What would you say if the Dev’s changed Mercy and removed single rez and reworked Valk?
a lack of burst healing has nothing to do with mercy’s place in the meta

i don’t know about dodo but i’d say… damn they actually did it
Mercy isn’t terrible and excluding the fun aspect of it I’d say she’s the most balanced. In saying that, the rest of the support roster is relatively overtuned, bloated or otherwise broken (excluding Moira, she’s balanced out by having no utility).
It’s similar to McCree or Soldier in the dps roster. They clearly are balanced, maybe a little undertuned but they’re always going to look terrible because the rest of the roster is overtuned.

Mercy could use a small buff, but she is fine in Gold. Frankly she is stronger than Ana there, so many Anas in Gold just can’t aim yet insist on playing her because she is meta.
She is balanced, They balanced her kit however they nerfed her healing way too much. 60h/ps would make her a perfect support.
You’re partially right.
Jeff said you need AOE healing or awesome throughput to be a healer.
Mercy isn’t a healer.
Mercy is going to be good once all these changes happen. Lot of DPS buffs and support nerfs which are all good for her

That’s a part of the problem on the whole of OW.
Sustain should go all of it sustained damage and sustained healing, because innately “sustained” abilities lack in gameplay interest i.e. they are bad design.
If so then good for not good reasons. Sustained healing and damage are poor design choices since they reduce the player controlled viability since there is no viability in the ability’s nature therefore these sustain abilities are lacking in interest.

That why you have a rez
Rez should go… (some extra characters)
And Rez lacks in interest as well.
Mercy isn;t going to be the hiesght ouput healer ever again she is too easy to play and breaks the game
She breaks the game because the design is a problem. All of what you mention point to this.
And she is not the only one.
She breask the game because you can’t scale a auto aim hero from bronze to GM.
If she has the best healing there is no reason to play abother output hero cause
Would just like to point out that Mercy sees more play than Ana in OWL
And almost 5 times as much playtime as Moira
:c
Probably because reliable sustain is more certain than what Ana or Moira offer.
Which plugs right back into the issue having “sustained” healing or damage.
Auto Aim isn’t the main issue its the consistency of the healing provided, make it varied, make it limited by a resource and then it will be more interesting and more balanced in a way that is more engaging.
well i guess keep waiting for your rework. I am sure it comming soon
mercy is great when you’re not support main and sometimes flex. And then also play her in active mode constantly switching between teammates, boosting them, res is broken op, valk is versatile ult with different uses
But if you’re playing her like pocketing healbot then yes, she sucks
