i really am feeling for tank players rn. ur poor hog was just getting obliterated by all that damage. Their rein also did an amazing job creating space and pressuring ur team. This was a really great match
It really feels with the current DPS passive only tanks with a way to block dmg long enough for the debuff to wear off are any good. Hog is basically anti healed at all times and you'd have to be very special to miss him. Rein's dmg thresholds didn't really change either. It's still 3 hammer swings, 1 charge etc for a kill. Aggressive Reins tend to win right now.
I keep hearing this and all I can think is there are already so many visual indicators in the game for different effects that it can be overwhelming. Like I quit for a few months and then came back and found it so hard to get used to again. I don't disagree I just don't know how they'd do it with all the other visual cues in the game so that it doesn't cloud up the screen
@@loohoo2210 fr like what if theyre ana darted AND slow heal??? eye sore for sure. the game is overwhelming when i come back to it. i havent played in forever though because i hated the constant changes with what felt like zero rewards. also how hard it is to find friends to play with now since you cant start groups anymore :(
Lot of people like that this season. I don't think they really read any the patch notes or video's to see what changed. So they just see they are dying faster and blame others.
Even with healing nerf I still like playing mercy. The tiny ga buff and 50 extra hp gives her more survivability. Now it’s even more important to hold down damage boost during fights and heal when your target isn’t fighting
mercy is so much fun still, i’ve been having really good games. i’ve been seeing lots of people saying she’s bad this season but maybe it’s just perspective 🤔
It's because it's become a lot easier to overwhelm targets that mercy pockets now that the new dps passive is in the game & lessens her healing. Supports that can go for picks & take their own fights seem to be more popular rn, especially zen since he melts tanks.
shes fun to me always but maybe its bc my duo and i play in high plat/low diamond and we get queued with absolute bozos who dont know cover or when to attack so its kinda annoying esp w the new hit box and projectiles😢 i guess most of the community is around that ranking which also contributes to the many factors that may make her feel "unfun"? idk😭😭
Mercy is definitely bad atm, a lot of players are talking about how this patch highlights how a lot of Tanks and DPS don’t know how to position themselves properly and utilise hard cover like they should do. In a lot of cases Mercy’s healing just isn’t enough to sustain most heroes that are being bombarded with shots and the reduced healing from the new DPS passive. With the shift in the power of healing there’s a greater emphasis on individual contributions and eliminations, Mercy doesn’t really offer much in the way of either of these. Damage boost is definitely better in this patch but from my own experience Sombra and Tracer are incredibly popular atm in ranked so it’s not as if you can really play to the strengths of damage boost and thus it’s better to just not play Mercy.
I understand blizzard is just trying to balance the game but the new dps passive is just so frustrating it’s definitely harder to keep teammates alive, hope they can find a way to balance it without making mercy heals bad
The passive is GREAT, especially for us mercies. If forces people to take cover. Before, if a DPS (or tank for that matter) died while facing 2+ enemies they'd blame the healers. Mercy on their team? She should swap to someone with better hp/s! Now even the densest players have to learn that not even Ana-Kiri or Ana-Bap can keep you alive in a scenario where the whole enemy team has LOS of you and only you. Plus as Eley points out, resurrections are both a little easier to pull off and also have even more impact. "Triage" is often a winning strategy. Res is faster than a full heal, and it can be devastating if the enemy has just used all their cooldowns to secure a kill.
I feel like I don’t get the fun to dmg boost as mercy this season. So fricking hard to top any one up, everyone is constantly on crit health so I have to just heal heal heal 💀
i feel like blaster mercy is actually leaving meme territory. It was already kinda good to deal with widows if u had a good angle but now i feel like u can valk and just shoot a zen down, maybe force his ult, especially because he is so strong rn
I’ve already determined after I get mercy jade I will not be playing support comp unless there’s big changes that happen mercy, and a ton of supports just feel bad. I know overall the changes were really good but it’s just rough feeling like you have no real impact anymore. Then god forbid you have play with a hog and have to be attached to him at the hip or he just falls over. The worst is people that think mercy got buffed she really didn’t she got normalized if she didn’t get those adjustments she would quite literally be unplayable with the dps passive
i’ll be honest, i’m really liking mercy this season i personally love how dps feel like they have more impact meaning I can have more impact too even pulling out the pistol feels nice that i can defend myself easier maybe it’s bc in a low rank mercy but i’m still enjoying the game
Mercy has been super hard to play lately because of the nerf, I feel like it’s too much and I always feel like I am NOT healing at all and my team is always low and since I can’t heal as fast anymore I can’t keep everyone up which SUCKSSSS because then I’m blammeddddd!!
Oh gosh that was so bad though when she only healed like 40 to ppl above critical. I thought it caused more ppl to die because she could never fill them up and they would get killed by almost anything. If they gave her that healing without taking away from her normal heals it would be great though.
Just wanted to say your my fav mercy on RUclips no talking just tips and great gameplay! Love the content! But yes mercy feels so sad to play this season but I’m just being a blue beam queen shooting nukes from the barbie blaster 😭😂
surprised the ball tracer zen comp at the last match didn’t work. Thats like huge meta rn, and htf did rein work lol ig meta isnt really that big of a deal huh
You're not supposed to heal in combat and out-heal the damage. What you're doing is giving that player another 100hp or so for the fight. I for one welcome our new less healbotty meta.
