Rework Mercy for the health of the hero

Because I already went through it in TF2. It just makes game boring, when you already know, what will happen and where.

Thats literally what you’ve been saying about OVERWATCH… You “know” your pocket is going to lose a 2v1… You KNOW the person your “boosting is going to be the new enemy focus”…“so why bother”

So improving past bronze/silver will make the game entirely predictable but playing in bronze around people who run around aimlessly is more enjoyable for you? Sounds like your delusional

Yes, it would be more fun. Because higher players react in most predictable manner possible, where newbies tend to make random things.

Kind of makes sense, since they learnt from same sources.

As someone in MASTERS that has played in GM I can tell you that you’re so wrong. Yea you might have similar comps on some maps but they never play out the same exact way.

Again why am I wasting my time with someone who enjoys complaining on the forum (almost 11K posts) rather than actually playing a game

If someone doesn’t care for your opinion, as much as you appear to not care for their opinion, that doesn’t then mean they should be obligated to move on to another game just because another member of the community told them to do so :laughing:.

They obviously still care for the integrity of the game itself, which is no doubt partly why they and quite a number of players (even myself) participate on the official forum. Not everyone will share the same opinion and viewpoint at the end of the day, not everyone will share your view and not everyone will share my view. However, telling someone they should go and play another game, presumably because they don’t care for your opinion and you don’t care for their opinion, I feel is crossing a line that a reasonably civilised discussion shouldn’t go over.

Good for you, keep playing. At least it’s more entertaining, than OWL.

Guess only step left for me is predicting, when exact teammate will hit or miss, but that requires somewhat longer surveillance and access to their viewcam.

Thats not true tho. They care about the ability to win while holding left click only on Mercy

If they are not enjoying overwatch and dont have fun while playing then advising them to play something else instead of complaining (11k posts) on the forum might lead to more happiness in their day-to-day.

Yes, that’s my specialty in games, and that’s what I trained in TF2. Sometimes to the point of being accused of cheating, as I sensed enemy Spy behind me and kill him.

I bet you were SO PISSED you had to actually kill an opponent in a competitive online shooter

I were annoyed, not going to lie. So I made a deal with that Spy: I turn blind eye on his activities, he doesn’t attempt to stab me. Since we both knew, how will end his attempt to stab me.

Killing is best, when it’s done by automatic turret.

#ThatTotallyHappened

Yes, it did. Though I had plenty of unreasonable players, that would attempt to stab me again and again. Which was kind of sad to watch.

Can you believe they were trying to play the video game?!

They were just stupid. They could stab literally anyone else, but decided to go for me over and over. Even while I can clearly see them coming.

Like, I understand, that you are trying to kill someone, but it seems like you picked wrong target.

Her healing was nerfed pre-rolequeue and now its hitting back hard. Her healing back then kept the dps alive for too long.
For role-queue, 55hp/s would help a lot so mercy mains dont have to use the ultimate every chance it charges to keep up with the damage.

to OP:

I dont see single rez as being unhealthy for Mercy in any fashion, and I like how the power is configured as it is right now.

as such, I wouldnt want it to be changed or removed

No. Why do people insist that valk is a bad ult? Have you never looked up what it actually does? I guess I’ll do it for you then.

  • You can chain damage boost or healing to your entire team which is insanely strong. And you can do this from double the normal distance.

  • Mercy’s healing goes from 50 HP/s to 60 HP/s.

  • Mercy heals herself for 20 HP/s constantly, regardless of any damage she’s taken. Normally she only heals herself if she doesn’t take damage for one second.

  • She can literally fly. You can fly up and down as well (which for some reason, no one ever does along with using cover and abusing the longer beam range, then they complain valk just makes you easier to kill???). Which allows you to strafe in two dimensions instead of just one, which makes you sooo much harder to hit.

  • You move faster during valk, normally she walks at 5.5 m/s (if Reddit is correct), but with valk she can fly (in any direction) at 9 m/s.

