Its always people with Ana icons that act like this… 
There was “Nerf Mercy” Spam. “Brigitte” Spam. “Hanzo” spam “Lgbtq” Spam. If it bothers so much either ignore it, mute it, or leave… Had to take a break from here during the Brigitte/Lgbtq spam… Also may I remind the Megathread is still closed they got no where to post.

I said resources would’ve been better spent towards fixing bugs than a rework. Also it’s not 1/100000th times. Also when did I say she was being complained mostly for her bugs?
But what bugs are there to fix?
What bugs would be worth fixing that happen frequently enough to warrent putting off massive changes for the hero?
If they’re not common enough to even get recorded, there’s no reason to even push back this kind of rework.
It’s a rework that put her in the exact spot she was to begin with and had her overpowered for most of it. Thus why fixing bugs would’ve been better time spent.
Except she’s not… Ugh I give up.
I don’t understand this obsession with her honestly, i’m tired of opening the forum and seeing only mercy threads.
This game is not called Mercywatch.
The situation will be fixed… Play other heroes meanwhile or take a break from the game…
Now at least we can choose Ana and not be obliged to switch because it’s a trash pick in comparison to mercy
Like, do you actually want an explanation? Or are you going to continue being really hostile?
Reinhardt has bugs that ruin major parts of his kits. Major parts, including his ultimate. As in it becomes unusable and doesn’t function, which severely detriments him. Because of some of his bugs, he literally can’t perform his function sometimes.
Sombra has bugs that severely detriments her because they ruin a core part of her kit. Those bugs make it so she can’t perform her function sometimes.
Bastion also has some bugs, and sometimes they detriment his ability to take out enemies (i.e. tank mode not firing or firing an empty shot). Because of those bugs, he can’t perform his function sometimes.
This is not the case with Mercy. Guardian Angel, as you brought up, has a bug - but that’s not Mercy’s function. Her function isn’t, “hero who flies”, it’s “hero who heals and revives”. The only time I can recall that she had a bug that made it so she can’t perform that function, was when mass resurrect wouldn’t resurrect the correct number of people that it indicated. But Blizzard wanted to move away from mass resurrect, so fixing it wouldn’t really fix that issue.
To put Mercy’s bugs on the same level as busted as Reinhardt’s is…really bizarre and unfortunate. And I don’t want to say it’s “wrong” but it’s close.
I didn’t say it was on the same level of reinhardt. But you’re right the other characters have severe bugs that should’ve been prioritized over badly done reworks yes. That was my point. There’s actual play-ability issues in the game and they prioritize bs instead.
It’s nearly impossible to have any sort of discussion with most of these Mercy types. They don’t want to listen to your argument, turn hostile, then demand you stop being hostile.
Not saying all of them are like this, but there is quite a few.
Replace Blizzard with Mercy community and you have your answer.
That… doesn’t make sense.
“Mercy players gave you the answer atleast 3 times already. You just choose not to accept it.”
What answer? What are you even meaning here?
That me and rest of the Mercy community has listed valid complaints numerous times and want a better answer to our questions than a “lol she good we ain’t changing her (unless it’s nerfs we’re talking about here lol she gonna get plenty of those)” from the Overwatch team. And up until recently we couldn’t even list those complaints without having them sent to, what is a community meme at this point as the discussion trashcan, where everything goes to be ignored, or risk mod action by posting on the upper-class people’s section of the board (i.e anywhere else).
Devs continue to make terrible balancing decisions and are no longer listening to feedback from the communty. Instead, they turn their eyes to terrible metrics (winrate, pickrate, etc), Overwatch League opinions, and popular streamer opinions.
I’m beating a dead horse at this point. I think it would be a better exercise if you would just ignore Mercy threads if you don’t want to see them so much. It isn’t that hard, really. Stifling discussion you don’t agree with isn’t your call to make.
Here’s the thing. You don’t always get what you want. You want a “better” answer, but Blizzard has already been clear enough. A revert is not happening.
How am I stifiling discussion? I am more of just interrupting the echo chamber that are these Mercy forum topics. Also, what is discussion without any sort of push back? How do you expect to do anything without opposition? If everyone did anything they wanted without opposition, then the world would be in a worse place.
sprinkles greatly over exaggerates things
They’re responding directly to you on an old thread.
