Mercy Map has no balance

I was playing Team Slayer in Mercy, in the blue team. So, because we’re close to the beam rifle, we went there; obviously the red team decided to go to get the SAW… and the Hammer.
I think the map could be better without the gravity hammer. Because it causes imbalance on that map.
What do you think about that map (Mercy) and its weapons?
Sorry if you can’t understand all my topic, English isn’t my first language.

Each team spawns equidistance away from the Weapon Pads and Hammer.

I think the side you go to determines your playstyle. If you go for Beam Rifle you play defensively, if you go for Saw and Gravity Hammer you play offensively. The Beam Rifle can easily kill a Saw and Grav Hammer if you’re far enough away. The more offensive weapons might have a tough time killing you from a range. Plus, the Grav Hammer respawns faster than the Beam Rifle and Saw, just because it’s not a power weapon. IMO the Beam Rifle is better. It’s just about your playstyle, though…

Yes, but what he is saying is that depending on what side you go to, you either get more or less. If you go for Saw, then you also get Grav Hammer. If you go for Beams, then you just get that. I think an easy fix for this is to place it in the middle of the map, underneath. This way, you are both about equally away from each other, giving you time to get it. Maybe it could be closer to the Saw, like on the other side of the little platform that makes to lanes on the bottom, where the Grav Hammer currently is. If this happens, then it will be closer to the Saw, but it will be risky because the Beam can snipe you.

First of, Mercy is a symmetrical map, which means everything from the opposite sides are the exactly the same. power weapons aren’t that bad when playing team slayer here but i do agree the hammer is somewhat OP here. when playing doubles then its a very unbalanced experience but for teams of 4 its acceptable in my opinion.

Its probably the most balanced Map out there.

If the complaint is that the other team always goes for the hammer/saw while your team goes for the beam, then just go for the hammer/saw instead. Nobody is forcing you to go for the beam rifle, especially since both teams spawn the same distance from all weapon pads.

Yep. Haven had a sword at top mid next to the gap in front of Mowhawk and a sniper down at open.

There is 50 to 50 porcent to both teams to get the power weapons I don’t know what the problem is

just take out the hammer , any map that have a hammer ends up having somebody sprinting mindless around
