I’ve spent 2 years waiting for Reinhardt bugs to be fixed and to be discussed by the developers, but hardly got anything except more bugs, silence, vague developer comments, and empty promises. I also play Ana and spent over a year feeling severely undermined.
Then there are countless other heroes that received a similar treatment, but the players who were annoyed by it weren’t near as vocal when compared to the Mercy topic. Through all of that, I felt like a good chunk of the Mercy players showed little to no sympathy for their fellow players who were also going through similar things. I am not saying ALL of them, just a big percentage.
What I am trying to say is: we all need to work together, not against each other. We all have gone through very similar treatments, and this isn’t some kind of competition of “who has it worse”.
We need to respect each other. It’s fine to disagree but some people derail it and it just starts to get patronizing and insulting. THAT’S when both parties need to work together to nip it.
Also, there’s the right way to bring up topics, then there’s the wrong way. People respect the people who can address topics in a well-constructed, polite manner. Although I don’t 100% agree with everything they say, Titanium is a good example of someone who can present a good topic without making unnecessary jabs at the playerbase.
