Hey everyone! How are you getting along with Mercy's changes?
I feel empty inside. Nothing can tame the raging void inside my soul. If only the GA cooldown was a second and a bit shorter then I could guardian angel away from the emptiness.
The changes are quite difficult to get used to because of my muscle memory and I am losing a lot, but I think she's quite strong still
It is so boring to play I’d rather every part of her kit nerfed then this ga cd change. It’s not unplayable but wow it’s a snooze fest to play.
GF is still mad.
Also still waiting for continous healing when she ults.
i don’t find her a lot more difficult, but definitely sluggish, unintuitive, unrewarding, and most of all more boring :( really really sucks :(
Hurts my soul that mercy is now a stand behind a wall and hold a button character. They really managed to take all the fun out of playing her
i absolutely agree :(
That's how alot of players used her anyway, especially in Ow 1. The problem was that this crazy new movement was all Blizzards idea to make super jump more accessible. Then they go and nerf it. Idk who they are balancing for.
i remember this was the only way to play mercy in ow1, her entire gameplay was just hiding 😭
@hollow4159 idk, I think her OW1 mobility was pretty good I didn't feel like I had to hide a lot but the extra second on GA makes OW2 GA worse than OW1 I think especially because in OW1 she could do the instant close range superjump and I miss that a lot lol.
@@silasd7348 I’m so use to the super jump mechanic in season 1 and 2 having the time of my life. Then I did what I usually do hang a bit off the map to stay out of the fight then that one extra second of cool down I fell off the map lol😅…embarrassing
6000 damage amplified but will you amplify the voices of the Mercy Mains upset with these changes
You can tell from the queue times that supports aren't playing as much this season.
I’ve adapted to the changes, and I enjoy the healing changes but she’s really not as fun as she was. And I’m seeing people really upset about the healing changes so I’m a bit scared that they will nerf that too
if they nerf that she'll actually just be a bad character imo
Yeah I just want the consistent 55hps and movement back, she felt more impactful, proactive, and consistent then. I love the Valk 90hps but I feel like it rarely gets put to use when I valk and it's surprising teammates still die more often than you would think with 90 hps even when used in a 5v5 but that's to be expected I guess.
As it stands Mercy would benefit from a revert, back to how she was before the season 3 update. Then they could nerf GA in a way that doesn't make her unplayable / boring or do something else
@@dankdilly tbh i kinda like the 50% healing increase change when low health, but imo they need to keep that and revert back to the 55 hp/s or maybe 50
Fr i was playing last night and one of my dps was getting focus and i managed to keep them alive and after the fight someone said "what are these mercy buffs" and i got targeted bc i couldn't keep up with our soldier😭
wow, 6k damage aplified is impressive, especially in ow2 with one less tank. the most i got was around 8k, but it was in ow1
Whoa, 8k is so good!!
Man, I’m struggling to get 2k. How 😭😭
@Gojo Sensei If ur low elo they don't even put out enough damage to amp lol
@@moommoom6915 unfortunately you're so right😭
@@tuy3tnhuI actually disagree here and I'll explain why. yes obviously getting over 4k is ridiculous and generally not possible in lower ranks outside of specific situations. but over 2k is very very doable, but it requires intentional decisions and creativity. it's about looking for specific opportunities for damage boost, not just waiting for your dps to do enough damage. little things like damage boosting a Moira orb because you're tracking their cool down and boosting Rein fire strikes because you're paying attention to when they drop their shield - these little things add up on top of the consistent damage from your dps. and when you're in lower ranks, you're going to be missing out on tiny little moments of damage boost that also add up.
so while crazy high numbers do depend on your team doing crazy amounts of damage, getting over 2k consistently is very possible for lower ranked players. it just takes creativity to find opportunities to maximize your beam usage.
Am I the only one wishing they tested this on the PTR first? Just even a week before, so they could get people's opinions both before _and_ after actually giving them a try?
The "stay behind the wall and use GA conservatively" used to only be a thing when you played against good snipers, now every match is like that
I've stopped playing her this patch. Like you mentioned, I think she is still good, but she just feels really unfun. GA is sluggish, and I'm finding it harder to keep up with Pharah/Echo players in the sky. A part of me hopes they revert these changes and look into other ways to alter her playstyle or powerlevel. These changes seem like a swing and a miss. On the brightside, I've found a love for Kiriko now instead 🙂
Edit: Perhaps they should go back to using the experimental mode so situations like this don't happen anymore. I don't know any other AAA game that just doesn't utilise a test server before patches.
