I’ve been playing mercy since overwatch 1 launched and stuck with her through all the nerfs she received since then. This nerf, however, is the nail in the coffin for her. She’s basically a sitting duck waiting to be slaughtered now.
I sometimes have trouble even now surviving a flanking moira or tracer. Imagine with the nerf to her mobility. All i could do now is whip out my pistol that does no damage and hope it’s a bad moira/tracer player.
The most fun part of playing mercy is gone. Sure, i could play moira and get 16k heals with 40 eliminations, but i just don’t like her character. I love mercy’s character. Love her character design, personality, and how she’s this guardian angel that swoops down from the sky to bring you back to life. Heroes never die!
Anyway, until they resurrect my queen, i’m off to play fortnite or apex. Have fun, everyone. I hope your heroes do well this season and hope to come back when Mercy gets treated better
Oh god you might have to actually apply half a brain cell to pulling off her mobility (that got buffed into the stratosphere with OW2) now. The horror. Better quit the entire game.
You joke, but that is exactly what happened last time Blizzard did this.
If you think you will enjoy the changes they will put in place to get the support players back to the numbers they will need, I have some news for you.
We have been down this path before, and my sweet summer child, you are in for a WILD ride.
I’ll give you a hint, the destination doesn’t look like what you have pictured in your head.
I don’t really care? Oh no we didn’t make the character faceroll enough to attract RPers and people that don’t even play FPSers to begin with. Guess Overwatch is dead. The hilarious thing is that it really isn’t that bad of a nerf, not considering how intensely she was buffed in the transition to OW2. She’ll still be arguably the easiest Support (at least) in the entire game.
The fact you have trouble surviving a Tracer with Mercy’s current still unchanged mobility is honestly just skill issue. Sorry but it is.
You can just keep flying between targets, making Tracer waste her blinks, and use your horizontal movement to make it hard for them to aim, getting you out of that closeish range that Tracer excels in.
Apart from that, wait until the changes go live? Try it out? If by then you’re not content there are 30 something more heroes you can play?
Almost every hero in overwatch is easy to play. Especially compared to other games. Obviously, you didn’t read the post because i did point out that i could play other heroes. I just don’t want to because i love Mercy’s character.
There are times, of course, when i get into a match and someone picks mercy before me, and i play someone else and do fine. I just love playing mercy. You act like the other supports are extremely difficult to play, and that’s why mercy mains play mercy. Not true. Moira for example, is extremely easy to play, I just don’t like her character. Get it?
Notice i said i sometimes have trouble. When i have no teamates to fly to, i’m a sitting duck. Even if i do, it’s not as simple as fly from teamate to teamate because you have some heroes that can target you in the air. This nerf will just make it way more difficult to stay alive
