Why we need Mercy back!

[Otamega-2461]

So it’s not impactful. An Ultimate should be an impactful moment. You can consider Valkyrie quite a passive if you see in that way.

[Noon-11581]

I mean I’d enjoy the current GA with the old ult, if anything for testing purposes.
But overall I prefer current Mercy over old Mercy.

[Squidbarrel-1329]

Not to mention the overhealing and crithealing.

[Megadodo-11847]

People think of it as a “cooldown” because it has no added value so there is no need to save it up like a Zen or Lucio ult. Just pop it when you get it as it’s nothing special. At least it comes round fast enough now.

In my opinion, a good Mercy player generally gets enormous value out of Valkyrie. There are many videos out there that you can watch that can help you improve your play as Mercy, and in the use of Valkyrie

Valk is very unfun

[Megadodo-11847]

Valk is very unfun

I and many others find using Valkyrie to be very fun.

Personally, I find it to be one of the most impactful and versatile ultimates in the game

[Megadodo-11847]

I want Mercy to be just as effective and useful as other main healers. ….that’s all

ohhh and maybe this community should stop being toxic to each other ;-;

Nobody wins in war.

Exactly.

I find Mercy to already/currently be more effective than the other healers at present, as I get gold healing almost every time i play Mercy on a team with another healer - any healer

[Chiron-11341]

But not impactful

Describe “impactful?”

Because I can surely say from my personal observation and experiences that when I use her, I win a lot of my battles.

[Megadodo-11847]

Let’s just change Mercy again, ditch res, and be done with it lol

I and many others would prefer that Mercy not be changed in this (or any) fashion, as we like her as she is in her current state

[QuizzyBunny-2512]

The bunny cult.

The bunny cult always wins.

i swear mercy main keep saying “mercy is not impactful” so much it has turned into an anthem.
Can you muster up an original thought?

There is an unfortunate (and perhaps ironic) side effect to this as well: many pro-mercy player such as myself receive complaints from this same set of players for repeating our responses to them - but - what sort of new response is to be expected when the same anti-mercy statements are repeated over and over again?

[Zergotto-2668]

also, using valk on cooldown shows how little you understand that ult. 60 hps or 30% extra damage on your team, while you are hardly killable (outside of ult and godlike aim) and with the best mobility in the game.

what sort of new response is to be expected when the same anti-mercy statements are repeated over and over again?

the thing is… mercy mains have been using the same arguments so much they made a bingo a few months ago.
What else do you expect people to respond to the nth instance of “mass rez was balanceable” “mercy is not impactful” “rework her again” etc?

I’ve seen a bingo card specific for one the more vocal of the anti-mercy folks, but not one for them as a group in general

got a link?

exactly

[Zergotto-2668]

got a link?

no, i didn’t save it.
Also, that one user, half of what they preached has become part of the “mercy is not fun” cult, so it still kinda counts.

[Megadodo-11847]

well, if you do run across it, I’d love to see it

[Pep-11378]

Mercy was never EVER an issue.

Tell that to Lucio and Ana players

Her ultimate was glorious and unique. Mercy could literally shoot, fly to her teammates, and heal.

And rez up to 4 players (if you’re talking about the old valk, which was undeniably broken)

Mercy could literally shoot, fly to her teammates, and heal. Compared to other heroes who can primary fire, secondary fire, and have 3 abilities

This is true, Mercy doesn’t have a lot of abilities, but you can always play other heroes if that’s what you’re looking for. Mercy is designed this way in order to be easy to pick up.

Literally angels bring people back. She was very easily countered by a good widow or hanzo when it came to the hide and rez

For hide and rez, it was just that a lot of people really didn’t enjoy it.

If you had a good hitscan on your team or a good player at all, Mercy could easily be stunned or headshot and now she can’t rez

This being before they made instant rez a thing, yes. The instant rez was frustrating, and that was their mistake that led to her being reworked and OP for about a year.

Mercy’s rez now is such a disappointing part of her kit

It is still one of the most powerful abilities in the game, and due to some dps coming back into the meta she will likely see some viability on a good few maps.

I’ve had friends who completely uninstalled the game because of the Mercy rework

If they can only play Mercy, then they should probably try and pick up a different hero. It can be a lot of fun.

Just bring back the old Mercy, there are much more people who want it than people who do not.

This is statistically incorrect. I understand that you may spend a lot of time around people who want the old Mercy back, but that is in no way the sentiment of even a portion of the entire community, and not even among Mercy Mains.

[MARTINHO-21999]

I’ve had friends who completely uninstalled the game because of the Mercy rework.

Well, all of my friends left because of the Mass Rez meta that lasted for so long.

But you’re right. You can bring it back, most people left already. At least the hardcore players I knew. If they didn’t comeback after the Mercy rework I’m sure they’ll not, but a lot of players will leave if that happens.

I’m one of these people, if the “revert mercy” brings Mercy the frustrating way she was before. I’m not gonna let a ultimate waste all my effort over and over again. But if everyone wants her to be reverted, sure thing, but this isn’t my game anymore. I’ll let Blizzard decide on this issue, their decision will take my path on videogaming.

@RevertMercy-1304

Could have sworn someone is trying to tell me something… But since it isn’t actually factual… I guess I’m going to have to ignore it

Megadoo is right though

The survey is poorly formulated, a survey should have as few open questions as possible. The questions allowed for contradicting answers and the evironment it was held in was already biased.

But most important, the creator admited it was a bad survey:

@Sly-13591

I’ll be honest, this was the most frustrating thing about the survey.

So many people marked that they wanted a brand new Rework, but when asked if they had any ideas, a ton of these “unique” ideas pretty much just summed up to “Bring back Mass Res, but change the wrapping and add a shiny new bow to go with it.

Ooh and he/she exclusively said:

@Sly-13591

The intent was never to say “This is the conclusive opinion of every Overwatch player ever”.

So not only is it biased, the creator specificly states that it does not represent what the overall playerbase wants

[Graced-11399]

No we really don’t need Mercy back.