Agreed. This should have been an experimental mode thing first, not just "here! Deal with this! :)"
Fr when i played my first pharmercy it was SOOO bad it was terribly slow and unfun
Great vid! I’ve been waiting for some well known mercy channels to post vod reviews with the new ga and healing. This helps a lot, thanks! Good luck in season 3!
i honestly kinda like the healing change, but the ga nerf is soooo awful, i hope they change it back, but if they didnt i think buffing valk could make it feel more balanced, like first of all bring back constant regen in valk, and then maybe give a reduced ga time during valk, and/or a slight speed increase during valk
update on my thoughts, its not as bad as i thought, mercy gameplay feels much more boring now tho, got top 500 for the first time today tho so guess its working out for me
It was a random change.
But as a mercy main with 800+ hours, I found it refreshing to play her differently.
Her ga is where it hurts at times, but I find myself moving around and my awareness to want to survive longer went up due to being harassed more lol.
I feel the same about how Mercy's changes aren't a complete destroyer..
How she is now makes me a lot more focused, and I feel like I help my team a lot more.. so It's much more strategic for me, as a non-comp player. It feels like the teams I'm on care more about my limitations now as well, but that may just be a product of all the talk surrounding mercy's changes now.
I also feel like I make even more crucial decisions than before, and I've personally felt Mercy's always been a decision maker in games. Since choices on who I follow weighs more heavily now, and the wrong choice means more time wasted than before.
If they keep this, I just hope that they tweak it some more. There are instances where it's just far too punishing I feel.. and I miss how connected to the lore her flight felt. I felt like she was the Mercy from the comics and shorts with how freely she moved. I definitely want her other movement back, though. ..But it's adaptable and I can see the value that it can give me personally. I don't know about other mercy players, though.
I completely agree with you, the changes could be better, but they’re not terrible. Some Mercy players on Reddit are kind of being ridiculous about it though.. I just don’t understand how they could think these changes were a net nerf..?
@@DarkRhozuthe only real nerf is with guardian angel, the rest is ok, you shouldn't be healing much either
@@theevilbishop1445 with the buffs to her healing I'm capable of matching other supports' healing numbers with 25-40% heal beam usage.
@maelstorm71YT yes, I hit 214 last season as her and I think her heal beam will always be underrated especially since the main way for me to climb that high was healing so much and correcting others mistakes but I think her new mobility makes it a little harder for her to be an intense team healer that fixes positional mistakes.
I think if Valkyrie still had the old 1.5, backwards GA distance nerf was reverted, and the general GA cooldown started at the start of slingshot instead of after, this would actually be acceptable. I thought 2.5 would be an unplayable dumpster and it's just... not? I'd still prefer the old 1.5, but I'm not actually hating this. If I said this on reddit or twitter tho I would get chewed at from all sides tho lol
Thanks for still making these vod reviews. The insight is really useful and I'm totally gonna keep this in mind to improve
This video was so helpful! I love the VOD reviews, they really help me as a Mercy player understand positioning better. Great video Niandra!
my only issue with mercy is her ga cooldown, but overall im averaging 1 or 3 deaths each game
I love these in-depth VOD reviews, thanks!
I love these self-reviews so much. Thank you, and I'd love to see more
You have no idea how helpful this has been as a support main! I just love your commentary, your train of thoughts, your calmness and transparency! You deserve way more subs for all the knowledge and relaxing content! GG
A Niadra vod review? I love vod reviews! Definitely helps make for a nice day.
thank you for this video, after the ga nerf i completely stopped playing. you always seem to bring back motivation ! reminds me to always push myself to become a better mercy
Super informative and fun video 😊 and my ADHD thanks you for having the team colours in the corner can’t tell you how many times I had to check them
Watching this gameplay I've realized that to improve my mercy games, I've just got to learn a new playstyle. Thank you for that btw! But now I'm worried that we will have more hate toward us from unaware or just ignorant players saying how mercy is a character for noobs, that we are just holding one or two buttons from behind covers (which we now have to due to the changes to her movement). Gameplaywise, I think the changes are not bad but I believe that it will just make the overall mercy experience worse. Especially for solo queue or outside of the game.
