Mercy felt incredible coming from Overwatch 1 into 2. Her movement was so fluid and I ended up getting really good at getting out of sticky situations considering support has been rough since the start. Now with the change to Guardian Angel she feels clunky and almost how she felt in OW1.
In terms of everyone saying shes a pocket God now. I don’t notice that much of a change I’ve seen demos but I think overall the game has a serious dmg problem. Tanks (3rd dps) output too much so when everyone is destroying the front line even with the heal buff it doesn’t feel like enough to keep people up. When they changed her heals in OW1 to what it was (55) everyone felt it was fair and it felt very nice to finally feel more of an impact. She isn’t a heal bot but now it seems they’re incentivizing that.
I would suggest maybe a 50 hp per sec change and maybe a 25%hp boost to people under 50% health. Along with bringing back her passive regeneration considering how the support role in itself is difficult minus the second tank to help out.
My highest rank in ow1 was mid masters and in OW2 Diamond 2 (throwing this out there because people like to say “skill issue”)
Maybe next time implement an experimental card ahead of major updates like in the past so we could all test it out. I’m just disappointed because I love Mercy/Lucio and now I’m s*** out of luck lol

They should consider completly reworking her. From whole Team rezz to solo rezz i ve seen the whole s*** show over the years. And the rezz mechanik doesnt feel good.
Give her a proper rework…
Her viability may be different depending on the rank people are playing at. I don’t like the change either and since the start of this season I’ve seen far less Mercy players in competitive at least as that is where I spend most of my game time…
It may be worth them re-evaluating this change and reverting the GA change as it’s important for Mercy to be flexible and be able to glide to targets when they need her or vice versa. I’m almost all the games where there has been a mercy I’ve seen them get caught out due to the mismanagement of their cool-down and who can blame them? Her ga cool-down has remained largely the same over the years.
You need to realize that Mercy movement was far too broken. You can’t possibly justify a DOUBLE dash every 2 seconds in ANY direction. Considering Mercy’s hitbox is already pretty small, her moving around the map all day as fast as she does is a big problem. Either make Mercy hitbox like Zen/Brig and keep the movement or drop the movement. You can’t have both.
I know you like your favorite hero to be fun to play, but guess what, everyone does. But compare Genji now with Genji in OW1 Beta. He has gotten 0 buffs and only nerfs:
- Bleed damage removed.
- Triple jump removed.
- Melee animation cancel removed.
- Damage reduced.
- Blade duration reduced.
- Blade damage reduced.
- Deflect hitbox reduced.
The only 2 things you can call buffs when they’re not really buffs is:
- Increased fire rate by 20% (minimal difference in OW2, in OW1 it would have mattered more)
- Cancel deflect when you want (any half-decent genji could already cancel their deflect at will with dash or pseudo wall climb)
Mercy is currently in an ‘OK’ state. If anything, I would prefer they gave her back her support passive but remove the extra heal when under 50%. Or they could revert all the changes and put damage boost on cooldown, that would work too.
I agree with the need for her movement to be pegged back, it was excessive and allowed Mercys to get out of bad positions far too easily.
Sadly, the changes they’ve made haven’t quite landed how they wanted. It seems to have made her a lot stronger in some quite stupid situations.
Yeah,she’s been nerf very hard.She’s too easy to kill today,so very vulnerable.I hit her many times today :’(
