Fun is subjective. I find her fun and plenty of other people do so as well.

Blizzard have made multiple changes before for other heroes regarding fun. An example of this is Hanzo’s scatter. Also, I and plenty of others don’t find her fun.

@Undertone-2728

Fun and balance are two different things, nor do they have the same prioritization. You cannot have something to be blatantly overpowered just because it’s fun. A little bit redundant to even mention.

I never said they weren’t and they should have the same prioritization. Otherwise, you’ll have a balanced game but the playerbase has moved on because fun wasn’t focused on enough.

Overpowered isn’t the only way to have fun?

@Undertone-2728

Like I said, fun is not a metric because it’s subjective.

And like I said, they’ve made changes before regarding fun so clearly, subjective or not, they don’t care.

@Undertone-2728

Mass Rez was unhealthy for the game, hence why it’s no longer in the game.

Elaborate on the unhealthy aspects and tell me what couldn’t be fixed with simple tweaks amongst those unhealthy aspects.

@Undertone-2728

Game balance has relevance to this discussion. That’s what this discussion is all about.

Ok then. I believe this game is in it’s worst state, it has ever been in.

@Undertone-2728

Anyway, I don’t want to turn this thread into yet another debate about Mercy.

Oh, I’ll take my leave then after I finish this reply.

@Undertone-2728

She is fine, she is fun

I disagree. She is not fine, fun and balanced.

@Undertone-2728

Please use another thread to discuss her state - there’s 12928913823 of them.

Okayyy.

@Undertone-2728

I would like to see you back them claim up.

Basically, immediately after her rework her pickrate halved. This was before she became a must pick. Conclusion? A large number of people must’ve quit. That is an unnecessary loss.

@Accuroso-1984

You know, not to be mean or anything, but we can sweep this under they didn’t like change. Tbh I wouldn’t like my hero changed like that.

I mean, that may be a reason but we still know that large quantity of the Mercy playerbase stopped playing the game. An unnecessary loss…

@Accuroso-1984

I’m actually curious as to what you have in mind.

Mass Res with a cast time, LoS fixes, and damage reduction or burst heal instead of Invulnerability. Also, make it so you don’t need someone to die to use it and instead heals the surrounding players by 100HP. For a new e ability, Pacify or Halo would be fine. Both are found here:

@Accuroso-1984

The biggest problem is that we don’t have a sustainable source for happiness, I mean, from what I have seen, there are only around 40 Mercy mains on the forums advocating for a revert or mass rez from what I have seen.

If we were to use Titanium’s infamous, Why I Have Yet to Not Despise Mercy's Current State as a basis, and compare it to a thread that says Mercy is fine, in terms of popularity, Titanium’s thread’s win. 1700+ confirmed players are not happy with her current state. If we were to use that as a sample size, it would likely point at those unhappy with her state to be a large number.

@Accuroso-1984

Much confusion. Have my birdies committed treason? OFF TO THE PLATE

You’re funny! What I meant is, statistics.

Anyway, the OP doesn’t want me to discuss Mercy’s current state here so with that, I take my leave. Have fun y’all! I won’t be responding to replies in this thread anymore.
