Overwatch: Ranking All 25 Characters From Worst To Best

3. Mercy

While always the most effective healer in the game, Mercy has enjoyed a buff to her abilities in recent updates, making her even more of a viable member of any Overwatch squad.

Teaming up with specific characters to keep them constantly patched up while boosting their damage, with Mercy's support even unassuming heroes can be transformed into invulnerable death machines.

Plus, her ability to quickly fly to friendly players in need and even revive fallen heroes makes her one of the most important characters on the battlefield. But being so essential is a quick way to get a target on your head, and Mercy is usually the hero that everyone pounces on first.

Being the head of the snake that every enemy player is trying to chop off can sometimes make Mercy frustrating to play as, but with a good team and a few slick tricks, good Overwatch players can easily cause havoc and lead their squad to success in any given multiplayer match with this hero.
