Suggestions for Mercy from someone with too much time on her šŸ“

I SAID THAT TOO!!!
I know sheā€™s not getting reverted which is why Iā€™m trying to find solutions to the problems people have with this heroes that have buffs and nerfs mixxed together, nerfing the passive parts and buffing the active parts of the kit.

how aboutā€¦ no instant regen 10 second valk and 1 instant rez hmm?

Lol that will just make her super under powered.

Ehh not really. 1 instant rez is super strong.

I think my head hit Mercyā€™s skill ceiling too many times to understand what you are trying to say. Her ultimate would be weaker to account for an instant Resurrect? Why? They should be looking at her whole kit and rearrange it.

Iā€™ll just requote myself because thatā€™s the fix to raise her skill ceiling much higher than 1.0 while retaining Valkyrieā€™s effectiveness in making Mercy more versatile.

Surprised this hasnā€™t been sent to the megathread like all feedback. And i just jinxed it.

Hah i beat you to it. Blizzard and feedback dont get along.

YES absolutely, all of this is worth consideration. The OBSCENELY LONG cast time on her res now is honestly the part that feels the worst to me - itā€™s more of a handicap than an ability, and makes me feel like Iā€™m stuck in goo in the midst of battle, itā€™s why I have basically stopped picking her - and this was the hero I started on and still love so much. I hope the OW team will at least consider some of these changes :sob:

butā€¦ w h o w o u l d t o r t u r e t h e m s e l v e s b y p l a y i n g m e r c y ? : )

Itā€™s objectively not. It has the second highest ult winrate only after Sound Barrier.

When a streamer thinks of a better rework than the actual balance team.

Actually Iā€™m pretty sure itā€™s sound barrier, trans, nano then valk in OWL but Moiras ult charges a lot faster than all support ults and brigettes ult might be the new trans because itā€™s like a sound barrier overtime with armour you can keep

Iā€™d like to see happen to Valk:

  • duration shortened to 10 seconds
  • 3 instant (zero cast time, no slow) rezzes like current single-target E rez (5m radius, CC and stun interruptible) achieved by pressing Q additional times during ult
  • chained beams removed
  • healing beam output increased 150%

New E ability:
10 - 15 second cool-down, 3-5 second duration
Either current Valk chain beams - or -
Combined beams (100%/50%) - LMB 100% heals (60), 50% Damage-boost (15); RMB 100% Damage-boost (30), 50% heals (30)

This puts her rez back as an earned ability (and locked behind her ult), but also gives plenty of counterplay that was allegedly missing from Mass-Rez. Maintains her mobility by getting rid of the molasses ā€œsuicide buttonā€ rez. And by boosting her healing ability while ulting helps her live up to her voiceline of ā€œHeroes never dieā€.

Wow! A Mercy balance post that doesnā€™t whine and ask to Revert her! Yay!

Hey EeveeA. Nice to see you are back on the forums, but sadly cause of the Mercy issue that is still around. I hope the devs at least glance at this.

False: http://winstonslab.com/heroes/?onlyLANs=on&dateGreater=2018-02-18&dateSmaller=2018-03-25&event%5B%5D=&team%5B%5D=&time=0&maptype=&map=&roundtype=&statsBy=1&heroes=Ana|Mercy|Moira|Lucio|Zenyatta

There is a difference between a Revert and another Rework though. :thinking:

If we put Resurrect on a charged meter like OP suggested wouldnā€™t that just reinforce everyoneā€™s idea that Resurrect needs to be earned again which brings us back to her initial form of having to earn Resurrect through healing/DMB.

Wouldnā€™t be a Revert it would be another Rework. Putting Resurrect back to a charged meter that will separate Mercy tiers once again and open up flexibility through the uses of Valkyrie as an E ability which can be frequently used which I would personally want more.

Those arenā€™t ult winrates.

But EeveeA doesnā€™t want rez as an ult nor does she want mass rez back, she just wants single rez ability, but earned. So yes, it isnā€™t a revert. Revert refers to bringing back mass rez.
