Came back to play Mercy in her moth meta, what a joke.
No superjump, no instant cast, they speed up the rez animation and removed the movement speed penalty, and for some reason she feels slower in Valk, when back then she was faster when used her ult… indie company btw. I can’t take this game and dev team seriously anymore.
This was her in her Moth meta on release:

Btw this is the 19th of september 2017 patch notes for Mercy:
Resurrect (formerly Mercy’s Ultimate ability)
- Ability now targets a single player, instead of every player within a radius
- Radius reduced to 5 meters
- Ability cooldown is 30 seconds
- Mercy is no longer granted invulnerability while Resurrect is active
Valkyrie (New Ultimate Ability)
- Valkyrie unleashes the full power of Mercy’s Valkyrie suit, enhancing her weapons and abilities for 20 seconds
- Caduceus Staff: Mercy’s healing and damage boost beams now affect all allies near the targeted teammate, and the staff’s effective range has been extended
- Caduceus Blaster: Now has infinite ammo and increased projectile speed
- Guardian Angel: Increased range and movement speed
- Resurrect: Cooldown is instantly reset when Valkyrie is activated and reduced to 10s after the initial cast
- Hover: Mercy gains the ability to fly freely, at increased movement speed
- Regeneration (Passive): No longer interrupted when Mercy takes damage

So that video posted is actually from the PTR, prior to later PTR changes.
FWIW, Mercy would see several buffs to Guardian Angel well after these changes in the moth-meta. Despite what you might think, Guardian Angel and Mercy, did receive several buffs well after the moth-meta.

The fact is that Mercy didnt play like this, this isn’t moth meta, this is a foggy memory of it at best.

So it’s not just me then? I remembered it being faster. It’s not like they don’t have the code for instant res because they made it for the first classic.

It was instant cast, this is just another indie company moment.

All i wanted was to play the old GA techs again… sadge
Yeah. Surprisingly I haven’t seen that much of Mercy. It’s just Doomfist and Widowmaker every match. 
And a reminder of why I never want either of them in my games lmao

I haven’t seen too much widow. Doom on the other hand, in the 30ish games I did, he was on both teams the majority. I think 3-4 didn’t have an enemy doom at any point during the match.
I figured. I’m…reminded why I never want him back to DPS. 
Like, truly. I played around 10 games and I think I’m good on that mode for…forever.

tbf in the right hands mercy can actually be the best sustaining support in classic, followed by Ana, every other support is… not good at healing, especially one that cannot heal at all

I rather have a Support that heals yet dps and doesn’t pocket heal the useless dps/tank they are duoing with
Yeh, my dps doom got INSTANT locked, so I chose mercy since the team didnt have a supp yet and we won and I had like 3 deaths, 7-10k healing
Congrats I can get that on Moira sleeping.
um? you do know were talking about Classic: Moth Meta right?.. It’s in the name of this forum post? Moira isn’t in this patch so not sure why you’re toxic about it?
