so as we all know, everybody but mercy mains know how brain dead the hero is and how little effort is required to get insane value.

on the flip side, doom takes immense skill and is incredibly hard to get value out of especially if you are solo que.

so why does blizzard keep nerfing doom but simply won’t do anything about mercy, who has been a top 5 hero since launch ?

    I have been a doom main since ow1 got like 1500 hours and while mercy was super annoying at the start of the game she isn’t even an issue right now. The real issue is bap kiri arguably ana and pylon on certain maps. Much rather vs a mercy than the other bs. rez is for sure annoying sometimes though especially how she can do it behind walls

    I play Doom way more than Mercy but let’s be honest Doom is just annoying to fight compared to Mercy. Sure, Mercy denies a ton of your kills, but a good Doom literally won’t let you play the game.

    Now, I’m a pretty shit Doom and feed half the time but I’m still gonna play him because he’s fun, and those 10% of matches where I utterly dominate are enough reason for me to keep playing him. Blizzard knows Doom mains are too loyal to give up on their hero no matter how much they nerf him, so they keep doing so to cater to the majority that hates playing against him. Remember, only through nerfs do we evolve into better players. We’ll learn to play around our counters, master every movement tech, somehow get kills with doom ult and then Blizzard will notice his high win rate and reward us with more nerfs. It’s just how it is.

    Mercy can’t roll over your entire team by herself.

    Doom can.

    oh my god its like you are reading my brain. This is EXACTLY what I am thinking as well.

    Mercy: Right click: İMMEDİATELY 25 % MORE DAMAGE NO AİM WHATSOEVER

    DOOM: Gets javelined and killed

    what is the relation between doomfist and mercy?

    they aren’t even in the same role?
