I wanted to ask what is your opinion on Mercy.
Do you love her? Hate her?
Do you want to improve or remove her?
Remove an ability?
What are your thoughts?

Moira is goddess ? then Mercy is deity 
though didnt stop Nerfzard
.1% of playerbase keeps getting her nerfed. She’s going to be meta when Ashe hits comp.

Her skill ceiling is incredibly low (lower than before her rework) which makes her incredibly boring (for me) to play. From a power perspective I don’t have much to say, but I quit playing Overwatch because playing Mercy did not feel rewarding (for me) anymore, and it wasn’t worth the insults and threats you got from your team-members anymore (I was a Mercy one-trick which apparently meant I was not worthy of living and breathing and deserved to be banned from playing Overwatch regardless of how skilled I was).
I personally think they need to remove rez entirely and replace both her ultimate and her e-ability with something that makes her kit flow and be more engaging than it currently is. However, this will never happen. Blizzard will never do any changes beyond number tweaking to Mercy again, so it’s rather pointless to suggest any significant changes.

Unfun to play because valkyrie is an anemic low impact ultimate and i hate The slowdown of res. It disturbs the flow of mercy.

She’s fine.
Just buff her base healing to 55 and tweak some stuff on valk, but tbh I rather wait till Ash drops and judge from there.
In terms of Mercy the hero, I think she’s slightly undertuned and could do with a SMALL buff to her HPS.
In terms of forum Mercys, finding one that is openminded and willing to engage in a logic based debate (rather than a condescending, emotion-based one) is as rare as finding a unicorn. Roadhogs will fly before that day happens. I joined the forums knowing nothing about the forum community, and the mercy community – particularly a choice few – have really put me off trying to think of and post constructive feedback on a hero rework for her. The entitlement and complaining from the mercy community is reaching threat level midnight.

Her kit is watered down dramatically in order to keep her rez on e. I doubt they’re going to fix it so I don’t play her anymore .
Blizz doesn’t need to make her what I think she should/could be. It’s okay to out grow her and honestly… I’m bored of making suggestions AND of reading suggestions.

I say, remove rez and give her a burst healing ability to replace it
or maybe ablilty to cleance target out of cc ?
She’s not in a great place, unfortunately. I have fun with her, but I’d like it better if we could get Res replaced with a better E ability.
Low-impact healing plus slow-casting res honestly feels p bad in a game presently defined by all the barriers and all the burst.

Boring core kit. Always has been. Losing mass res highlighted that
Game is better without mas res.
Devs were passing good peace pipe around when they thought valk as released to the ptr was a good idea.
Pipe was still burning when they released the live version.
Obviously withdrawal from said good stuff inhibited their capacity to deal with their monstrosity in anything resembling a timely manner- resulting in last i checked 14 consecutive nerfs over way too long of a period because they never were willing to go far enough quickly enough after such a debacle.
Result is a (understandably) salty fanbase who kept having the bandaid sloooowly pulled off.
Balance wise- mercy isnt anyhwere near as bad as i feel some make her out to be- but i imagine after 14 nerfs itd be hard to not be jaded at all. Still boring
Definitely dont hate her.
Absolutely love anyone willing to play her and am thankful when they do.
Actually like having mercy on my team.
Am concerned when red team has a good one.
Understand why many would find her unfun. Agree she needs something to apease her players. Disagree that mass res is what if should be.
Pretty much all my feelings on mercy.

Everyone says this, but can´t you just kill them all with… Mcree ult
since they are immobile when resurrected, he can kill them easily
Reaper, D.va, Junkrat and Soldier also works
and if they got killed again guess who they blamed, well me because I choosed to rez them

Neutral opinion on her as a hero. I’ve one-tricked her, then mained her, then started only playing her if I had to or was/am lazy (I’ve moved on long before her changes).
Only thing I dislike is resurrect and the fact she gets treated like the only support that needs attention. But that’s more to do with the community than her as a hero.
Love the character, hate what Team 4 has done to her.
Improve. Removal is for weak-minded fools.
Valkyrie is a dead end and therefore has to go. It was bad in alpha and is bad now. E-Rez was bad in internal testing (“felt like a second ultimate”, as explained by Blizzard in late 2017) and is bad now. By Blizzard’s own admission, Mercy’s current kit is literally an amalgamation of failed ideas. No clue why they ever went with it.

you are right, Mercy is the most complained hero, because she could resurresct the dead ?
like you can kill them again, also how is resurrecting more powerfull than killing ?

Invulnerability frames. And if you were to take the invulnerability frames away the Mercy players would be the ones screaming to have mass rez removed, as they’d often times get zero value out of it, for reasons you’ve mentioned.
funny thing is that this always happened when I managed to rez 3 or more people
you got mail “OMG MERCY YOU ARE SO BAD”
like I can actually make enemy stop killing you, right ?
I have probably belonged to the group you are referring to. I can tell you what I think created this mentality, and point out current obstacles for having logic based debates.
So, people have been complaining about Mercy no longer being fun since the rework over a year ago. My first post on the topic was made in November of 2017, when Mercy was still a must-pick hero (I have the forum post to prove it on the old forums). Despite there being threads with thousands of posts on this topic the “Mercy is no longer fun” discussion is almost always met with “You just want her to be overpowered and a must-pick” or “Fun is subjective and you are just being selfish and entitled”. Considering people were complaining about it while she was still a must-pick means that the first statement isn’t true for everyone (might be for some). The “fun is subjective” argument I get, however, everyone play games to have fun and I think it’s ok to wish and be verbal about it when it stops being fun due to changes. Of course we should work for a solution that is fun for as many people as possible, and I think maybe that means neither Mercy 1.x or Mercy 2.x is the right way to go and perhaps Mercy 3.x will please more people, except Mercy 3.x will never exist. Anyways, on the old forums you would see fewer emotional outbursts and more logic based discussions, but many unhappy Mercy players (former or current) have just been worn down and have come to accept that the community hates (this is the perceived feeling and may not be an accurate representation of the community) them regardless of how they approach their passion.
I think the reason why it is impossible to have logic based discussions anymore is not so much because Mercy players aren’t willing to have logic based discussions, but because any attempt to have logic based discussion is interrupted by people saying things like “You’re just entitled” , or “You just want her to be a must-pick again” , or “Fun is subjective”. There are so many haters (on both sides) so people end up on the defensive. Productive discussions derail extremely quickly and become more about mutual hate than about constructive suggestions.
