I know a lot of people say she’s OP/very strong, but I find her really hard to play. I main Moira/Juno and recently started playing Mercy. When I fly as Juno or Mercy, I usually don’t die much, and I feel like my Gold teammates struggle to shoot me. But when I play jetpack cat, it’s so easy to die. I ult—I die. I fly—I die. The moment I show up in front of enemies, I get deleted instantly.

I also have really bad aim, and her aim feels extremely hard. I’ve had so many moments where I watched teammates die in front of me because I couldn’t hit my shots. I barely have this problem on Juno.

Also, using the teammate pickup is hard since I need their consent, and I don’t duo or use voice chat. It’s difficult to get value from her kit.

Besides KarQ’s ability review, I don’t see many tutorials. I’ve watched Aspen/Frogger/ML play her, and it looks fun, but I don’t really learn many tips and tricks. All the struggles I have don’t seem to be issues for them.

Any advice?

Does anyone remember that famously bad doomfist player who has a clip on oasis gardens where he dove in, killed nothing and then when trying to punch out he punches a wall and falls off the map?

This seems like a very significant change, does this mean that the support heroes that can pump out more damage or can easily do aoe damage are going to be better, and the outdated "healbot" supports like mercy/lifeweaver are going to be even worse? It's not really that the dps supports are going to be OP and dominate the lobby, but it seems much less useful to heal now, and healing was already low on the priority list.

Bonus points for supports that don't have to choose between healing and damage like zen/lucio/the new guy, and wuyang (sort of).

Moira's tickle damage orb is basically now an orb of -30% healing (utility on moira no way), and you basically decrease the effectiveness of two enemies (supports) now by 70% on squishies unless they are also doing damage?

I think with the math, Moira's 65 damage suck is now going to be the same as Ana's reduced healing per second (93*0.7)=65 on a squishy.

Ball seems like he's going to benefit a bit too, you just roll into the entire enemy team as per normal with your combo and they get -30% healing for a while, he's going to be quite scary now I would think.

Played a few games with him this morning. the gameplay was...fine. The rifle does decent damage if you can land triple-dink headshots. But the falloff feels surprisingly severe and the damage doesn't feel great compared to some other people in his niche like Baptiste and Soldier.

The base kit grenades are hard to land directly and I had more success using them as a zoning tool than an initiator.

The siphon blaster is a great GTF off tool, and makes him resistant to dive. Not intended to be lethal, but just defensive tool. No complaints there.

The one exception is his ultimate, which feels extremely strong and is right up there with Bob and Overclock for DPS ults.

So overall, he feels very balanced but underwhelming. I can't think of a situation where I would play him over my other mains, Sojourn and Soldier. I think Halo fans will love having him as an option, but I don't think he will be meta-defining anytime soon.

interested to here everyone else's thoughts.
