If they are going to change Mercy a lot they might just as well get rid of the damage boost - I use the healing beam a lot more anyway, it's situational, and it somehow feels more passive than the healing (at least when you heal someone you can see how you are saving their lives, with damage boost you can't really tell how much good it's doing). I would prefer to instead get the ability to launch straight up into the air, similar to Pharah's rocket jump, and have it have a small knockback effect - it would be hilarious to use it to get some kills by booping people, and it would give Mercy the ability to reach teammates that are located high up but doesn't come to the edge. They can give it a fairly long cooldown, like 15 seconds, if people feel that it would make her op. I also think that her healing when ulting should be increased the fewer targets her beam reaches, that way she can also use it to support a teammate like Genji with massive healing when he is ulting. I would gladly exchange 10 seconds of valkyrie for a more effective ult! Damage boost is what makes Pharmercy and Widowmercy work, no way they'll remove that. The healing thing tho, seems like a really good idea. Maybe you could add some kind of toggle to switch between single target or chaining. Ads another layer to the ultimate.
Edit: I'm assuming Valkyrie is getting a duration and other stuff nerf. Seems too OP right now.

But the damage boost is sooo boring, and I thought the whole point was to make Mercy more fun to play? Do you know how many times I have died as Mercy trying to get the attention of a teammate on top of a building and not seeing the McCree just waltz up to me? Besides, I don't know how many times people have complained about Pharmercy, so this could be a gift to them! (Sorry about Widow though, I occasionally like to crouch next to her and give her a damage boost just to make her feel better, and many are grateful for it).

(Sorry about Widow though, I occasionally like to crouch next to her and give her a damage boost just to make her feel better, and many are grateful for it). Lol, the few times I do play mercy (mystery, mostly) I see that happening to me all the time. I didn't comment on the launch/knockback thing cause i have no idea how balanced it would be. It may be too much of a mobility buff, and those should be handled with care or we'll get stuck on dive meta forever.
I don't think there are that many complains about pharmercy on PC, but I may be wrong. Funny thing, WidowMercy coupled with Zen discords lets the WIdow kill with bodyshots, and it's a legit strategy on pro play (limited to certain maps and sections only tho). I wasn't complaining btw, I don't think either needs a nerf, not in their current state.

Lvca I have to try the Widow/Mercy/Zen strat! Can't recall anyone ever using it against me, so would be fun to see just how effective it is (mind you, I play on console so playing Widow is pretty difficult). Pharmercy is a bit op on console to be honest, and me and my friend who is a Pharah main use it fairly often, but I think with the changes to D.VA that might be starting to change (a smart D.VA will be doing trash damage to Mercy simply to make her unable to regen health and then let a dps like Soldier finish her off - the trick is not falling for the urge to try to kill the Pharah first). I really would like this mobility buff even if the cooldown is high, it would be such a nice quality of life change for Mercy and lessen a lot of my annoyance with teammates who are just out of reach when I most need them. I agree that the dive meta has gone on fairly long now, and believe me as I support main I have suffered a lot. I do think we're moving more towards a dps meta anyway, but that is just my impression from the qp matches I've been playing recently. The best counter to dive would be to buff defense heroes, and I do like the changes to Junkrat, but one they should really be looking at is Mei - she has so much potential to chase away divers, but at the moment she rarely manages to freeze Genji (damn that double jump), and Winston and D.VA will often jump/fly away.

Personally I'm looking forward to trying Reaper and Mercy on Assault maps.
Reaper has always been strong on Assault maps, especially after his buff, but with Mercy damage boosting him, he's going to be even harder to remove.

I just realized Pharah will have very limited benifit from Mercy's ult - you have to be grouped up to get the most benefit from the beams, but Pharah naturally wants to be up in the air, and no Mercy is going to waste her ult only healing Pharah when she can do that already without it. I really think they need to rethink what Mercy is supposed to do with her ult - it should either heal enough to counter ultimates (at the moment she can't) or boost enough to give an edge when teams are pushing (at the moment the way Mercy does it is too similar to Orisa's ult). I would prefer if her ult was ult-countering through healing, and I would like for all teammates to benefit from it and not exclude airborne characters like Pharah. What I fear the most is that Mercy will pop her ult, people will group up to benefit from it, and then a graviton is pulled on them without the Mercy being able to sustain them through the tac-visor/death blossom/dragonblade/dragonstrike/tank mode/meteor strike (although I doubt anything saves them from that particular combo). Also, I'm still not sure how this ult increases Mercy's skill ceiling? What she does now when she ults isn't particularly harder then what she does throughout the game. Take away the big rez if you must, but let her at least get something worthwhile in return. Edit* Ana also has a normal ability to cancel ults (sleep dart) and Symetra's teleporter also counters ults, so Mercy will be the only support not able to do it

I thought this kind of nonsense was sort of over with this game after the "Tracer butt pose".
It's amusing though.

Update is out everyone! Death Match was surprisingly fun, even more surprising for me was that I won the whole thing on my third try! Pharah is pretty strong on that map... from now on you can all call me by my new superhero name: Boop Bunny!

I just got a quad kill with Junkrat's Rip-Tire... If someone had told me a month or so ago that I would start maining Junkrat I would have laughed! But now I'm laughing for a whole different reason...

Roadhog is a lot better now than he was after his last nerf but I still can't see much reason to take him instead of any other tank. He's fucking godly in free for all though.

I've been playing a lot of Widowmaker on the PTR as of late. Junkertown may be the sniper-friendliest map so far, as there are plenty of spots to snipe from, and plenty of aerial targets to hit. I've headshot quite a few Junkrats and Doomfists this way, but Valkyries give me trouble due to the player's erratic movement.
And Orisa has finally got a well-deserved buff. A big shield and faster peas means she makes a bigger impact on fights. Maybe one day Blizzard will buff her movement speed while firing.

I was playing comp and one minute into the game I rezzed and we were about to cap the point when one person on the other team left - and the game was canceled! Is it really supposed to cancel a game that's been played for so long?

Nah, I'm just weirded out that the game was canceled, I thought it only did that if the game hadn't started or it was still the very first seconds of the match. Especially annoying since we had a very good start!

Especially annoying since we had a very good start! Yeah definitely report that guy! I just finished my placements and got placed in diamond! I was sure the game was going to put me in bronze because of how badly I played! I think this is the first time I was immediately placed in diamond, usually it's middle to high platinum. Happy bunny!

They changed the placements a bit this season where you'll be placed a little higher in where you were last season. Won't play this season because I don't have too much time though.

I think I played pretty well but it's hard to win when you're playing tank and have all the fucking medals. Still ended up high Plat though.

Actually I'm one of those Winston mains who dedicates his existence to making every Mercys' life a living hell But healers who can survive team fights are, IMO, more important. I can always tell if someone is a support main by their positioning.

I at least have a slim chance of killing them with my pistol, against Winston there is no option but trying to fly away (and usually he will just jump after). I do like having Winston on my team though - a lot of nice ult charge for me, and the knowledge that the enemy supports are suffering as I so often do!

The changes to Take A Breather make Roadhog a lot more fun (and useful) to play. He's especially good in FFA. Maybe I'll even play him in Comp this season.
