He never, ever did that.
His post was moved.
But yeah, he answered that thread
As you can see, Mercy’s viability/pickrates/winrates were never mentionned in this thread, yet the only answer he was able to give was “picrates/winrates = she’s fine”, which has nothing to do with the point of the thread.
Given that I considered myself a good Mercy player at the rank I played, if I was getting picked early, it was either because
- I did a mistake
- The enemy team was hunting me and cornered me
- My team was potato
Which can be summarised by “the enemy team is playing better than ours”, at least for this fight.
If that was the case, I didn’t want to risk my rez being instantly wiped, therefore trying my best at staying alive & keeping my team alive in order to have best chances to win the fight, was the option I choose.
