Only about 10% of players want Mercy to stay like this

If you want to you could ask the OP of the post since they’ve taken into account of asking for ID verification (your Battlenet code) to verify your vote and answer.

It would be bias if they mainly just asked only Mercy mains, but they managed to even sub categorized non-support and non-Mercy players what they think as well, so theres not much double standard since its showing what both sides think about Mercy’s balance rn.

I was also asked to look into DPS and Tank mains so…

DPS mains

• 12.0% said they want to leave her as-is
• 0.36% said they want a Nerf
• 15.5% said they want a Buff
• 27.7% said they want a Rework
• 44.4% said they want a Revert to Mass Res

Tank Mains

• 9.7% said to leave her as-is
• 0% said they want a Nerf
• 21.2% said they want a Buff
• 28.0% said they want a Rework
• 41.1% said they want a Revert to Mass Res

Both Tank and DPS mains

• 11.0% said to leave her as-is
• 0.2% said they want a Nerf
• 17.9% said they want a Buff
• 27.8% said they want a Rework
• 43.0% said they want a Revert to Mass Res

The only two differences major differences I see are thus:

• More Mercy mains want Mass Res than Non-Mercy mains
• Almost no Mercy mains want her to be kept as is, whereas, for the rest, 1 in 10 on average want her to to be left alone.

And they did give a disclaimer that it does not reflect the entire playerbase since, not a lot of people go on the forums, but it still does relfect peoples opinion about her balance rn. Check out the post, I dont wanna copy paste the whole disclaimer since its really long.

If im not mistaken the number of people was

@Sly-13591

2709 people initially responded. Even after trimming out some repeats, clarifications, and ineviteble trolls, I still have 2680 “clean” replies to use.

As far as demographics go, I’ll be lumping people into specific categories (Yes there is overlap. This is simply to get a general idea of what type of players are saying what. Also note that the demographic questions were completely optional. If there’s a gap in the numbers, it’s because some people left some parts blank).

• Support Players – Those who consider themselves capable of flexing onto the support role – 90.5% of participants
• Non – Support Players – Those who don’t regularly play support – 9.0% of participants
• Support Mains – Those who main a Support hero in particular – 62.5% of participants
• Mercy Mains – Those who identify themselves as Mercy mains in particular - 42.2% of participants
• Non – Mercy Support Mains – Those who main a support hero that isn’t Mercy (ie. Ana, Brigitte, Lucio, Moira, and Zen mains) - 20.2% of participants

And now that all the clarification’s out of the way, we can move on to what people want to actually know
