Yesterday marked one year since Mercy was reworked

[Naz-11562]

This is D.Va rework erasure

[Kurrokitty-1639]

Yes it is but its a no skill hero so no one cares if her player base is upset that she has been stripped of ANY skill she once had for an easy mode spectator ult. There are so many IQ plays with Valkyrie now. /s

I just want Valkyrie and Ressurect gone at this point. Anything to see Valkyrie gone from this hero so if I am to sacrifice ressurect I can deal with that if they can give her an actually fun, balanced and skillful ability and an ultimate with game changing plays.

That’s just me. Do I want mass ressurect back? Sure but realistically do I honestly think they will bring it back. Nope. So removed the damn thing AND Valkyrie and give us something better.

The new Mercy is more Engaging, takes more skill, and is overall a more enjoyable hero.:
Old Mercy: Guardian Angel, Heal, Damage boost, Pistol, instant non-engaging ultimate.
New Mercy: Guardian Angel, Heal, Damage boost, Pistol, 15 second much more engaging ultimate, Resurrection every 30 seconds

So now instead of a brain dead ultimate that didn’t even slightly engage the player anymore, you have a slightly less brain dead ultimate that lasts 15 seconds, allows fast flight, and insane healing capabilities to your whole team. Plus an additional ability that with a cast time takes skill because you will need team coordination and thought put in before attempting the rez.

Kudos to blizzard on an extremely successful rework. The hero is now more balanced, more engaging (more to do instead of just heal now), and much more fun. They did a great job.

Sure whatever helps you sleep at night.

[FreakyFodder-1513]

Ah, yes the Mercy rework. Worst thing to ever happen to Overwatch… “Mass rez us un-fun to play against” and playing against her in ever match isn’t?? I am glad stopped overwatch her rework came out… Because she seemed really OP

@Nebula-11568

Just revert her

Or do this:

@Titanium-1686

Valkyrie:

• Removed.

Resurrect:

• Removed as a basic ability and placed as Mercy’s ultimate ability.
• 15 meter range.
• Line of sight requirement. Does not apply to destructibles, payloads, or non-fundamental map obstacles that are too small to actually obscure a player. In other words, none of that BS where a player can move behind a lamp post to evade a nuclear explosion.
• 1 second cast time. Basic movement is unrestricted while casting, but all attacks and abilities are disabled for Mercy during this time.
• If Mercy is stunned or killed while casting, Resurrect does not activate and Mercy loses all ultimate charge.
• All living allies within range and LoS of Mercy once the cast time ends receive a burst heal of 150 HP. Mercy also receives this burst heal.
• All dead allies within range and LoS of Mercy once the cast time ends are revived at full health and receive 2.25 seconds of invulnerability (same as current Resurrect and Resurrect pre-rework).
• Mercy does not receive invulnerability upon Resurrect’s activation.
• Resurrect does not require dead allies to be activated.
• 1625 ultimate charge requirement (the same as Mercy 1.x’s Resurrect).

Most importantly, this takes Resurrect off one of Mercy’s basic abilities and places it into a position that matches its ultimate-like behavior. On top of this, various trade-offs were made to the ability to allow for the healing burst and the introduction of a second basic ability.

The healing burst, post-rez vulnerability, cast time, and LoS requirements all incentivise using Resurrect to revive 0-3 players rather than 4+ players. Attempting to use it on four or more players runs a greater risk a failed resurrect attempt due to the cast time. If Mercy manages to use Resurrect, there is a greater chance that she missed some allies due to the LoS requirement. If those two drawbacks do not drag her team down enough, there is also the fact that Mercy is vulnerable post-rez while her teammates are still reviving.

The healing burst and fire-at-will mechanics on Resurrect make the ability more flexible and open up some unique uses for it. For example, Mercy could use Resurrect to grant her team a burst of healing in the middle of the teamfight to keep their momentum going rather than waiting for an ally to rejoin the fight after being killed and revived.

New Basic Ability - Pacify:

• After a .5 second wind-up, Mercy launches a single hitscan attack from her left hand.
• The projectile’s hitbox size resembles that of Symmetra’s secondary fire.
• The projectile deals no damage upon impact with an enemy. Instead, it applies a debuff that reduces the base damage dealt by the target by 33%. 100 damage is reduced to 67 damage before other damage amplifiers/reductions are factored in.
• This debuff lasts for 4 seconds.
• The projectile does not persist once it hits an enemy. It is only able to affect one enemy for each use.
• The projectile is blocked by barriers, Defense Matrix, and Particle Barriers. It can be deflected by Genji’s Deflect ability.
• 10 second cooldown. The cooldown begins after the ability is cast.
• There is a .25 second wind-down time after Pacify is launched.
• During the wind-up and wind-down times, Mercy is not able to use her staff, her pistol, or Resurrect. She may use Guardian Angel, however.
• Does not affect non-player entities and constructs (turrets, Rip-Tire, Supercharger, etc).

[Bui-1491]

Ruined it for you, I guess.

[DvaSlaysEU-2809]

Why don’t we revert dva as well? Screw micro missiles.

[Desola-21715]

When the opinion is about how fun that certain hero feels to play and there is no evidence for actual recent playtime on that Hero… kinda hurts the actual power of the argument, doesn’t it?

Example… In CS:GO I have a total amount of one game played. Was it fun? Nope… (lobby with some random ear-rape mic spammer kid) otherwise I would have played more… Do I allow myself to just call the whole game Unfun? No because I don’t have the same amount of data that people, who regulary play it have.

[PastelGoth-11549]

You must have misread the PTR patchnotes, I’m pretty sure it was removed

[anon98855169]

But we cannot forget that there are those who do not use forums, or redits to voice their displeasure about changes.

Let’s not forget those who are afraid to voice their concerns. I have thousands of comments on my videos thanking me for giving a voice because of the toxicity. Titanium’s post also has 800 likes, most of those have not commented.

[Naz-11562]

Neither here nor there, but 4 second DM had just as much vitriol as mass rez. So I’m gucci; I prefer there not being ten million nerf D.Va threads

[DvaSlaysEU-2809]

They won’t get their way. Blizzard tend to just ignore feedback anyway

[Nebula-11568]

Fine by me. I like that idea.

[Macster-11267]

Everyone says being a flying healing chandelier is a very fun and interactive ultimate to use though…

[Senketsu-11621]

TL;DR: Revert Mercy.

[Tiny-11424]

Please. It’s time. Bring back Mercy. I want it, most of you want it, and we all know this rework didn’t do what it was supposed to do.

The vocal minority want it.
Me? Absolutely not. She’s balanced now.

[DaftMauS-1668]

Old mercy coming back is truly the dream.

[Lynx-13811]

The thing with this argument is, literally no one is asking for 5 man rez to return exactly as it was without any adjustments. Everyone agrees there were issues with it, but those issues were very fixable and ultimately, much easier to balance for everyone than this mess of a rework.
