I never wanted mercy changed, launch mercy was fine. Then you had to update her. And bam she was incredible and fun to play. Then she got nerfed, whatever I guess she was a little ridiculous, then she got nerfed again…okay she was still really good…Then again, nerfed to complete oblivion. to revive someone you have to basically slow to a crawl in an obviously dangerous area (considering someone just died there). Are you serious? Why would I play mercy when I could get gold damage and healing on Moira? Honestly blizzard, I appreciate the constant efforts at balancing but it’s a little ridiculous that you took a perfectly fine hero, made her amazing and then unplayable. I rarely play Overwatch anymore because I need to research who I can even play effectively at this point. It’s hard to maintain a following when the game is completely different every few months.
She’s still playable, though. 
But substantially less useful than Moira, and significantly less fun to play.
Techinically yes I remember because now she is still playable and OW is close to 2 years since official launch
Mercy has like ,a what ,50% Pickrate in pro-play ? and moira is around 7% I believe.
Less fun ? that’s your opinion.
Less useful ? No.
Because all Moira can do is heal, and she struggles to heal teams that are separated or on higher ground, which Mercy can handle just fine
Mercy also has Res which even on one person can make a huge difference, and damage beam is a great boon for ults or someone really hitting their marks
Heck Valk isn’t even all that weak, it’s just not an exciting ult to use
Mercy is fine and still seeing a healthy amount of play across all skill levels
The game hasn’t been out for 2 years… let alone the time before the nerf.
Not to mention the fact that the rework was because she was “unfun” which is a stupid argument. She was never OP, Ana was almost always a better pick than her, the rework left a balanced hero boring. She went from unfun as an enemy to unfun as a hero. I completely agree with you.
i member wiping the team and her ressing everybody…and me dying… what a frustrating that was…glad its gone…
she’s not playable in every single team comp and every single map reeeee
You mean the very first version of Mercy were she had rez ready in 30 seconds?
No, that clearly wasn’t.
A little ridiculous? She was a must-pick in comp if you didn’t want to lose! Besides, Mercy is far away from useless right now - and as others also wrote, I think she’s fine right now.
Of course it might feel like she’s ‘‘too nerfed’’ when she was absolutely OP for a while.
Watch Animetic play mercy on Youtube. She really made me realize just how fun and tactical current Mercy can be. She also overlays her videos with her current thoughts so you can understand why she makes some of her split second decisions.
She’s still playable the way a body continues to roll down a hill long after it dies. Her pick rates are artifacts of momentum and familiarity for many.
They wanted to make her more engaging to play. They succeeded, but then kept nerfing her. She is now the least engaging and the least fun she has ever been.
I say, get rid of rez, get rid of Valkyrie. Both of those abilities are horrible for Mercy’s play-style and completely ruin her enjoyment.
You play mercy when Moira is taken.
Btw mercy is fine. It is Moira who does a little too much.
Dps healers aren’t anything new but if you look at Zen and compare him to Moira, you will see what the issue is.
Moira’s pickrates have been dropping a lot
Mercy’s have gone back up and leveled off
They both have super similar winrates again, Mercy’s was always higher until after the last nerf which dropped her super far but she’s climbed back up to where she was
Rather than saying one is terrible and one is too good; go look at stats and numbers. You can play either depending on team comp, the map, and your preference and do just as well. Neither are “must picks”
Mercy does more healing on average, followed by Moira, then Lucio
Zen does more damage, followed by Moira, then Lucio
Even their average death numbers are super close with about 7-8 per game being the average.
Moira is dropping off in popularity as people realize Mercy isn’t as bad off as they thought once they got used to the last round of changes.
Every Support is substantially less useful than Moira (besides arguably Zen), that’s not a Mercy only issue. Personally I find Mercy more fun than Moira because Moira’s a braindead, low “skill”, high value hero and Mercy requires me to think on at least a basic level, but yeah Mercy is not fun to play in general.
I dream of a day when people stop complaining that an objectively good and top picked healer isn’t good enough. She’s never going to be as strong as she used to be because she was too strong. Get over it please so blizzard can give attention to hero’s barely played and that are down right useless (looking at you sym).
Mercy is not substantially less useful than Moira.
