Why I Have Yet to Not Despise Mercy's Current State (Part 2)

nothing?

not at all

it is imo one of the most powerful and arguably the very most versatile ults in the game

given all of is severe limitations, no, it is a very risky cooldown

not remotely as good as an ultimate

this would be admitting that it does do something, as opposed to nothing

A team that has mercy will have no immo abilities though or at max 1

Hey, you get to… fly! and heal for 5 points more! wow!

Meanwhile juno gets to heal (for more) + damage boost + use both effects herself

The only thing Valk has going for it is that it isn’t interruptible and that it lasts long. But you’re still cannibalising your co-support’s ult (likely a much better one) by building it.

Thats true, but sustain has been power crept outside of just immos too.

We had this discussion more than once and I don’t feel like arguing with a person who pretends to be dense on purpose.

No sh*t. the ult does something but it does nothing well.

All true, except for one thing:
Valk doesn’t increase healing by 5 points anymore.

OW wiki said it does increase it from 60 to 65 after her buff a while ago but it doesn’t.

Healing is now always 60 in and out of Valk.

60 hps used to be quite high…years ago. And ult-level heals begin at 100 hps per target.

I see the OG thread was necroed. Maybe thats why this one was made

The old thread reached the cap of 5000 replies. So automatic a new one got created.

nothing of the sort is occurring

Valkyrie is actually a very powerful and very versatile ult that does many things

It absolutely does not do nothing

I suggest you watch some videos on how to best play Mercy in order to learn about it

Mass rez should come back, but it never will. So sad.

There is no place for mass Rez in this game. I never want it in this game again-it was literal ebola.

I used to be a Mercy main until 5 man rez came into the game and noped out. It created braindead strats and slamming my nuts in a car door gave me more pleasure than playing the game in that period. It was a literal no skill strat and completely devoid of any fun in the gameplay.

If it came back I can assure you the brown stuff will hit the fan, and the toxicity to Mercy players will be off the charts.

Keep mass rez where it belongs. In hell.

It’s hilarious that it’s 2025 and Mercy-rework mega threads are still the only things that hit the post limit.

It’s literally the worst thing Blizzard ever did with the Overwatch IP in terms of player backlash. PVE cancellation? 5v5? Brig? All of it pales in comparison.

Prediction: the upcoming “Classic” event will also be far less popular than the last one. People will speculate about why but the real reason is because the first one had OG Mercy.

Kinda funny Marvel Rivals proved a mass rez can be balanced by simply making it a windup, as many, many have suggested.

Guess that was too hard for them to implement?

Almost as if having reliable, “no skill” support, that allows rest of the team to pick literally anything, is desired thing, rather than something to avoid.

As if opinions of “cannon fodder” matter to one, who holds lives of entire team in her hands. Competent players, that don’t require many resurrects, will appreciate having a lot of decoys in form of their allies, who can serve their purpose more, than once per respawn timer.
