They don’t know what to do about supports. They are pretty clueless when it comes to balance atm.

It’s almost like support characters aren’t as good in a duel as DPS.
It’s almost like every time a support has been good at dueling in the past, DPS players complain until they get nerfed.
Why would a support player purposely put themselves into a position in which they’re at a disadvantage?

And when support is too mobile, there are complaints, that it’s too difficult to catch them.

Yes, battle mercy is back all we needed was those 5 extra bullets
If they really wanted mercy to take duels they give us a separate sens for her staff n pistol. My current dpi is 1500 with a in game sense of 6, all my other heroes have a sens of like 2…who am I hitting with my mercy sens…? The air, I literally kill people faster by doing fly bys on them
I dont want an in sane buff, im. Not asking for more heals nor dmg boost nor tweaks to rez.
I want more time b4 her beam disconnects when she los. Not a big on, but a small fraction of a second so i can swing around the wall.
I also want a septsens for staff n pistol ciz if u buff the dps, dont keep it sh*tty
…sounds like that’s more a fundamental design issue than a balance issue by that logic…? 
Spoken like an atypical mercy one trick
I think some people think people want it gigabuffed?
I think mostly people just want the role to be more fun, not buffed. It wouldn’t even help. It would just make it more important to target them first, and the role even less fun.

Maybe Blizzard expects players to finally start protecting their supports?

In which case, they will have to wait for hell to freeze over.

I mean, they’ve had months to do so and have promised more frequent balance changes than OW had. I do agree they need time and they’ve even stated on Twitter that some heroes, like Brig and Ball, are getting more intense reworks that require more time (art, VFX, audio, etc.), so I understand those heroes require some more tinkering; however, the problem is many of the buffs needed for Supports are just number adjustments, but they’ve gone in a completely wrong direction after promising to help the Support role for S2. It now feels like they gave us a bandaid and then buffed some great backline killers (Tracer, Doom, etc.) to where we are even in a more rough spot.

You guys have phones, right? You want devs who understand the game and patch accordingly? JUST PAY US THE DAMN MONEY!

What??? Had to do a double take on this quote. Her original intended role is to be a main healer, not a flying TF2 dispenser accessory behind a DPS who has all the impact and gun. Back in the day when Mercy was good and popular, you would get shunned if you pocketed and didnt prioritize healing. Mercy obv cant do this very well anymore, especially compared to the other healers, so its no wonder that pocketing exists, but to say this was the original playstyle is ridiculous, imo, Ill never accept that, especially after playing this hero since the OW1 beta.
No, Mercy is a through and through main healer (advertised as such in game, and in the lore) who USED to have a playstyle called “juggling” that separated the wheat from the chaff with good and bad mercy players, this is what we should return to, not continuing to condone the boring and unimpactful Right Click + Shift. Play zen if you want constant dmg boost, at least youre more useful to your team then.

Take in mind by pocketing I mean to both heal and boost when Its needed. But, how being a flying dispensor? This isnt so different of just healing, the point is that promoting her to use her gun instead of buffing her staff (so she can be a main healer again) is not the fix she needs.
And the buff itself is also useless anyway.
One in three kunais being a headshot is a lot. Also accuracy is pretty meaningless if you’re spamming Kunais all the time which you should be.
Has any mercy main ever seen the bottom lf your first clip of pistol ammo before dying?
