i get why it was added cause mercy 1.0 was and is boring to play, she was a 1 dimensional character and with mass rezz you had times where mercy would disconnect in fights. i had a chuckle at that part because in season 4 that is what mercy was but many felt discontent that ana was still dominating the GM level. which after the new meta had formed would have sorted itself out.

3. to be if you want to win you use the best strategy avaliable that is why in Master and GM eta comp’s and strategy matter more.

mercy was dominant in 99% of the community’s game so of course it would reach the top/ also this mercy strategy was easy to implement in every SR range at it take no real coordination or skill.

4. is that not what the community has been saying but many mercy mains will not listen. people dont like mass rezz and it is not fun.

5. not really, added with fact that people stopped playing as mercy to later on use the rezz mechanic has lead blizzard to change something. it was not 1 aspect but 2 aspects.

6. lets take away the SR exploit and focus on the core which is. how can blizzard buff and ability that is generally unfun. the reason people did not mind before was all due it being hard to pull off.

mercy’s problem was not theSR exploit but rather because she is so simplistic yet has more impact than other heroes, which if played with or against never feels good.

7. lets just say i agree that mercy is known as the character who can rezz but i the rest i cannot agree with.

8. you dont seem to get it, those that want valk a_re those that generally want rezz removed completely_ and that is why i could not agree on point 7 fully. here is the issue but because mercy is so iconic, many dont really wish to say it or voice it out.

9. first mercy was a troll pick because she could heal multi tanks. iff the mercy main would had patience she would have been fine in dive or certainly better than ana ever was in dive. sorry did you miss the no damage time. also if with tweaks mercy would still have issue of hide and rezz. you know what is funny. it is the mercy mains themselves who you used that term( to get pitty, so she could get buffs in s3).

10. well what do you expect would happen if one of the most simplistic characters, has one of the biggest game changer moves, is getting too meta, is much better and easy to gain results from than her direct counter part.

did you think there would never be a backlash and everyone would be happy go marry about that fact?

IMHO i think that is the third and silent reason mercy got a rework as the devs saw how much dislike mercy received since she became more meta since her damage reduction buff.

the reason i am saying this is because that is how lucio was essentially was reworked on in order to make him more engaging. which in the end worked out.

11. not a revert, not a how she is now but what mercy will need is another rework. it still will remain to see how they balance rezz, imo they should remove or mercy can never be placed highly in the ow community and that wont change.
