Mercy (Overwatch)

Mercy is the call sign of Angela Ziegler, a character who first appeared in the 2016 video game Overwatch, a Blizzard Entertainment–developed first-person hero shooter, and the resulting franchise. Voiced by Lucie Pohl, she is a Swiss doctor who provided key medical support for the original Overwatch group. In-game, she is a support-class hero who can heal, buff, and resurrect teammates. The character is one of the more popular in the game, being noted by Blizzard to be the most played support character during the game's beta. However, her resurrect ability has been criticized in competitive and professional play levels, given the swing in momentum the ability creates. Her gameplay mechanics have undergone various reworks and patches in an attempt by Blizzard to make her a more well-rounded playable hero.
