Every game now boils down to which Mercy has crawled the furthest up their Soldier’s backside.
Constant damage pocket, constant heal, res always saved for him, and he’s finishing games with 2x or 3x everyone else’s damage.
Blizzard fix your game, this is BORING.
mercy should just be nerfed really
ress is just complete bs
oh you got a pick ? nvm ress lolol
Were you here in OW1 when she was able to rez the entire team all at once?
Replace soldier with any DPS that gets a slight buff and you have why mercy is so problematic for the game.
Don’t tell the mercy mains that they might be issue though … it won’t end well.
Playing into any dps being pocketed all game isn’t fun. Also soldier buffs didn’t change breakpoints against 200 hp heroes while he has a pocket. Before and after it’s still 9 shots or 2 and a rocket.
The consistent damage Soldier can put out though is the problem for me. It feels like he has no downtime, and if the player gets a good position, he just becomes this unstoppable constantly firing turret.
The he gets ult, and he becomes an unkillable turret that doesn’t miss.
I just spend my whole game sighing about how unfun OW is.
… Is it weird that that phrasing and imagery kinda turned me on? 
I’d rather play into a consistent dmg hero compared to high burst or cc. But again, it just isn’t fun playing into anyone being pocketed all game. Without good coordination from the enemy they are hard to take down. Get to position in a much more aggressive way as they are constantly being healed/dmg boosted so they can get away with it often.
NGL, I knew someone would say this 
bonk
Go to horny jail.
… Fine. I will go.
Just don’t tie my hands behind my back. 
Mercy counters ‘picks’. Its why you need to get picks faster than once every 30sec or play heroes which can camp bodies aka claim space.
Widow claims kills on open space but cant cover corner kills.
If you get a kill as a flanker solo and someone comes to help mercy you got 1v3. Your team isn’t helping you as it should.
Rush comps are an option as well.
Definitely not they wouldn’t be saying it if they were
The issue here is Mercy, less so the soldier.
yeah because if they nerf soldier, then you will get cassidy or hanzo pocket on all matchs xd or wharramercy.
soldier needs nerfs but mercy need some reworks.
They’ll run around like headless chickens and try to “re-balance” everything until maybe till Overwatch 3, they’ll realize, it’s the Mercy that was causing issues MORE than other heroes.
I agree, both things need adjusted - but adjust MERCY in this too… not just the other heroes.
Soldier solo is fine. It’s the pocket what makes him strong. Same with Ashe, Cass, Pharah… pretty much any not one shot dps really.
I’m tired of getting successful flanks only to Mercy to ressurect my picks…
no someway is true. anyway i would put a small nerf on soldier. maybe remove the helix rocket buff
Fine by me. It was an unnecessary buff imo (all of them besides maybe bullet damage to be fair). But yeah, Soldier without Mercy pocket isn’t nearly as oppressive. I would rather play against Soldier than any other hitscan, his kit just feels fair to go against and isn’t very bursty. Helix can shred but they are projectile so I’m fine dying to direct hits and follow up.
High damaging projectiles are infinitely more fun to play against than high burst damage hitscan because you can at least dodge them.
Mercy is the problem, I can’t believe we are going 6+ years and 2 iterations of the game with this constant loop of a damage hero being fine on their own but then gets pushed over the edge by Mercy only for the damage hero to be nerfed. It’s so moronic.
