I think the problem of mercy is she is supposed to be a ‘MAIN HEALER’ but with 50hps …she just cant.
With 50hps she is more like an offsupport with dmg boost, high mobility and rez, and i am fine with it but
An offsupport is supposed to have a strong ultimate
This is my point…buff her healing so she can do her job as a main healer
Or change the ultimate and she can do her job as an offsupport
(I am sorry, i dont speak eng very well, i hope you understand me).
Have a nice day, this is just my opinion

I don’t think… she’s a main healer anymore…
Like, Geoff says she is… but I think he’s lying…

She is a main healer. She provides a lot of healing over the course of a game and literally cannot miss.

Honestly when the whole rework stuff started I was terrified of them getting rid of Rez because it’s so iconic to Mercy, but now with the way they’re taking her I wish they would trash the ability and spice up the rest of her kit, away from the watered down version she’s at.

To preface my post, I wanted to say your English seems perfectly fine to me! Keep at it.
Anyway, OT; I honestly think she can fit the role of main or off heals right now. I think balance wise, she’s in a pretty good spot. Design in her valk and rez on E I have issues with, but I think she does her job well right now.
I know this isn’t really a popular opinion, but it’s my honest one that I don’t think she needs any buffs right now. I do think that she has some flaws which can make her feel unfun for a lot of players which is a core design issue stemming from her rework, but unfortunately that’s almost certainly not changing any time soon.

I am a Mercy main and i play her just with moira or ana, i use her as an offsupport …
Or when i have someone to dmg boost and im fine with it…but idk
She is supposed to be a main healer so why can i just play her with another main healer?

If they want her to feel more like an off support I agree, give her an ult more suited to that but also a burst heal would be nice.

She shines when she has an Ana and Moira to support her I feel.

Because that classification (main and off) is highly inaccurate, take tanks for example, we supposedly have 3 main tanks and 3 off tanks, you’re supposed to be able to pair one main with one off, however, there are couples that don’t mesh well, for example Orisa and Wrecking ball, or Orisa and Roadhog, or Winston and Roadhog
Same goes with healers, you can pair a Mercy with Lucio but Lucio will always be better with a Moira because of their combined AoE heals. It’s not that Mercy isn’t a main healer but that the classification just doesn’t work
Specially currently since we have a ton of synergies that increases several heroe’s viability, for example if you had a pharrah on your team your best bet is having a Mercy and as the other healer your best bet would be Zen

I’d like Rez as single target back as her ult and rebalance around that.
It would free up a lot of power. It won’t make people complain about multirez, and would make her day to day powers stronger.

You want her to be something that she was but if we buff her healing then she will most likely knock out a hero that was already a good healer like Lucio or a skillful hero like ana. if the devs need to focus on anyone it has to be Brigitte, leave Mercy on the back burner.
We all know that Big daddy J said himself that mercy was the main healer, but I think we all know now that she “Was” the main healer.
But what off-healer does Mercy synergise well with?
Pair a Mercy with a Zen or Brigitte and you’re lacking healing, and as you said, Lucio pairs better with other main healers.

Mercy/zen was supposed to be her synergy, now they don’t make up enough healing between them outside of ultimates

Mercy’s most synergy lies with Zen, not so much because of their healing but because of dmg boost and discord orb, their ults cover each others as well, specially since Mercy’s charges really fast and Zen’s is more of a slow one
Also, there’s no safer Rez than one done with a trans Zen next to you
In reality while Moira/Lucio can pump out a TON of healing they lack the utility that Mercy/Zen can bring, it all depends on team comp and map

She’s not a “main healer”, and she’s not an “off healer”.
She’s just a “healer”. She doesn’t really excel at anything, but she can fit into pretty much any comp.
That’s my opinion anyways.

She gets more average healing than Ana does.

I wish her ult was just…more. Her ult would be fine if every other ult in the game wasn’t way better. Her ult is just, “now you can burst heal as good as Moira heals regularly and you can fly up if you want to get sniped.”

I feel like people focus too hard on the heal stat to the point where they forget the context of her healing in the first place. Mercy is the only main healer whose primary healing ability isn’t limited by ammo (Ana) or run on a resource system (Moira). 50 hps is a lot of healing for someone who can never run out of it, which is why she’s still classified as a main healer.
At least, that’s just what I think. Personally I think she’s fine where she is. I wouldn’t mind a minor healing buff but I don’t think the nerf did anything to change her role as a main healer

A couple of things to keep in mind
Hammond is not an off-tank, he’s more of a main tank but it’s a bit of a blurred line, though he can work with winston or dva.
Orisa and Hog work well together, the only alternative is Orisa and Dva. They’re really good for breaking shields and halt + hook is a great combo
her healing is ok… if you can avoid enemy bullets and eveything because Mercy is the only support who cant defend herself while healing
what Mercy needs is able to wield her gun while healing, even a few sec would be enough
