Why I Have Yet to Not Despise Mercy's Current State (Part 1)

Just because she enable DPS, doesn’t mean she should be a useless healer to the tanks.

I never said anything to that effect. I personally don’t consider her useless when it comes to tanks.

@enferreine-1976

Like, maybe if it was based softly on percentage so that the bigger the health pool meant she could get a slightly higher boost to healing, it would feel a little less bad healing tanks.

Yeah but like at the same time I don’t see much reason for her to be that effective with tanks. We have Moira for that. Ana is also, obviously, strong af with tanks. The strongest. Moira is great for the vast majority of the community, but is pretty much irrelevant in higher tiers/coordinated settings.

I don’t see why Mercy needs help when it comes to her ability to support tanks.

@enferreine-1976

Basically, peeling should be necessary.
But Mercy should be able to provide someone:
a) Be able to help someone peel.
b) The ability to have someone return to the fight fairly quickly after peeling.

She does provide that. She can help someone peel, she can bring someone back from the dead… Like wtf?

@enferreine-1976

The thing is, people don’t have to peel very long for Ana or Moira, but they do for Mercy.

Mercy literally bunnyhop super jump GAs off into orbit and then flutters around the field with crazy mobility. At least good ones do. Mercy doesn’t need much peel at all. Not like Zen or Ana.
