Yeah, and you are trying to use that in an argument for players that only play soloq really? Where teams don’t play together and just fuels the argument that Mercy was reworked for pro play and pro play only. Moira has the potential to carry her team. Mercy doesn’t and she is team reliant. There is no playmaking ability in her kit making her bad unless you DuoQ with another person that you can feel confident in pocketing.
I think 8 months of silence warrants enough time for a “response”

Considering they did say in the post about scatter arrow that other reworks were coming up but too unsure to say anything specifically, they could certainly say something to that effect regarding Mercy given the amount of chatter there is about her. “We’re listening to your comments about Mercy and we will take time to look into fixing her, but nothing is solid enough to give you any timelines or specifics”. Or even “we’ve heard your feedback, and feel that Mercy is in the state we want her in and will not be prioritizing her since we have other things we’d like to work on”
Not hard to be semitransparent with your very vocal playerbase.
He position now is not ok XD she is still one of the best healers the nerfs upset people because she is no longer an sr factory and is now balanced with other healers. Healers are in a good spot at the moment as all are viable and this is due to the mercy nerf.
Silent people are silent.
I never said nor implied that they’re undecided, happy/unhappy, or indifferent.
I said they were silent just because they couldn’t be bothered to speak about how they actually feel.
That is the only thing that I’ve said in regards to silent people.
The other two points regarding statistics and heurism quite clearly explain that it’s statistically and more self-evident to be a widespread feeling than it is to be “vocal and toxic minority”. The probability that everyone is either happy or indifferent is way too low.
What you see in these vocal subgroups, is largely what would be represented in the community at maximum population. The numbers likely scale upwards.
she was also made meta for months

I mean, I’ve got 500 hours in Mercy across all my accounts but what do I know.
I play Mercy, I fly around, I am hard to kill, the end.

What if they come out and say she’s fine that would prompt more whining saying blizz doesn’t care.
Objectively she’s fine she’s just a heal bot now and fun is a subjective term
Reverts are terrible and imo you couldn’t make progress if you did
I have 500 hours split through all of my accounts as well I do the same but I was much more impactful on my own back then.
That would be such a PR nightmare that they’d actually see huge number drops. Which they can’t afford mid OWL season.
Not every hero is a carry. Mercy is not a carry. Lucio is not a carry. Being the star of the show, and an integral part of the team are two different things. Maybe Moira works better for you. Mercy is still the superior pick when you have a team who knows an inkling of what they’re doing.
The silence is understandable
thats were the real issues and the perceived issues come to play my friend
14k probably all the mercy mains so in the same light, I call for all torb mains to unite and make blizzard turn him into the easiest and most viable hero in the game.
she isnt the 3rd most picked hero overall because people dont think she is fun to play.
Relying solely on a team in soloq and not having any way to change the flow of a team fight in favour of your team isn’t the way any hero should be developed.
Atleast Lucio has an ultimate.
Moira works better in any situation because she is much better.
Understandable, maybe.
But the fact that they’re garbage collecting, and refusing to even engage in PR speak of “we hear you, we’re listening, we’re not sure what to do right now”, is a telltale sign of incompetence regarding communication.
An incompetence that they’ve repeated multiple times with Widow, D.Va, Hog, and even Doomfist for a time. Mercy just takes the cake in terms of community feedback, because she was the most accessible character…
100 people on their dev team and they can’t have one person say the above courtesy PR message?
- Not that I enjoy throwing shade, but even Bungie is more communicative of glaring problems with Destiny 2, that Blizzard is with their characters.
There’s something horribly wrong when Blizzard totes themselves as being very receptive to their own community, and doesn’t acknowledge the most vocal thread to date.
Ironically enough, OWL stats show that Valkyrie is pretty lackluster.
I’ve cited this numerous times, but across a sample of around 300 OWL team fights, Valkyrie actually reduces the likelihood Mercy will win a team fight by .5%.
Mathematically speaking, it has little to no impact.
That’s simply not true.

FUUF - Fights Ult Used Fought - Number of fights where player used his ult - 819
FUU - Win percentage of fights where hero used his ult - 53.36%
Ult Eff - Calculated as ‘win % of fights where hero used his ult’ - ‘win% of fights where hero didn’t use ult’ - +6.04%
So, yeah. It has the same impact as Zen’s ult (+6.06%) and 2x more than Ana’s ult (+2.50%).
P.S.
It’s necessary to click on Page 2 or Page 3 to see some of these stats.
I feel like people don’t understand that there are 14k plus people all talking about the same issue but giving different ideas like the devs can read an ever expanding list about a hero who’s fine statically
But if you compare McCree to the other characters that fill the same role, he is definitely lacking. Soldier has better sustained dps and survivability and Widow can kill quicker and is effective at long range. Even though I’m a Cree main, I still prefer to play Widow over him in comp because he’s very situational at best.
As for Rein vs Orisa, her shield can be sustained much longer than Rein’s unless its ulted. Her cc is more consistent and she gets it a lot more often and she doesn’t have to drop the shield to perform any of her abilities or do damage. Orisa is much more versatile than Rein is. The only time Rein is a much better pick is payload maps where his advantage is being able to be somewhat mobile with his shield, so you don’t have to stack the cart as much when pushing.
Appologies for the late reply.
