42. Mercy (Overwatch) - https://imgur.com/bSIUrLb

Overwatch's cast is one of the most diverse and likable of any game I've played, but Mercy stands amongst them as one of the best in the game. As Overwatch was really the first game of its kind I had ever played, I was intrigued by the idea of a character who's primary mode of play was a lot more passive and supportive rather than strictly being focused on kills. I found it just as exhilarating to zip around the battlefield trying to give all my teammates healing and critical damage boosts as I did using say, Soldier: 76 to rack up the kills. Mercy has seen a roller coaster ride of nerfs and buffs over the course of the game's lifespan, but she still remains by go-to healer when I play Overwatch.

Like all Overwatch characters, Mercy's design is distinct, colorful, and fits her character and play style perfectly. It really goes a long way towards feeling like a guardian angel when you actually look like one. Mercy's specially designed Valkyrie suit looks equal parts cool, badass, and a well-suited, realistic look for a futuristic combat medic to wear on the battlefield. Besides the angel wings, my favorite aspect of the suit is the Caduceus depicted on the back. Great touch there.

Mercy herself is very cheerful, kind, bubbly, and even a little snarky going by a few emotes and voice lines. Blizzard kind of ran with the idea of Mercy as the "team mom" and perhaps going just a little crazy over her teammates constantly requesting healing, and many of her event voice lines reflect this, which is pretty funny to me (because it's so true!). This is probably just my head canon talking here, but I also see Mercy as having a bit of a darkside, with skins like Devil, Imp, and Witch being the polar opposites of her standard angel personality.

I always feel most fulfilled when I play Mercy in Overwatch, and though it can get very stressful, Mercy's cheerful presence and ability to pull off clutch plays with just a few heals here and there can make absolutely any match a joy to be in.
