Everything NEW with Mercy in Season 9 | Buffs!!

So what does everyone think of all the changes to Mercy and Season 9?? 👀

[@dnnnforfordnnn7838]

I have mixed feelings, but the true feelings will be revealed once I get to play her lol

[@bored7923]

She’s literally a fighter jet now with a better healing passive and another healing passive for playing the game. I feel like hanzo pocket might be meta

[@Sumxne]

@skiesti I really need some help with my mercy gameplay I can't win any games and I don't know if it's my fault or not, here's a replay code (PS: if you see this, Thanks for your content!, anyways here is the replay code! -- YS06EK

[@Ingridfire]

I dread pocketing Pharah when she's flying far away from the rest. And when I'm trying to keep the team alive and she died, I'd get call out by her for not staying with her. It's as if a Pharmercy is always expected even when she's not killed anything or done much damage. And when my heal counts are lower, I'd get called out by everyone else for not healing. I..

[@vividdaydream1516]

It breaks my heart to heart you call Mercy a niche pick... and know that you're right. I miss the days when Mercy was poster girl for main healers....

[@Skiesti]

Mercy has been a niche pick for a loooong time now, I normally just don't talk about it since I play Mercy anyway LMAO

[@bigfudge2031]

I prefer it like that, no character should be a Swiss army knife. As someone who plays a lot of Mercy, it really annoys me when someone else locks in Mercy when there is no synergy whatsoever, especially when I already picked Brig, Lucio, or Zen because it just shows that they don't have any understanding of the game. And the worst part is they are usually bad at her too.

[@ducky_7122]

Thank God, phara-mercy was nerfed. I hated having to rely on teammates to swap to hit scan.

[@chloejeon1133]

after playing a lot of mercy, i feel like the ga buff trade off for literally every hero (including hitscans) shooting BRICKS is just horrible for her sometimes, especially when her natural hit box is increased like during valk or or angelic descent

[@Da5kone001]

i was super worried about this but after playing a bunch it doesnt feel like shes any more effected than any other hero

[@bigfudge2031]

Not played the new patch yet, but I am worried that we are going into a heal bot meta. With more damage going out, bigger health pools and an "anti-heal" passive for DPS, that naturally means more healing is required. Sure they added a small passive healing, but it remains to be seen how much that will bridge the gap because it won't be useful during team fights. I feel the meta may favour Bap, Moira and Ana, but maybe I am wrong.

[@cloudy978]

My experience is actually quite the opposite. I feel like more dmg is required from supports. I think heroes like Bap Could be really good this season. The bullet buff makes Bap crazy and quickly killing the ennemies means the dps passive can't slowly kill the team. Healbotting is in my opinion even worse than before. Because Heals are less effective , the Target you heal will eventually die unless they kill the enemy before that. Where as if you alternate between healing and dmg your chance of killing the enemy is higher. But I guess this doesn't apply to mercy.

[@opticalmoose8091]

Healing is directly targeted to be less effective since s9, so very likely no.

[@yomama2376]

I play in collegiate scrims and its been soooo hard to do damage. I had to pump out heals like crazy and the moment I reloaded and had no cds, everyone died. Super healbotty

[@yomama2376]

Also as mercy i noticed i had to help heal our tank way more often, which is usually pretty uncommon if ur other support is a main healer

[@Yarnagan]

I was talking about this with my bf last night, he thought Mercy was going to be bad this season (what's new, I guess). My only counterpoint is that I'm interested in what new breakpoints exist with damage boost vs. the higher health pools. Like, now Hanzo needs to be damage boosted to one shot most squishies, does that mean Hanzo + Mercy could be meta? What other similar break points exist?

[@sera48g]

I feel like Mercy Hanzo might become good especially because Hanzo's arrows have a good hitbox already and yk... it's gonna be even harder to miss arrows in s9

I feel like a cool change to help Mercy a bit would be to make it so her ult bypasses the healing reduction

[@tommygenesisenthusiast]

i wish there was a person like u for every overwatch hero...

[@whelksome]

i love not having to play pharamercy as a mercy, but it hurts that mercy will be even more of a niche pick now...i wish we would get some new tech possibilities that give us more choices for gameplay instead of things like sympathetic recovery that feel more incidental in terms of how i can use it, rather than an intentional, meaningful decision i can consistently make with my gameplay that will contribute to the fight...still, im excited for the season 9 changes overall and am ready to keep on playing mercy in whatever meta that forms!

