When Mercy players realize that

@Night-2358

Can we end this because there’s no point at all?

sure thing!

@Night-2358

Which potential exactly with 5% pick rate?

that’s exactly the point! neither mercy or moira shine where being able to shine matters the most
i feel like we’re just very angrily agreeing with each other

@Night-2358

there’s so much spam about Mercy,

there’s a lot of spam because people are upset with her current state!

@Night-2358

the main problem in every discussion is that the players ask to increase her cap, but at the same time not to lose her identity. Fun fact, the lack of mechanical skills defines Mercy as a hero and it’s almost impossible to apply those contradictory requests, because somebody will remain unhappy.

mercy’s identity and play style stay the same if they don’t change her staff and GA they can do whatever they want with the rest of her kit
also mercy is known for requiring situational awareness and game sense why not just give her abilities that reward those things?

@Night-2358

Also, I have never seen so much passion for other heroes who have boring/stupid/useless abilities. Mercy’s rework starts to become an obsession in this community and it has left the boundaries of common request. See widowmaker’s mine; perhaps it’s the worst ability in game in terms of impact and power. There’s no other skill in the game that even if it is completely removed, the hero will remain at the same tier. Yet, there are threads about widow, reaper, bastion, sombra but never to this extend.

well mercy is a more popular hero compared to widow reaper bastion or sombra
and again people are free to express themselves whether it is to your liking or not!

@Night-2358

I don’t know if something changed lately but since recently Mercy mega thread was by far the longest in these forums, to an extend that you need to combine multiple megathreads for other heroes to come even close.

people are a lot more vocal when they are upset about a situation! especially if they think they are being ignored / the situation isn’t going to change

@Night-2358

If they are 10 out of 10,000, they are non existent. Every single Mercy here has a unique vision for future Mercy. So, if the community hasn’t really decided of what it wants, how can blizzard?

we are not game designers, they are! that’s how!
also the devs have told us in the past that if something’s wrong with the game we should tell them what’s wrong and don’t tell them how to fix it!
here are the problems that most mercy mains agree that she has

@Megadodo-11847

• I would prefer that rez be removed from Mercy altogether
• I dont like my movement being slowed when using Mercy’s cooldown ability
• I dont find Valkyrie to be engaging enough, it is spectator mode for me
• I want Mercy to have some form of burst healing
• I want Mercy to be able to heal someone at a much higher rate (higher than the current 60) when in Valkyrie mode

@Megadodo-11847

Minty: those are 5 of the most common complaints, but I would say the absence of Mass rez is the most common…

@Night-2358

It merges in “E” as a buff. If the target doesn’t receive fatal damage it has decreased cd. The main reason for that is to give more space to Mercy to play with the blaster and do damage. Also, she can use the damage increase/antideath buff to her allies on ground while she plays around Pharah.

i don’t how how it’d change mercy because i have’t played this version of mercy but i like the fact that there are two sides to it and it requires some foresight

@Night-2358

The concept of increased acceleration is to give her freedom of movement beyond the space around the targets she can leap and get better positioning for the piercing beam. Also, she will go higher in Pharmercy giving some free time to play with her blaster instead of pointing pharah all the time.

so kinda like superjump but in whichever direction she wants?
i think that’s a bit too much mobility
