Of course the devs addressed this by lowering the hps off her staff.
But why then is she still outhealing supports who have AOE healing and burst healing abilities?
Its the sole fact that she remains alive for much longer than them and can pump out constant single target healing with her mobility acting as a bridge to be constantly tethered to allies while always maintaining safety by being tethered to allies who are aggressive.
The other suppots can be picked off or pulled away from their allies and team with certain abilities and have to wait on cooldowns that last several times longer than Mercy’s 1.5 GA ability that also has two casts on it.
They do break the Code of Conduct which states, in the list of things you shouldn’t do :
Creating threads for the sole purpose of causing unrest on the forums
Making non-constructive posts
Creating threads about existing topics
Take 10s to search “Mercy broken” and you’ll see how many topics there are that say what OP is saying. Before creating a topic, you should search and see if it doesn’t already exist, and if OP had done that, they’ll have found answers to each of their points before they even made their post.
Agree with this. I don’t understand how there’s a ridiculous number of ana threads with a decent amount of comments. It should just a be a couple with a huge amount of comments.
That would be more engaging and eye catching, imo. Instead of having to sort through which OP has valid opinions and which are just flaming idiotically.
hey, as a mercy main, im sorry this got flagged. people are sensitive, and i really hope you dont get suspended over this
but not all of this is true. 3-6 are wrong, but i agree with 1-2.
you can very much kill mercys team, her healing is not even close to crazy. 55 hps is and has been fine ever since it got buffed in 2020. Valkyrie’s healing is also not at all crazy, 60 hps for 15 seconds is perfectly fine. it cant outheal everything, and why are you even complaining about it if it does? its literally an ultimate ability, its supposed to be impactful.
damage boost is her only way of inputting damage into a match as her own pistol is too crappy to even do it. it recently got nerfed from 30% to 25% and people stopped complaining. if you wanna nerf it further, than allow it to damage boost already thrown out projectiles like firestrike or biotic orb. but just nerfing it without buffing it again will just make her become underpowered
saying valkyrie is boring is subjective, though i agree kindaish. its fun to fly around but besides that, the only offensive thing she can use with it is to glock somebody or just team-wide damage boost. valkyrie should have a shorter duration but be more powerful, because 15 is still too long.
why the hell are you complaining about the glock? the glock was given to her so she can actually defend hersekf. if you take that away, the only way to deal actual damage is to melee. come on bro be frl
this i agree with and always have. as a mercy main, resurrect does not and never will fit into being a basekit Ability 2. its unhealthy for the hero and the game, because its a literal ultimate on cooldown. it removes fluidity throughout mercys kit because it basically self-stuns her for 1.75 seconds, and it also is a big reason why pocketting sucks to go against.
resurrect needs to be earnable, whether its by making it her ultimate again OR give mercy a new E ability out of valkyrie, but have that ability be replaced with rez the moment you enter valkyrie.
GA is broken, and has been since season 1. GA being reworked into this omni-directional mess we have now along with letting you superjump whenever is absolutely unhealthy. it basically has to be nerfed because its overpowered, but nerfing its cooldown removes the fluidity in mercys kit. its a lose-lose situation for current GA to be kept in the game, which is why i’ve been praying that we can get a full revert of guardian angel back to how it worked in OW1 (including the cooldown being reverted to a pure 1.5s).
current GA cannot be properly balanced, and its more funner to use because its quite literally overpowered. but right now its unfun for both sides because it feels terrible to use as the mercy player, but the literal issue hasn’t been fixed/addressed so the other side still sees no change in it. admit the GA rework was a mistake, and revert it. thats the best choice to do for the health of the character and game.
its also incredibly mind-numbing to use and go against. its so simplified and boring to use now its terrible. also its a buggy mess right now in OW2 so another reason why this rework sucks.
For some reason I feel like if this post was about Ana it wouldn’t have gotten flagged. More proof that these forums aren’t moderated by real people and anyone can get flagged and silenced for absolutely no reason.
I can’t talk for OW1-era forum, but since the launch of OW2, I’ve not seen any character get as big of a hate train as Mercy during S2. People are more trigger happy with flagging posts about Mercy because of that, and I think Ana post will end up being flagged just as much if the hate train continues.
I think fellow Mercy player Niandra explained this pretty well, in February, talking about S3’s nerfs : “I could write the most calmly stated opinion piece about the changes and I would still get people in my comment section being like “haha whinny Mercy main, lol, Mercy tears, L, Mercy crying”, so at that point why shouldn’t I just fling my sh*t around the monkey cage if I’m gonna be treated like that regardless”.
You did not ?
Rez :
GA (also talked about in every topic about Mercy) :
Pocketing :
Blue beam (and by extension her glock, as they’re always talked together ) :
I couldn’t find a post Valk being boring. You win this one, out of your 6 points, one has not has a single topic I could find in the last 18 days.
Sadly, when it comes to your conclusion… it’s not really “new”…
I just want to say Illaris release was worth just to get you to calm down a bit.
If only same was true for the next guy
Why is Soldier 76 outdamaging Widowmaker when Widow has burst dps and soldier has sustained? Come on, think hard, I am sure you can come up with an answer.
