Overwatch Classic's 'Moth Meta' Mode Disappoints Fans with Altered Mercy Mechanics

Fans criticize Blizzard for changes to Mercy's abilities in the nostalgic mode, which fails to fully recreate the infamous 2017 meta.

Overwatch Classic: Moth Meta launched on February 4, recreating the controversial 2017 gameplay period but with noticeable changes to Mercy's abilities.
Players expected Mercy's instant Resurrect and bonus Resurrect during her Valkyrie ultimate, but these features were replaced with nerfed mechanics from later patches.
Mercy's Guardian Angel ability also received a speed reduction, further deviating from the original Moth Meta experience.
While Mercy players expressed frustration, Doomfist fans celebrated his return to a damage-dealing role, showcasing his high mobility and disruptive gameplay.
The mode, part of Overwatch Classic's limited-time events, runs until February 17 alongside a Valentine's Day event offering additional rewards.