Thanks for sharing this! I haven't played since season 3 started. I've been sad that her play style misses a lot of what I loved about her, but I have been missing the game. Hearing your thoughts process helps me understand the new mindset I'll need to have and probably will save me a ton of frustration from silly deaths.
I still struggle to get 1000 in one round 😅
It takes some time but I believe in you!
That's a great insight in how Mercy plays now, she's certainly really strong, even if much more sluggish to play.
I really really hope they won't abandon the "triage healer" direction they were trying to push for her and keep iterating further. She does need her GA cooldown reverted for that playstyle to make sense and synergize with her kit and the beam linger time, but it's so much more interesting for her than whatever limbo she has been left in these past years after the disaster that was her rework in 2017 has been watered down so much in order to balance it.
At the very least I hope they keep the 50% increased healing on critical allies during Valkyrie, it finally makes the ultimate feel, well, like an ultimate.
I'd much rather see nerfs to resurrect (or remove and replace it) and damage boost in order to compensate for the stronger healing and old GA cooldown to make her the best triage healer she can be.
I also love how you can push damage boost even more with the critical healing increase, gives her staff a nice gameplay flow (now match the movement to that as well and take power from elsewhere as needed)
oh man, I started playing overwatch and mercy in 2017, when she had valk but you could res two people during the ult lol it was so crazy but it was so fun. don't get me wrong, I have more fun now, especially as I've dedicated time and energy to improving, but 2017 was a wild time haha
Love your videos. How do you practice the movement drills seen near the end of the vid on Hanamura?
Just want to shout out to how awesome your videos like this one helps my Mercy improve from just being gold not able to climb back to plat yet.
You're my favorite mercy Trainer! Love your way of thinking with mercies skill being put to the test. :"3
I think it’s great that you show your mistakes. It is relieving that even the top players don’t play perfectly.
I love the art and little animations you do, they're so cute and adorable.
honestly respect to you for continuing to play mercy. Couldnt even stand to play with the nerfs and now i gravitate towards orisa now. it feels nice going from babysitting a team to getting meaningful damage in.
Niandra you’ve grown so much as a player. As a fellow mercy main, Back in OW1 I couldn’t relate to your content and I kind of stopped watching you cause of it.
But damn this is great mercy gameplay. Your strategy has evolved and I can see you have skill.
Looking forward to more of your videos :)
Always a pleasure to watch your videos! You're doing great after the nerf. Nice to see you found a way to fit in. I am very grateful to you for being openly on the side of Mercy almost like her lawyer, telling the truth about her nerfs and entering into discussions. This is not an easy role, I wish you strength and patience!
I want to ask, do you enjoy the game? I faced the fact that after the nerf I don't like playing Mercy. At all. I realized that regardless of whether the match ends with a win or a loss, I feel equally shitty. I don't know how to deal with it.
I've been playing Mercy (almost a vantrick) since season 3 and have a total of over 1700 hours on this character, my rank is master, but I play with friends who are platinum and with friends who have made it to GM. I don't mind having Mercy nerfed or balanced, but nerfing her base mobility mechanics is the worst thing that could be done to her. You need the guardian angel ability all the time, every second, because this is your only way to survive, and now you feel the horror of this nerf every second of your game. It's like breaking a leg. Every time you take a step, you feel limited movement and it reminds you of a nerf. It's a disgusting feeling. Therefore, the nerf of Mercy is not comparable to the nerf of any other character. Because the guardian angel is not a situational skill, like res or boosting. It is a base. It's like making the delay between DPS shots 1 second longer. Just imagine it! Yes, you can learn to play with this cooldown, you can be useful, sometimes even strong, and win. But even winning games feel nasty after such a game. It's like you won a prize but got punched in the face. And so every game! Yes, she was also given a buff, but this buff does not compensate for her losses, it only creates even more problems with her balance.
