BECAUSE, if this was done to ANY other hero, their Ult put on their “E” ability and an ability type put on their Ult…
Seriously, would you like the “Mercy Treatment” done to McCree or Soldier?
You would be pissed as hell. On top of that WE TOLD THEM THE REWORK WAS OVERPOWERED before release.
This is just another “Butt Gate” where they wanted to change a character and gave a lame excuse to cover it up. In this case to get her into OWL and to slowly remove her Rez from the game, NOT because her Ult was bad but because she countered so many DPS mains Ults. BEFORE rework there were 3 counters to a team wiping Ult storm.
- Zenyatta’s Ultimate, during Ult Storm
- Lucio’s Ultimate, during Ult Storm
- Mercy’s Ultimate, AFTER Ult Storm
Then y’all come up with “It’s not counterable once she presses “Q””:
- Doomfist- where the F— did he go? You can’t even find him.
- Mei- that Ice Storm is not gonna stop, the only counter to it is as she is throwing IF you have a Genji and he deflects it or a D.Va eats it.
- Transcendence- nope, no counter to that, just have to wait it out
So why all the Hate, because she reversed all the DPS showboating, ummm I mean “Hard Work”, by reversing 3 to 4 Ults being used at one time trying to get that SWEET PoG. As far as “Hide and Rez”, now she HAS to “Hide TO Rez” and how many other Heroes hide then pull their Ults?
- McCree- not fighting for up to a full minute to get a proper position to pull Ult.
- Hanzo- hell, he can fire his from behind a wall being totally safe, or from Spawn under Gibraltar, which was fixed so that Mercy couldn’t Rez from under final drop-off on that map.
- Reaper- TP Above enemy team and drop down, or ghost into the middle of them.
- Junkrat - can start his tire from Spawn if he likes and pull a Team Kill
- Mei- sneaking behind enemy team and throwing her Ult into the middle of the enemy team
I could go on and on, but I think I have made my point that it is a “Double Standard” where the DPS (the largest group of Heroes in the game) complained en mass that her Ultimate was unfair because she could bring her whole team back. That she hides, well yeah don’t DPS pull the same thing? Though MOST of us DID NOT play “Hide and Rez”, even when such WONDERFUL examples of humans like xQc were screaming their heads off for us to “Hide and Rez”. If you, as a Soldier 76 and McCree main, do not understand why we are pissed about this whole situation by now, then you never will.
It’s not like there have been 7 other Mega Threads prior to this one with suggestions, ideas, and plain old dissatisfaction to what the developers have been pulling. OH YEAH, there WERE. We are on our 8th Mega-Thread, an what REALLY burns our butt is not that Jeff said on February 8th, and I quote:
"We have no plans to revert Mercy. We also feel like she’s not in a horrible place or unplayable.
It’s still to be determined if she is exactly where she should be because it has been too soon and the dust needs to settle. Her playtime in QP and Comp is still incredibly high. Her winrate is still above 50% but more in line with what we’d expect.
But I’d like to put the notion that Mercy is going to be reverted to rest.
Also, we don’t agree with the statement that all supports are weak. Support heroes are extremely powerful and impactful in OW."
It is WHERE he said it, in the “Devs-Where Are You” thread h ttps://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20761616811#post-7, NOT the Mega-Thread which starts here h ttps://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20761088072?page=1
