So now that the season is underway, is she better or worse now? Would you consider this a nerf or buff?

You have to be right on top of people to rez them. It's worse. But this game is trash so fuck off.

No one cares

I like that she has to be right on top of them. Makes her more vulnerable and easier to kill.

I like the new playstyle more, hiding with a rez like a bitch was boring af.

She's neither better or worse, it was a balanced change but she just feels fucking weird to play as or against now since she has a completely different playstyle.

how close does she have to be? i played her in mystery heroes n couldnt figure out why i couldnt rez my team mates n now i see that its bcus i was too far

You have to be standing right next to them, like 5 feet away. And there is no immunity for you or them either. The immunity hits the hardest. She rezzes more consistently with no way to wipe a team kill now. It's a huge nerf.

I think it makes her too powerful and a must pick (though this is coming from a casual player). The tempo of instantly rezing someone is one of the most powerful things you can do in the game, even with the reduced range she can just hide behind whoever she rezs (or undo pick-offs if someone kills an ally from range).

She was already a must pick before the patch though.

buff. went from 3200 to 3650 in 1 night

Sure but now it's a constant presence rather than just "well we'd better stop her before she ults." Now her "ult" is always up and it will always revitalize pushes or keep holds alive because you're always in a 6v7 unless you can pick her off first.

No other healer can compete.

EVERY 30 SECONDS CAN RESURRECT?

WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING?

@391117771
stfu retarded memeposter.

@391117938

If youre retarded ass ever questions me again you'll fucking regret it. THIS IS YOUR ONE WARNING.

she can reverse a pick every 30 seconds, her ult makes her practically unkillable except if you're a hitscan god, ot lets her team hard engage like a lucio or zen ult and resets + lowers her rez cooldown

I would honestly say it's a little op imo, a healer should not be almost unkillable for 20 seconds lmao, zens ult as an example is only 6 seconds long

Much better in some ways and quite overpowered in others. If you lose a guy and it's 5v6 Mercy can make it 6v6 again which is great. It also means she can't rez the entire team anymore, which is the best thing that could happen to the game. No more hiding, no more forced deaths on point. Mechanically she requires more skill now and she's more fun to play.

That being said her ult is crazy. Too crazy if you ask me, her flying around for this hilarious amount of time, the ultra long range beams and that health regen is just too much. I'd nerf her ult but then again I think the rez range is way too short, so I'd buff that. She's much more fun to play now but she's not perfectly balanced yet.

>they made the "girlfriend class" required to be competitive

What the fuck

Your target is still immune.

no she wasn't, especially in pro matches

Ana/Zen were still as meta as she was, they were even dropped sometimes for Sombra

the only real must pick healer has and will always be Lucio

no, zen and lucio were far superior in a lot of instances and if your teammate can aim ana was the superior choice because of her antiheal

they've pigeonholed support players to now choose the least mechanically skilled hero in the game and its rather upsetting, as a zen main i refuse to play her because she's boring as fuck but now my team gets mad because "im throwing" by not picking her

any idiot moron can make Master without even the slightest bit of effort. T

>t.brazilian
I just play this game when im drinking or smoking just to fuck around, you have to be a nerd or a loser to get this game serious

One game of being reported by everyone will not get you banned. Neither will dozens of consecutive games.

Stop being a loud racist idiot and you might be able to keep playing your videogame.

Also stay in diamond.

DUDE WEED LMAO

Do us all a favour and plant some lead within that tiny grey mass that you call a brain.

Blizz cant meter

Huh. Maybe it's different in other ranks, but in diamond there was almost always a mercy on both teams and solo support mercy was pretty common.

Her ult just made McCree an amazing counter to her.

This.

How can you faggots still play this shitty game?

Please show me some real study that shows and prove what are you saying.

>Resurrect cd persists through death
>Swapping heroes resets the cd
Which one's the bug? How the fuck does this shit leave PTR consistently? What the fuck is Blizzard even doing during work hours?

>Delete Mercy from game
>Playing support takes skill again
>All the shitter Mercy mains quit
>All the shitter Girls quit
>Game becomes better than it ever was before

But it's a Blizzard game and they have to cater to every audience possible. Including quadriplegics.

