And who is to say the first will be Mercy?
If you ask me the hero most deserving of a revert is Roadhog. He’s objectively in a worse place than Mercy is.

No one said that. From what I understand.
That’s not fact… That’s an opinion, that you believe is factual.

Roadhog doesn’t need a revert.
he just needs tweaks and then he’ll be fine.
same with sym and hanzo.
mercy as is cant be fixed in this state a rework needs to happen. (preferably after torbjorn gets his rework and after bastion gets his after that.)

Old Roadhog would be worse off than current Roadhog.
Its been like 3 months since they last responded to you guys. It seems you just plug your ears and pretend they haven’t said anything so you can keep spamming the forums.
With the recent nerf to her HPS you might seem some more adjustments, but nothing they have done or said in the past year indicates they are even considering a rework or a revert.

It’s ridiculous how much Mercy spam is going on on these forums, you guys are just a complete joke.
You know that you are not going to get heard by the Devs because they already stated their opinion? Spamming the same nonsense over and over again wont get you anywhere, you are just going to completely destroy the reputation of Mercy players out there.
I don’t see how you posting here saying its spam (when its not) and spamming what is seemingly nearly the same thing you’ve said the last 15 times and nothing happened.
its almost like the threads aren’t spam.

- Mercy had 50hps before the rework.
- Mercy was given 60hps before the rework was announced.
- Mercy was brought back to 50hps in the recent patch.
Edit: Corrected second point - thanks Titanium! 
re·vert
verb
rəˈvərt/Submit
1.
return to (a previous state, practice, topic, etc.).
So by definition, the devs have already reverted Mercy, despite what they said previously. I’m looking forward towards seeing if more reverts to the hero happen in the future! 
This was a huge success.

Jeff said not long after the January Nerfs that she looked fine and they had no plans of a revert and they wanted to put the revert to bed.
Ah Xavvy, I was wondering where you’d disapeared to. No doubt Mercy will end up getting nerfed AGAIN after the usual Rez Rebound in pick/winrate, but this time I’ve saved some receipts to call out anyone who says the nerf was needed.

Half true. They said their opinion at the time, which was that she was in a good spot. Not OP, not UP, a good spot. HOWEVER, since then she’s been nerfed multiple times, so it’s pretty clear their opinion must have changed in some way, otherwise there’d have been no changes.

I don’t agree with either of that, Roadhog’s design is such that he needs to be able to get consistent value out of his hook to make the other drawbacks worth it. This was true immediately before the gun rebalance and it plainly isn’t anymore unless you’re hooking, like, Zen or something like that.
This only gets worse with the recent “bug fix” that makes Hog’s RMB do no damage at anything past 10m.
Hog is mostly played with Orisa these days who has the most consistent shield uptime in the game, so the TaB buffs don’t even mean all that much anymore since he can freely choose to be behind safety whenever casting it now. Meanwhile he can’t actually generate value by himself - he’s carried by halt hook combo. Otherwise he’s a borderline throw pick.
Mercy’s rez on E is balanceable by putting it on a resource meter, which in turn lets Valk “supercharge” Rez by drastically speeding up its generation. Whether the devs want to do this is another story.
Tagging this response in here since it’s also relevant.
It’s a new rite of passage when joining the OW team as a developer:
You cut off your ears as a sacrifice to the Great Deaf Deities of Jeff and Geoff.
And not just the real ears, but also the virtual ones. The ones that allow you to comprehend the community. Just get rid of them. You clearly do not need them when developing OW.
Of course, people questioned this new rite of passage. But the concerns fell on deaf ears.

1st. Why does being the biggest thread mean you need a response? Do you think the biggest one before the Mercy one needed a response? How about the one before that?
2nd. Other heroes have had issues for much longer than Mercy, so they should take priority. I am a fan of the suggestions you are talking about, but I think it is something that should wait it’s turn.
3rd. You are reposting an active thread without adding anything to it, which is spam. Any comments you would like to say about a thread should be said on that thread.

Quick fact check: Actually, she was given 60 health/second long before the rework was announced. This is dating all the way back to September of 2016.

You would be right that she had 60hps in september, but keep in mind that Mercy existed since May 2016 (since the games launch). During that time, Mercy had 50hps upon launch, and was buffed to 60hps later on, around season 2. She recieved a ptr update where it was buffed to 60hps in august of 2016.

Right, that’s my point. You said:
Which, unless there was a rework around September of 2016, isn’t the case.
