They should just delete mercy and put in her hot, gay brother.

Overwatch |OT11| Have Mercy
- Thread starter antitrop
- Start date
I will happily take a Lucio buff just in the form of increased rate of healing (or faster cool down rate on Amp.) Healing without Amp right now is painfully slow in many circumstances, especially when I'm trying to keep an aggressive Reinhardt up.
Hell, do that, put the current healing rate on speed so people don't have to bunnyhop anymore, then explain the change as the natural effect of his positive attitude. Let my Frog Boy be broken.

Just revert mercy to her old self, seriously, even as passive support she can wreck the enemy with her ult soft healing everyone like Lucio or acting like Orisa ult which I think it last longer than Orisa.
Break her wings and makes her ult shorter

Doesn't look like I'm gonna be able to hit Gold this season
Maybe next season, assuming placements don't get re-nerfed. Sigh.
EDIT: and it looks like it's only 50-50 whether I'll be able to hold on to my original goal of reaching SR 1750 by the end of the season. I was doing well but dropped 100+ SR again.
What are you at currently? There's still like 2 weeks left right? That is a big climb though, especially in silver where the probability of getting a bad team is high. At least in my experience it is.

If the seasons are gonna be so short then they should really fix placement matches.
They should make it 5.
Placements matches on accounts that have played Comp before are just regular games, honestly they only really need 1 placement game per season on accounts that have already placed before. The way they do it now makes absolutely no sense.
Yet another example of something Blizzard already got right with StarCraft II years ago and do differently in Overwatch for no good reason. SC2 only made you play 1 placement match in each season after your first to get you back into the rankings, there is no point in playing more. It's such a strange, arbitrary requirement.

I'm very much on the "buff other supports, leave Mercy as is" train.
EDIT: I definitely don't want her to go back to her pre-rework state. On a selfish level she's a lot more fun to play. I also think discouraging the "hide multi-rez" mindset is a good thing. Just need to get the other supports up to snuff.

If I've been in diamond every season for 6 seasons why can't I do placements with my friends in diamond?

As for team "break all the supports"...
My humble Zenyatta suggestions are a new yoga teleport ability and slow air hover for greater movement, reducing the size of his hitbox because boo to my outward knees eating pure body shot damage, double harmony orbs because if junkturd can ruin everything with double mines I demand more healing compensation.
Also Zen's ult also causes damage to opposing players in range at a slow rate, thus you can basically use it in deathmatch like a super star and watch everyone try to flee from your tranquil goodness.
I believe these are all fair suggestions seeing balance is constantly whack these days.

Maybe give Mercy some kind propulsion for her ult instead of flying in every unpredictable direction.

He has a purpose, he's just so hard to play for even people in GM.
He still sees a bit of pro use depending on the region, but incredibly little ladder play. I think Blizzard needs to buff him. I'm personally looking towards increasing his punch hit-box a bit because I think they overcompensated, and to hopefully work at removing no-reg's in the game so there is more consistency with him.

Fuck I was hoping to finish in the 3600s or 3700s to avoid these Diamond/Low Master shenanigans next season.

Have the servers on PC been weird for anyone else? Lots of really choppy matches despite everyone having good ping and then Server closed messages
What purpose that other heroes cant already do just as well? One shotting multiple people requires them to be brain dead as even if he flanks them with a surprise uppercut, hes almost like Pharrah during her ultimate after doing so in the air for easy pickings.
I do agree with you in high level play, it just doesnt seem like its worth it if Doomfist requires such nuanced skills. It feels like a result of Blizzard trying to design a new character that doesnt necessitate retroactively altering previous maps, and if they really want a new hero that isnt so weird and obtuse to handle, theyll probably have to sooner or later.

Comp feels like such a roll of the dice sometimes. I miss earlier seasons when almost everyone actually tried to win.

Too many smurfs and one tricks and general trolls/quitters lately.
I have heard "This isn't my main account so I don't really care" one too many times this season

Oh, man, Mind Fuzz is shutting his channel down. He was my go-to guy for strategy videos. Sounds like he's got a lot on his plate right now, but I'll miss him.

The throwers are the ones that get to me the most. I mean, what kind of loser spends their free time intentionally throwing games.
The worst part is that there really isn't anything you can do about it. Not only are you stuck in a match that you're going to lose, but then there's no way to avoid getting matched with that person again.
I got matched with the same dude throwing games three times today. At the end of the day it feels like I'm just wasting my time.

Aw man I really enjoyed his content, even if his uploads are rare.
I hope his work towards transitioning goes well.

Was very surprised to see him wanting to transition. I'm rooting for him.

Thats it? I was thinking I still had more time. I want to climb at least another 74 SR to reclaim my gold. I guess I need to find some time and hopefully win some games.
I guess this is my chance to watch his instructional videos before he takes it down, correct?
TheThinWhiteDuke

Me too. He's picked a rough option on how to go about it, mentally and financially, so I'm really rooting for him.

Win Loss Win Loss for me tonight until a 3 win streak puts me at 2374. I'm happy with my Mercy and Winston now, but my Reinhardt needs some serious improvement.
That or more people to stand behind the big blue shield. I was getting 4 Attacks + Junkrat far too often with playing tonight. I could really appreciate one of you running as a Tank there, we don't need a Genji, a Mcree, a Reaper AND a Soldier 76 all at once.

I don't really like the idea of breaking the other supports. I think Ana needs a small damage/healing rate buff and Mercy needs to be nerfed but that's about it.
To buff them up to Mercy's level would make them extremely strong, and I tend to really dislike metas where nothing dies tbh

I would like Ana's passive (Strike) from HOTS to be added to her Overwatch counterpart, where her attacks apply an additional 44 (+4% per level) damage over 5 seconds, and stacking up to 5 times. Of course, they have to adjust the numbers, but it would be a great way to give back her DMG potential without making the other supports feel inadequate.
It was a headache to play Ana in default Junkenstein's Revenge, as it made me feel helpless against fighting the Zomnics and Boss characters. I would be fine if they neuter her grenade if I can have her damage outtake return.

Seems like Blizz shit out this patch without testing everything, since I keep ending up in random peoples team chats while in the lobby waiting for a match. They're in comp too. Super strange bug
Carl-Sagan

I don't think he plans on taking any of his videos down.
I hope so. I didn't know his channel existed, and already I'm learning some great tips from watching his instructional videos on Roadhog 3.0 and Zarya.
On a related note, I hope all is well on his end, along with wishing the fella all the best for the future.

I guess I have to get my placements over with. Competitive is so anti-fun and ridiculous. I hate it.
Mercy is already hot and gay but we can add her brother too, sure.

Can't wait to see how the pros will use Mercy tommorrow. Vici vs MVP Space on the latest patch for APAC.
Wonder what changes will happen for Blizzcon.

Yes it is. There is a reason why most FPS and DOTA avoid it. The entire problem has been either making rez relevant or nerfing it down. They haven't after a year and a half. Get rid of it and replace it. It's become way too big of a crutch and it would bring back the importance of picks again.
Zarya and at times, he can get behind the enemy team with good placement. Played one earlier which was pretty good at slipping in at Moonbase.

First time I have ever took part in lootboxes and of course $40 got me nothing I wanted. I knew that this was going to happen but I fell into the try anyways...
Womp Womp. Still having a blast with the game so that's good.
