Pharah with boosters and limited hover, but…was able to rocket jump without taking damage.
I would be all over this! Plus I think she would be a fun hero again.
sorry to necro this but wondering how many years we have to endure this ? nerf pharah, mercy or both quickly please
Phara mercy is an even more annoying issue now because they made mercy perma fly with her new and improved glitch-feature. Yaaaay… balance

You could be GM1 at half the dps roster and below par at hitscan and the second they pull out pharah mercy you better hope one dps has godlike aim.
No other hero has this problem to this degree, possibly widow fits into this category.
As a console pharah and mercy player, I respectfully disagree. No rework needed, maybe even need buffs to both of them. In plat and below mercy and pharah are both hard mid tier.
No idea why junk sym and torb aren’t treated like this, they’re so much more irritating to play against.
I totally agree, they need a Pharmercy team tweaking, not something that diminishes/destroys either of them, but tones down the two of them together slightly so that a Mercy isn’t just glued to Pharah the entire match, like a decrease in healing and damage boost after say 10 or so seconds that would then decrease a bit more after 20 or so seconds.
actually, there is no such need
there are folks who want this to happen, but that is different than a need
I personally dont feel that either should be nerfed – especially Mercy who just went through 2 character-gutting nerfs in a row
yep, here you go again with the semantics with “need” and “want”. 
We have no control over what Blizzard does with their game, they make the final decision. These are our own views!
Yes she needs to be nerfed to ground literally.
This happens all the time in QP. Pharmercy appears in 1st fight, half the team leaves after they die. Same can be said for Widow on Widow maps. They are both leaver generators. The main difference is that pharmercy isn’t that popular to play so they are bearable, whereas widow is in 50% of games.
They need to “fix” widow before pharmercy if they want to stop the revolving doors of leavers. And hanzo while they’re at it, and ana+zen to stop tank players backfilling every 2nd time they queue.
They really should’ve thought of that before they went and ruined the game’s entire identity last week…
Junk, Sym and Torb can be annoying, but they can be killed with skill by almost any dps. The fights can be in favour of a Junk, Sym or Torb, but not to an extreme length.
E.g. a soldier has a good chance of killing a Torb in my opinion, even if Torb is playing bunker. Poke and kill the turret then torb, or visa versa if torb is out of position.
Pharah has an extreme chance of success (I would say at least 80-20) vs Sym, Junk, Mei, hanzo, sombra, tracer and Reaper. The other have a chance, but even then some less then a 50-50.
If they play pharah mercy you have to swap almost your entire team to deal with it, no other hero comes close. It’s not a healthy state for the game.
Just change mercy healing slightly so it gives out a higher heal per second, but after 3 seconds starts to decline if you single heal or boost a target. Like Sym beam but in reverse.
Problem solved.
Dont forget genji as well pharah is one of his biggest counters
the statement I replied to indicated that this is a need
it isnt a need
my reply stands as it is
there is no such need, actually
in a game like this, balance between all character is almost universally considered a good thing, ergo no character should be “nerfed to the ground”
No it does not. Get one good hitscan player and it’s over for them.

As long as I get my 1.5 second ga cd back I really am not too bothered 
pharmercy is not done very effectively in metal ranks, easily countered by distracting the mercy with enough damage to the rest of Thier team that she leaves pharah, then focus pharah. If you’re wondering why something this simple works on lower ranks it’s because there’s so much tunnel vision in metal ranks it’s a whole different game. If pharmacy is only considered a problem at high levels of play then it’s not really a priority imo 
2023 and y’all are still crying about pharmercy

“In Plat and below”
There’s your issue. You’re in Plat and below.

A hero is weaker than average, but 2 characters is stronger than one on average? Way to break down the complicated math for us lol.
