Sorry but Mercy is absolutely terrible

[Kristal-11786]

isn’t rez a burst heal since it instantly takes you from dead to full?

[Megadodo-11847]

Have you taken a look at BigMainLittleChains?

I’d reply but that thread isn’t active anymore. And that thread only nicks at one issue I have on her design.

it is an active thread, actually…but the point being - does it represent an improvement over existing Mercy from your perspective you?

[MARTINHO-21999]

She sucks. End of discussion. Any other healer is better.

You don’t like Mercy, great. Almost every other people like.
You can move on and stop making threads about her?

[Megadodo-11847]

In my experience, a lot of silver and gold players think they are deserving of diamond or better but have been held back by bad luck. Such players then adopt the characters played in higher tiers figuring theyll need to be good at said characters as they rise to “where they should be”

Funny then that people are saying she’s used in OWL so must be okay, yet her low level stats are awful.

I know of no valid data that backs up this statement

She is suppose to be good a topping up DPS. If she needs to heal a tank they have shields they can put up while she heals them.

Zen is adequate for topping off, that whole notion suggests there’s no danger. When there is danger he has Transcendence. And he has Discord which is 5x better than boost. She’s basically a worse Zen, even Res can’t be used in particular danger.

Our experience differs.

I have rezzed successfully in mid teamfight many times, and have watched others at many different tiers do so as well, multiple times

I can see where some rez’s are riskier than others, but I dont see “can’t”

Nothing about her kit helps in dangerous positions

I find GA, with or without superjump, to be highly effective when she encounters danger.

I am not particularly good with aim yet have successfully fended off attackers with her underrated pistol at other times.

, she’s not a combat healer. She’s post fight clean up.

Our experience differs

I am able to use her as a combat healer in matches I am in, and I have watched players from bronze through top500 do so successfully as well

[Megadodo-11847]

Playing with Mercy is overwhelmingly a bad experience.

The good news for you is that there are over 2 dozen other characters for a player who feels as you do to choose from.

When the dive meta was prominent, everyone was also complaining that Ana didn’t have any movement ability to escape.

Ana was buffed to be good.

Mercy will not change in the same capacity if she doesn’t change at all. Ana only got better because she was buffed, not because of some big brain playerbase attitude change.

What exactly do you expect to change? Ana is still going to be stronger than her if nothing is changed, and thus a tank meta is going to continue forever.

With, not as. I can’t make someone not pick her, as much as I’d love to.

Are you another one who needs to take a stats class. I’m happy to go through this with you.

[Noggy-21797]

I have to completely disagree. Listen I understand that this game works on metas and counters, but was there a time we actually needed ‘burst heal’, ‘burst damage’? I don’t really think so.
In my opinion, Mercy is a very viable support hero, my favorite to add.

I stand by what I said.

I am not in need of a statistics classes

If I understand this correctly, you have chosen to open a thread complaining about Mercy when you dont play Mercy.

Its certainly your right to do so if you wish, but thats interesting, nonetheless

[Jessicka-1960]

If I understand this correctly, you have chosen to open a thread complaining about Mercy when you dont play Mercy.

People frequently complain about bad heroes they don’t want on their team. This is one of those.

I stand by what I said.

You stand by being wrong then. Interesting. You deny stats and data, then throw anecdotes at me. Very interesting indeed.

People generally complain about characters they are involved with, but you’re entirely within your rights to complain about any OW-related thing you wish to complain about

I stated that I am unaware of any valid data to support the claim made in the statement I replied to

I am indeed unaware of any such data, and as such, my statement isn’t wrong

Well, Overbuff has valid data, and her win rates as reflected there are poor at all ranks.

I find Overbuff to be an inaccurate and incomplete source of data

Overbuff still thinks Symmetra is a support character

[Jessicka-1960]

I find Overbuff to be an inacurrate and incomplete source of data

You are wrong. Overbuff has a sample size of 10s of thousands of players, we only need 16.5k for an accurate, representative sample. It is exceptionally accurate insofar as stats are concerned. You just don’t like them.

[kya-11467]

in all honesty, you only think mercy is trash because she isn’t viable. That doesn’t mean shes broken, useless, or that she sucks. There is just more value you can get out of ana or moira as a main healer, but you can also swap one or the other for mercy, and still get the job done. Mercy just has less utility than the others. her ult is sub par but what can u do abt it

[DarkElixir-2124]

I find Overbuff to be a good source of data from a large number of players.

[Pikaras-2659]

it’;s abad idea to give everyone a burst heal just cuz.

If a dps can do 120 with only a bullet, why wouldnt healers do at least 70 hps?
If mcree presses right clic killing a TANK, why healer couldnt save the TANK? in a 2 2 2 comp tanks feel like big bad dps everyday and nothing less.

[R0seThorn-2885]

But she’s not. If you know how to juggle beams and synergize with your second healer and your team as a whole Mercy is just fine. Relax.
