Blizzard has confirmed that it will be tweaking both Mercy and Symmetra in the Overwatch 2 beta mid-cycle patch.on the official website, Blizzard said that the team has been hard at work"compiling player feedback, [and] squashing bugs", and revealed that part of this will be revisiting Mercy's changes in light of fan feedback.

"This is super cool; however, it was completely unintentional. Mercy’s super jump was the result of a bug that occurred during Guardian Angel, but players made it a part of her utility," the blog continues."We liked the idea of a bug turned into a feature, so the changes to Mercy in this beta were meant to make the super jump more reliable and consistent.

Looking ahead, players will now be in control of when Mercy jumps, as Guardian Angel will no longer automatically launch Mercy into the air. Instead, there'll be a meter that charges when the ability is active and the more charge there is, the further she'll go if you do decide to jump. Although Blizzard had made some changes to Symmetra in anticipation of"faster paces, more engagements, and less barriers" in Overwatch 2, it now agrees these aren't enough, and will be increasing secondary fire projectile size from .4 back to .5, and reducing the cooldown of both her secondary fire charge time and her Teleporter . There are also changes to speed up her primary fire beam to level 3"to help compensate for less tanks and shields to charge it up".
