Summary
AnOverwatch 2fan just shared a concept for a Mercy rework that would transform her into a dual-wielding menace. This hilarious idea would undoubtedly make the infamous flying support hero inOverwatch 2even more notorious than she already is.
During the history ofOverwatchandOverwatch 2, few support heroes have been as polarizing as Mercy. The powerful healer has undergone some drastic changes throughout her existence, with abilities like Resurrect being reworked completely.Mercy’s fans inOverwatch 2are vocal and passionate as her foes, and both sides constantly seek changes to the hero.
Now,Overwatch 2fan LaserBungalow shared their own concept for a Mercy rework on Reddit. They posted an altered screenshot that showed her wielding her pistol and Caduceus staff simultaneously, as she does in the Battle Angel highlight intro. Their Mercy rework idea would replace the damage boost with the ability to heal and fire at the same time, without the need to swap weapons. While a rough concept, LaserBungalow’s idea would drastically alterhow theOverwatch 2hero plays, as others have changed since the sequel’s launch.
All Hero Reworks in Overwatch 2 So Far
If the over 700 comments are any indication, LaserBungalow’s fellowOverwatch 2fans got a kick out of their Mercyrework concept. This was in no small part because of their comical editing job, which renders Mercy with two left hands. While LaserBungalow admittedOverwatch 2would do a much better job in an actual rework, fans couldn’t help but laugh at the hilarious image, claiming something about their idea was “not right.”
Despite the hilarity, many admitted LaserBungalow’s idea had merit. Some claimed they think it would reduce her passivity while making her gameplay and balance morein line with modernOverwatch 2matches. That said, others think removing her damage boost would make her useless. Players will have to see how close LaserBungalow’s idea is if Mercy ever receives another drastic redesign like she did during the originalOverwatch.
