Sojourn is only oppressive with Mercy pocket

played against a Sojourn and they didn’t have Mercy pocket, they ended up with a negative kd. Like I said, Mercy pocket is the problem.

It’s kinda crazy how broken Mercy is in stadium as well with her rez build, who would ever want to play against that

Yes, teamwork is a serious problem.

Mercy pocket doesn’t help some gold player with 5% accuracy. It’s a damage boost not an accuracy boost

Mercy pocket is the only reason these trashcan players can get kills, it’s broken and is abused by smurfs

I played against a doomfist the other day and he disconected. I think it’s safe to assume that doomfist players have bad internet connection.

That’s definitely part of why you see Mercy banned a lot more than the average person would assume, and it has nothing to do with Mercy mafia or whatever, or people just hating on her as a character. She’s too much of an enabler.

You can take out Pharah and all of the boosted hitscans in 1 ban along with people disliking the spectator hero. So she kind of gets a lot of ban votes from all sides.

Why you trolling my post, if you agree with what i’m saying

We’ve agreed 1 time in like 5 years I didn’t want to make it 2.

Wild.

Mercy’s banned in a lot of my matches, and Sojourn’s still rampant and dominating.

Almost like Sojourn is the problem because she is overpowered. :thinking:

I’ve played as and against Sojourn dozens of times without a Mercy pocket. She’s still oppressive. Just because you played with a bad player doesn’t change the fact that Sojourn is still a problem without Mercy

It’s the community being bad at the game, if you can’t beat a Sojourn without pocket work on your mechanics

I’ve beat a top 500 Sojourn with a pocket before and it would have been WAY easier if they didn’t have a mercy pocket

Now there’s heroes who are flat out broken like Tracer, raidboss tanks, but Sojourn aint one of em

Mercy being problematic and Sojourn being laughably overpowered aren’t mutually exclusive.

Is Sojourn busted and deserving of nerfs both with or without Mercy? Yes, absolutely.
Does that absolve Mercy of also being a large part of this exact issue literally every time this discussion pops up? No, it doesn’t.

Can’t we say the same about you? If you can’t beat a Mercy, work on your mechanics. It’s a hero that doesn’t even fight back when you shoot it.

Now, that’s not to say pocketing isn’t a problem, but why are Mercy players pocketing Soujorn instead of, say, Symmetra? Why aren’t they pocketing Reapers? Ventures? Why aren’t they pocketing Hanzos? That’s because Soujorn is strong by herself, and Mercy intensifies it by holding the hand of a bad player by erasing their mistakes.

It does, it’s the exact reason Pharah got reworked so she cant sit in the sky box with mercy all game, it’s the reason Ashe got her damage/ fire rate changed

Mercy is a throw pick if you aren’t pocketing a dps, playing Mercy with dive heroes, nobody to pocket is throwing

Soldier is a trash hero, you give him a Mercy pocket he becomes oppressive

Mercy is the only hero that is both OP and trash at the same time. Banning her literally means killing minimum 5 birds with one stone. Sojourn is disgusting without a Mercy definitely but with a Mercy it literally makes you want to uninstall the game, especially when those 2 are duo-ed.

Mercy pocket has made me question why I play this game, long before Sojourn
