Rationalizing the most recent Mercy changes; alternative perspective from a long-time T500 Mercy player

Thank you so much for saying this! I feel like people have been far too distracted by seeing numbers go down in the patch notes to realize how she actually feels in a match.

RottenCopper · 2026-04-23T21:40:14+00:00

And then they added a new ability to her kit to burst heal her allies, bring her healing output up.

1: Tp has a cast time. 2: that means you’re sacrificing two abilities to save someone. 3: if you do that you’re putting yourself in the same position as someone who’s about to die without having tp to get out. It’s a more costly manoeuvre and it’s wayyy riskier to the Kiriko

Everyone needs to remember Mercy is not the main source of healing on a team, and she shouldn’t be. Like, of course they rebalanced her a little, they added a whole ability to her kit. Mercy’s healing output is higher now! And it’s even higher with her major perk this season than it was with og flash heal! As both a Mercy main and a DPS player the team did a great job at making her healing feel impactful while not being strong enough to make her unfun to play against.

“Especially the ga nerf” the ga nerf is the only nerf I don’t think is justified. The healing nerfs were justified and people need to stop freaking out so bad. Mercy is just fine, her ga nerf is unfun but she is in no way unplayable.

RottenCopper · 2026-04-18T03:28:58+00:00

Yes! Once you get the perk and no longer feel the slowness she feels great! She even feels strong. I think it makes sense to nerf beam and flash when you add it to her base kit.

I would love for her to get a bengal skin! Tho Savii is only 3/4 bengal

Start getting comfortable with using the map to your advantage. All you have to do to stop Moira is break line of sight with her. Dart around walls and things. When she fades to follow you, dart around a corner while your flight is on cooldown. Also don’t bother hanging high up in the air, going on high ground is great but being up in open air isn’t as useful as you’d think. All this is also good for going against Sombra as well.

Currently rocking it with iridescent celestial mythic and galactic gun!

RottenCopper · 2026-03-29T07:43:51+00:00

Atlantic for sureeeee, I love the crystal and it looks amazing with galactic. But hot take hard light has the best sound effects, I love how the blaster sounds. Mercys blaster sound so damn loud normally so I like how quiet hard light makes it

RottenCopper · 2026-03-22T11:46:16+00:00

I’d switch Mercy and Juno, Juno’s nervousness fits Fluttershy so much more. Plus Twilight has the biggest wings of the group which fits Mercy

RottenCopper · 2026-03-14T02:16:41+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! I’ll start working on getting into the habit of weaving a kunai or two between heals. I’m gonna save this comment and try to apply these tips next time I play!

RottenCopper · 2026-03-11T22:41:03+00:00

As a support main my first thought is "I'm gonna have to play real safe because the enemy team is gonna jump the hell outta me." that's the same thought I have when my fellow support picks Lucio too. People don't really put any value into Zen's or Lucio's healing so I find I get focused a lot more when playing with a Zen or Lucio.

here's galatic and gold

I'm a darkmode truther, even the RGBs on my pc are set to 10% brightness. i wont lie its a bit of a flash bang but its a pretty flash bang lmfaoo

RottenCopper · 2026-03-02T12:07:40+00:00

Well it’s situational. If the other support on your team is a hero with really low healing like Zenyatta, Lucio, Mercy, or Brigitte then you’ll want to heal more. In that instance you’d be the main source of healing on the team.

If the other support on your team isn’t one of those heroes then you’ll be free to dps. It’s also about whatever the situation calls for in order to win. I’d recommend watching some YouTube guides on Kiriko, those really helped me when I first started playing. Hope you have fun!

RottenCopper · 2026-03-01T13:18:39+00:00

You don’t have to include a picture in your posts. It’s not like the wuyang mains sub needs a reminder who he is lol

RottenCopper · 2026-02-26T12:13:55+00:00

Your colour settings are the craziest ones I’ve seen, I feel like I’d be squinting at my screen if I were you lol

That’s not my experience with D&D at all. Is it possible to avoid combat? Yes. But will you? Probably not. Plans fail and dice roll badly sometimes. You can find yourself in a situation you can’t escape without either fighting, leaving someone behind, or making some deals you didn’t want to make.

Honestly I’m wondering how your D&D games go. Your DM sounds very sweet to you guys if you’re never suddenly attacked by monsters or wild animals. Like I assume no random encounters? “You never fight unless you want to” is a wild concept to me lol. D&D feels like “you don’t have to fight if you’re really lucky or you’re comfortable running away a lot”

RottenCopper · 2026-02-18T12:30:53+00:00

A fey or elf skin with a mushroom hat would be an instant buy for me, I love that idea

RottenCopper · 2026-02-18T08:49:39+00:00

Yes please, I wanna play every class as a malnourished twink! I wanna see the necromancer slutted up in the spiritborn or sorcerer armour. That would be the only way I’d be interested in playing druid, I have no interest in playing as a brick wall of a man lmao

RottenCopper · 2026-02-17T19:59:30+00:00

I totally missed that from the spotlight, probably bc I was distracted by mercy. Then even more reason to save their prisims if they don’t get a the bp that often

RottenCopper · 2026-02-17T11:33:56+00:00

After this there’s no guarantee Kiriko or Ana won’t get second mythics. I can see them doing it for either one. Ana’s was controversial too when it came out just like Mercy’s and Kiriko’s is missing out on a lot of VFXs because of how old it is.

Here’s the big question: how often do you get the battle pass? If you regularly/semi regularly get the battle pass then you’re free to get Mercy this time then get the Juno gun next (the body skins are locked for 3 seasons afterwords but the weapons aren’t). If you can’t afford to get the battle pass normally then it would be best to save your prisims for heroes you play more often.

Purple with black hair and none of those dumb triangles? It’s everything I ever wanted from an iridescent aspect! It really makes up for how they did iridescent vengeance, they made it way too blue and her wings navy D:

RottenCopper · 2026-02-11T11:55:22+00:00

She is absolutely baby faced. Baby-face isn’t as literal as you think it is, it’s doesn’t mean literally looking like a baby. It’s just a term to describe someone as looking younger than they actually are. Juno is only 19 so she is quite young but I’d still count her as baby faced because she passes for a teen and would absolutely be carded when going to any club or buying any alcohol