[@soyunbonus]

still seeing Mercy a lot in my gold games, just as Genji and many others. Maybe not meta, but still popular with the players.

[@AbbyOW2]

Fantastic breakdown as always, these are very nice buffs and you do a great job with your delivery, I always share these with my partner who is rather new-ish to the game and its very easy to digest, straight forward with just enough explanation to get points across. Keep up the great work as always, Skiesti! :)

[@sharifhaason8138]

Honestly, I am hopeful that the GA buff helps because it at least restores some synergy with the beam break cooldown. There's a much larger window now between using GA and breaking line of sight with target.

[@jesusgavalda6949]

Ngl, i have been saying that if they gave her back some mobility in exchange for making har hitbox bigger she would have been more fun for me since they nefed her in that weird tanky way back then. We got some of our mobility back and everyone is now easier to shoot, not just us so i consider this a great change for her, obviously we need to see how she actually plays

[@jesusgavalda6949]

I am not saying she is stronger now, but I think she got some fun factor back thanks to more mobility

[@szo82]

I'm really glad mercy is finally getting buffs, even if its part of the whole gameplay rework. I am kinda worried about valk hitbox and the bullets increased hitbox.. I feel like I will be a flying airship that you literally cannot miss but we will see... Pocketing a pharah was one of my favorite things to do. I will miss being able to help pharah spam from the skybox, perhaps riskier positions will have to be taken to engage pharah. Oh my god I remember the last clip from stream, that overtime lasted an eternity. 😭

Are you going to update the damage boost tier list for season 9 and Pharah changes? Other changes have happened since the video’s release like Sojourn’s primary fire no longer charges her secondary fire based on damage.

[@iicedchaii]

noooo, she got unintentionally left behind just like i feared! hopefully the devs can see what she needs to keep up with the pack soon enough

[@valkyrie2832]

I honestly wasn’t expecting any mercy changes besides the health increase that everyone gets so I’m happy to see the small buff!

[@josiebee23]

i’m curious what you think about the changes to the dps passive in terms of disincentivizing the healing of players who are being damaged. thinking very technically here, a mercy seeking to maximize their own utility/ult charge/sympathetic healing would be better off healing a teammate not being actively damaged than one who is, whereas before the changed passive it made more sense to heal a teammate actively in danger in order to keep them up. do you think changes to the passive will result in mercy players changing their priority targets for healing and therefore leaving endangered teammates to die more often, or will the desire to keep those endangered teammates up override personal utility maximization?

[@xailia_]

thank god for ski! i get so confused by patch notes and the queen of mercy always can translate!

[@LilypadOW]

one thing that didn’t get mentioned is that rezzing will be considerably safer due to the higher hp pool

[@via8345]

Although the increased bullet size does mean they are going to be more accurate

[@LilypadOW]

i can see your idea but it would matter less during resurrect as you are already an incredibly easy target so here the change actually benefits us since we are just flatout beefier and can sustain for example two kiriko headshots without dying. I was more thinking of flankers trying to catch us, they will have trouble dealing enough damage alone @@via8345

[@monkeyman123321]

Also mercy damage boost is a buff, if you think the increase in projectile size for everyone will equal more damage constantly. So better to boost the damage of the more hitting teammates now, which also means more ults for your team in general. People complaining about a general drop off on mercy but I remember in OW where mercy was very niche pick because her ult was a aoe res which means you mostly had to hide in team fights swoop on point and mass res to win a fight.

[@1Sariat5]

Thank you for the breakdown!!

I've played around 30 matches since season 9 begun and I cannot believe the extra amount of hate dps & tanks are throwing on healers because they "Are not healing enough" - I think it'll take some time till players realize how much the dps passive impacts them, especially tanks!

[@trigotauro3631]

Rezz is getting an indirect buff too. Before, you needed to stand practically still to rezz shooting mercy was really easy to hit. Now, Mercy has 50 more hp. So even with the proyectile size increase (which doesn’t apply when mercy is rezzing because she was super easy to hit anyway) she will survive a bit more. Idk if she is niche tho. Her dmg boost is incredibly valuable now as it returns to almost all breakpoints, with good usage of cover she will be a menace to go against if you have a good dps.

