As a Mercy Main, I’m Already Mourning Overwatch 2’s Next Midseason Patch

Mercy has received a lot of cool skins recently, which is great, but the gameplay itself hasn’t been very satisfying. She’s always been a bit weak at higher skill levels because she’s designed to be a beginner-friendly Support hero, similar to how Soldier: 76 is easy for new DPS players to pick up. Playing Mercy feels risky because her impact on a fight is limited. You’re constantly hoping your teammate will make good use of the damage boost, and while a strong offensive Mercy can do well for a short time, it’s rarely enough to win consistently at Diamond rank and above. Ultimately, Mercy is often seen as a Support hero who doesn’t offer enough value, which is why I’ve been playing her less often.
