You don’t pick Lucio for speedboost, you pick him for his damage? Brigitte not her her AoE healing and armor, but her damage? (Lowest DPS in the game btw) Zen’s the outlier.
They’re two separate abilities. Valkyrie is basically playing Mercy for 15 seconds, the thought process in and out of it are very similar. Revive was an instant cast, instant reward button. To say that Valkyrie requires much more thought (but perhaps more importantly, varied thought which provides a new layer of skill)
Mercy’s healing beam does not disconnect until 3 consecutive seconds (or 2, I forget) without LOS. You can effectively A+D and be behind a wall for 10 or more seconds.
I understood we were talking about valk here, if you wanna nitpick, try to make it coherent, valk as a whole increases all you can do with Mercy but if you want me to be more specific then here:
Valk increases the level of aggression you can take with Mercy, I could forget I have those pesky beams since Mercy’s weapon while in valk is amazing
and here you say you were completely still… valk allows you to move into cover faster, to peek more effectively and to stay healing easier, you cannot cover the sun with your thumb
Most of the time while actively playing you’re doing DPS, the utility is just a small point overall to your actual contribution in terms of how the player plays the hero
ie if you want to use Lucio’s speedboost utility you just simply switch to it and continue DPSing as normal, his utility is just a single button press, like Zen
Honestly you asking for this is HIGHLY hypocritical, when you yourself say that you remain immobile during valk and in high ranks staying immobile IS a death sentence, stop rank shaming if you can barely understand basic mechanics like moving targets being harder to hit
What you said implied that you were unable to heal and damage boost without Valkyrie. Valkyrie does not enable you to heal or damage boost, that was already possible outside of it.
The only changes are she can shoot without reloading. Her weapon is unaltered apart from that.
Would you like a clip of me sitting still in the air with Valkyrie and winning a game in the process because I have one saved in my highlights
How? Cover peaking is already perfectly doable outside of Valkyrie, unless it allows you to phase through walls which is a buff I was unaware that was added.
Factually, profile information is unnecessary for discussion, and every account owner has the right to make his/her profile private or public, as they deem fit
The statements you make imply to me that you do not play Mercy as regularly as other players who are in this discussion, and thus your input would not be considered as valuable.
I was not attempting to rank shame you. I have no interest in your rank.
And I will post a clip of mine killing D.va by shooting at her from behind for 100% of her health with Sombra without her noticing, just because enemies suck doesn’t mean a skill is badly designed, your bias is showing
Unless you are saying the matchmaking in Blizzard games is completely out of whack, I am playing against GM-Top 500 rated players based on MMR, are you making the claim that these players suck?
I know you only seem to be able to read things presented infront of you, but in conversations there is this thing called implication on the basis of words.
I said that would make your statements less valuable - I don’t care if you comment or not. It really is of no consequence to me since you are the one that initially replied to me, not the other way around.
