Ok to keep this train going
Especially considering that you used “That Quote” of all things.
For starters this line
Was to address the specific interactions between abilities devs bring up in abilities as a caveat to the previous statement.
As Nano interacting with Genji, junkrat tire being blocked by sound barrier,etc
These are not comparing heroes of the same role as to provide reasoning for such changes. But using specific interaction to provide an example of a situation.
As in they would never say we are buffing Mercy to meet the standards of Ana.
But instead providing a proper rebuttal to such statement you use such caveats to try to prove my statement wrong, then make fun of the specific example I gave exempting such examples.
Meaning that whole chunk of text does nothing for you M8. Outside of “That Quote” Which is the sole example of them at least indirectly comparing the supports with each other.
Be it that I do like how you highlighted the part the does back up my claims regarding the influence 60hps mercy had on the game. Well before the rest of the supports had their healing reduced as well. Yet you insist that this of all things be the change to “fix her”. When without a doubt it would be the thing that would make her yet a again broken.
Also I would like to remind you that two months prior to the mercy healing change, Ana did get an increase to her fire rate which in turn increases her healing.
Ya the general public were still getting use to Ana at that point in time, but considering that the devs do collect data on the performance of such heroes.
And considering that they had two months of data demonstrating Ana’s potency, ontop of the fact that the triple tank Meta started just a few weeks after the mercy change with videos dating back sept 26 of that same year.
Even then their were plenty of issues regarding Ana’s meta status well before such, primarily the use of an Ana’s Nano to break into a choke and the need of an opposing Ana to sleep such target.
So ya that mercy change was by all means influenced by ana’s existance, as well as potential/visible potency.
Also I would like to not that she only really got one major buff prior to Ana and that was with self healing be cooldown being reduced from 3 to 1 second upon receiving damage. And outside of that her ult was nerfed by 30%, as well as preventing her beam from stacking with other mercy’s.
and on side note limitations on Ana’s nade I meantioned before. It was an ability that could be blocked, eaten, missed, or even forced to be used solely on her self if threaten. So ya it had limitations.
That and I would much prefer you take half a second to pounder the meaning and context of such statement, before of course isolating it and poking of the statement without even a hint that you took such elements into consideration.
And on the topic of synergies again what ever definition you define is by all means extremely narrow. Be it that by your very definition Rien being nano boosted to reap the extra value that boosting gives to his ult charge is by all means a synergy. Not a Significant one by any means, but one none the less.
For the OWL post Ya she is under powered at the moment we covered that tidbit an interaction and a half ago. And yes she is primarily being used to exploit so pretty potent synergies between Ashe and Pharah, That however isn’t exactly pushing your argument forward, but at most stalling the conversation.
Torb on the other hand does have 200hp + 50 armor and even more when utilizing his ability, Don’t know where you have been.
Hogs hook does leave them stunned long enough for them to hit by a single shot of gun and maybe a melee depending on if their abilities are on cooldown. Even though its not recommended to do so its more then possible to hook combo them with a pre-fire prior to hook. Or of course a mercy damage boost to even the odds. That and adding like a point and a half damage to hook its self is rather funny to me.
Also I do quite enjoy the rework in it’s self However I will say rez was a bad idea from the start.
Also pickrates in any rank that isn’t of the higher end is kind of junk data as anything below maybe diamond are people playing what they want regardless of such really. Ya meta in general does have an effect on such ranks, however its not prevalent at in their effectiveness at such ranks. That and people really like the sniper granny over vanilla angel woman. Sad truth but truth all the same.
for one you posted her rework statistics not her healing statistics past the 50hps change. secondly you provided me with “That Quote” which states otherwise to a quite significant degree.
That and you should never use vacuum outputs to back up your statements. like really? That has nothing to do with are argument. Ya if Ana had nothing blocking and everyone stayed perfectly still and politely stand in a small circle to always get 100% of her nades and shots in the most effeciant way of course she is going to more powerful.
Mercy has 53% winrate in grand master and the third most played support in literrialy rank except plat for some reason.
And again she needs a change but not 60hps one.
and while were on the topic of healing once again you nit pick the limitations of the beam such as such as its breaking a second past lossing LOS, which is odd because you poked fun at me for even mentioning such on Ana’s nade.
And god for bid No I do not want Rez to be buffed, you delusional individual. I want it retooled to something more of a preventative measure, something that I mentioned in a previous post. And quite frankly it is because of that Rez that she can not be directly buffed in any meaningful way.
Lower its potency, make it a precaution not an undo button, all to simply give mercy something she can use without being shackled to such extreme restrictions.
All in all You brought no meaning full arguments to the table, failed to provide any substantial evidence to why 60hps is needed. And did nothing but try to poke fun of my out of context quotes.
good day sir, you I’m done for the night.
That aside, 10 seconds for anti-nade in that iteration isn’t bad at all.