Nerf.
Blizzard will never make a support better than Lucio because MUH DIVERSITY

PEOPLE WANT TO PLAY DPS

PEOPLE WANT TO WATCH DPS

THE GAME SHOULD BE BALANCED AROUND THIS

>>Playing support takes skill again
As long as Lucio exists this can never be a true statement.

being revived every single time I die now instead of having to wait for her ult is nice.

>DPS talking shit about supports
>DPS in overwatch
>DPS crying coz they want someone to play support so they can DPS

I dont even play overwatch but are all the DSP players in this shit that retarded?

Swapping heroes also resets her ult charge retard.

Fpbp

>still playing overwatch
LMFAO

>Game is still a vehicle for micro-purchases
It will never not be garbage. Stop buying and supporting games like this, you're actively contributing to the destruction of traditional games that are not made for the sole purpose of selling micro-purchases.

It must be a pain in the ass to play as Mercy because everyone is focusing her now. Killing a tank is pointless when she's around so people get fed up with her shit

>"im throwing" by not picking her
that is because they are retarded user. zen is one of the best chars in the game

Are you literally retarded?

its a buff unless you were a hide n rez kind of mercy then its a nerf

>actually wanting to go back to every shooter being the same fucking game with no color

Sup Forums can go fuck themselves.

>Implying I mind micro transactions which are purely cosmetic and in no way affect gameplay
I only payed 40 bucks for the game on release and got 4 new heroes, 4 new quickplay maps and 4 elimination/deathmatch maps several new game modes completely for free while retards fund all this by gambling for skins

I just went 8/2 in my placements playing only dps and turning off voice and text chat

She's better. In fact on lower ranks (sub-Masters basically) she's completely broken because people can't keep up damage steady enough to outdo tank raises (unless Mercy's team is so horrible they just die to a regular old snowball).

Of course a good Mercy is immediately obvious. Funnily enough, shit Mercy players that can't survive and make correct decisions worth dick are the ones that shittalk in the chat the most instead of just doing their job. Figure that.

New D.va is also ridiculous, while she did sacrifice quite a bit of tankiness, the rockets are fucking ridiculous when you play with your team and kinda cool when you fight alone - you can actually kill Symmetra before she W+M1s you now. It also contributes a fuckton for ult charge since splash damage counts for that so throw rockets into a stack ez ult. I got fucking FIVE full ultimates in one really long fight on Numbani B3 because of new Mercy and D.va, shit's retarded.

>Swap heroes to reset CD
>Now you've lost your ult charge
>The time it took for you to swap heroes and walk out of spawn means that your team was down a teammate and wasn't being healed
Yeah, what a great strategy

>neither better nor worse
>statistically is rez'ing DOUBLE the number of rez's as pre-patch
Wew, we educated in here, boys.

>>statistically is rez'ing DOUBLE the number of rez's as pre-patch
>unironically thinking this is the case

When does the current comp season end anyway?

>B-b-but they're only cosmetic!

Doesn't matter, the business model is the same regardless of whether or not they're cosmetic.

That's the problem, the business model itself. The way games make money is changing, now publishers make more with games that push micro-purchases than with those that don't. So it doesn't matter what the micro-purchases are, their presence and the fact that games now rely upon them for the bulk of their revenue is the problem. Instead of getting more "real" games, you get more vehicles for micro-purchases, because when games like OW are financially successful it tells other publishers that the business model is viable. Selling cosmetics is now more important than creating a content-filled game with good gameplay, because the latter doesn't make $1 billion while the former does.

Honestly his best streams in a while.

>bronze mercys average almost the same amount as grandmaster anas

>more important than creating a content-filled game with good gameplay
they've been doing that for ages now without micro transactions

Your target is immune you dumb lying nigger.

The ones who voted hero shooters are the ones that bought into brown and bloom age of video games

Top 10 battlemercy reporting in

Shes worse because but better because .
Shooting with the pistol is now pretty much completely pointless because you have no self-dmg and cc immunity anymore and giving up chain-healing or chain damage boost is incredibly fucking stupid and inefficient. I think she needs to be improved by having a faster switch time between pistol and staff and a crit dmg multiplier on multiple headshots.

