10 Best Overwatch Characters - Ranked

Backstory: Mercy has a deceptively simple character concept. She’s a doctor. She obviously has experience being a field medic, or she wouldn’t be qualified to take part in battle, but she’s not some wacky, over the top character like many other medics in gaming.

She might be very technologically advanced, but she’s not a mad scientist, or some type of shaman, she’s just a doctor. She often makes mention to the fact too, through her voice lines. Blizzard have done a great job taking such an every day concept and working it in to the game in such spectacular fashion. 8/10

Abilities: You never feel disconnected from the match when playing Mercy. She can easily dart around via use of her angelic wings, and she can both heal and buff allies with her primary weapon. She’s also got what many would consider the most impactful ult in the game, being able to instantly revive dead teammates. Whether you’re reviving one, or five allies, your ult never feels wasted, and charges up again fairly quickly. 9/10

Design: Mercy delivers when it comes to her skins too. Her standard legendaries aren’t to my personal taste, but they’re still well designed, and her witch skin very well may be one of, if not the nicest skins in game. 8/10

Score: 8.5/10