Sorry to bring you into this. Needed someone else who actually knew what was happening so you can see this.
Edit: For those of you at home whom are just now tuning in, Akira has a very special history here on the forums.
Not only is this player banned from the forums (permanently) across multiple accounts, of which most they’ve admitted to aren’t theirs or were purchased from someone else, they’re also a troll. They’re so much a troll that they continue to pay Blizzard or use someone else’s account just to continue trolling.
Their previous accounts are under the name “NordBigD” which has been perma banned from the forums by looking at the account, “DrDraken” which was later changed to “WildWolf” as well as “Gene” and “RonStoppable” Throughout all of these accounts, this player has been repeatedly banned for breaking CoC and TOS/EULA by sharing accounts/circumventing a punishment.
You can always find them by the way they talk and the fact they’re commonly in threads spamming about Reaper. In fact, it was so easy to find this behavior that after their last perma ban on “RonStoppable” was determined, it took me no less than a week to find this new account they’re on. If you’ve had interaction with any of these accounts prior, I urge you to link what they said or take a screen shot and send it to Blizzard via a ticket if you feel like it is breaking CoC in this way. Since the average player is unable to report someone for anything other than a general category, you must send a ticket to Blizzard for something of this severity (circumventing bans, harassment, etc).
Frequent things this user says: “lmfao” “Reapers trash” “only bad players die to reaper” “your so bad kid” and other toxic things that would easily be considered inflammatory and/or trolling. This user also frequents the forums and hardly ever uses punctuation. You can see by looking through older accounts and all the posts on this account that there’s hardly any kind of punctuation. Not only do they call people bad but they do it so rapidly, they forget to think about stopping.
I urge everyone in the community, report on sight. This is not tolerated in the Blizzard community and has no place here.
I hope you take this PSA and actually use it for the good of the community and OW as a whole…
eh they quoted you in a response on a thread i was active in so i clicked the link 
if they didn’t want me talking to you idk why they would link you to a post talking about me like what lmfao
um no actually drdraken and wildwolf are 2 different accounts lmao dont you get the reference, and ronstoppable is its own seprate thing for what its worth to everyone that reads sprinkles posts and wants me to get suspended all i really want is an f tier hero to not be trash in my elo and sometimes i might get a bit 2 overly aggressive at ppl who literally have nvr played comp and have less then an hour on reaper like sprinkles… who hasent played ow in months and has less the n5 minutes on over half the roster inb4 they say i have no proof but when they had a public profile you could just click it to see
I mean, this has been almost universally how Mercys have been treated since the begining of the witch hunt by XQC and Seagull, so I guess that makes everyone even?
For real though, as much as Mercys hate that the megathread is a void pit made to silence Mercys, we’d like our thread to stop getting troll-locked minutes after it is unlocked. Maybe there would be less threads getting constantly made if there was a place to go and if someone actually gave half a crap about any of it.
Continuing the discussion from [Feedback Thread Continued Part III] Mercy Updates - Jan 30, 2018:
When the mega was active, threads were locked because they weren’t in the mega thread.
That’s the only reason they were locked that soon.
If players actually posted in the mega, they wouldn’t have their threads locked and Blizzard wouldn’t be spending so much time looking for threads, only to see they’re not in the right place only to be locked.
The mega served the purpose of consolidation. Considering how many Mercy mains there appears to be on these forums, if every Mercy main made 1 thread every week, there’d be ~10 posts every hour about Mercy’s condition. That’s 1 every 5-7 minutes.
It needed to exist. If not to listen to players, to prevent spam.
Well, seeing as it’s currently being insta-locked as soon as possible after it gets unlocked, that effectively leaves no where else for Mercys to post other than new threads to continue the discussion after they get locked and thrown into a locked pit.
Unless what you’re really saying is you want Mercy players to have no right to talk on the forums.
Edit: You’d also be surprised how many of us DID stay in the mega thread to avoid flooding the forums with redundant posts. Kinda sucks that we’re worth about as much as spoiled chopped liver, and kind of really reinforces the notion that a bunch of us are being lumped together with offenders as if we’re all guilty of something we’re not, and that people truly are out of touch with whats happening.