  • GA is faster (17 m/s to 25 m/s), and has double the range.

  • Her pistol’s projectile speed gets doubled and she gets infinite ammo.

  • And apparently according to the wiki, she can see enemy health bars even if she didn’t deal the damage herself. So that’s a bonus if you have a mic.

All of these things combine and make valk a really good ult.

Her increased movement speed + her ability to fly + her ability to strafe in 2D + her constant self healing + her buffed GA range and speed means she’s super survivable. She can pop valk to quickly escape a bad situation, and is just generally harder to kill during her ult. It’s also useful for contesting the objective (if she can, depends on the situation). Her buffed beam range also means she can stay in safe positions and still support her team in situations she normally couldn’t without putting herself in a lot of danger.

Her increased survivability and mobility + her infinite ammo and faster projectile speed make her insanely good at picking off key isolated targets (99% of the time it’s an uncontested Widow), before quickly returning to her team with the buffed GA range and speed.

When she uses valk she gets value if her team is split up or spread out. (Ignoring the fact her ult already helps keep her alive which is valuable in and of itself).

  • If her team is grouped up, she can apply 60 HP/s or 30% damage boost to her entire team which is huge. Giving your entire team 30% more damage each is no joke. It’s going to make your team melt through enemy shields and resources, they’re going to take way more damage, and it’s going to put a lot more pressure on the enemy healers. (Combine this with a supercharger and the enemy team just… dies). Or you could give everyone on your team 60 HP/s, which if the enemy team doesn’t have great focus fire, is really strong.

  • If her team is split up, the double beam range, buffed GA range and speed, slightly stronger heals and chain healing, plus her general survivability and mobility increase allows her to juggle really spread out teammates. She can heal spread out teammates from further away, she heals them faster, and if they’re grouped up you can heal them both at the same time which effectively halves the time you need to spend healing them. You’re way more mobile so you can easily reach your entire team no matter where they are, even if they’re in a really bad spot. Her ability to fly also gives you better awareness since you can see more on your screen at one time so you can shot call, swoop in and give your teammate the advantage in a duel, or save them from a bad situation.

Her buffed mobility allows her to get a rez off in situations she normally wouldn’t. I’m not talking about someone who died in the middle of the enemy team, don’t… don’t do that, you’ll just die. I’m talking about someone who died far away from your team, or behind the enemy team, stuff like that.

There’s probably even more benefits/uses for valk that I missed, but my god, how can ANYONE not say that at the very least, valk is a decent ult? I’ve seen people complain that valk just makes them EASIER to kill like lmao w h a t??? What do you people even do when you use valk? Do you just pop it, fly out into the open, stand still, die, then hop on to the forums and rant about how valk sucks??? How does valk “add nothing other than the ability to fly”???

Mass rez Mercy is just like, objectively less skillful and engaging than current Mercy. The fact that rez is a regular cooldown and that it’s hard to pull off (thus requiring restraint to not feed your brains out and suicide rez), plus the fact that valk requires more input and decision making than mass rez, means that I’m confident in saying that current Mercy actually takes skill to play well. And that, to me at least, she’s just more fun to play. I can assure you, if valk gets removed and mass rez comes back, I’m probably never going to touch this hero ever again.

Also I know this reply is getting long enough already but just… I have to respond to this ok?

How is trying to stab the Medic picking the wrong target lmfao??? You lose all of your ubercharge if you die as Medic, he’s literally the #1 target for everyone on the opposing team. Going on a suicide mission to kill the enemy Medic is worth it like 99% as almost every class. Killing the enemy Medic is like one of the most valuable thing you can do in the entire game, what are you on about?

Funny this only become a problem after her rework, when her heals didn’t change at all. (You might bring up Valkyrie but someone already highlighted how her healing average barely changed after her rework)

Almost looks like it really wasn’t her heals that was the problem.
