that wasn’t my point at all. But if you want to get technical on that, that was when dive co-existed with triple tank because dive didn’t have mercy. Once mercy replaced lucio, she could keep zen alive longer which cemented dive into the meta, for another 5 seasons.
ah okay. I think i understand better now. And of course, it’s not as strong as 60, that’s kind of the point. However it does give many people an extra hit still. Don’t underestimate how much that extra hit can change a fight. a great example would be Ana. Her 3 combo won’t kill somebody if they get even a point of healing between that.
It’s a big reason why doomfist’s slight buff has put him in a much better spot.
This is true, but it should be noted mercy has gained new utility and better survivability since then, with an offensive ult with defensive capabilities. I’m not saying this would change anything because honestly we wont ever know, mercy wasn’t like she is now back then. My point is the game has changed, many hero’s aren’t the way there were then.
Heals per second is not the end all be all of a healer. If it was, Ana would have been a must pick in dive until moira came out. Moira who has by far the best hps, excluding ults, is terrible in high elo. You said it yourself it’s about who you heal and when.
trash damage. Which most of is just feeding the enemy support ult charge. Also moira’s elims are deceiving. If she hits somebody with a tick of damage before they die it counts as an elim for her. She’s very much like d.va in that way.
that’s actually a cool idea. Moira could honestly use some help.
it shouldn’t matter any number of buffs or nerfs. that’s arbitrary. Though I personally don’t agree with some of those support buffs. Ana really didn’t need the buff she got… The only one who really did need a buff was lucio in my opinion.
Well, if Titanium’s pick rate stats are to be believed from mercy pre rework. Mercy is pretty much on par with her pick rate then. If that’s considered healthy, then she should be considered healthy now.
Then i have no idea what the culprit is. If the average in GM only went down 1k, and yours dropped considerably lower, there’s something more at play.
Not so much a problem. Just made an observation of how ridiculous that actually is.
If they’re melting at 50 that quickly, 60 isn’t going to save them either.
I actually love a lot of those ideas for moira. Especially the slow debuff, that would certainly put her in a better spot for specific team comps.
I do see where your coming from about mercy though, and truly I sympathize.
Honestly, I don’t agree, but then again I play in a different elo so I don’t know your personal experience.
From my experience, Ana is truely the high skill high reward hero of the game. You’re right by all accounts, in the wrong hands she’s unreliable. From her basic healing and pick potential and even as far as her abilities, both being different types of skill shots.
The thing about that though, is in the right hands, those skills are undeniably powerful. Sleep, a slow projectile with a slow wind up animation, but when landed, gives the longest cc in the game, and even then a point of damage can mess that up. This is why you’ll see great ana’s call their sleep darts before they make them, giving their team time to know not to shoot.
Then there’s bionade, a slow arced projectile that’s undeniably strong with anti heal when used offensively. But at the same time, it’s also Ana’s only form of self sustain, and even further then that, it’s also ana’s only means of being able to heal roughly in line with the other main healers. It’s probably one of the only abilities that can be used multiple ways and depending on the situation, picking the wrong one can end horribly.

But yeah, I see your point, especially considering lower elo where people just don’t have the kind of game sense or mechanical skill to utilize her kit the fullest.
This is honestly something I’ve been waiting for too. Well, at least just a new support hero in general. I don’t really mind which direction they take them as long as it’s interesting.
