A very good shift, but we also have to remember that she loses an utility ability with this. I don’t know what numbers the devs would shift around to justify the change. But it doesn’t sound bad.
And if it’s too op, just make it so that she can’t shoot and heal at the same time.
Then it would technically be the same it is now but without the weapon swap time in between.
She would lose one that makes oppressive heroes more oppressive by just existing, but would gain one that would benefit her team, aka utility.
Mercy is supposed to be a triage healer, right? Then they should give her something that heals, like a placeable healthpack (Similar to how Illari places her Pylon but can only be placed on the ground) that can be used by her team members, once per team member that heals depending on how much health the team member using it has left.
If they’re in critical condition, it’ll heal more, if they’re only missing 25hp it’ll heal far less. Not instant heal, but heal over time. 15hps from 75%hp left. 25hps from 50% hp, 50hps from 25%hp and 75hps from 10%hp left, over 3 seconds. Let it get a cool down of 16 sec so it’s not too extreme. Also have to make it possible to hack it.

The problem would mostly be that there’s no buttons left.
Mouse 1 and 2 are taken. E is taken (unless they replace rez) and shift is for guardian angel.
That’s the only issue i see with adding an ability to her in this precise scenario.
That’s not a problem. That’s just a case of mapping a new ability. It’s easy to map stuff to new buttons since there are so many buttons not even being used for this game.
people like you make me honestly sick hieiko. you play the good little boy on the forums and talk about rules in general that people need to abide them and then you do the exact opposite of what you are reframing using NON CONTSTRUCTIVE POSTS about the the topic at hand then you report me.
grow up.
They are having a discussion about mercy. No need to get angry about it.
What did i do?
The convo started with cassidy and wet through the dps role, ending with the consensus that damage boost on mercy makes high tuned dps even more problematic.
I guess you just didn’t read the whole convo.

Because he is one of most favorite pick by cheaters.
as a widow main I got used to play vs sombra, just get yourself a headset, what scares me more is sombra in MY team cuz they always 0-0-4 or something and have like 200 dmg after 2 respawns.
You know mostly sombras are just noskill-players who can’t do anything on any other character, so when they run invisible they at least don’t die so fast. Their impact usually is something near zero.

Woah, nice generalization there, buddy… Not cool.
Just because you can’t play anything but Widow doesn’t mean others can’t play more than one hero.
Good grief…
“Can’t play anything but widow”?
Widow is the most hard hero, no? What do you mean I can’t?
This is a try of insult, but so stupid…
Blaming someone can’t play anything except the hardest hero?
Of course I can play heros for people with no hands, I just say that mostly sombras are very ez to play against. I only switch when people go 2-3 tanks and for some reason I really want to win, not cuz of sombra or other bugs.
She’s not. Far from it.
That’s not why i replied to you.
This is why i replied to you.
You’re literally insulting every single Sombra player by generalizing and slandering, on top of being seemingly clueless as to what value Sombra as a hero brings to the table.
Sombra brings far more value than a Widow and require far more finesse and tactical approach in the right hands.
I’m not saying everyone is great at Sombra, but the way you generalize and insult everyone playing Sombra is just childish. We get it, you don’t like having Sombra on your team, but you shouldn’t be sitting there generalizing and insulting everyone who play her when you’re playing a hero that offer very little value and is far less demanding to play.
I honestly couldn’t care less about the cesspool that is Open Queue.
Find a nice spot, stay quiet, aim, shoot… damnn that’s really the hardest thing an FPS player can do!

lol bruh, u saying something about insulting but give yourself a freedom to say this?
so who’s the hardest?
With those new hitbox it should not be a big problem lol
Here u may be right, but without those heroes Widow would dominate each game, since almost each FPS player is decent playing it…
I remember when I started playing OW for the first time, in the first games the only heroes that I could play decently were Soldier 76, Widow, Bastion, Hanzo… lol we could make Widow also the tutorial hero, is simply aim shoot repeat… after some time I could play heroes that require some game sense like Ashe, Reaper, Mei… and only after something like 100h, after knowing the abilities of each game hero, map, core gameplay could be decent with heroes like Genji or Tracer… it’s on those two where I put my bets.
But that is my personal opion, I started playing FPS games when Counter Strike 1.6 came out, maybe someone who plays OW as his first FPS game, will agree with you.
For not talk about the fact, I can stay 1 month without playing Widow, and if I pick her I see no big skill decrease, If I stay 1 month without playing Tracer, i feel like a chicken that is always being killed
So, you just ignore existance of these guys and continue your nonsence about widow - tutorial hero? I played since 2017 and thru all these years I can only remember 2 games where team provided so much space for me that I played like in tutorial.
Try imagine genji/tracer kit with a weapon of widow you’ll get the point.
Genji/tracer survive in impossible conditions, you can’t apply that to widow who’s been nerfed thru all history of this game.
If you don’t understand that you just have low IQ, it’s not an insult it’s like you deny 2+2=4
As I said, considering Widow as an ‘hard’ hero can depend a lot of the background of the player concerning FPS games… for me Widow was quite an ‘easy’ hero in the first games I played in OW since I already was used to sniping in other games…
Thats hard to imagine, but my bets would be a non sense awful kit having high mobility with long range weapon.
I played CS since beta… When AWP had a crosshair in no-zoom state.
That you say “quite easy hero” means not that you can hit roadhog, that means - headshot pharah/mercy-genji-tracer while being attacked by some sombra/lucio. You know, full potential of a hero is not hitting bodyshots. On moira/winston you just rightclick or don’t even click in moira ult, and this is full potential, just aim to the crowd. On widow it’s different.
And I don’t see you have OW profile, are you a simple troll who didn’t play OW at all?
Yeah, being cripple better than oneshotting olympic champion. Nice logic. Wait, cyberninja or TIMETRAVELLING girl have much better capabilities than some mere olympic champion, nvm tho.
