Overwatch 2 has launched a ton of stories and updates in the present day, however all anybody is admittedly speaking about is a severe Mercy nerf. Whereas a number of the assist characters together with Lucio, Zenyatta, and Brigitte acquired buffs, Mercy mains all over the place are most actually crying whereas studying the contents of those patch notes, which Kotaku obtained by way of e-mail.

Mercy’s Guardian Angel cooldown (a capability that lets her goal an ally and shortly fly in direction of them by way of her employees), has been elevated from 1.5 seconds to 2.5 seconds. Her motion has been nerfed when utilizing Guardian Angel as properly, which can possible make her harder for lower-skilled gamers to study and grasp. Mercy’s healing-per-second has additionally been decreased, although it will likely be elevated for allies beneath half well being. Since all healers now passively regenerate their well being (which was as soon as one thing solely Mercy may do), she’s getting a brand new passive known as Sympathetic Restoration, the place she’ll heal herself for 25% of therapeutic carried out to pleasant gamers together with her employees.
Whereas I can admit that enjoying towards a very good Sojourn or Pharah getting pocketed by an ideal Mercy is a nightmare, that is dangerous information for Mercy mains throughout. That the opposite healers have gotten some type of a buff, whether or not it’s a rise to Zenyatta’s ammo or Brigitte’s Restore Pack immediately therapeutic 25 well being along with the healing-over-time function, makes Mercy’s nerfs much more robust to swallow.

Fortunately, Ramattra is lastly getting nerfed after beating the brakes off of me for the final a number of weeks: his final, a painful AoE assault that continues in perpetuity so long as you’re inside it, now has a 20-second cap. Reinhardt acquired a slight nerf, in what’s one in all many adjustments Blizzard is making in an try to focus on on the spot or almost-instant kills—the direct hit harm of his Earshatter final will likely be decreased from 250 to 170, although his Fireplace Strike harm will get slightly enhance.

Different heroes like Junkrat and Widowmaker acquired slight nerfs that mirror Blizzard’s makes an attempt to keep away from fast kills: Junkrat’s Concussion Mine harm has dropped to hopefully keep away from one-shot kills when mixed together with his grenade, and Widowmaker has much less well being so she’s extra squishy.
And when not in function queue, all tank heroes may have much less well being, in order to stop open queue aggressive matches and different open matches from having a 5-stack of seemingly indestructible tanks. Whereas loads of these adjustments make sense, the Mercy nerf has me scratching my head. Oh properly, at the least you possibly can date her within the official Overwatch courting sim.
