As the title says It would be good if we have difficulty levels for merc so that new players will understand how difficult is that merc to handle … For Example
Sparks- 5 difficulty level
Vasilli-4 Difficult level
Proxy- 2 Difficulty level
Skybro- 1 difficulty level
like that for all the mercs … i know still new players rush for free rotation mercs but they would be aware that they must put some effort into the merc to support the game … Thank you
I know it’s just an example, but if this were to happen, there would be no way Proxy is considered more difficult than Skyhammer. Sparks is also pretty easy too.

Yes, that’d be really good! Like in, umm, HOTS for example, where I’ll think trice before hop on Abathur with my level 6, because I clearly see his full “difficulty bar”. And in many other games, for sure.
I don’t think there would be any practical change if a difficulty meter is added. Besides the fact that it would be purely subjective, most people don’t pick who they play based on the difficulty bar in any game.
Yeah that’s what i mentioned … anyhow players will choose who they want but they would have caution about how their gameplay should be

Forgot about
Stoker: -2 Difficulty level
@Kakutov ah come on why do you even start this again … ?? what’s wrong with you ppl … the game isn’t about Proxy VS Stoker !! do not spoil the community please try to act mature !!
Not a bad idea, but Sparks would be much lower. Vassili definitely tops the list. But to be honest, I feel like this wouldn’t change much. Most people would still choose their mercs based on the look/idea they get when they see that merc. People see Vassili for instance and immediately think they’ll be a MLG pro sniper. 
Aimee would be highest, the lower health is a liability, though Vassili would be up there, also, people who don’t play enough Stoker don’t know that using the molotov properly isn’t all that easy, (waiting 30 seconds to probably get a kill is not proper use of the molotov, I personally think that it should have a 25 second cooldown, but that’s just me). Stoker is most effective in area denial, or to counter groups of enemies, which most people do know, but some don’t understand this. Stoker would be around the skill requirement of Arty IMO
As this thread alone shows, people have different views on difficulty of each merc.
You complain about in game levels and now you want even more difficulty power scaling?!
I made a similar thread in merc discussion. Of course it’s highly subjective but that’s why it’s on the merc designer to make a difficulty tier, not the player base.
and where did Overwatch steal it? There is even an example a few posts before yours…
Pretty annoying that everywhere are posts popping up now with OW as base referrence. Like back in the day where suddenly everything was “stolen from CoD” even though it existed 10years before in other shooters…

Skyhammer is actually quite difficult to pull off correctly, there are people out there who just use his flare like a Fragger grenade, don’t know that the cooldown is less when throwing it in-doors, don’t know that the airstrike will always come perpendicular to his throwing location, etc.
Unlocking Mercs at different levels could also help stop newbies from buying vassili