@@andreewert6576 youre 100% supposed to heal in combat, thats when they lose health. you heal AFTER the fight if you win it. you cant win it if theyre dead cause you didnt heal them. heal botting is only using yellow beam, not using yellow beam when its needed in fight.
@@EllaRose-t2yi absolutely *do* heal during a fight. It's just that people expect heal (esp. mercy heal) to overpower incoming damage. It doesn't, most of the time. You keep your target alive, you heal when they are reloading or repositioning, but expecting mercy to meaningfully fill health bars during incoming damage has never been wise. Now it is the case 20% more often.
@@andreewert6576 i didnt say expecting her to overcome incoming damage and completely fill a health bar. i said that you DO heal during combat because you said otherwise. its not impossible to make a mark with heals while mid fight. also, the person you responded to didnt say anything about what youre talking about. regardless, she definitely did more before. which was their point.
Guys, I would like your opinion on a rework idea for Mercy: E: (Halo) 15s cd each halo 1 halo:for 3 seconds it prevents an ally from dying 2 halos: ressurect an ally half life. If used on Mercy herself it increases her healing by 30% and Guardian Angel cooldown resets. (You can accumulate up to 2 halos) Range: Mercy caduceu's beam if the ally is connect If not 8 meters. Q- Increases healing by 40% for low health allies. Duration reduced from 15 seconds to 10. Leaves her with a total of 4 halos. The other skills I don't think need severe changes, just some for her quality of life.
This season is kinda fun so far i just feel its hard to grind because i am getting 10 to 13 min que times almost EVERY game and im only in master 4 right now. Is the game dying because i used to que way faster than that in Top 500.
Idk mercy is actually pretty iffy. It just seems she is forced to lose a lot even with insane healing and assists or it is just terrible matchmaking. It seems like squishies are so likely to die while being pocketed.
Yes, she's fun. Not as blatantly OP as it was half a year ago, but way better than after they nerfed GA. Mercy movement feels in a good spot and that's coming from someone who mains her as support. DPS will still say she's too mobile.
Thank you so much for the reply. It was a sad day when GA was nerfed and ruined the mobility for me, finally is good again. Really appreciate the info!!@@andreewert6576
I don't understand, I'm not saying I'm the best mercy but I have so many games where I have 0 deaths, most healing and I damage boost THE HELL out of my DPS and occasionally the tank if needed. I am not narrow sighted, I don't pocket just one person whole game. The amount of times, I have saved the game with a rez, Valkyrie, I even take it into my own hands sometimes where I kill enemies like widow and get back to my team safely. Ill rez behind walls to be safer and I know almost all the passage ways and escape routes for mercy using her wings/glide. I use souls to escape from enemies if I am outnumbered and my team is waiting to respawn. I have stacked with MANY people and even randoms and they tell me I'm a really good mercy. Ill switch occasionally if needed, for example if we need a kiriko ill switch for her cleanse. I had a top 500 player watch my gameplay and even she said I was good. Ofc she criticize some things, and I've learned to not do certain things again. I even watched videos for tips on mercy AND I DO ALL OF THEM ALREADY. And I am still stuck in plat. The amount of times people were shocked by my rank suspecting I was much higher is insane. I do everything you do and I cant even reach diamond support I'm confused. Like i said im not perfect, there are games where I have bad positioning or im to high up in the air with no cover which causes me to die to an ult like soldiers or sojourns. Those are things i can always work on and avoid but besides that Id say im a good mercy. I looked at my stats and my heal/ boost beam usage overall is 50 - 50. My damage boost in most games are a bit higher than my heal beam. I might have 40-60 and some games are flipped. I also watched a video giving advice for each rank, a guy said for plat, keeping track of ults. Thats not something I started to 100% do yet but it is something that I keep in mind. I have a mic and I keep communication with my teammates if they do decide to join the voice channel.
Its hsrder to play this season because healers got debuffed as ive been told but ppl forget theres med packs and stuff around u cant fully depend on a healer anymore if she cant focus on u find another way to heal for now
well thats the problem, you cant rely on health packs mid fight unless youre in an area with them. leaving the fight early to run for a health pack is like dying mid fight. thats why people are upset, theyve taken the ability for supports to do what theyre supposed to do. i havent played in months and its hard keeping up when im not interested and also since theres constant changes which is what it sounds like, but after looking it up, i do agree that the dps passive is really crappy because EVERYBODY is getting hit mid fight and if everybody pulls back then youll lose the game. its now a matter of making sure your team doesnt die first instead of what it used to be, which was the same thing in simplified terms of course but you get the point.
Honestly I'm scared for this season I feel like playing mercy is so hard and so different. I'm okay with the new passif of the DPS but 10% is very very strong I was hop mercy get a heal buff but not really so I need to modify a big part of my gameplay of mercy
You used to be able to keep the team alive with Valk before and had a decent defensive utility but now more than ever i think you just have to focus on being agressive with it, almost treating it like a mini nano lol Also, i feel for tanks, really, but they just gotta accept that even if both supports were playing main healers there will be times they'll just get crushed even with double pocket 😪
bro dived for the rezz and took the hanzo ult like a f dipping sauce