[@Skiesti]

Mercy has been a niche pick for a while as she benefits from being paired more with specific DPS otherwise you're normally better off playing another support unless you really just want to play Mercy Damage boost is good for sure but in actual play, Mercy feels like garbage from my now 12 hours playing her since the patch went live

[@trigotauro3631]

Yeah, tbh almost all supports feel worse than last patch. Everything got the indirect nerfs with dps supports now doing barely damage and barely healing while more healer supports doing less healing. Just feel like you slowly watch them die instead of healing them. 😢

[@GM_Flynx]

Update after playing and observing Mercy in play since Season 9 went live. I think the new healing changes with prompt players to make use of cover more, now that they will find that healing is not going to let them stand in withering fire and be healed through it any longer. This is a good thing! It is realisic that when folks are getting shot, they aren't able to get the trauma patched up as though they are Wolverine with a ludicrous healing factor. Having easier to land bullets makes learning to use cover that much more important! I am enjoying the new system. Learning about proper flanking and defilade is now an immense factor that other players will need to take into account if they really want to make proper plays as the game evolves. I'm excited to see these changes. Mercy is still valid! In fact, now her sidearm is even more relevant. You are less valuable as a healing AND damage beam spammer. Landing opportunist potshots from sidelines on people and weakening shields is a huge factor! It helps break down the opposing force's front line and gives an opportunity to push the objective. What you want to do now is get into position using GA. Take cover! Heal when people aren't in fire or are traversing open ground and taking hits so they don't die. Boost people and let them know that they are being boosted so they don't waste your time by not landing shots or not taking shots when you are tethered. If you aren't boosting outgoing fire, you are wasting time that could be spent firing your Caduceus blaster! Mercy is now a combat medic! Pull out the glock and get those headshots! Get elims and build your ult so you can get valk up and become an airborne weapons platform. When you can spam valk damage boost, you can turn team fights on their head super quickly. Damage boost wins team fights, especially when you have valk up. Mercy ain't niche. She's reborn. Learn to love the new approach and embrace using cover and new angles of attack. Our mobility gives us amazing advantage when we have teammates who can help us get into position.

[@lyzder7298]

Not related to the patches but that Lucio on Queens Street needed to CHILL lmao 🤣

[@Croissanting]

They still need to address damage boost. Throw a mercy pocket on a soldier and hes way more effective right now. Should make her damage boost similar to moira heals and give it a charge. Healing can refill it quicker, should deplete fast regardless

Tbh, phara-Mercy really isn’t THAT bad (in diamond ranks that is), I was able to keep up fairly well but it definitely is a little harder now. I’m sure it just depends on how good people are with Phara and how mobile they’re being. But aside that, I felt a little more in control of the fights. I could go for a little risky rez more often because of the hp increase, and the buff (albeit small) buff to her GA helped out in small situations. Other than that, I am hating the new passive of healing slower when they’re under attack 💀

[@TimelessAct]

I don’t think mercy really different than before really. Mercy has always been a niche hero. Her healing has always been weak in my opinion but the new dps passive just makes mercy healing even worse. I find myself being even more aggressive with her blue beam tbh and do less healing. Like for example, with the new passive everyone has now is to be able to regenerate their health, I would just heal one of the dps or support a little till their regen starts then go back to damage boosting the other dps like soj, hanzo, or solider. Healing the tank never changed really, only help the support out to heal the tank when the tanks is at critical. I also find myself being more passive with her GA now since they changed the hitbox. It’s now pretty easy for the dps now to hit mercy. So yeah, season 9 is pretty rough for us 😂. But can be adapted.

I think mercy needs a rework personally, allowing mercy to fight and heal at the same time would be cool imo. Her healing has never been better than other heros just easier generally but even that is still since most heals are braindead easy, its a shame that mercy can't be combative.

Hi ! Sorry I don't speak English very well and maybe I didn't understand everything in the video. I've been playing Mercy for a while and I feel like since all the changes in season 9, I'm having more trouble healing during fights than before, especially tanks. However, I understood that Mercy has just had a small buff, I did not think that it would have such a negative impact on my way of playing. (thanks google trad)

[@Skiesti]

So basically, there's a new passive for Damage heroes which reduces the healing received of any enemy they hit by 20% for 2 seconds (it does not have a cooldown). This reduces Mercy's healing to 44hp/s

Bap and Kiri were the problem bc of the immortal abilities and they’re gonna still be on meta. Tanks will also suffer a lot from the lack of healing this season, especially in lower ranks, everyone is gonna have to play Ramattra
