#mercy problems

Its amazing how people think I’m going to heal them when they call me a “fucking retard” and a cunt. Like its not my job to follow a Doomfist into the middle of a shit show and abandon the rest of the team. Also I ended the match with >10,000 healing done, so eat me. 😇

As a mercy/lucio main I can confidently say there is one hero that says “I need healing” way more than Genji, and that is Junkrat. It’s hell when I’m in a game with botch characters and I’m getting spamed.

hey genji? genji??? HEY GENJAMIN??? my name is MERCY not War Horse (2011) ft. Tom Hiddleston so STOP charging into the middle of a roiling war zone and whinging about heals to replace your -2 life bar you sunken soufflé

Playing Mercy is going to take years off me. This team I was on won the game and people were still being rude to me. This mccree would run off 1vs6 then call me a bitch over mic for not rezzing him. His friend would call me dumb for rezzing him. So one gets mad at me for not rezzing and the other gets mad at me for rezzing. This sounded like a white boy and he constanly used the n word. The whole game this guy was all "god our Mercy sucks." "These people are assholes." "Mercy fucking rez me." At the end of the game we won but the enemy teams Mercy got potg. They went "Why couldn't that be the Mercy on our team?" Oh really? You would rather have that Mercy on your team? Despite me carding for having more healing done then that Mercy? Despite me living longer and getting more rezzes in? I had 16 rezzes and 13,000 healing done and we won. Still get belittled by dps. This is why I dont use mic unless I'm with my friends.

Hey! I’m a Mercy main and I just wanted to muse a bit about her changes. I think, ultimately, Mercy is actually going to end up stronger because of these changes. The single target rez makes her an absolute powerhouse on defense, since you can get a tank back up as soon as they go down, and the aoe healing component of her ult rewards group play, and is effectively a perpetual Amp It Up. 

But I think the core issue with the change has to do with how she feels. While I’ve noticed a net increase in average healing done with the change, it doesn’t feel like I’m making a big impact. Her ult just lets her do what she usually does. just better. Which I don’t think makes for fun gameplay, y'know?

Something I’ve been thinking about is from a lore perspective which ult fits her better? Got any thoughts there because I’m kinda torn. On one hand a big dramatic rez feels fitting for Mercy, but her new ult does manage to capture that feeling of being a guardian angel pretty well. 

Sorry about rambling so much.

P.S. I’m also studying computer science! Where are you studying?

Admin notes:

I think that devoted mains will figure her out and in the end she’ll still be an okay hero to main. I also think they were trying to make her a more accurate army doctor, (ie. able to save one person here or there, but ultimately can’t save all of them so all they can really do is their best) however I still prefer her old ult and I think I always will. the feeling you got from a 3+ rez was just awesome and could legitimately change the outcome of a match. I can’t see her doing that any more. she’s kind of just a pocket healer at this point

also I’m in Game Programming and Development, and I’d rather not state the school/region I’m currently in for privacy’s sake if that’s all the same to you.

Real talk the worst part of the new Mercy update is that everyone now wants to try out her new abilities and the regular Mercy mains can’t play her.
