Overwatch 2 clips Mercy's wings in its season 3 balance patch.
about the role of support in Overwatch 2, particularly the strength of Mercy's ability to damage boost DPS heroes, Blizzard has taken a stance with an upcoming balance patch.
When Overwatch 2's third season starts tomorrow, Mercy will lose her prominence in the game's high-skill meta: the patch effectively reduces how much time she can spend with her staff's beam connected to a single target by promoting triage above all else.
While none of the nerfs directly target her ability to damage boost allies, the developer comments in the patch notes say the changes will"empower Mercy even more as a triage healer and enable her to more often save low health allies." In a fast-paced game like Overwatch 2, where your health can fluctuate a lot, the Mercy changes incentivize her to stay in orbit of her team instead of partnering with a single DPS hero. The changes double down on healing as Mercy's primary role, and it'll be crucial for keeping yourself alive with the new passive.
Other than a slight nerf to the duration of Ana's healing and anti-healing grenade, supports are on the rise: Lucio, Zen, and Brigitte got slight buffs. Lucio and Moira will have their ults up faster to save their allies more often, Zen will have five more shots to fling at enemies, and Brigitte's Repair Pack will instantly heal allies for 25 health in addition to its HoT component.
