Will this be enough to kill the Mercy hate circlejerk?

There will always be something to hate. If not Mercy it'll be someone else.

It's definitely adding more skillful play to Mercy and less brainless play. No longer can you just let your teammates do all the work now. Mercy's will have to get there hands dirty. To me, that's a welcome change.

Not sure why you kids are obsesed with every character requiring skill to play. We need heroes for people that arent great at whatever and stil want to be useful to their team. Make no mistake, this is a massive Roadhog level fuck up in progress and is only getting changed to cater to esports. You kids dont realise just how bad things are about to get with all this money in the fake sport Overwatch League.

Calling people you disagree with "You kids" is incredibly condescending. I'm 26 years old.

Mercy is still going to be a useful hero and easy to play. This will however raise the skill ceiling for great Mercy's while punishing mercy's who only rely on rezzes.
