I don’t think it’s ridiculously underpowered but her healing beam does feel awful and super tedious to use.
With the buffs to off supports and other healers the 10 hps overall isn’t really noticeable unless your trying to top off your tanks which takes forever a lot longer now.
But yea valk feels even more useless and boring.
Im expecting people will complain again and get her nerfed yet again >.> well not before claiming shes balanced again before then flipping back to saying shes op again >.>
I fixed that problem by switching jump and rez’s places once I got used to jumping with lt I never had another accidental rez
it forces you to be an even bigger healbot then before
you have less time to shoot or damage boost ,this is probably also a factor why it feels worse

I know, but I hate ruining the consistency between characters by remapping jump… I had to remap interact for some characters, and it does cause issues when you press the wrong button in the heat of battle.
dropping her HPS back to 50HPS means you will need to get good with her again in areas of Healing, usage of Guardian Angel and Team Health Management.
Aside from trying to make the other supports viable, they are trying to recreate a skill floor/ceiling since Mercy lost that with Valkyrie’s release.
Basically trying to force us back into F Tier whilst they stubbornly refuse to admit they screwed up the changes.
Mercy was fine, just Pro’s didn’t play her for the very same reason Mercy has right now…
2016 - Mercy HPS was at 50, she was useless when she was dead, couldn’t survive on her own and died on Res
pre-rework 2017 - Mercy had invulnerable res which was strong but pro league players still refuse to play her since she couldn’t survive on her on, had nothing else to really offer besides just healing and was useless when she was dead as she couldn’t gain ult for resurrect and if she died too often, you may as well be playing as 5v6
post-rework 2017 - Pro league players started running her because her Ult was a Skill freebie and it was ridiculously OP when she can just instant res 4 people.
2018 - Current Mercy can die on res, heal at 50HPS, has a lame ultimate that honestly you don’t have to use and it won’t much difference (I feel like I use it mainly for damage boost and not healing because I am already doing enough in base, to not require the healing aspect of Valk) and of course the inability to survive on her own and being useless when she is dead.

This thread reminds me of Fox News lol
Your post reminds me of someone which is incapable of responding propperly to a big, well written and received thread 
Seriously, why are you even writing stuff in here if you don’t care/don’t want to properly discuss the topic?

I haven’t seen anyone successfully rebuttal this thread/post, I wonder if the devs will ever respond to it. :> What do you guys think they’d say?
Edit, here’s my guess: “Mercy is fine and we disagree with the notion that she is “unfun to play”.” Looool.

Probably just nothing as stubborn as they are, especially with the recent patch.
The balance changes are quite heavy (not Mercy’s nerf. that changes almost nothing apart from making her even more frustrating to play and less polished).
It will take weeks again to see how she lands.
Blizzard gave us their reason as to why mass rez was leaving in 2017. Titaniums teenage angst has yet to disprove the way Blizzard feels about their own character.

Bahaha, sorry hun, but your “Teenage angst” comment is nothing against Titanium’s extremely detailed and well written post. This is not a rebuttal, this is just a sad stretch to try and insult someone.

And the community gave them many, many more reasons why the old Mercy was better and that a lot enjoyed Resurrect Mercy far more.
Suggested tons of ways to fix her and to make her fun again.
And the big amount of positivity and agreement this thread so far received, underlines the fact that Team 4 is wrong about that fact even more.
On top of that… Get a new cassette tape. I already told you that, but really. Get out of that box your in.
His way of arguing is far more mature than yours. I wouldn’t say that, besides the fact that it’s offensive as well.

no no
they will not even address that she is unfun
they will say : her pickrates are fine,she’s still most picked healer,there is nothing wrong!
They cant admit she is not fun.
People NEED healers in a game to win
Mercy is the EASIEST healer for ANYONE to play. And especially at 60 HPS the most solid healer if you solo heal. And there is rez,in a fight with only mild pressure she can stall a point forever. She can also jump to highground if her teammates are there and command the battlefield with ease.
Moira is strong but trickier and in a prolonged fight she will run out of heals.
Ana is hard.
Brigitte,zen and lucio are not main healers.
Conclusion: Only moira is a true alternative to the power of mercy but has a few weaknesses mercy doesnt have.
So Devs talking about pickrates is not relevant,as mercy will always be the most picked healer in all tiers overall.
They will not acknowledge she is unfun,admitting that will be admitting they failed the rework

I don’t think this version will have many mass rezzes with the cast time, coz it would be used when you have teammates alive.

The same revert mercy cult repeating their opinions to the point of spam is not giving Blizzard any reason to change their mind about Mass Rez.
If you guys want to sit here and pretend youre part of a movement for the better then go ahead. Its free speech.
Just dont expect Mass Rez to return. Blizzard does not want it, and that alone carries more weight than any argument presented here.
They’d have to actually read our feedback to change their minds at all.
but they don’t, yet here we still are a year after the rework that was supposedly suppose to balance mercy but made her actually op and boring.
the few responses they have given us have all shown how disconnected they are from us as a whole.

They should be disconnected from people who chose to blatantly ignore their stance on Mercy. They dont want mass rez. They have told us they dont want it, and that they have no plans to revert.
Theres no need for them to respond, once again, saying that they do not want mass rez.
I’m not ignoring their stance they said they don’t want a revert.
I say I want a rework.
I see no issue there.
