I don't get why anyone would want to literally just stand around and do nothing for the whole game. The people who did this basically ruined Mercy for everyone who loved to play her. And for no benefit at all since they usually still sucked as a player and quickly dropped in rank after is was fixed.
As for sym: Yeah what I said. She's good at distracting people because she can zone a lot with her ult and her turrets. The teleporter isn't that useful though unless you have a team of pros. So for the regular people the teleporter is good for only 1 thing: Getting to places. There's also the problem of the teleporter's life. If you position it not 100% correctly, a few rockets and Junk grenates are enough to destroy it before it becomes useful. So again, if you place it in the middle of a fight, it's good to distract the enemy fire...
For Mercy i do blame blizz for her old ult, i mean, mass rez being available for an ult? You had to constantly track Mercy's ult on the other team, sacrifice one or two ults on your team to have her mass rez the enemies and THEN commit to team wipe play and assume she hadnt had her ult farmed all the way back again. It was bad design and im glad they did away with it. The thing that i dont agree though is how they are constanty shafting her heal per second. To me her rez was her hugest problem, now that its not there anymore she should go back to her old 60 heal per second instead of the 50 or 55 she has now, i dont get it... maybe they did so to push more different healers like Ana into play which is fine, but its being done at Mercy's expense on viability. I dont really like that notion very much but it is what it is mang...
Sym's teleport is crazy good even with a team full of bronzes if you know what youre doing. Mei pops her ult, you E towards the far side and press F, suddenly youre not a free kill anymore. Like i said you can teleport nearly everything with them. Place teleport behind the spot where you know enemies with pop out of (like Hanamura's first point choke) and throw your sentries into it, they will show up behind enemy lines and i guarrantee they will disrupt their push if only for a seconds but its enough for your team to go in. Telepoter life doesnt matter much since its on a short cooldown anyway, you use it as either a teleport-shit-towards-a-point or to teleport the team in a one off moment.....or you can use it to spam F on it and troll the enemy hitscan LUL. If youre on a potato bot team though thats probably not gonna happen because no coordination. Its like Sombra, she's a hero that needs to coordinate , especially calling out her hacks and her EMP. Without that in comp its useless to play her as a strict dps player. Sym is the same way, you need to coordinate at higher brackets. At lower brackets its a gamble, even if you call out your teleports or not.
I was a dps main but now changing into tank main, so its in my interests to see Mercy be more viable as a healer rather than Ana+Lucio.
Jesus the wall of text is real.
