Overwatch 2's new 'Moth Meta' mode aimed to revive the excitement of playing Mercy from 2017, but players found it disappointing. Instead of showcasing her peak power post-October 2017 patch, Blizzard reverted her abilities to an earlier, less favorable state. The nerfed Valkyrie and longer cast time for her resurrection ability made her less effective. Meanwhile, Doomfist thrived in this mode, reminiscent of his dominant past, overshadowing Mercy's return. Overall, players encountered a frustrating experience rather than the nostalgic joy they anticipated.
"If this is a Moth Mercy patch, why is this a nerfed Valkyrie?" asked one Reddit user who pointed out the discrepancies in Overwatch: Classic's version of the hero.
As a result, Mercy isn't anywhere close to the peak of her power, which sours the mode's entire premise.
Overwatch: Classic also doesn't include the bug that allowed Mercy players to pop into the air - a mechanic Overwatch 2 made official.
Players are sharing clips of Classic's Doomfist flying across rooftops to take them out just like old times.
