So first they nerfed Roadhog to the point of non-existence because

>>383897862
Blizz never cared about the top player audience. Casuals bring them most money so they pander to them.
Their e-sporst scenes are non-existent and artificially kept alive by Blizz throwing money. Only real one is Hearthstone and only because they were lucky enough so there was no real competition back when it released.
Game sucks now.

I'd give Mercy a good dicking though.

>>383897862
>So what are they, the devs, going after next? Probably Mei's freeze.
I highly doubt that. People have found playing against Mei unfun since her introduction, and since then Blizz actually buffed her radius and added shield piercing effect to her freeze.

>governments should make laws that cater to the 1% richest
Eat shit elitist fag

>Their e-sporst scenes are non-existent and artificially kept alive by Blizz throwing money.

Holy shit it's League of Legends all over again

>>383898172
They also spent several patches trying to fix Roadhog and changing his gun. Then they just killed him out of nowhere.

Not sure what you are trying to say.

>>383897862
When was the last time Blizzard made an actual good game / expansion?

I just wanna say thanks to whoever moved that other "mercy thread" to /trash/

You paid $60 for a game with 1 mode.

>>383897862
Blizzard catering to casuals is nothing new. The top .5% will just adjust like they always do without complaining. It's universally understood that you play games within a specific rule set, and if you intend to keep playing you adapt to changes. If you can't, you move on.
>Mercy can no loner resurrect from spawn
Not only was this an obvious exploit, but complaining about the hotfix exposes you as a shitter within a very user friendly class. Giving invuln on res was a huge buff, and no amount of nerfs can change that.

Mercy is my most played and I disliked the resurrect more than I ever have ever since they added unconditional invulnerability to it. It's already an unfun "fuck you" Ult while at the same time losing out to other support Ults.

I wish her Ult was more utility, like granting everyone within range CC immunity or something like that. Everything surrounding Mercy was just making it safer for her to press Q, to the point where you now press Q to shake off pulse bombs and shrug off Earthshatters.

They made it impossible to stop and now you cant even punish her for it. Invunurability, she can move, it's instant, can be performed from fucking spawn on 90% of final points. It's the single most obnoxious ultimate in the game because you can't do anything about it most of the time.

>>383897862
The thing is just that the only way to counter mercy's ress is by having a mercy of your own to counter res

It's literally the most dumb shit ever, especially with how you can just hide away and ress from behind a wall

Mercy IS no fun to play against.

What the fuck is engaging about wiping out 5 members of the enemy team only to have the enemy Mercy who was hiding far away in a corner miles away from the fight leap out and revive everybody while being invuln?

Hello silver player. Usually Mercy just hides far away from them for that epic +40 SR ress.

It just has enough content and depth till you reach your first prestige level.

I guess normies have no standards.

>>383900725
>>383900718
Have you guys actually played against a not retarded Mercy? They don't hide around a corner three feet away from the fight, they hide so far back we're talking probably a full-length Reinhardt charge at the minimum. It is so far back that if somebody does go looking for her, they're gonna get spotted by the enemy team and killed.

t. tf2 shitter

As a Mercy main, it pisses me off, generally speaking. I don't know how many different ways to say "Kill the fucking Mercy before any engagement."

You solve the entire problem there. Mercy can barely defend herself, with a slow projectile based, slow rate of fire, 20 damage per shot pistol. Meanwhile, Lucio can boop enemies away from him or speed boost away, Ana can sleep and heal block, Zenyatta can discord and then rack damage on headshots with high damaging orbs. Mercy's only legitimate option is to Guardian Angel to a teammate who would be able to protect her. If you don't have a teammate within the range, or they're behind an obstacle, you're dead. It is the only hero in the game that when singled out, is countered by every single other hero in the game.

I do think that spawn resurrects are bullshit though.

There's nothing you can do about a Mercy on the last point of any non-koth map.

If you're attacking, you will never stop a mercy from walking out of spawn and hitting Q.

If you're defending, you'll never have the resources to send one person off the point to go find wherever the Mercy is hiding.

I HATE THE FUCKING REZ. I hate having it so fucking much. It's so so so much more fun playing Mercy when my rez isn't ready. Hiding with my rez is the most stressful unfun thing imaginable...for both sides. It needs a rework not just a nerf.

I honestly don't know what Blizz can do here but I would rather Mercy was only able to rez 1 player more often than being a walking easy to kill counter team wipe.

>>383897862
News flash, every fourth character having an ability that stops you from playing the game in an FPS is pretty unfun. You'd think Blizzard would have learned from TF2's Sandman that people despise having control of their character taking away, but instead they let a quarter of the roster do it.

Flashbang, hook, freeze, beartrap, sleep, Pinned, Knocked Down. Am I missing any? That's at least one character from every role being able to stop you from playing.

Mercy is a one trick pony. Once her rez is used, she will not prevent a team wipe.

