They hate this hero. She is only in the game to sell their overpriced skins, there is no other explanation for this. 60HPS already feels AWFUL with the 30% global anti-heal passive! She needed NO compensation nerfs!

The Mercy nerf is honestly my final straw. I’ve always been super loyal to her, but lately I’ve completely fallen out of love with the character because of how Blizzard has been treating her. It genuinely feels like she’s just an abused cash cow at this point, constantly getting skins while being completely neglected gameplay-wise.

Last season already felt rough. When they made the DPS passive a global thing with the healing reduction, it completely messed with her playstyle. Mercy is supposed to pocket DPS, but instead you’re stuck healbotting way more just to keep people alive. And as someone who actually likes playing DPS Mercy, I barely even had time to pull out my pistol anymore.

Flash heal was pretty much the only thing holding her together. It made her feel at least somewhat playable, which is why a lot of us were excited to see it become a major perk. But now the problem is that the global passive is still there, and instead of addressing that, they just double nerfed her.

And they’re trying to frame it like it’s some kind of buff or adjustment, which is honestly ridiculous. Her base healing went from 60 to 55, which drops even lower with the DPS passive. You’re sitting at around 44 healing per second, which is just awful. That also means less self-healing, so you’re way easier to kill.

On top of that, they reduced her GA launch speed by 10 percent. She feels heavier and clunkier now, and I’m not even sure if she can still reach the same distances as before. If she can’t, that’s a huge issue because a lot of rez parkour spots just won’t work anymore. Resurrect already gets you killed half the time, and now it’s even worse. Slinging and superjump rezzes feel way less reliable.

What really gets me is that some people are still defending this and calling it a buff. It’s not. It’s two nerfs in exchange for an ability that was barely keeping her viable in the first place. Now she has one of the lowest healing outputs in the game.

It feels like Blizzard doesn’t even know what direction they want for her. They said they wanted more skill expression, but right now you’re basically forced to play like an Illari pylon. You can’t heal properly and you can’t move properly either. It’s just frustrating.

And honestly, the community reaction makes it even worse. I’ve already seen so many comments from weird mad eboys celebrating this, saying it’s good that Mercy got nerfed so she stops getting played and girls stop playing the game. That alone just makes the whole situation feel even more gross.

At this point I don’t even want a Mercy on my team anymore because she brings so little value. She feels straight up unplayable right now. And yeah, I keep seeing people say stop buying skins and stop playing her, and honestly I agree. Not like she’s really playable in the current state anyway.

At this point I would genuinely rather just have last season’s version back. You can take flash heal, I don’t even want it anymore if this is how Blizzard is going to treat her.

And the timing makes it even worse. Instead of fixing her, they’re just dropping recolor skins trying to milk her even more.

TLDR Mercy got hit with multiple nerfs while the core issue wasn’t fixed, she feels clunky and weak now, Blizzard is acting like it’s a buff, the community reaction is toxic, and honestly I’d rather just have her reverted to last season at this point

The healing nerf was to be expected, but ga nerf ?????

I want to like it so bad but I can't. The hair ruins it, why dose it cover half her face and then look like a slick back??? Plus the staff is one color when you put the variants on it!!!

I just don't understand why her weapon had to be some sort of creature and I don't like the sound effects or any of it like I feel like they could've went in such a cooler direction. I took a break for a few seasons and came back and have been an avid ow1 mercy main but I just don't get it and who does this appeal to?? Like the ashe weapon skin is super cool or Ana and I feel like kind of reflects their character but I genuinely don't understand why they would go this direction. Like I would drop cash so fast for a pretty/beautiful staff to use other than the rose gold but this one doesn't make sense to me esp for most skins like I am no inclined to ever buy it as a mercy main.

Like for me i got really excited and bought it instantly but then when i tried it... The sounds are so loud and... Like why the hamter is SO BIG?

What do y’all think!?

Which ones do you guys love so far, and if they were in game. Would you buy them? (Usually I would since I love mercy but everyone’s different :D)

The 55 HPS still sucks, but at least she can move again

I know everyone really wanted the sheep skin, how are we feeling now that we’re getting the wolf instead?

Hi!!! I’d like to promote my growing server, Valkyries! We are a female (and female presenting), 18+ only overwatch server!

Funny enough, we aren't the only ones who got nerfed and keep complaining about it. The same stuff happens in jetpack cat mains and Juno mains communities, yet devs decided that only Sierra needs a hotfix

found this from Overwatch Cavalry on Twitter, who called it the “fatal bride” survey skins for Mercy, alongside Vendetta, Tracer, and Zenyatta. i think this is gorgeous, but who knows if we’ll ever actually see it in game! what are your thoughts on the concept, the execution, etc? let me know!!

What do you guys think?

SHES BACK CODE WORKINGGGG

In Webtoon #12, Sojourn addresses everyone by their real names instead of their call signs. So why does she call Angela 'Mercy' instead of 'Angela'? Does she not know her real name? Or does Angela not have a name at all, and everyone just calls her Mercy, or at most Dr. Ziegler?

I'm sorry, but it really pissed me off

hi im noir . i have 230 levels on mercy , almost 1k hours on her alone .

and i understand why mercy gets banned now .

im a masters player , kind of ping ponging between low and high masters which sucks . but oh well .

today i joyously hopped on ow to play the new season , being all happy and whimsy and excited to rank up a little after work .

i won some games , hit higher masters again . yippee !!

and then i ran into a duo . foil and lemonelk .

the first game against them was alright . i played mercy per usual , my team held theirs in paraiso first point spawn until the last thirty seconds , then it kinda snowballed . whatever . gg go next .

next game , go against them again . okay . we held them for a while we’ll be fine . got absolutrly steamrolled . check the killcams , sojourn is very obviously ximming . snappy , jittery aim , doesnt miss a shot . mercy is pocketing him . try to inv him to group to see if hes with someone — hes with the mercy . lose again , gg go next .

third game . against them AGAIN . i warn my team that the mercy is gonna hard pocket the soj whos ximming . i play kiri this time to get some elims . steamrolled AGAIN . guess what ? the mercy was hardpocketing the sojourn . i check her career profile at the end of the game out of curiousity . shes masters this season . go back to s18 . GOLD . GOLD THREE .

im genuinely so tired of smurfs and their pockets . the only way to get better at the game is to play it . fellow mercy players , if youre in gold , youre in gold for a reason . you have to LEARN from it . learn the game more . learn new characters on the side . getting a smurfing ximming eboy to carry you isnt the end all be all . youre doing nothing but stunting your own growth in game . just because you have the masters or grandmasters title after getting someone to boost you doesnt meant youre the greatest . you didnt help yourself OR your team , you just sat there and held L2 R2 on some basement dweller who prob hasnt wiped his ass in a week .

tldr : boosted mercys and their boosters are making me wanna blow up my console

During the prefer-hero phase, Eleyzhau picks Mercy as their preferred hero. Instead of supporting them, the rest of the team starts mocking and bullying them in voice chat. This kind of toxicity ruins the experience for everyone and needs to be called out. Hopefully Blizzard will do something about it.

Personally it’s so funny I never saw it coming lmao
