mercy nerf
| (2/3) this very much angers me because im a Mercy main with more then 700 hours and in grandmasters, this is going to continue to ruin thw game for me as it forces me to pkay someone else and do good, so its as if jeff only wants people to play certain heros instead of fixing every one to a good balance so every hero can be an option, because then they can have more time to work on new people
| (3/3) because more heros would lead to more options for the meta making shiftable, but some fixes id like to see, orisa shield nerf, torbijorn sentry range cut down a little to where ita not a snuper but still good range, mercy buffed back to ult rez, lucio healing buffed a bit, dva mech call down do 75 instead of 25, symmetra buff, moira nerf, doomfist projectile gun thing nerf, reaper buff, ana heal ability buff, zarya buff, zenyatta buff. criticism is welcomed
| As a fellow Mercy main, yeah they shouldda mess with her more in ptr instead of pulling multiple nerfs. I like valk as it is.
But do you seriously want rez back as ult? Really?
| Damn, that's a bunch of nerfs for one character. Seems like it only shows how bad they are with keeping things balanced if they need to do that. That's like if in a card game they nerf an OP card, and they find that it is still OP and have to do a second nerf. Sounds absurd.
| It's because she is Aryan isn't it?
| >>118413
To be fair, Overwatch's assymmetric design is pretty complicated. That they manage to keep it this balanced with so many moving parts is amazing already
| Honestly, I prefered the rez ult, mostly because I didn't just hide in a corner and wait for a team wipe to happen, so I found figuring out the best time to ult was a fun challenge. When I'm in the middle of the fight, trying to stay alive and keep my team alive, the rez was my last resort that had to be timed perfectly. A second too slow or quick and I would miss someone, and I'm trying not to die and keep the survivors alive. When playing her how you were suppose to, rez was fun.
| >>118466 surviving is easy, are you a gold, her pistol is so good for headshots, and waiting for a whipe is goos becausenthen you know they used their ults
| I like it since the team wont tilt right away when i pick zen or moira
| >>118478 Surviving isn't hard, but it's far from easy. Mercy is fairly squishy, and while her mobility is good, it's limited by your team's placement, and although her pistol is good, she is in no way a dps. The most you will be able to do is pick off one, maybe two people. And in waiting for a wipe, you basically abandon your team and hope that you won't be killed by people who know and are waiting for you to dive in for the team rez.
| **BLIZZARD POLICE ALERT** We are closing this thread. Please take your concerns to the mercy mega thread instead, thank you.
| I quit ow bc of that shit system long time ago. Fuck Blizzard
| That nerfing was mercyful
Badum tsss
| Just another blizzard ""balancing""
| >>118589 you wait foe whipe because enemy team ususally uses most of their and its easier to defend when they dont
| In the next patch:
>Mercy has her gun removed
>Mrmercy can now only heal 10% of her original speed
>Mercy new Ult is a blowjob that causes male Heroes to get knocked out for the round.
>Mercy now has another second Ult where she becomes a cum dumpster for the rest of the game...
| Blizzard takes way too fucking long to balance shit. Mercy has been a "pick or you lose" hero for way too long.
| Unpopular opinion, but I actually support the new mercy nerfs. Mercy's ult currently holds the weight of 3-4 ults, and that makes team fights much more unbalanced.
Before, if a team fight was going badly, it would require all the members of the losing team to play at 110% to win the fight. Now, players can play poorly and just rely on a mercy ult to save the fight.
This is why I want to see a Lucio/Moira meta, which would require maximum skill from both teams to win fights.
| I really don't want Mercy to become unplayable, but she shouldn't be able to carry a bad team. No one character should be able to carry a team.
| As a Mercy main I still think she's pretty useful (she's still the most used hero), but I do wish she was back to how she was before her new ult.
| Mercy is just op, I mean she has a gun and can heal. And she can fly! Did you see that she could fly??
I really think that Mercy would be balanced if you removed her OVERPOWRREd healing and shooting and most of her clothes too

| >>126342 Genji can't carry a team, he does very little against tanks. A skilled Genji can lead his team's damage, but he can't save his team when they're doing badly.
| >>126591 genji kills everything, yoy are just gold or lower, get to gm then watch a genji play, they can carry super easy
| https://youtu.be/jncBD_PYztw here's a good idea
| >>127350 Genji doesn't have nearly as high of a pick rate as mercy, because he CAN be countered. Mercy can't be countered, because having a mercy with her ult (before the nerfs) is effectively a 8v6, so the only way to counter mercy is to have a mercy yourself, making it 8v8. That's why she's considered by many to be a 'must-have' hero. Genji might be powerful, but he doesn't carry the weight of 3 heroes like mercy does.
| Damn. I knew I was shit at OW, but seeing all of you talking about Mercy carrying and making it an 8v6 and not being able to be countered just makes me realize I'm worse than a noob. I've always been at my team's mercy as a Mercy
| >>127426 bruh everything is a counter to mercy, all you have tp fo is get past her protection, a.k.a. her team
| >>127430 well certainly that is the case, mercy save herself if someone dives her, but as long as she's in the fight it's an 8v6. If your team targets the enemy Mercy, you can make it more of a 7v6, but since she's extremely difficult to kill while flying, she can still make the game 8v6 (unless you have exceptional hitscans on your team).
| Typo, meant to write "Mercy CAN'T save herself"
| Mercy nerf is fun because my friends used mercy
| Thanks Papa Jeff
| But all in all those nerfs aren't so bad. Of course playstyle changes dramatically but she is always fun to play. As her main I just try to get used to her new/different abilities. (sorry for poor English)
| >>129556 "kill the tanks" yea no I'm a tank main and Genji has never been a threat to me. Sure, he's got a high skill ceiling, but he CAN be hard countered and beaten with proper game sense, he's not at all unbalanced.
| i quit ow and went back to cs:go
| take mine
| Dude, Mercy was a trash character to begin with whose only use was countering a team party wipe. She's just an example of why Overwatch is a garbage game in general. The fact that she got so many nerfs and that Blizzard doesn't know what to do with her is just par for the course- that's what happens when you bring in the "balancing" mentality from WoW and try to apply it to a first person DOTA.
| Mercy needed a few needs to change her original potato playstyle, I think the 5 man red change was necessary but I think they overdid it recently cause she is taking it hard. I'm a diamond Ana main so i may be a bit biased lmao feelsbad

| Jeff wants to nerf Mercy to get her out of the meta so he decided to remove ult rez and make ability and give Valkyrie, but with this she could srill rez 4 people in 30 seconds so he nerfed her again, now she has 1 insta rez ability and another from Valkyrie, then he nerfed her again to make her ability rez not instant, then he is gping to nerf her again where her angelic glide is slower she has 1 rez during Valkyrie and its not instand and Valkyrie only lasts for 15s (1/2)
