A little bit ago this same person told me if Mercy puts their heal beam on you and turns around, it will cut off after 2 seconds as if you LoS your heal target. Not only do they not read, but they don’t even play Mercy, and are mostly here to instigate.
Not really surprised to be honest. The Revert Cult generally is not one to listen to logic, data or generally common sense. Not really surprised that they think Mass Rez + 100HP AoE burst heal for Mercy and anyone alive on top of her rez-ing the dead is an amazing idea. And that the guy who made that idea thinks mechanical skill shouldn’t have any part at all when talking about balance. And I actually have it saved just in case because he loves to lie about what he has said and what he hasn’t.
Clearly, you weren’t around for long enough to know how people were suggesting buffs for mass Resurrect left and right on the old forums. It was a nice conversation though. Peace.
To be fair, tripple tank with Ana was NUTS. It wasn’t as unhealthy as Mercy 2.0 was and in no way deserved the steep hit to Ana that happened, but it was still pretty unhealthy and needed to be addressed.
Mercy actually WAS indeed underpowered prior to getting invulnerability on Rez. She died when using it more often than McCree did when he was ulting and thats even his death rates before he got the increase to his damage ramp up. It was infact considered far more often than not to be throwing by using Mass Rez than to not use it.
Most of the suggestions revolved around putting a strong regen or some type of armor/shield on her so she’d be alive and not just get insta-picked when using Rez. Bliz put invulnerability on her and it was a good change but removed all counterplay besides kill Mercy before she has a chance to press Q, and that was wildly unhealthy but did not break her because she was still slightly underpowered.
Mercy has the lowest win rate of all supports across all ranks. Mercy has the fifth lowest win rate of all heroes.
The thing is, I don’t even care about that. She could be the worst hero in the game and I’d still play her. I’m frustrated that the developers don’t listen to the feedback proposed by the community, or by Mercy players. And instead only seem to care about her numbers. Valkyrie contradicts Mercy’s character design and is still somehow underpowered, Rez is an absolute mess in its current state, and she’s overall very frustrating to play as or against right now. She’s been absolutely gutted over the past year and the community is rightfully sick of it.
About which?
Being good? Cuz she is. You CAN be good without being overpowered.
Or about being fun? Cuz youd definition of fun isnt the only one. I still enjoy her. Went 7-2 last night alternating mostly between Lucio & Mercy. You just gotta use her where shes good now. Instead of one tricking her no matter what scenario.
Lol - this made me laugh - of course you do realize these things are done routinely by professional people with six figure plus incomes, own homes and have stable families as well?
I openly admit I do some of those things, everyone has hobbies. The point is those things in and of themselves don’t define one’s “adulthood”. It’s rather odd in the least to hear such a generalization in an age where people literally from all walks of life partake in fandom, including actors, politicians, professionals, and even the like of college professors and not the least of which would be probably half the adults who work for game companies… your entitled to an opinion like anyone else but I would think the real measure are things such as providing for family needs, meeting work responsibilities, etc. and generally not being an *sshat. That being said, the only point there I really concur on is living with your parents unless there are diverse circumstances.
