I understand your feelings and I appreciate them <3
But the thing about Mercy players like myself complaining is that we do it out of love of the game. Not hatred.
To me the perception that somehow us complaining and wanting things to change for the better is somehow negative… it’s disappointing to see. It’s the exact opposite of reality. I had hoped people understood or recognized this for what it truly is, but I am mistaken
The people who complain and are upset here are the ones that want to stay and continue to play this game. We wouldn’t complain if we just wanted to play some other game, but no-- we want to play Overwatch and so we fight to see improvements.
I understand the Mercy threads may be somewhat disappointing to read but they don’t come from a place of destruction, they come from a place of wanting things to improve.
I find it QUITE disheartening actually that the development team seems to view the opinions and thoughts of Mercy mains as some sort of destructive hateful viewpoint. It’s quite the opposite really.
Like for ME I want to play Mercy and want to enjoy this game again. It brought me so much happiness in the past, seriously <3 no sarcasm. I mean it.
But currently I don’t think anyone can really dispute that the current Mercy we have is vastly different from how she was at release. And as someone who wants to continue to love and enjoy this game, with all the changes she’s had it’s become ever-increasingly difficult to enjoy it.
So that’s why you see me post HUGE threads with TONS of effort put in.
My effort I put into threads like these that dwarf almost all other threads comes from a place of LOVE and wanting to enjoy this game more. NOT hatred or destruction or sabotage.
I want things to be better, I want to love this game again. That’s why you see me put in this much effort. <3
Like being honest I have more than enough money to go out and buy any game I want. Including microtransactions (literally spent ~$500 on a particular single game MTX a few days ago.). I have a lot of money IRL and I can buy any game I want at literally any time I want and dump money into micro-transactions if I even need to or want to.
I’m not stuck here, I’m here by choice. Out of LOVE of Overwatch.
Yet… in spite of this all I post here because I WANT to enjoy Overwatch. It’s not hatred, it’s actually a love of this game.
