Can we stop with the Mercy spam?

You got one though…
I’m not sure what’s so hard to understand about “We think mercy’s in a fine place. We aren’t going to change her for the time being” from JEFF HIMSELF.

No the players broke the megathread.

Spamming the same thing over and over leads to flagging it as spam leads to it getting locked.

At that time when Jeff mentioned Mercy in a thread about Brigitte Mercy mains were not concerned about her balance wise, they were concerned about her being boring.

You must be kidding. Even with official megagrave running ,there were still at least 6 separate Mercy topics per day. They were just swiped away faster.

Also, Blizz gave you the answer at least 3 times already. You just chose not to accept it. And what’s the point of repeating something over and over if they don’t listen? to fill up forums with mirrored topics? It’s spam. Pointless spam.

Hot take: spam won’t make the devs listen to you. It just makes the mods ban you.

It also makes otherwise neutral people unsympathetic.

I highly doubt that there are people who spend that much time flagging the thread right as it opens to have it be locked. A popular idea is that the flags from other posts merged into the megathread affect the thread. So with that theory, technically it is Blizzard’s fault for not putting in the time to fix it.

Honestly, mercy spam is getting as annoying as the LGBT spam. So yes, players are fed up with it. And yes, we are starting to flag everything we see that’s about mercy as spam. Because it is.

Nevermind Jeff said that before more nerfs. She’s been nerfed again. Also, them thinking Mercy is in a fine place is no gauge on if she actually is in a fine place. At that point in time, if you asked anyone who plays her I guarantee they would have disagreed with that. Even now, pretty sure many people disagree.

May I ask you what exactly you want us to do then? If we aren’t allowed to post threads because it’s repetitive to you and like 100 other people? Compared to the thousands of Mercy players who are unhappy with how she’s being treated? What do we do, genuinely tell me. Because the only way we’ll get ANY change is if we keep talking. We aren’t happy, and we are not being treated well. How many massive posts pointing out how Mercy is flawed at the moment do we need to make to make our point matter?

“Why won’t they talk about possibility of reverts?”

If Mercy is fixed, then people will stop posting concerns. Until she is fun again, people will not stop posting topics.

We don’t actually know this since they never answered anything, haven’t been banned yet for “spamming”.

I don’t see how that would work but okay.

Can’t post links because level system.

I’m not so sure about that. Remember when D.Va mains whined their way into making her able to do everything and now she’s in 99% of team comps.

“We have no plans to revert Mercy.”
Like how they had no plans to change Mercy because of her pickrate, but here we are.

Make a megathread and keep it there. Like Sombra, Bastion, Mei and Symmetra players did, for which they’ll have my eternal respect.

“Oh, but devs don’t read those megathreads”. Yeah, right. Like they read forums at all.

The fact that certain prolific Mercy posters have to cycle between different accounts makes me doubt that, somehow.

As for the second part, easy. First time I read about how Mercy isn’t fun I can kinda relate. Fast forward a few months and it’s still the same topics dominating the front page despite dev acknowledgement (yes, you were acknowledged, the answer just wasn’t what you wanted)? Frankly I’m just gonna want y’all to shut up.

I honestly don’t see what’s wrong with what the OP is trying to say. Yeah, mercy’s balance is a hot topic and it always will be because a LOT of people like playing her. It’s okay to complain about it-- to a certain extent, I think.

Also I don’t think this is a mercy main topic problem either. This is a general problem that all forums have to maintain-- spamming the same topics over and over, whether it is about mercy or how Summer Games suck.