After all the years that I played this character, after all the reworks and changes that I went through with Mercy, I feel that I will be forced to stop playing overwatch, because it is no longer fun, in fact, every match is frustrating and annoys me, no matter how this match ends. I'm just disappointed in Blizzard. With this nerf, they show how indifferent they are to the feelings of their players. After all, they didn’t even nerf what most players complained about.
In general, I feel that I will need psychological help after this nerf xD
I miss flying around 😩
I was proud of my 4,644 Damage Amplified but here I'm impressed
I bow
I managed to break a new record for damage amped at 4k amped in my placement matches earlier today.
Honestly, the GA nerf was noticable in the beginning, but I've adapted to the changes pretty quickly and her staff and passive changes make her way more fun to play imo
I liked alot to play mercy before and I still like to play as her, but it now became a little harder for me since the cooldown of GA doesn't really make me think more but just scares because one mistake can kill me, and in addition to that the paasive change sometimes makes it a pain to play as mercy since people target me and not the one I am healing, which in turn doesn't give me any health so I am just dying not really able to do anything and my teammates of course, not always care about me...
but I am pretty sure that after I get used to the changes It will get at least a little bit better for me!
I’ve come from an Animetic/Sarah stream and it breaks my heart to see her so crushed by the Mercy nerfs, she’s been on a losing streak and it’s been rather disheartening to see her so upset. She has been my mercy inspiration for a long time now and she has called mercy a “throw pick” now and that I shouldn’t play Mercy anymore, seeing your idol who is a superstar at the hero that inspired you is a terrible feeling....Honestly though I have not touched mercy since the season launched because of the nerfs and fearing that she was going to be/feel bad to play now outside of Rez.
Best content creator on support in the OW2 community. Period.
Well played.
i dont understand why they are even changing mercy? people were mad at damage boost (because of sojourn) and rez (has always been a thing, if one shots exists, so can rez). IMO mercy didn't need any changes at all.
Adjusting is rough, but I'm getting there. I feel like watching my game replays is gonna be very beneficial for me especially in comp. I just hope Blizz realizes the nerf was kind of uncalled for and they fix it or tone it down in the mid season patch.
it sucks so much to see mercy as such as stationary n now the mobile gameplay im used to is just wrong, im really headstrong n hate staying on one place for more than a milisecond so i suffer for it with the new GA but hey thats always been the life of the main support, pain
I understand the complains about mercies guardian angle being to powerful, and even with the nerf its still one of the fastest cooldowns on a movement ability. But I think people forget that guardian angle is the ONLY thing mercy has for self defense AND healing.
Mercy has no ranged healing ability outside of valk, she has to close the distance, physically throwing herself across the map into danger to get the job done, whereas every other support can simply throw an object or bullet to do the same thing. The only character in the same category as mercy is Lucio, who HAS to be near everyone to heal or speed boost. Now imagine Lucio with a 2 second wall ride cool down, pretty fucking gross right?
then theres also the people saying guardian angle makes her to survivable, While forgetting that GA is quite literally the ONLY tool mercy has to stay alive in a fight. Her gun, even with the extra 5 ammo, is not comparable to what other supports can do in terms of fighting back, And with no self heal like moira orb or anna nade, she's a sitting duck without GA being off cool down.
Every other support has a means of defending themselves against flankers, mercy only has movement. by Nerfing that part of her kit, you nerf her only lifeline.
By far the best vod review. Instead of highlights showing what a perfect run would be, the reality of how GM thinks in an imperfect condition and still manages.
10:53 Killed me 💀💀💀😂😂😂
I’m in masters finally! solo queued the whole way, the importance of having a 2nd support who you trust is soooo important i found out
Nothing says pharmacy like the phara holding on to ult for way too long.
Reading these comments after the mercy changes this season, im glad I decided to take a break from playing the game. Hoping they revert this either mid season or at the latest next season
I aspire to be so alert and focused as you when playing mercy
The last little bit summarizes my experiences with playing Mercy: "[the match] was winnable" but I couldn't *make* my team do the right thing. I generally feel more powerful, with more agency, when I play other supports.
I wish my dps were hitting shots when I dmg buff them lmao
I've had a slow time learning how to take advantage of the GA movement. I'm way more careful with crazy dps. This patch has made me more conscientious as Mercy and learn how to easily do the super jumps. I will always love Mercy though, the extra healing is dope, Echo please be mad, it sustains me.
