Perps were uncooperative.


Maybe I can play Pharah again in comps with out getting instantly discorded, then 2 shot by mcCree. Mercy being buffed could make Pharah little more useful. Pharah is great if you can nail down direct hits, but it doesn't matter if you're so easily countered by every other ranged hit scan hero. The current popular meta does not favor the Pharah.

The Mercy buff is bigger than it looks because it reverses most of her ult charge nerf.

Only if she actually has a chance to heal that much though.

It gives her more flexibility to amp or whip out her pistol, though, which also translates to more Ult charge

Dave Tate's downsy face approves.
None of the 2CP maps are great, but Hanamura A is a fine lesson in learning that you can trade 1 for 1 on offense with regularity and still come out ahead, something inexperienced players miss a lot. Also, the value of anyone, even the healer for pete's sake, of going "HEY YOU FUCKS WE'RE PUSHING IN 3 2 1 GO" in solo queue. You'd be amazed how often that works at garbage tier MMRs. Sometimes it just takes a little initiative to get past that stupid gate.

Actually the worst change is the Mercy buffs because this game was 100% more fun when she was never picked.

I always picked her anyway so this is GREAT.

Also, her laugh emote is adorable. Gonna have to switch from the clapping to that.

Super looking forward to getting killed by random Hanzo spam while the hero is still pretty much garbage-tier.

Well, when I'm not playing Zarya at least, I'll take my free energy charge.

Genji and Zenyatta nerfs, Mercy and Hanzo buffs. This will be a good patch.

The Zenyatta nerf isn't even that bad for him personally, he still does the same amount of damage. I doubt the Mercy buffs are enough to get her back into regular play because the healing aspect of supports isn't what's the most desirable part of them, it's the utility.

this kind of thinking is worse than any justifiable disagreement about nerfing upper-tier characters

junkrat's bad, but he's got a lot of room for good execution; that's the worst kind of character to leave in the trashcan, even worse than Mei (much as I love Mei's playstyle and concept and thus have been louder about Mei buffs)

All I'm saying is that Junkrat is a garbage trash rear end in a top hat. That's not even my opinion, it's official Blizzard canon. It's in the lore. I can't help that.

The only character who even deserves a little bit to never be buffed is Hanzo, and only because Widowmaker exists and there's no way for their designs not to conflict unless one of them is remade.

The thing I liked about post-buff Zen was that with discord I could reliably count on the dunderheads on my team to maybe possibly do An Damage, though.

(i still don't mind the change, but dang its gonna be sad that I can't slam pick birdZen and press out a win 85% of the time no matter what or where i'm playing)

hosed up that they nerf cool and good characters like my friend, Genji, while buffing Mei. I hope Lucio nerfs are a trend that continues; killing him while he skates forever around the control point is dumb and playing as him with his useless fart gun is dumb.

The way you make playing Mercy fun is to use your pistol more than you probably should and tag all your kills by putting the halo spray above their head.

Sadly I recall them explicitly stating that they want more of Mercy's damage contribution to come from holding down support button #2 rather than doing the more challenging thing of balancing healing and shooting.

God what a stupidly designed character.

Bummed that they're getting rid of the fakeout on High Noon because that was honestly its best selling point. Now it's one of those ult's that's routinely poo poo but once in a while wipes a team.

It's important Blizzard minimizes player feel bads that's why they flipflopped on the single biggest quality of life change they've made to the game with this patch.
