I’m not generalizing, at this point it’s not even about what’s in the topic itself, you just can’t create so many topics about Mercy on a daily basis. It’s spam, plain and simple.
You pretend 80% are constructive criticism or questions, where did you find that number? I could very well say that 80% of them are the exact same post written differently (and that would actually be more close to reality than your assessment I’d wager).
You’re not the only people on the forums, stop ruining them for everyone else because of your feelings.
I highly suggest you stop patronizing people, it’s not healthy.
So you want them to shut up and accept the monster that Blizzard created from the Mercy for them? I’m sorry, this isn’t how it works. I think you need to calm down.
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.
Thanks! Sometimes I think people get offended just when there’s a disagreement. It’s ok to have conflicting viewpoints, it’s literally a part of life. I also think it’s important that when a disagreement is happening, not to get condescending with one another; that ALWAYS results in anger from both parties.
I play Mercy because I enjoy her core gameplay, and for nostalgia. I play games to have fun, which, currently, Mercy is not. I don’t want to just ”play another character”. I want to play a consistent, universal healer who’s whole purpose is to assist her team.
All you really had to say is this. There is no reason to hate on people just because they enjoy a character. Hate the character all you want, but it’s always crossing the line when you hate on players. Anyone who does that, well their opinion is automatically made ignorable because they’ve demonstrated they can’t participate in reasoned discussion.
You showed nothing, it’s spam, it’s written black on white in the CoC :
Making non-constructive posts
Creating threads for the sole purpose of causing unrest on the forums
Numbering a thread, IBTL, TLDR, or any other fad statements
You like to play only Mercy, fine but you’re not the only players on these forums, not everything has to be about Mercy because Overwatch isn’t only about her. If you don’t want to play another character which is a key feature of the game aka flexing or you don’t like Mercy anymore, then I suggest you find another game, you’ll do everyone a favor, including yourself.
Forum Moderator (You know, the ones who made and enforce the CoC… XP) saying that useful feedback consists of the Mercy posts, as they are saying “Hey, I don’t like this. Mercy has been drug through tar, feathers, hot coal, and then put through a meat grinder. I feel like (idea, be it Revert/something new) would be better.”
It is very on topic… I have literally show to you, twice now, that it is not spam.
Um, Yes? General discussion is meant for feedback and all things pertaining to Overwatch as a whole. Be it 4 or 400, it’s still not against the rules to post feedback.
I’m not using excuses, I’m using my brain to interpret given information to come to a logically sound conclusion. It’s rather fun! XP
Let’s agree to disagree, keep ruining the forums for everyone else, once you’ve driven everyone away it’ll just be some vocal mercy players liking each other and screaming into the void. Surely that’ll be fun.
