I just like the hero. While I struggle to get much value out of her base kit anymore due to the high damage against her low heals, I can be incredibly obnoxious with my mobility that its got to the point that if I die, I was seriously outplayed (legit had a df read my e-girl jump and killed me using a ceiling with meteor strike, GG that doomfist).
And her damage boost is so valuable now, with all the dps power creep, most heroes with damage boost can 2 shot most squishies in the game. Combining that with other damage boosting abilities, and it really starts to sting.
And personally, I hate rez. When people ask me to go mercy for rez, it low key tilts me off the face of the planet. Why go mercy for rez, when I cans go any other healer and stop you from dying to begin with? It’s obvious to enemies, it’s horrible to use, and it’s cast time is longer than most ultimates in the game. And it’s a standard ability. Why we can’t have a slightly buffed version of current rez as Mercy’s ultimate I’ll never know, it would be perfect as an ultimate now, acting much like Tracer’s pulse bomb where it’d either be high value or wasted, but charges quickly. Either that, or just replace it entirely. Mercy doesn’t need rez to be Mercy. If you take it away, people will still look at her and go ‘Oh, that’s Mercy’ if you ask someone to name a healer from Overwatch, or something, I dunno, it’s the best example I got.
But I play Mercy because I love the hero, struggle to aim as Overwatch is my first fps (gasp, shock, horror, I know), and just have fun playing her. Yes, it’s way more stressful than it needs to be playing Mercy now, but that makes it even more enjoyable, honestly, even if I do sometimes lose braincells due to, uh… ‘questionable’ positioning on my teammates behalf (I see all… You can’t hide…)
But I digress. She’s fun to play, and I like her character and simplicity. Just f rez.
