I’m going to get a lot of hate for this but Mercy’s movement needs to be addressed she is the most elusive hero on the roster right now,
with almost no CC left it’s like playing duck hunt on hard mode trying to hit her
This has been an issue this season across all skill tiers especially gold and below, because mechanically people can’t even hit mercy close to consistently so she has sub 5 deaths per game even in comp matches
This Mercy main is taking an “Intro to debate” course, lol. This is a gaming forum, professor, we’re not going to provide citations or empirical evidence to support statements which are widely known and accepted.
Many top500 have made the same claim as OP. She’s got busted movement. Want proof? just search Mercy Op in these forums and see the hundreds of posts this week about it.
I watch a lot of t500 streamers and even insane hitscan like wanted sometime struggle to kill her. I can only imagine how bad it is at lower ranks where people can’t aim.
But then again - she doesn’t really have anything else in the midfight, so meh…I think it’s probably fine.
A “big word fallacy” is a type of logical fallacy where someone uses a complex or technical term in an argument to make it seem more credible or convincing, but without actually providing any substance or evidence to support it. This type of fallacy is also sometimes referred to as “using jargon” or “jargon dumping.” It’s important to recognize that using big words or technical terms doesn’t necessarily make an argument sounder, and it’s more important to focus on the logic, evidence, and reasoning behind the argument.
But I still stand by the “They need more Support players to fix Matchmaking, more than they need anybody else, including streamers and OWL Pros”.
But I guess we still haven’t reached the point where it’s commonly accepted that a lack of Support players has anything to do with bad Matchmaking, despite how obvious it should be.
I think it’s a combination of issues. Matchmaking is a part, but the biggest issue is balance. The entire game is based around killing supports now, and it seems that the devs enjoy the idea of making OP heroes that are specifically designed to make our lives hell. 1 shots, unkillable tanks, dive heroes.
It’s not fun to be a support, even when matchmaking is perfect.
Making mercy unkillable, or ana a anti-spam bot, or kiriko a cleanse bot, doesn’t address the core issue with supports.
Hero usage variety for the top 1% of the playerbase is laughably unimportant compared to Matchmaking Speed and Matchmaking Quality.
They could disband OWL entirely, lose every streamer, and lose half the GM playerbase and it would barely matter at all if that’s what it costs to fix Matchmaking.
