Fix Genji x Mercy Blizzard Staff

So ships and lore are the only reason I seem enjoyed by this game anymore, so I have one request.

These new Genji x Mercy voicelines in the new season almost made me stop playing marvel rivals and come back but why the heck did you make Mercy say, “we’re still friends aren’t we?”

It makes it sound like she friend zoned him… Look, erasing all their chemistry is something none of us want. She literally asked him to take her out to dinner in OW1 and they did cute Valentine’s chocolate stuff. Please, cmon now. :pleading_face:

I don’t think it was meant to be a friedzone.

From Mercy perspectives Genji basically ghosted her. She was genuinely worried about their friendship and was seeking for reassurance. Which Genji gave in a very poetic way.

Also, its not like Mercy could say “We are still (something else) aren’t we?”, since they never became an official couple or something.

Mercy x genji is gross. He is just a loser with a deformed body and she is a 10/10 and a world famous doctor. Stop trying to make it happen. She is not flirting with him or in love with him, just following the hypocratic oath

They should have made such that it was left to the listening to interpret.

Still stand by what I said and I’m so glad they’re listening and building on their well established relationship! :heart: The new comic was great! More love for them like that please. :heart::heart::heart:

Speak for yourself. Pharmercy is more popular than Gency.
Pharmercy might have even been made canon if Micheal Chu wasn’t a Gency fan.

People still care about this? The lore died when OW2 came.

God no not in a million years, you have people who rot on twitter who like that ship then people who actually care about the lore. Doesn’t help that the last writer had such a unhealthy obsession with Pharmercy. From the looks of it Gency is resurging and that twitter ship can finally die.

Calm down Saberoo let lil bro be with his lady if she chooses him.

Be a good big bro even if you are a shimmada traitor he already has some tough competition in the skies.

See if I was the game developer mercy will always stay single while flirting with both pharah and genji and hinting at both from time to time along with skins sales.:joy:

They could always try throuples, though i expect with genji it’s more likely to end up like this :joy:

With lifeweaver probably coming instead of dandelion :laughing:

Besides, Mercy mains these days would rather spending time buying her new skins than playing “match-making” and “shipping game”.

Lore is dead. Skin shops are the future.

Mercy is clearly in love with Ingrid’s apple pie.

Both Genji and Mercy VA are gency fans as well.

And Michael Chu is the og lead writer. I always found it disrespectful that OW2 writers (a they/them person, later a pick me boy) didn’t continue that arc and instead made a hard pivot to pharmercy, which means Gency would be canon if those two weren’t pharmercy fans.

I think they both got fired though :+1:, which might be why we’re seeing a bit more gency interaction again.

Pharmercy is f/ing CREEPY.

Literally in Ana’s story there’s a picture where Mercy is like a young adult and Pharah is literally a child.

Yuck. That is so much worse than a Doctor/Patient relationship.

Also what do you mean? Michael Chu ALSO liked Gency?

She is fine with any ships. When she met S76 VA, she mentioned “Team mom and dad” thing.

He wasn’t. Chris Metzen set everything up, but he retired because he wanted to spend time with his family.
When OW1 came out, there’s a graphic novel cooked and ready but it was cancelled and then the lore began with the retcons.

It’s even more creepy how Mercy is touching Torbjorn.

She’s fine with any ship because she knows the implication of picking a favorite, but she and the genji VA together commissioned a gency art work.

What you mean he wasn’t? For much of OW1 after release he was the lead writer. You can’t take that from him.

This kind of thing is always said by the people who were never that into the lore to begin with.

That’s literally not true…they have a 5 year age difference… both are underage in that photo.

Point remains that its still weird, very weird. I wouldn’t wanna date someone I knew or babysat when I was a teenager. It’s such a weird ick.

At least Genji and Mercy are only two years apart.

Blizzard Dev’s lurking in the forums , awww they still care about us and lore , they didn’t all go to rivals guys :laughing::hugs:
