Mercy was balanced before because she was hands down the best healer in healing and survivability, but that was all she did well. She had no utility, she couldn’t deal damage while healing, etc. That’s not the case anymore. She has one of the best utility skills in the game now on top of being the best healer. They took away one of her weaknesses when they reworked her. That’s the problem.

I know you’re on the homie Mercy, I’mma let u finish. But Mercy has been the most balanced state she’s been in of all time. Of all time.
Unless you talkin bout before the rework, you can’t sit in this thread with the homies and say Mercy now is more a must pick now than she was during the Mercy-Moth meta. Hit me up with that response homie
Yeah, and that’s a good point. Definitely not disagreeing with you. Maybe I have some biases because Ana is my girl, regardless of Mercy getting a potential nerf, still needs a buff. I still feel like her high-skill/high-reward still can’t combat with Mercy’s rewards, and still wouldn’t be able to after a Mercy nerf.
Truth, so lemme ask the salty I mean, the homies hatin on Mercy
How do we knock her down like y’all saying? Y’all asking for a revert then? Cuz y’all know they ain’t removin res right?
Only in Gm was she not the most played support, this is from near the end of season 5. Totally agree that with a full dive comp, lucio and zen were better than mercy. But that has still never stopped mercy being the most played healer. No matter how weak, or how strong, tons of people always want to play her. Also during this time period mercy got more sr and lose less than other heroes, mercy 1 tricks in gm and top500 had under 50% win rates. I just dont like when people who dont like mercy, are forced to play her for their best chance at winning, aka the last 9 months, before that other supports were better choices if skilled enough.

I actually agree with you in there. Mercy definitely needs work. But even if that happens, Ana and Lucio have balance problems on their own due to powercreep that need to be addressed separately from the Mercy issue.

it’s more than the meta changing, the Mercy rework was received with quite a bit of backlash, on her first iteration people claimed Mercy was dead when in reality it was the most broken state she could have ever been, after people realized this and her pick rate started to sky rocket, Blizzard decided to nerf her slowly so people and pros decided to give it a while before they invested on Mercy again
Things have settled now and even though the nerfs were blunt she is still one of the strongest supports and probably needs even more balancing in order to keep her in line with the rest of the roster, this goes to show you how odd the community behaves and how misinformation can mold pick rates

I mean, it ain’t mercy’s fault she got those t h i c c heals. The rest of ya’ll healers need to step up and be more attractive in the viable category, real talk (I know dem werdz may hurt, but it’s only cuz I love ya like the air I breathe).
I don’t like people hitting up that Mercy every match either, but I ain’t gonna lie to ya’ll and say that she’s the only hero people insta-lock, when I see Genji’s and Tracers in every match at all ranks. Nah fam, it’s petty to the etty like a yeti on the tellie. We need to give those other supports some love (the homie Ana) before we give all our attention to Mercy again. She’s used and abused - She’s had enough fam.
Yeah Mercy is not the problem, the other supports are.
Lucio, Now that the area of healing is smaller, its difficult to heal people because we need to be spread out to not get RipTired or worst, also the amp it up take so long and with heroes having 400 to 600 HP you take forever to heal them at max capacity, enter Mercy.
Moira Good Healing mostly used as DPS, people rather trow the purple ball than the gold one, she has to recharge the healing after a while, she can heal several targets but people move a lot and by the time you end oopss you need to recharge so go kill again, so then enter Mercy.
Ana, she need to aim no problem for big tanks but that jumping Genji or blinkin Tracer?, the alchemist healing doesn’t even reach 200, also take a long time to heal, also people rather shoot to see if they can get that elusive PoTG and finally see the Highlight enter mercy again.
Zennatta another case of DPS healer, he is most effective attacking, his heal takes forever, just like Lucio but can only heal one at a time so guess what enter Mercy again.
Brigitte she only heals…surprise surprise also attacking, people use the armor sometimes, some people dont even know it heals. SO you will need a Mercy once again.
My point in this is mercy can solo heal, while the other are half assed at their job, they have nerfed their healing all to the extreme, so basically is not mercys fault that she is the best healer.

People won’t ever stop complaining until Mercy goes back to being a troll pick, next up the weather.

It’s hot as hell outside. Back to you johnny.
Joe is a man of truth, tellin’ it like it is. I agree bro. Imagine how this meta would change if any of the other healers can do a better job at solo healing. Jesus fruggin crust. That would be lit.

Not to mention Moira just got that nice nerf–I mean fix to her ability to heal through barriers. With that out the door, Mercy is now the only main healer who can consistently heal through barriers with no cooldowns to worry about.
And the players playing Moira for DPS are playing her wrong, and that’s just frustrating. It’s really no different than someone trying to play Ana just for the DPS.
Do those mercy pickrates look right to you?

You know pickrates don’t automatically mean a homie is OP right? Rein has the highest pickrate in tanks and he’s pretty much trash this meta. lmao.

the problem is that they do use her wrong and they know that but ohh that sweet gold medal for kills.
Technically everyone on the team can get a gold medal in kills if every single person just tries to get 1 damage on every enemy that dies. People forget that, lol.
You know doge meme’s don’t change raw facts, right?

Im unsure what youre saying, people being kinda forced into playing mercy if they wanna have the best chance of winning, use her gun a lot? Not sure whats going on.
