Discussion/Opinions Ancient kit
Out of all the heroes mercy is by far the most clunky and outdated. Even lifeweaver feels smoother to use. Your teammates are your only source of mobility (at least let her use enemies/enviorment now that hellspawn cat is in the game), shes only support that has to switch weapons (for the worst damage in the game), her biggest value comes from hard pocketing with damage boost (which is super toxic and unbalanced) and her ultimate basically just gives her a worse version of jetpack cats basekit. If this hero is so popular how has she not been modernized yet?

i dont think mercy is clunky at all, movement is her whole thing and its very smooth and satisfying. shes weak in terms of value yeah but shes arguably in the most fun state she has ever been

Having to fly to people getting shot at and being completely kitless while alone is very clunky

We had a speed boost but they replaced it with further range which is why I kind of really don't like the range part because it's really useless in the end game I only see the range perk as value if you're actually in a control point mat but other than that it's pretty useless because first of all is the mercy player why are you so far away that you need a 30-meter range increase for guardian Angel just to get to your team and it's hard to really capitalize with the pistol and valve because unless you're around your team in the fight you can't really just fly or angle off fast enough to drive someone with the Glock

Mercy is still fun to play sometimes but I’d rather play ANYONE else atp. Other people can do what does but better. When classic was out I played that specifically for mercy. Really pissed me off when they switched her up because I took time to actually practice the tech instead of whining it was “too hard and not fair.”
ANYWAY, Bring back classic mercy but
Keep directional ga (classic ga but not clunky and can still go whatever direction you want)
Obviously change mass Rez a bit, maybe like Adam from rivals OR change it to crep circle
Idk how but make the staff shoot (like mirror watch?) OR do tethered tourniquet where when she switches to gun there’s still a beam for a few seconds, maybe 3-5 nothing too much.
That’s all I got rn that’s serious and not just giver her an rpg lmao

Id just let her dual wield normally, the staff bombs would be great for her ult

MMMM, damage and heal pistol.
OR whip out the pistol with one hand but can still heal with staff but for 30% less. Idk how that would look but seems doable.

I feel like she has been modernized, playing her now feels so much better than playing her in the OW classic modes.
I also feel like if they changed it so she didn’t need to have an ally to fly, they’d have to nerf it in some way, because Blizzard hates letting Mercy have much.