I think we shouldn’t praise this new healing because all it did was put mercy on par with the rest of the supports because she was generally weaker then almost all the supports in healing, her normal healing below 50% is the only healing that makes her on par with every other support she still has the weakest ult she heals 90 per second, but every other support does more, Moira 140 per second and 70 damage per second, and Ana with instant 250 with buffs (and slight resistance I think) zen 300 per second, bap 100- 140 per shot, Lucio 750 overhealth over a short period of time, and kiriko healing 130 per second normally but more with reload speed/shooting speed. Everybody but brig is still generally healing especially in ult.
Mercy’s ult isn’t just for healing.
Transcendence only heals and it lasts 1/3 as long and it leaves zen more vulnerable after
Coalesce only heals in a straight line
Nano is just a single 250 heal which doesn’t really compare well to sustained heal, and that heal isn’t really the point of the ult
Sound barrier is one of the best ults, but I don’t think you can compare it to any type of sustained heal either since it’s a single short defensive burst. It’s more like suzu than a heal.
Also, if you’re trying to factor in Kiriko’s fire rate, then she only heals for 72/sec and 108 during her ult (also one the best in the game). Everyone heals more in it though, including Mercy.
I’m not sure what your Bap number is supposed to be, but it’s definitely incorrect
@@SuperThest Mercy’s ult is not just for healing duh, but the direction they’re leading her character really makes it like that is what we should be doing instead, and I was simply stating how the healing only slightly made her on par in healing with other supports, not to mention can’t I just talk about one aspect of her ult jeez. I think I really important thing that needs be stated now is that impact is also a huge part about this. It doesn’t really matter if last 2.5 x longer or 6-15 seconds, Zen easily has a bigger impact since he heals way more 300 per second to 60 per second sometime 90, every support hero is vulnerable during their ult or after their ult, and zen is after the ult he can 100% live through his ult and or escape Mercy is extremely vulnerable during, and after her ult. Her regenerative healing no long exists during valk and her new passive only works if you are healing any missing hp, and that’s where her passive becomes useless because valk is often used as an escape because of flanker or people targeting you, but if you’re being targeted most of the time you team is not taking enough damage to actually use to sustain yourself so you die 10x way easier. I would agree with you in season 2 based of survivability during and after ult, but can not be the same for season 3. Coalesce isn’t locked in place you can move your screen around, and again it has way more impact because you can heal and damage at the same time, something mercy can’t do, everything she does, she can only do one thing at a time. Nano is not sustainable healing, yes, but people definitely use it for the healing. A lot of nanos are used as a defensive measure to keep their team member from dying, often being a tank, or support. The only time Ana doesn’t usually doesn’t use it for healing is when it’s planned for a dps ult such as genii nano blade, and this ult overall probably has the biggest impact in the game in my opinion, and I think a lot of people can agree. Lucio’s ult is not is not a sustainable heal yes, but it is an enabling ult which can allow for a push or healing of a critical health hero, and that makes it way more impactful then mercy’s ult which can sometime save somebody from death, but only if they aren’t being targeted. Kiriko is Kiriko and just heals a shit ton regardless of ult, and her ult is obviously better. My bad for the bap number, I was only 20 off
Lol they went full circle and put her back to hiding behind a wall like when she had mass Rez
it's affirming to know "stand still and hope the enemy doesn't notice me" is a viable tactic at higher levels too
this is very educational! as for the changes, I like that I have to adapt more and that makes it a bit more interesting, but also ughhh it's clunky
sensory issues during teammates all shouting calls in vc is a real struggle i feel ya 😭😭😭
Im new to Mercy and I think she moves amazingly smooth! Ive been surprised how much mobility she has!
mercy fly woosh woosh (please do not shoot me)
I just pray that they set her GA cooldown back and dont work on anything else so that everyone who doesnt has aim just goes feral
Now that her healing is more efficient with low-health targets, it feels like the game is definitely encouraging you to play riskier.
