Players of Overwatch, particularly those who do not main Mercy, may find themselves disappointed with the return of what is known as the Mercy Moth Meta.
This infamous meta, which made its mark during earlier Overwatch gameplay, saw Mercy gaining the ability to resurrect teammates rapidly, making her nearly unstoppable. According to Overwatch’s official account, this event will run from February 4 to February 18, allowing players to revisit this chaotic gameplay style.
Mercy’s resurrection capabilities during this time will bring back fond or infamous memories for many, but as some players cheer her return, others brace for the havoc it may bring. One player exclaims, ‘MERCY MY BABY UR BACK.’
Additionally, classic mechanics are returning for Doomfist, who will regain his original DPS role, and Orisa, who will see a return of her earlier abilities. While these changes evoke nostalgia for some, it will be a challenge for others who prefer the current balance of the game.
For those compelled to experience the past, Overwatch Classic promises to deliver a slice of gameplay history, though opinions on its merits vary widely. Some players share a nostalgic yearning for these moments, while others express relief at the evolution of the game’s current meta.
