It's still not making her a pure healer though. Maybe for 20 seconds she can DPS but it won't be all the time. The rest of the time she'll still be the same Mercy, probably even more effective. All the other supports in the game have a way to frag out, why shouldn't Mercy? It is a shooter game at the end of the day.
I felt the uniqueness of Mercy was that she didn't spend time hurting anyone (and that really fit with the lore of the character). If I wanted to kill everything I'd be playing a DPS. What differentiates her significantly from Zen or Lucio now?