Casuals will be casuals. You combo 2 ults, like zar/hanzo, sombra/soldier, that type of shit. Most sitters will have a team blow ALL ults at once. I can't tell you how many games were saved by having a reaper hold his ult, let enemy mercy rez, and then sending them right back to DIE.

>>383902192
So what's the alternative? Seems like you just want every fps to be counter strike.

>>383901338
If she's that far away, she isn't healing.

Get kills with picks instead of a 5 man wipe and save ults.

>>383897862
If they're going to nerf anything for rez I'd like to reduce the invincibility of the people being rez'd. If DVA can lose all of her health going back into her mech then heroes being rez'd can be shot while the animation is going.

>>383902454
Lucio is a one trick pony, once his sound barrier is used, he will not prevent a team wipe.
Zenyatta is a one trick pony, one his transcendence is used, he will not prevent a team wipe.
Ana is a one trick pony, one she has used her biotic grenade, she will not prevent a team wipe.

>>383902483
Design characters that can be effective without a fourth of them being able to completely remove your ability to play the game? It's just lazy. Just because a bunch of characters don't have two buttonpress combos doesn't mean the game is homogenized like Counter-Strike. Team Fortress did it fine, they're even reworking the Sandman for the next update.

That wouldn't be a fallacy, would it, anon?

I enjoy your statement that its only lower level brackets that have a problem with Res and not everyone all the way up to the top fucking 500 hates having to deal with Mercy mains. If anything this is a fix to dump all the one trick Mercys out of GM and back into Bronze where they belong.

Lucio can still heal more than Mercy in an AoE
Ana can still hard CC someone for 8 seconds, and buff someone without needing to follow them around.

People have been asking for Mercy buffs for close to a year, now. Only team-oriented buffs she's received since Ana's introduction was her hps being raised, everything else were just selfish buffs to make her survive better, which was not the underlying problem with the hero.

People have been asking for a utility E for ages, but Blizz is set on making her a pure healer in a game where utility healers have consistently had top pick rates.

Read your post, and then be ashamed

>>383902676
>Lucio is a one trick pony
Lol no, Lucio's Speed Boost and sound blast are extremely effective, Sound Barrir is also a lot better than Resurrect since it keeps players alive and allows them to do shit while being virtually invincible.
>Zenyatta is a one trick pony
lol no, Zenyatta is an Offense character disguised as Support, he has damage output that helps the whole team and can fight while still passively healing an ally. Transcendence is also really good because it keeps players alive and allows them to do shit while virtually invincible.
>Ana is a one trick pony
lol no, Ana can outheal everyone else from a safe distance, can completely shut down an enemy player for a hell of a long time with the dart, can simultaneously buff and weaken with her grenade, and Nana Boost lets one player go fucking nuts on the enemy.

Mercy has one-person-at-a-time healing in which she needs to be right next to the ally and can ONLY do that, unable to defend herself while still healing. Mercy's Resurrect brings everyone dead back up but nothing more beyond that. Since they're all fucking dead, that 90% of the time means that the whole enemy team is right there on top of the corpses, so they're just going to fuck them up a second time. Her Blaster is mediocre, her Damage Boost is worthless, and Guardian Angel only works if there are allies in spots opportune for Mercy, which is rare.

Mercy is only good for babysitting bronze rank players and a few areas on select maps where a resurrect is actually useful. Any higher than Gold and you're better off with any other Support.

Roadhog didn't need the nerf and mercy doesn't either. The biggest complaint about Mercy involves how SR gains work, not her kit. The rez change is annoying, but she's pretty shit outside of her ult.

So how could you tweak Mercy's ult without utterly crippling her since she's already the weakest healer without her extremely potent ultimate, or tweak the other healers without castrating them to make Mercy's default kit more viable?

I think you may be confused. Mei's freeze just makes the game easier for her, it's not exactly hard to W+M1 someone. Roadhog not being able to OHKO is fantastic-- no one should be able to do that without an ult. Why bother shooting when you can just hook people? I hope we see D.Va's shield, Mei's ice block, Tracer's rewind, and more get nerfed to hell. It's fantastic that Blizzard actually seems to notice these for crappy mechanics they are.

Mercy's biggest issue like others have said, is that she has a pretty low skill floor like Lucio, which makes her easy to use effectively, but at the same time, once you get to high level play, she, more than any other OW character, suffers from diminishing returns.

Once you're playing with people that can use Lucio's speed boost, manage Zenyatta's orbs, or just aim consistently with Ana, and aren't playing with people that think "being healed = invincibility" there isn't really much for her to do unless you just really want to follow a Pharah around.

Shit, as long as you can maintain line of sight even Zenyatta could do that better.

Amazing hero

Only low tier shitters think mercy is op. The real reason she needs nerfed is because she's too easy to play. Try getting to high masters or GM on PC and wait until you get into a lobby with more than one mercy main on your team lol

Ive seen players that were low silver last season that are now GM or even top 500 this season because they started maining mercy.

