"God I need kuwana so bad"

[karuoke]

Sorry if you're tired of the Mercy thing. Just wanted to say that as a healer main I had really not liked playing Mercy before The Patch. It felt like doing too much while doing too little. It kinda felt like cheating. And being on the opposing side of a big rez was really defeating to see. Like you'd have the whole team plan out finally getting the other team and then... too bad. So in that way I was (still very much am) looking forward to Mercy rework. (1/2)

That said, I really don't like the current Mercy. In total honesty the way current Mercy works gameplay wise looks pretty good. I like that there's still a rez but it's not as horrid as it was before and the chain healing is really cool! My biggest issue (and the reason that I really hate The Patch) is that it really ruined Mercy as a character. Blizzard had crafted her to be and built her up to be a massive pacifist.However, the way she is now in the game is most definitely not a pacifist. Before The Patch, she was a fighter but you could believe that it was forced. She was there for the healing. A lot of Overwatch's character development is done by in game voices/actions/etc. And I could believe that with Mercy. Her gun was secondary (ie: she preferred to heal) and her voice lines were about patching up and don't die on me now kinda stuff.But The Patch gave her a real obvious in game boost (via valkarie) to be a shooter. Combined with her changed in game voice lines (the fight's not over until i say it is, etc.) she doesn't seem like a pacifist anymore. It's actually leaning her more into the "doctor heals so you can fight and nothing more" territory that people played with but didn't make sense for her. Till now. The dichotomy between "Blizzard says" and "game says" is ruining it for me, i guess. (that's it, really sorry.)

Hm, I’m not sure I can agree. I deffinitely agree with the first half, her mass rez was devastating being on the other end of, it was jsut too much effort wasted because you lost the hide and seek game. I like the direction they are heading with her know, she’s still not there and she’s still very powerful, but it’s a good direction.What I don’t agree much is that mercy as a character changed according to her players. mercy’s in-game passive agressive lines about “you’re welcome” and “questionable judgmenet” just resembles the behavior i don’t like in mercy mains, the “you should kiss the ground bellow my feet because i healed you” and “i died because you’re stupid!” kind of approach. also speaking of mercy players, they were always crying about how defenseless mercy is and how the whole team needs to protect you all the time. with the changes, they listened to both sides- her ult was too much, and she’s more independent/mobile now. her main focus is still healing. thanks to valkyrie, people just found out she has a gun and then called it OP, but in every match i had, people use her ult primary for healing and rezzing and jsut being all over the point. the battle mercy was just a short post-change fun.also i wouldnt focus too much on in-game stuff with lore stuff. mercy always felt like “guess i need to go healing again *sigh*”in fully mobile flying valkyrie suiot while old fragile ana is there on her feet, throwing grenades at people and sniping, never whining about having to heal. yeah that’s it, to me mercy is more whiny than this perfect sunshine doctor. but even then- you have characters like junkrat who mental projects into his tire, how does that connect with lore in any way? zenyatta wants nothing but peace yet his ability is sending out orbs causing harm, bastion is a ptsd robot that doesnt want to fight anymore yet he’s a killing machine. there are just things that need to be sacrificied in the lore for the gameplay.I understand your frustration, I just see it from a different perspective, maybe because i don’t like mercy as a character, don’t like her in game and her players are the worst experience for me in overwatch...
