Is it weird I miss all the mercy drama

[Sandity-1715]

I am very glad that they swiftly removed mass rez when they did. The decision to do that rework was and still is an excellent one

Rushing a rework out in 2 months was a horrible idea and caused massive balance issues for an entire year, they should’ve spent more time to fix the old kit as the fixes need were minor changes and would’ve maybe needed only a month or 2 to do properly unlike 2.0 which need far far more time in the oven to be done properly and even now its a half baked rework that most people still aren’t content with.

as I said, no such statement was made

I was asking you a question answer it or stop with needless pedantic statements.

See this friends? That’s what we call an opinion. Usually, people try to avoid needlessly blurting things like this out when arguing. Some people seem to think it helps though!

I personally feel that it was an excellent idea to act swiftly to remove the very worst power ever in the game, bar none

There were no means I know of or have been suggested to me in dozens of mercy-related threads that would allow Mass Rez to remain in the game and the massive/severe problems it caused resolved.

Removing Mass Rez swiftly from the game was imo absolutely the right call

Removing Mass Rez swiftly from the game was absolutely the right call

But in it’s place they gave her the ability to rez 4 times in a matter of 20 seconds negating the most easy counter there was to Mass Rez and that was staggering.

I don’t want to see Mass Rez to return, but stating the Mass Rez was worse than Released Valk where she became a must pick…then i’m sorry we will have to disagree. I feel released Valk was the very worst power ever in the game.

Did you SEE the fallout from the Mercy changes? they threads which literally broke the forums, because the forums couldn’t handle the number of replies.

They made another thread, and broke that one too.

No change in the history of the game was fought over nearly as much. roleQ is a blip compared to the Mercy threads.

Well isn’t this the funniest slice of truth. Echo should be… interesting.

[QuizzyBunny-2512]

Asking for “impossible” evidence is a common tactic on the forums, hence why I’ve started just talking about personal experiences instead. I mean, some people here read stats like the devil reads the Bible.

I don’t have any proof of my experience being that of the general OW player, but the fact that what used to be the most popular character in a limited class category is just average in popularity now speaks volumes. If all those “Mercy OTP” players were still here the issues with queue times might not have been quite as big.

[True0Neutral-1564]

I have high hopes for Anthem. If No mans sky can get to being a good game, Anthem - which has a much better start, sure as hell as a chance.

Unfortunately, though I think this was lost in the shuffle of the news cycle, Bioware has dropped any plans to continue producing content for the Anthem. Mind you, this is a vague recollection that could be wildly off mark, so take this with a grain of salt.

[AngryCats-1999]

I used to be a Mercy main. Quit playing and following Overwatch due to the rework. I figure, why support a game when the company behind it won’t support you?

Same for me. Other than a little forum lurking the only time I’ve played or been involved with OW in almost any way since late-ish last year was for a couple of ai games to see what the workshop was like. And just like the Mercy rework, I doubt this situation will change.

[FIREFLY-22857]

All the whiners have finally realized that after the countless nerfs, that ever since the first of them “Would make her unplayable and a throw pick”, that she is fine and now actually in a good spot (Still could use some clarification on superjump.

oh she still sucks in the bottom tiers but I just play baptiste now, and now it’ replaced with dps ant 2-2-2 whiners.

[QuizzyBunny-2512]

This doesn’t sound right, they released content only a week or so ago. I think they still create content, it’s just slow and nothing spectacular.

“Megadodo vs the world”

Coming soon to a cinema near you

[GhengisJohn-1238]

I want to commend you for being so patient with that guy even though he just wants to be toxic and belligerent.

[Quîsp-1394]

You know…mercy’s rework disaster and nerfs. Back when Aria rose was still relevant. All the mercy threads that spammed the forums so much they had to make a megathread…I miss it all. It was fun watching people argue and I’ve bever seen so much controversy over a video game character. Now the forums just feel so boring now, its all 222, doom, sombra, sym, and widow threads. I wasn’t around much for the old forums but it was good too.

Some people Just love to stir the pot… smh…

[RobotWizard-116887]

Thanks. I am sometimes the toxic and belligerent guy

So, like, it seems fair

[Cerebrum123-1794]

There have always been complaints here on the forums, but they were usually counter balanced by unmitigated praise* towards Blizzard. Now I see more of the former, and far less of the latter.

*Were you there when Jeff found one of those posts, and said that is the kind of feedback they wanted? Made me sick honestly.

@Megadodo-11847

I dont vilify that, myself

@Megadodo-11847

The chances that a rework in favor of the current anti-Mercy faction being well received by the rest of us

@Megadodo-11847

far more likely that such a rework will benefit only the anti-mercy faction, and as such, I personally find this position to be selfish in the extreme

@Megadodo-11847

I find a position where one feels that one group is more important than the other to be a very selfish one

@Megadodo-11847

a refusal by the members of the anti-mercy faction to accept facts or acknowlege opinions or to acknowledge that the changes they selfishly want will come (if at all) at the expense of those who like playing Mercy in her current state

@Megadodo-11847

The passing of the mantle of leadership of these two more or less identical antiMercy groups is and was not speculation…this happened just as I described

@Megadodo-11847

Not everyone in the anti-Mercy faction is similarly flexible

in response to: “C’mon man, that’s kinda harsh. While I’d prefer a version of Mass Rez with tweaks and an ability that can help combo into big rezzes while still allowing counterplay, I’ll happily take a mass burst heal, or any other solid idea. There’s been a few, a lot of them probably need tweaks but it’d still be something.”

@Megadodo-11847

I don’t understand why a misrepresentation of a simple fact needed to occur at all, tho to be fair many in the anti-Mercy faction seem to do so on a regular and repeated basis, especially with this particular fact, ie Mercy’s slowdown during rez

@Megadodo-11847

The anti-Mercy folks seem determined to paint a different picture, but we’ve seen thus scenario more than once already

@Megadodo-11847

I prefer not to discuss semantics but I find that many posters, particularly those in the anti-Mercy faction, like to bring up semantics and/or verbiage, which in turn results in replies from me (like this one) that are concerned with semantics and/or verbiage

@Megadodo-11847

the article started off with him taking it as a given (which it isnt) that Mercy needs changes, so the bias in the anti-Mercy direction was evident from very early in the piece, so I suppose this was to be expected

Along the same lines, the article failed for the most part to address the fact that many pro-Mercy folks are fine with Mercy as she is

The one thing I agree with was the title of the article, which highlights the fact that the anti-Mercy folks cannot agree on what change(s) they want to make them happy

That took… 15 minutes? I left a lot of hypocrisy out as the subject was vilification for wanting changes and surfing through 50+ pages including your username and “anti” doesn’t exactly sound like the best way to spend my day off.

At least make it hard next time Dodo.

[KrissiVector-1258]

Inb4: I have never posted hypocrisy
Inb4: I am taking this as a personal attack
Inb4: clarifications

[Washpoppin-1254]

I think the fact that they were thirsty and desperate enough to go hunting for someone elses posts like that speaks volumes for itself. SAD!

[KrissiVector-1258]

I’m sorry but this post is worded in a way that it sounds like a meme/tweet taken from a certain presidents twitter. Very cool, Kanye!

[Washpoppin-1254]

Who, Trump? You’re afraid to say the word Trump? He isn’t Voldemort. Grow a pair.
