Just wanted to pretty much remind the overwatch team that even though a lot of people who dont play mercy are doing great there are still players who really enjoy playing this character and i hope you are not going to leave her in this very underwhelming state. Cause our fun while playing her is just as important as that of leople who enjoy playing other characters. Beyond that just cause you feel that less people should be playing her and trying to enforce that upon them by breaking her and making her a very bad healer that is pretty much there to press the E button for people who dont know how to play to begin with doesnt mean we will just let this go and “main more viable meta picks” cause you just dont love the character YOU made to begin with hehe. So yeah just putting it out there. Loving the new torb rework im sure torb players will finally get more respect and confidence to play him more. Thank you for reading.
Really, all they need to do is just bump back that 10 HPS nerf they implemented last. The first 6 nerfs annoyed me but she was still playable, that 10 HPS nerf just broke her down to a toddler with a staff and a baby gun.
I completely understand how you feel DeaNatural since ive felt it too while playing her. I can still get top heals no matter who is healing with me and i can still sport that gold medal for healing but its not because im keeping my teammates alive during a fight its just cause ive been playing mercy a long ass time to know how to heal with her efficiently and that is my focus while playing her. Saying that its not just the 10 hps its being a statue while pressing E. Its having to endure the swap animation of mercy for 2 years between gun and staff just so you can deal some dmg. Its a lot of things about her that feel stagnant and just awful to play when you see how fluid and interesting and impactful the other characters are while playing them. I don’t want to have to keep playing my favorite character design wise that is basically a ress bot. Cause let’s be honest beyond the beam you are just there to ress your risk takers and misplaying group members and reward their bad plays by ressing them. While you yourself that entire time is just a ress bot that has no impact on the game and honestly if any dps is at least decent at playing dps(or tank or support) they will kill you if you try to whip out that stupid pistol hehe. So she is underpowered in every single way and it doesn’t matter how many bullets they give her during her ultimate for you to kill very noobish widows with or pharas that miss every shot.
Yeah, that’s why I keep my res’s down to a minimum even though my fingers itch to just go and res that… “nice” person that died smack in the middle of the map, however I do have my days where I fly halfway across and res right in a teamfight and get away with it which is really funny.
This is one way they could potentially fix res (Skip to 1:30), I liked the idea of it.
I think you need to make 3 more topics about Mercy. Its not like you care that you are spamming.
I think i should at least 3 more. xD
Guess you guys still can’t accept that mercy doesn’t have to be good in every situation
Or Iw4ntT0die good at all in any sense. Yeah she doesn’t.
That’s why i keep saying we need all of the characters in overwatch to be just as “good” and just as “fun” so we can all have the same experience on our mains together!
It’s only fair.
We can all uninstall overwatch together a week later too! That would be hilarious.
xD
Or all you complaining mercy mains could uninstall since its obviously a torture for you to play her or to learn other heroes
Of course no hero is good in every situation, but Mercy is only as good as her teammates are. She has the lowest damage of all the supports, and is the only hero with an ability that is castrated by casting time. I didn’t mind any of the nerfs that were dealt to her. I was upset, sure, but it was not a big deal except for that very last nerf with the 10 HPS reduction.
Sure Mercy is challenging to play now, but her impact is greatly reduced to which she can barely heal amidst a battle and is mostly effective healing behind walls after allies have fallen back which is a pain considering she’s a close range healer. As a pure support hero, her healing was the only thing going for her, so if they’re gonna nerf her healing then they might as well give her a fighting chance in which she doesn’t have to rely on her team for everything.
Well said my friend but they just don’t get it.
Let me repeat once again how if you like a hero and they are the main reason you play OW, even if you do play other heroes effectively you just don’t like them as much, than it only makes sense why you might be unhappy with the changes hehe. I don’t see why it’s so mystifying.
I can play Ana VERY effectively and i can play all the other supports too but it doesn’t mean i like playing them as much as i do mercy.
I get it you think just because someone likes a lower skill hero that they have no skill… but maybe they are just Lazy and don’t wanna put a lot of effort in every single match so they go to the easy hero to take a break after having a really intense 20 minute capture the point game with a high skill hero that requires a lot of attention to pull off.
Bla bla skill bla bla… there are many characters in game for a reason but after they killed mercy it just made me play the game a lot less cause if i try to pick her and play her my healing would still be gold(stat wise) cause i do main supports and always have… but all my teammates will die in every fight and me playing mercy won’t be a bonus it will be a detriment to the team cause even if we had a dps instead of mercy, not even a support, that got kills it would benefit the team fights a lot more than having a mercy around that can’t keep anyone alive during a fight and if she tries to whip out the pistol than she is effectively not healing but acts as a very low dps dps hero that can only kill the most stupid of widows that can’t dodge her very slow gun pallets while scoping directly at the mercy from the other side of the map. xD
i agree,
mercy at the moment is pretty weak compared to the other supports.
her healing was the last thing that allowed her to be picked, and now that’s nerfed, I see more mercy players unable to heal her teammates before they die.
.
here is a list of all the problems that i have seen with mercy.
.
mercy doesn’t have any utility to help out teammates besides healing or resizing
.
healing isnt enough to keep teammates in a fight, it’s so bad that Winston can out damage her healing.
.
her E, as powerful as it is, it also makes mercy sitting duck and counteracts on what blizzard wanted from mercy a hiding rez hero that avoids teamfight and stops her from healing.
.
and her ult (i consider it as a weaker zen ult) has much less impact on team fights
it doesn’t feel like an ult and doesn’t allow an opening for your teammates to push or defend than other support hero ults.
and is one of the easiest ults to be counter by another ults (mainly soldier,mcree).
so yhea, lets hope blizzard does something
The issue with the Mercy Nerfs is that Mercy is the most played hero who has a unique, easily accessible playstyle and by nerfing her a large segment of the player base are being pushed away. In my opinion, the most recent nerf has put her from a mostly even pick leaning to the stronger side to being a throw pick unless being played against a pick comp.