Otherwise, I dont really see a reason to ever use her pistol now unless absolutely nobody is hurt and youre a really far distance away and theres no snipers and theres no shield blocking and someone is around 100hp or you could maybe ult and burst say an ana or mercy down and then immediately flip back behind cover into chaining your teammates. The chaining is just too good in almost all scenarios to justify switching to your pistol. rip battlemercy Its funny shes better now at not fighting.

this. nobody fucking has any idea how to play mercy and Ive just been shitting all over everyone every single match Ive played except for the one where my teammate had a mental breakdown and kept throwing himself off the map

yes. Maybe 1 in 20 of my losses is a game where we lost because my teammates are of inferior skill or fuck up an ult or something. The other 19 is a loss because im solo healing and we have a roadhog as our only tank and 4-5 dps because every single person is a fucking autistic manchild having a mental breakdown because they cant play MUH BIG DICK DPS. And they dont realize that they are all fucking garbage with 5k average dmg and 20% and then they all cuss me out while Im mechanically shut down by a retard fucking mercy whos just standing there literally doing nothing hiding behind a shield while im doing some aerial DEJA VU guardian angel cancels with momentum drifting shit just trying to keep every one of these fucking retards alive

Ask a goy about to do all 10 placement matches as hanzo anything

What's your highest rank? How many hours on Hanzo do you have? How are you prepared for the inevitable salt and nerdrage flung your way?

>if you think one pile of shit smells worse than the other then that means you must eat up the less stinking shit gladly
you blame Sup Forums but you're just as much of a fucking retard

I didn't blame a singe person in my post.
They're really two sides of the same coin.

That's my point, that used to be how games made money, by being good games or fooling ill-informed parents with licensed garbage.

The last 10-15 years that's slowly been changing, with the advent of DLC and now micro-purchases the best way to make money with a game is not to make it a good one and sell it for $60 at retail, but to market heavily and implement micro-purchases. It's exactly how mobile games do business, and it makes assloads of money.

So it ultimately doesn't matter what the micro-purchases are, the game is trying to sell those first and foremost, because that's how the game will make its money. That's why saying "Well they're only cosmetic, so its okay!" is completely false. The object is to sell those cosmetics, the game is being made to make money selling cosmetics. The higher-ups who decide which games get made and how they get made want the most money out of them as possible, so games that sell cosmetics are at the top of their list of games to green-light.

It sucks ass but what is there to do about it? Only thing you can do is not pay money for cosmetics or don't support the games at all. I hate it as much as you do, user.

Plat, around 50 hours, and yes. I play for fun, the meta is so boring, i wish there were more characters to pick from with counters. Theres not much variety, you either play optimally by playing a small group of "meta" heroes or get reported for trollimg.

I think Zen needs a buff. His paltry healing is now nothing compared to MurderMercy.

The ability to heal two people and discord two people at once would be tops. Keep the healing and discord the same but have the ability to have multiple trains running at once.

Whatever happened to the whispers about giving Zen the ability to discord through shields? Was it just silently dropped and never mentioned again?

It was put on the PTR for a bit, people complained on the forums on how OP it was, so it never made it to the actual game.

They had it in the PTR and then removed it for some reason.
I mean that ability honestly doesn't feel that overpowered since it doesn't actually affect the damage to the shield and fucking Rein is never a poor strategy.

Well shit

Godspeed user

I want Mercy to buff my peepee

>It sucks ass but what is there to do about it?
Be vocal about how shitty it is and yell at morons who say stupid shit like "It's just cosmetic, so its okay!"

Speak with your wallet, be informed, be vocal, don't just sit by and shrug it off. Call stupid people out on their stupidity, if I can convince one person every time I rant on Sup Forums that micro-purchases are shit and are ruining games, I'm doing something positive.

I admire your drive, I've just given up. In general.

I wish mercy was real

>tfw you will never be as clueless as this guy is about the game industry

Mercy is a must pick now. It's pretty much 6 v 7 if the other team has her and you don't.

Why is Blizzard so shit at balancing?

My performance with her has gotten better but I swear to god the people I play with have gotten worse

They're just so bad at dps it negates any healing I do
