mercy just needs a rework of her ult that turns it into something that isnt rez (probably something that helps her healing target à la medics ubercharge, not specifically ubercharge but there was always other different ubers like the kritzkrieg, quick fix, etc.), an E ability, along with giving her the best single healing and she will be good again imo
I wish mercy had a marker over her head so the whole team can see me at all times.
Because it's fucking annoying when someone calls for heals with genuinely low health AND THEN RUNS AWAY FROM ME because they can't see me round the corner.
Then they die and blame me for not being there.
i really don't enjoy being put against level 300-500 players while i'm not even close to level 100 myself
i'd love if the game actually tried to put me with and against players of similar skill levels
[QUOTE=Furnost;51694940]-words-[/QUOTE]
Literally the only two changes I can think of for Mercy is maybe 50-100 more health, and increased healing speed. Currently the only things making up for that is Guardian Angel.
[QUOTE=Oizen;51695129]Theres another thing Ana has that mercy doesnt.
It takes Mercy a full second to heal 60 health
If ana lands a dart, thats 75 health. Instant healing is a lot more useful than healing over time, of course Ana's numbers just beat out mercys in every scenario I can think of.[/QUOTE]
Numbers aren't everything. Ana can't heal from around a corner, Ana can't overhead heal using a flying ability, Ana can't sweep in to bring an entire team back from the dead, Ana can't swoop anywhere in general and (when cornered) is utterly fucked.
[QUOTE=Jarokwa;51695197]even an ''effective'' mercy still actively cripples her team

Then you're not being an effective Mercy.

And also yeah, this as a change would be great. And being able to see teammates who are low on health in the corners of the screen.

mercy cant heal from far away as fuck where she wont be in any danger compared to having to be up a teammates ass (which is REALLY important and helpful for a healer, the less out of danger you are = more uptime you have = the more healing you can do), cant do any burst healing (either on herself or on an ally), cant shut down someone thats ulting (as long as someone doesnt wake them up except if its a channeled ult, but by now most people know to not shoot), put someone to sleep thats actively targetting her, or use an ult on an ally that makes either someone thats really good at normal shooting secure more kills or push hard, or someone thats ulting incredibly more effective with that ult, which is a lot less situational and helpful than sitting around hoping no one finds you to hopefully get a 2-3+ rez
anas kit just does far more than mercys ever will be able to do. i love playing mercy, more than i ever will ana, but theres a fact to face and that is mercy being not viable atm (and has been for a good long while)

Yes she can, with grenade
Doesn't need to since she can heal that range and greater without flying towards anyone
Not dying > Being Revived.
Mercy cant either considering she needs an ally as an anchor point, to fly in a straight line.
Mercy doesn't need any major buffs, but Ana needs nerfs to make her an inferior healer to Mercy. Mercy should be the undisputed best single target healer in the game because that's all she can do. Right now Ana not only outheals her, but can also provide damage and covering fire, deny heals and ults, and orchestrate pushes.

Press shift.
Am I the only one that finds Mei's new glasses in the Chinese New Year skin not that attractive? She looks like a wannabe Vayne with those glasses and I much prefer her ordinary glasses.
Honestly though, the low quality of the image for Mei and the D.va teaser makes them look kind of mobile game-esque. Then again other teasers have shown the skins very poorly as well. So they probably look amazing in-game.
[QUOTE=Medevila;51695714]Anyone else feel Sombra has way too much SHIT, not OP, just way too much shit going on.[/QUOTE]
I think the bigger problem is she has a load of different tools that are just kind of bad. Its easy to wrap your head around her kit after some time with her, but even if you know how to play her she just feels bad.

Not really, not more than say, Ana or genji.

Why are people always so offended when someone makes comments on team composition? Back when I actually cared I'd get the same response while playing tank in a team with all offensive/defensive characters.
I got that same response once when I asked for a second healer
... I was playing Lucio
Me: Guys we need a healer
Teamate: Well if you need a healer so bad you go healer
Me:

Could also work for S76 because his ult is basically a smartgun.

A funny thing I noticed with the overwatch not telling you how good other players are doing:
In Dota 2, where you can see how well someone is doing, they blame individual players for being bad.
In Overwatch, where you can't see how well someone is doing, they blame entire teams.
If Overwatch meant to cut down the amount of salt by removing able-to-see player stats, it didn't work. It just makes it harder for me to judge who needs to switch to a different hero and who needs to stay.
Overwatch's stats are also really terrible. I don't get why "Gold Damage" is a thing. Damage without picks is practically a bad thing in this game.
And the fact any amount of damage can tag an elimination is really silly.
Meanwhile healers get their own specific medal for Healing, but Damage blocked is a side stat?
I want a more comprehensive stat screen, so people who have the medals in each category show up as well as your score.

To play devil's advocate, I feel like Damage could equate to basically "pressure applied"; you could take out 90% of an enemy's health, then have them get away, only for a Genji to sneeze on them and bag a kill.
So it's not the most important stat, but I feel as though it serves its purpose. Also, totally agree that Damage Blocked should have its own medal. That's explicitly the job of most Tanks, yet they get judged on their ability to score sick kills. So you get Reins and D.vas who think it's a good idea to charge into a crowd by themselves rather than keep the shield up and be a passive enabler of death.

To defend what Im saying.
Damage without picks is the same as feeding the enemy support's ultimate.
Supports have almost always defined the meta, so this isn't a good idea. And thats how elims work currently, but it leads to a lot of anecdotal evidence on heroes' effectiveness.
D.Va can always get gold elims because she can tag every single kill for .9 damage, her spread is just that large.
Yep. When a dva goes "I have gold elims and damage what is DPS even doing", it's realistically because dva shot rein shield for 40 minutes and manages to clip people with her pellet shooter while spamming during team fights.
Stats can't always be taken at face value.