Her higher GA cooldown makes playing risky a really bad idea unless you like playing respawn simulator. There’s a reason everyone has started being even worse about hard pocketing a single DPS sitting in the back without coming forward and into the fight much since this change. The healing change just makes pocketing that much stronger because now nobody can kill your target without a ton of focus through her new healing on critical targets. And if they damage your target, you heal 25% of what you’re healing them as well. Just makes the Soujorn/Mercy duo even worse to deal with…
I've noticed the changes have made it hard to keep up with my fave pocket character, soldier. I honestly have lost a lot of desire to play mercy because everything in her kit reminds me she's supposed to be a certain way. These changes really just go against her kit. I don't have a problem with the heal change. But I do have a problem with the passive. Not being able to use res to save yourself sucks. Not being able to use it to pull off rezes is dumb since everything in her kit is meant to be buffed because of valk. But that movement bonus doesn't do enough to incentivise rezing in valk. The worst part of these changes for me is they ruined her appeal but still haven't fixed beam break during valk.
I have gotten use to the ga changes but do have to agree it did kill the fun a bit. Some people suggest nerfing other parts of her kit but that will just make her useless. Rez already can barley be use in fights becuz of the already existing limitations in place and tbh they give rez to much credit then it actually deserve. Other support abilities are way more impactful can save multiple people from death and it not punishing to use like rez is. I wish people would stop seeing Rez as a strong ability when compare to other abilities in the game it not. As for damage boost the only thing really keeping mercy viable and to contribute in the fight cuz her pistol ain’t doing much lol. Her healing changes tho I love and I think are really healthy for her and was a unique change that blizz did. But for people wondering why blizz might not have change dps boost and rez cuz one they probably know rez ain’t broken at all and 2 damage boost isn’t really a problem wasn’t in season 1 all the sudden sojourn needed a sugar mommy mercy pocket and boom people go crazy.
How long are we gonna keep saying "this game isn't fun to play" or "every update seems to take something from the experience" until blizzard listens
Could you please tell me how can I hide the names and statuses of players in the upper part of the screen during a replay? I tried to look for that option earlier, but couldn’t find it. If it’s in the option menu, which section do I need to look into?
Turn team banners off. You can also turn off enemy outlines and health bars if you want
i used to do 60/40 dmg boost to healing ratio, but with mercy’s new rework it’s reversed. any tips on how to get it back to where it’s supposed to be :(?
I just find it extremely discouraging to play mercy this season, tysm for this VOD it was v insightful
Huge fucking boost wth, my mercy main energy is sizzling
Must be nice to have competent teammates, when I switch to dmg boost, the team starts dropping like flies.
Personally I’d probably have used valk to try res Orissa or at least put heals onto her at 2:30 mins into the vid as the full team then pretty much fell right back to the spawn whilst waiting for her to respawn. It could have worked and the fight could have been won but worst comes to the worst, you’d have been reset with Orissa? Just a thought 😊 hope you don’t mind me saying xx
sometimes i do a rlly cool mercy movement and go "I just did a niandra!!"
omg this is so wholesome 💖 I love it. I will often think "omg niandra would be so proud"
She said sensory issues and hypersensitivity to noise 🥺🤚 I love you forever
I was really upset when I heard of the nerfs at face value - until I played as her later on. She doesn't feel...dead to me as I thought she would be she's definitely not as fun as she used to be. I really like the healing output they added to her, so she can actually keep up with the extra damage the tanks and dps give out. I really dislike the GA changes and I feel at this point, she's more of a point and click and pocket character than a fun keep up with dps character she was before. I also TRULY wanna know the mindset behind damage boost not even REMOTELY being touched despite that being the 1 thing people were crying about...
I think they're gonna have to revisit this because they changed nothing that people wanted change and touched things that were mostly fine the way they were💀
tbh, I think the idea with many of their changes recently has been finding ways to try to encourage different play styles instead of just fixating on numbers. while the GA nerf was never necessary and I genuinely think that was the only thing that needed to be reverted, I think the core idea of trying to encourage and allow a more healing focused play style wasn't a terrible idea. I genuinely like the creativity there. if the "problem" is that damage boost is too strong, sure you can just nerf it into the ground but you can also just offer alternative ways to play to hopefully get the same effect of damage boost being extremely strong.
it's a "softer" way of trying to get the same result and it actually speaks to a much higher level of creativity on behalf of the overwatch team. just because it didn't get the desired result doesn't mean it was a bad idea inherently. it just means it didn't get the desired result.
