As I said, I am aware she is in favor of some sort of tweak, but I am not aware that she has made any other statements relating to this.
I brought her up to point out an example of a player one could watch to see the difference between skilled mercy play and unskilled. That remains my point here.
Despite that, i have witnessed it multiple times in multiple levels of play…and the statement i was replying to indicated (gist, not a quote) that she has no carry potential
To me she’s one of the harder supports. She takes gamesense, mechanics, and positioning and all in her own unique way; just like Lucio.
In addition, her extremely supportive focus might make her intuitive for regular support players, but someone alien to the role can easily have a bad time on Mercy.
This is also true, though one of the respondents from earlier in this thread does not seem to believe that a statement from a forum member stating their like or dislike of x is indicative of their like or dislike of x
But again - yes, there are many folks on both sides
While I enjoy the core aspects of her kit (i.e. GA, her self-heal, dedicated healing / dmg boost, Angelic descent), I certainly do see many other areas where she can be improved as of late.

Without the need to blush, i can affirm that I and many others find her well balanced, impactful, and fun to play in her current state, and ergo in no need of any changes
So does Zen. So does Ana. If we go back to the time before Bap, Brig and Moria, Lucio is the only healer that doesn’t. This isn’t something that makes Mercy special.
Yes, this is the trade-off for it being one of the most powerful abilities in the game and also being unmissable. There has to be some counter-play mechanism to prevent it being OP, so I’d hardly consider this much of a penalty.
I agree with the first statement. Valk kinda sucks. But Nano is not meant to be used to bail people out of a sticky situation. Sure, it can be with the burst heals and the DR, but unless you’re expecting that hero to make a swift turn around and take up the driver’s seat that is a very poor use of Nano. Meanwhile Moira and Brig’s ults are better used as initiation ults. They don’t have enough burst potential to correct misplays - not like Sound Barrier and Trans do.
Still, none of this is really stuff that makes her “harder”.
