if you where shamed for it i would think so lol
I’ve been made fun of more than a few times for playing a lot of Mercy. Had a three-stack once who complained the entire game about how people who play Mercy don’t deserve their rank, are trash etc, all the overused insults you can think of. so I got kinda fed up and switched to Zen next round. after a while they say ‘We need a Mercy! Can someone play Mercy?’ 
We ended up winning without even having a Mercy, but it was honestly kinda funny.

I usually get shamed or level but I don’t care much.
Also for my winrate for widow but i use her only when I am triggered anyway.
Someone told me I was too bad to play Ana, and then spammed comments like “how disappointing!” the whole game. Strangely not that much related to Mercy, but she is the go-to healer on console so…

I actually play on PS4. My friends and a handful of people are nice about it, but most people are very rude and aggressive about me playing Mercy. Especially the people that try to run into a fight by themselves without the team, die, then blame me because I wasn’t in the middle of the enemy team healing them when I would die in less than a second in that situation.
Not sure if this counts, but one guy once said “Do you feel proud with that fortress of yours” when I was playing torb in DM on chateau.
There is nothing wrong with someone having a lot of Hours with Brigitte. That is how you practice and main them.
People like to say I play easy no aim heroes. But I play all the heroes in the game (besides doomfist can’t stand his playstyle).
But before I discovered my love for dva, I was a junkrat, tracer, 76, mei, zenyatta main, those were my top fives. (My junkrat hours were almost all from his one mine state, back when you’d get flamed for picking him. But I still play him to this day from time to time, less so since they changed his primary fire, can’t hit anything if I have even a slight bit of latency.)
But then mercy was the best solo heal and still to a degree is, so mercy climbed into my top 5 quickly.
I discovered my love for dva, perfect mix between brusier and peeler for my healers, and I could taxi them with her boost.
I love Moira for her resource management aspect and in the moment decision making, sure you only have to track for her aim, but it’s the rest of her kit I love. I love making a difference just by throwing an orb in a good spot to optimize healing and damage as it bounces. She’s perfection. Trying to get her higher than mercy who I only played for solo heal purposes and “weeeeeee guardian angel let’s flllyyyy”.
Working on bringing McCree and tracer back into my top 5 as well so people will stop messaging me “no aim no brain 1v1 me” when I out play them with junkrat, dva, or moira. People just need to stop their whining.
Playing easy-win heroes in FFA. (Hog, Mccree, Junkrat etc)
The better you are at the game, the easier people who are toxic will use you as a scapegoat. People who can see excellence, and knowingly fail to emulate it, will attack said excellence.
(the trick is to use your own excellence, hon. You will never ever be good at being someone you’re not)
