Watching most supports, Mercy is the only support heavily lacking dmg.
She should be reworked to be able to dish out as much dmg as any other support.

Left click dps shows that it’s not the size of the boat, it’s the motion in the ocean. Mercy’s dps is low because she is super busy doing other things, while Moira’s is high because she needs to do it for healing recharge.
Go tell Widowmaker in my earlier match, who I killed 4x with Mercy, if the doctors needs more damage potential.

| Kiriko | 73 |

I think the devs probably aren’t going to do anything to Mercy any time in the next 6 months, except maybe change the GA cooldown in trade for some sort of survival nerf. Maybe a token 25% damage boost nerf not really for balance reasons but for streamer brownie points.
ahem
right click
ty
I said left click 21c
Easy, revert all changes from February 7th and she will fight 1v1 with ball and win
You’re not factoring reload, which knocks Mercy down to 78 dps.
Only after her healing is nerfed down to match the healing of any other support.

Remove gun, make damage boost beam damage anyone it intersects and slightly reduce damage buff, and damage enemies outright moira style if no allies are around, give her 25 more health. Thats my mercy solution
Her healing is actually still pretty subpar, she’s just like Ball in that she never dies and thus farms stats really well
I read this above, it’s likely correct. DESPITE this. I’m gonna ask a question that I’m convinced will get you going for no reason other than you thinking I’m not seeing that Mercy’s “hit” dmg is 3rd place. “HIT” dmg. Not Average dps across heroes.
The question is… How in the freakin heck is this relevant at all… To what I said.
Yea I know, i mess up Widowmakers aswell. Stationary hero with both low mobility and VERY predictable zipline.
You know I’ve been thinking of an improvement to Merc.
Pistol left-handed (Left - Click)
Staff right-handed (Right-Click and alternate with each click)
Additionally
Nerf damage boost effectiveness by 5-10%
Buff GA with 1 sec so that it’s 2 sec and not 3 sec CD.
Additionally
Maybe change her Staff into a Wand to make it look reasonable OR… Keep staff look but make that dual wield look nice.
There, atleast some constructive suggestions however good or bad it may be.

But does she do less damage because she’s not every other support? (you know, working as intended)
She used to be able to dive reliably with her ult, and they nerfed that. So, maybe she’s just not allowed to be one of the 6 offensive supports. Phooey.

Bet not at all, because you prob miss all the shots
Not sure what you mean. I get that you’re trying to be passive aggressive but did u understand what i said?
Supports have better burst damage than a lot of DPS heroes. It doesn’t make a lot of sense.

I agree, but because I don’t expect them to nerf Support damages, I’m asking to atleast buff up Mercy’s combat capability to be on par with the others in a overall sense.
I like having non-damage-oriented supports. Plus, with the buffs in the past few months, Mercy can actually get good value from her pistol.
Then she would need to be gutted mobility wise. You can’t have strong support with great mobility AND damage.