She basically lets you climb to the highest ranks of overwatch without actually learning how to play the game

>>383909360
Pharmercy works well, but at the same time, Pharah has high damage output on her own, and can comfortably kill a lot of the cast while still being able to synergize decently with Zen or Ana.

>>383909847
I wasn't aware we were talking about D.va here.

>>383897862
Mercy's problem is that so much power is packed into her ul that it's impossible for it to be low impact.

You either kill mercy first and win the team fight or she survives and you lose.

This isn't GTA

Make a healer unfun to play, where there are like 4 healer in the game.

>Blizz never cared about the top player audience
What?! Blizzard released entire expansions that focused on high level raiding, that the average person wouldn't be able to beat until the next expansion.

It sure wasn't casual pandering that caused millions of people to leave the game.

Rez is different than roadhogs hook because rez actually has no counterplay other than hounding down and killing mercy repeatedly so she cant build ulti

however blizzard sucks dick so they will probably do the wrong move and just ruin Mercy entirely instead of adding more counterplay vs it to the game like they should

Instead of resurrecting allies, she channels all of her nanomachines into her muscles and gun. By turning off her pain inhibitors she becomes a killing machine. No Mercy.

>>383909431

And actual fix would be to change her kit


Change Rez to a team invulnerability ult that functions like sound barrier, like 3-4 seconds of full damage blocking. And so that the ult isn't just sound barrier but better, apply base speed boost and healing aura to everyone with the sound barrier shield on them for its duration.

move resurrection over as a bonus passive where she can resurrect a single fallen player at a time by interacting with their soul uninterrupted for like 4 seconds. This way she can revive if other players ignore her but otherwise wouldn't be able to revive in a team fight

Overwatch was NOT designed to be fun, or reward skilled players or anything else a video game should do. Everything about the game was designed to keep Reddit happy, and I'm not even strawmanning muh leddit boogieman, you can go on there and say you think Pharah should get a BFG and a shotgun and if enough retards agree the next update she becomes Doomguy.

Overwatch is the perfect example of how to take the best game in a long time and completely destroy everything good about it within the first 5 months. After the McCree nerf near the launch the game was perfect, and instead of rolling with that Bliz now does a OP broken hero of the month while nerfing everyone else.

This is a game where tanks don't have enough health to tank, healers can't heal enough, support (anna and symmetra) do more damage than DPS, and literally no one picks tanks and healers because of this. Every match is 3 snipers and the rest attackers.

>>383910704
This sounds awful.

>>383898028
This.
If you're complaining about a potential nerf to mercy, you're a fucking shitter. Mercy isn't even that problematic, the invulnerable rez is moderately annoying but she's shit other than that. Skill less hero.

Better then Lmao Rez from spawn.

Mercy should at least require some skill to use, taking a little power from her ult and moving it to a part of her kit as an ability you could use with help from a rein or orisa is better for game balance. And this way her ult would be a reactive counter ult with a potential for early use initiation like zen and Lucio which requires at least a little strategy in use.

Pretty much.

The hog nerf alongside the reaper buff was the nail in coffin for me.

I don't even play the hog, but seeing them just fucking rail a character decent players have no problem dealing with because of just people whining just made me lose motivation to invest in this game.

>>383910978
Are you joking me. it actually needs line of sight

What the fuck

My idea is to let Mercy self resurrect at 75% charge so she can stay in the fight and heal her team. I'm not a fan of hide and seek mercy, so letting her stay in the fight longer would be better. When she resurrects she'd lose all of her charge of course.

If you think Blizzard only balances for casuals, what would be some balance changes for pros? People love to complain without offering any solutions. Pros should be skilled enough to adapt to the game.

Thankfully you quit the game so there will be one less retard in it.

Good. Also: fuck you.

Here's a couple of novel ideas.
Firstly: Overwatch is a shit game. Blizzard doesn't understand how to make anything beyond a pure Skinner box at this point, let alone an actually fun game. Hearthstone, World of Warcraft, Diablo 3, Heroes of the fucking Storm. It's all trash, because they haven't actually innovated at all beyond new variants of the World of Warcraft level-up animation.
Secondly, Mercy is definitively one of the reasons that Overwatch is shit. You could immediately improve the quality of the game as both an FPS and a '''''''e-sport''''''' by simply deleting Mercy, along with every other healer and tank. The ONLY reason not to do this, is because you're actually playing Overwatch for the extended roster of sluts instead of the gameplay. Without 500 million layers of shield and regenerating health, the only way to win would be to git gud. The tank and heal half of the roster was probably invented by Blizzard's marketing dept. so that casuals don't die long enough to press Q and can feel accomplished in the periods between pushing their tits together for their Twitch audience or taking bong rips.
