Evening!
I think it’ll be quite awesome if Mercy had an ability called “Life grip”, where she can pull team mates to safety (Like hogs chain). As I feel Mercy is rather dull to play. It’ll probably make her more enjoyable to play.
Thoughts?
Nah.
I’d rather see her beams given a usage meter. Needs her skill ceiling increased to bring her in line with other supports.

she is the only hero that needs two buttons to smash and time her super jump . she already has a skill .making her more complicated will be dumb.
Technically the super jump is a bug and could be removed at any moment, so I wouldn’t personally count that.
Mercy is the only hero where you can get away with not learning to play the game to get value. Which I guess is nice for new players who aren’t mechanically gifted, but she needs to be made more engaging.
Possibly more impactful (or just nerf some of the other supports to bring them down to her level).
the "bug is there since launch if they havent removed it yet they will not remove it in future .
this is said by mostly people who dont like a certain hero .

Yeah. I doubt they will removed it, it is pretty much the only skill you have to learn on Mercy.
Other than her being with Moira as a little pointless right now. I think the rest of the supports need nerfs to bring her back to life.
But you are right. I do not find her fun to play in any way.
nerfs probably are on cards for most support heroes for new ow pvp . the only class that is getting good buff are tanks but that is cuz there will be only one tank .
i hope ow2 is much better balanced but we all know balancing is not strength of blizzard .
Yeah, if the passives they mentioned are coming. People like Bap and Brig should get a few nerfs to AoE healing.
Tanks should be fun, more aggressive brawlers than the sit there passively types you see in current OW.
Based on the match played last night between O2 Blast and SF Shock, which was played on a workshop mode using the most up to date information possible, 5v5 is going to be pretty fun, with fast paced matches. Giving more people the chance to have an impact and not have to suffer or prosper based on tank comps.

displacing your own team is the single most toxic thing ive ever heard. do you not realise how easy it would be to grief?
No it isn’t… “Single most toxic thing you’ve ever heard” is way overexaggerating. You saying Priests life grip in WoW is toxic?

It absolutely is though.
Displacements are annoying enough coming from the enemy team, being able to greif your own team with it is straight up asking for people to grief.
In an ideal world its a fine ability but you need to remember that this game has one of if not the most cancerous player base.
Throwing gives people grief, not healing gives people grief, pretty much everything in game can give people grief. It’s hardly “Absolutely toxic” when having an ability that can save lives, and yes people would mess around and do it “For jokes”, but not if they actually want to win.

the issue is that it takes control out of the player being displaced.
like sym tp also has the ability to grief teammates but you get grieved once, lean your lesson and dont use tp. taking all control away from the person being moved is why it is toxic.
you would need to be able to opt in but then the ability relies more on the person consenting than the mercy.

It just isn’t a workable idea.
Well Mercy is a very boring Hero to play and having that feature could make her more fun. I don’t believe it’s toxic, but each to their own. I mean Zarya can save lives by using bubble, so I think it’ll be good for a Mercy to be able to do something other than fly around spamming heal beam.

I agree. mercy is the single least interactive hero in the game.
Give her a skill shot, not a tool that would enable an already bad hero to hard greif.
The comparison doesn’t work. Bubble doesn’t take control away your from teammate.

They should just make her staff a weapon which can alt heal/buff.
Anything would improve her current playstyle.
I disagree with that. I mean Mercy looks very boring but actually I have a lot of fun playing Mercy. The fact that I can fly around the place without anyone hitting me or being able to kill me because my movement is too much for them makes it better. But I understand your point. However I dont think Mercy needs a new ability to make her gameplay more interesting.

Fair enough, I respect your opinion.
