Pointing this out

General Discussion

Reinhardt

  • Rocket Hammer: damage increased from 75 > 85
  • No ultimate charge nerf

Mercy

  • Caduceus Staff: healing increased from 50 > 55 hps
  • No ultimate charge nerf

Genji

  • Shuriken: recovery time decreased from 0.75 > 0.68s (no one asked for this)
  • 15% ultimate charge reduction

Am I missing something or is this just blatant favoritism?

Idk about blatant favoritism, but it is annoying that they’re inconsistent

At least they should’ve done it for Rein, idk if Mercy’s buff changed much of anything to warrant a compensation nerf

AND the Mercy witch hunt is back on.

DPS Main :white_check_mark:
661+ hours on Genji :white_check_mark:
10 mins on Mercy :white_check_mark:

Favoritism? :upside_down_face:

He got an overall net buff for damage, you should be happy you are no longer a blade bot. I am dying more now to Genji than I ever have (barring Blade as its about the same. The pain I feel when somone wakes that Nano’ed Genji I just slept.)

Reins Ult and Mercy ults are two different tiers of power imo.

Her ults not even in Genji’s ballpark. But as it was already said I think it’s more devs inconsistency than favoritism.

I wouldn’t take it personal since all the roster has been changed the only thing that is certain is how unsure they are about hero changes.

I can only imagine lol. I personally suck at Genji, he is not an easy hero to play imo. And to get canceled out of a fat blade must feel horrible. But hell… it is not easy to sleep a good Genji that is nanoed.

Mercy ultimate is nowhere near as good as genji. It’s kinda meh (not to say bad). Reinhardt ult was nerfed so it isn’t that good anymore. You can kinda just throw it away. But genji? That thing wins games.

8

are these future buffs or buffs that are already out because I don’t remember seeing these in patches, at least for the mercy healing.

9

Already in game.

Depends how you play it - same with Genji.

I personally use Valk as fight initiation - and it usually pays off

11

The thing is valk is just a budget supercharger. Just… worse… by a lot. Nobody cares about her healing beam going around, it’s the damage boost we are all here for, but it’s just a cheap version of super charger. The ult is fun and all but it really is very underwhelming. You hear the enemy mercy ult and you are like “Oh, okay.” But you hear the enemy genji ult and you are like “OMG KILL IT”

Also look at my post count

Don’t you dare try to jebait me

To me genji is on the same level as rat. Yes… that rat.

16

What about it???

17

Well, I prefer Valk than Supercharger.

It is far more versatile and independent of any variables outside of “people using it”.

18

THATS just… such a wiki thing to say. Supercharger boosts 50% of your damage, compared to valk 30%, we all love our annoying flying moth but… whenever I see mercy in valk I just see a flying mini b0ng0.

19

Also a more annoying one

super charger is also stationary, destroyable and I think the distance is shorter than valk?

You have to rely on your team to position themselves to even use it, and have to protect it to get use out of it whereas Valk has far more agency.
