While the Mercy players are sorting themselves out:

You know they can work on more than one hero at a time… Mercy mains bought the game just like you did, they also get the right to whine on the forums.

22

although i dont like mercy’s old ult, some people had some amazing rework ideas for it and at least test her out instead of having to keep that rez on E. Some do suggest to just get rid of Rez but knowing how mercy mains wont take that and even jeff said he’d like to keep the ability, then the only solution is to at least try and balance it. well, they kind of have to if they want it keep it.

we just want her balanced just like you do tbh.

23

They’re probably going to “Mercy” him like they did Angela and Symmetra.

How do they “Mercy” a hero you ask? They put the ultimate into a cool-down ability slot; and take a cool-down ability, kind of boost it in some way, and slap that on as the ultimate.

So in the case of Torb, they’ll put Molten Core on E where it will only boost Torb but not his turret, and for his ult he’ll give everybody in a certain range from himself 50 Armor.

Fixed that for you.

It’s almost like Mercy is too powerful, so she gets nerfed.

Two or more houses are on fire.
Does house A burning invalidate house B’s problems?

Depends on whether or not House A’s inhabitants burned some toast while House B’s inhabitants are trying to sift through the ashes to find what isn’t destroyed.

Shame. All we want is for her to be balanced so everyone ends up happy. Not just one side.

Others are bad we know, but Blizzard messed up with her, and needs to fix her.

29

It’s almost like the Mercy players are complaining because they see the hero becming a chore to play because that’s how weak the base kit has to be for rezz and Valk to be balanced. And are wanting either a revert to soemthing that while frustrating was still D tier anywhere Ana was even playable or a rework from the ground up

So Mercy mains want a less viable Mercy, all because she has more buttons to use and therefor a ‘chore’ to play?

I personally wouldn’t mind seeing rez put back as an ult and nerfed a bit (with mini-valk on E maybe), but the ability (rez) as a whole is just silly.

31

i’m fairly certain Mercy has received more nerfs then any other character in this series. (though I don’t have the numbers to back this up so I might be wrong)

Mercy mains “we have been waiting a year”

Bastion mains “we have been waiting a year and a half”

Please remember that we are all victims of Blizzard’s horrible balancing in one way or another. Hanzo mains don’t revel in the fact they are now one of the most hated heroes in the game, neither do Mercy mains. On the other side of the coin Bastion, Sombra, Torb and Sym players have been struggling with f-tier kits for some time now. Caught in between are the characters like McCree, Soldier and Pharah who are okay but need minor improvements to stay competitive.

Perhaps now would be the perfect time to stop segregating ourselves and work together in order to achieve what want?

Someone who gets it. We need to be getting blizzard’s attention on all of these heroes. I dont care where they start but fix your sh!t.

:no_mouth:

I don’t know where you’re going with that so I’ll just put this to you in a simple question

When this newest nerf proves to be ineffective at dethroning Mercy from her neigh must pick status where should the devs go from there, what could they nerf that won’t feel horrible to the player. Screw with the fluid movement that is one of the only reasons people still enjoy her, lower her healing even more?

Any nerf they give to her now will severely hamper how fluid the hero plays and everyone is certain she will need more nerfs, hence the Mercy player outcry for a revert or a rework

Lol what you said is the most bluntly true thing I have ever read on these forums, and you are going to get absolutely shredded for it.

RIP Brother.

Hmm I really wonder what they could have removed from her kit that could have made her more fun to play against?

It’s like this ultimate that made you had another team fight because someone lshifted up to a dead corpse and pressed q.

Oh and they got POTG! Awesome…

I got an idea, maybe they could not make her a main healer since those are clearly not an ideal hero design philosophy and give her more offense for her to do more than healing one person and acting like they’re entitled the whole game.

39

I have no idea what you’re ranting about
A minor cast time would have fixxed the problem of the mass rez entirely, the only problem with it was the lack of counterplay so make it require melee range on a soul and then give it a 1 second cast time boom problem solved
Then give her that E ability to actually buff her now that it’s okay to make her a decent pick that way she can compete against an Ana that hasn’t been gutted.

I think “sorting themselves out” is an appropriate way to put it. Ever see the episode of spongebob where all the inner workings of his brain are just a bunch of him running around in a panic? That about sums it up.