honestly, I liked the healing changes, I thought they were interesting and fun. I would have been totally okay if the only change they reverted was the GA cooldown.
basically, I think the approach that is being taken is a very good one. I want them to be creative like this. don't just mess with the exact numbers, I think playing around with the fundamental nature of a hero is awesome and interesting!
but there is still value in just making tiny little tweaks to numbers lol
it makes me very curious about how these decisions get made at overwatch HQ lol I know in my heart that the reason things seem so wonky is because the people making the final calls are NOT actually on the overwatch team. it's some corporate suit who doesn't actually know anything about the game putting corporate -political pressure on people. I actually feel very bad for Aaron Keller because he has to be the public face for some bad decisions that he and his team aren't the ones actually making lol
Packing stats is so real lmfao sometimes I rez just cuz I want more 😂
7:05 can't you stand here if you break the glass? I've done it while playing genji but I'm not 1005 sure lol.
Great Mercy play tho, it's always nice watching these vids while working.
It's very frustrating when you hear best Mercy mains say it's okay or not that bad about Mercy GA nerf
Whereas, non-Mersey players take it seriously and say Mercy is bad and needs to be fix
these nerfs are NOT enough, sure I might win the 1v1 against the dps getting pocketed!! but 1v1'ing mercy is IMPOSSIBLE, as a top 500 sojourn main (69420 hours) i CANNOT kill mercy in a 1v1!!! the 5 bullets was too strong, mercy can now deal 900 total damage in one clip, preposterous!!! how can blizzard allow this this insanity to continue?? so long as mercy has 25 bullets us sojourn mains cannot hope to continue playing Overwatch 2
>:(
The worst part is that I couldn’t tell if this is satire or frfr bc of how much people complain about mercy😭
@user-hm7ev3yo1o same though!
I've adapted to the changes fairly well but that doesn't mean I like them. I just hate the clunkiness and the new play style of her. Like everyone says - she's just not as much fun to play anymore and I feel like her identity is confused/lost.
As someone who plays mostly Widow, this was already how I was playing Mercy. All the flying around the battlefield always seemed weird to me when you could just position in safe spots & avoid any hitscan targeting you.
trying to watch ur gameplay w/ my enemy colors on their basic settings hurts my brain
6000 is insaneeee wtf
Really hope the replay viewer eventually just uses the colours that WE use for ally and enemy rather than it being a 50/50 chance of being normal, inverted, or something different
it's not random, red is attack and blue is defense... that's still really bad though
I think it's a fine change tbh. She's still really good.
In the 3rd round.. orisa being focused is lowkey her fault thou. Like she’s pushing ahead instead of positioning herself in a way that works with the team. I see a lot of tanks do that in master. They think everyone has to stick with them and it makes games hard to win.
I love mercy. I have 5 mercy figures.
i have one lol
so ironic now that we want to go back to S3 mercy amirite?
why did the nerf backward ga :((((((((((((
i played mercy for fun so now i literally dont play her, if she and her playstyle is this immobile im just going to play ana
I've decided to stop playing overwatch because I have both ADHD and Dyslexia so probably wasn't the best decision to even try lol but I still enjoy watching your content
Didn't they remove mass res because they didn't like the hiding? This nerf just encourages hiding
MONARCH OF MERCY 💋
Even with the legend, the different team colors are disorienting.
ughh i know, sadly I couldn't flip the colours with accessibility options because objects still remain their original colour :( I've already decided that I'll try to avoid vod reviews like this one in future
@@Niandra No worries! I know it's an issue with Overwatch. Still love your content!
Merki ovrwatch
I kindof hate that just after reaching a point where I finally feel like I love this character, she's immediately nerfed in a way that precisely makes her less fun. I'm gonna persist because I like the character but having to struggle with a character you love because of changes she didn't need is not fun.
Really wierd wheter to prioritise heal or dmg beam when someone is diving you. Have teammate kill them faster or maybe heal yourself just enough to live. Haven't played Mercy in years but this feels like a very conflicting change.
She is stronger but not as fun to play. Luckily the other support I love playing got buffed so I been playing a ton of Brig.
This taught me that I suck at Mercy.
I'm lucky if my team even does 6k dmg
