Why don't we have 3 RAW heroes, 1 in every role?

lolwut

In Game, Mercy is the only pure healer who doesn’t actively contribute damage and spends all of the match supporting her team. Her abilities are all team based as well, she can fly to allies to aid them and she is focused on healing and empowering them. Moira literally is incentivized to be outputting damage half of the game.

“Mercy’s Valkyrie Suit helps keep her close to teammates like a guardian angel; healing, resurrecting or strengthening them with the beams emanating from her Caduceus Staff.”

“Moira’s biotic abilities enable her to contribute healing or damage in any crisis. While Biotic Grasp gives Moira short-range options, her Biotic Orbs contribute longer-range, hands-off damage and healing; she can also Fade to escape groups or remain close to allies in need of support”

In Lore, Mercy is literally the world’s best doctor who singlehandedly invented the nanobots that revolutionized medicine technology and she’s dedicated her life to helping others, healing the less fortunate, etc. even after OW disbanded. She’s also opposed to their militaristic approach and actions. Meanwhile Moira was literally kicked out of OW for her morally gray experiments, she turns people into monstrous super soliders like Reaper, and she invented some type of bullets that infect the skin to prevent people from being able to heal as seen in the Bastest short story.

"A guardian angel to those who come under her care, Dr. Angela Ziegler is a peerless healer, a brilliant scientist, and a staunch advocate for peace.

Ziegler rose to become the head of surgery at a prominent Swiss hospital before pioneering a breakthrough in the field of applied nanobiology that radically improved the treatment of life-threatening illnesses and injuries.

Though she spends most of her time caring for the broken and dispossessed in crisis areas around the world, Dr. Ziegler can be counted on to don her Valkyrie suit whenever innocents are imperiled."

I get you like have a weird anti-Mercy hatred but this argument is just silly rofl

No one would use.

We have a similar hero, and she’s called brig.

We already have heroes who are similar to this. People aren’t going to play a character that can ONLY shield, but the few who might like something like that can just play Rein and not use his hammer.

Isn’t the same as healing and she had a chonky pistol

Yet her lore shows that she isn’t all that when it comes to meaningful change for the world or herself.

I don’t like mercy because of history and themes. Including your perception of her

And I like how you keep tabs about where I say I don’t like her but ignore where I do

Moreover, that’s Mercy’s history in overwatch as a game…I favor Moira as a healer also based In Part of that is how history has been in game and in irl history and themes.

But I haven’t posted that thread yet
