Mercy: History Repeats Itself

This scapegoating meme is very 2017 mate, for real.
Even if the entire player base complains about something from Mercy (like happened during moth era) Mercy mains will deny it and blame it on DPS.

Its getting old and news flash: It was never funny.

Theres also another pattern … people believing that Mercy is exempt from nerfs and she should be more privileged than other heroes. Really weird how many heroes can get on the chopping block, getting insane nerfs with no compensation buffs, and Mercy receives 1 and suddenly the universe is collapsing.

Nah.

Honestly I’m enjoying more than I have in a long time on mercy. Think they did a good job with her.

It’s pretty generally accepted to do it to Mercy mains for some reason

Yeah, there was a period in OW1 where it became the community versus Mercy, only what people didn’t realize is that it was a small section of whack-a-doodle Mercy’s and not the majority. Unfortunately, I think a lot of people still paint us with the same brush despite most of the ringleaders from that time having poofed.

Glad you’re having fun, I’m not too fond of the hard-pocketing style myself but no judgement for those who do enjoy it. <3

I didn’t mention nor do I believe she was nerfed so I’m not entirely sure why you’re replying directly to me. Was it just something you wanted to get off your chest? You do you, I guess…

Because it’s officially permitted by developers themselves. Strange to expect something else from community, with developers giving them an example.

Mainly because developers literally looking for reasons to do so. Sometimes it feels like they do completely idiotic changes on purpose, just so Mercy has another reason for nerfs, despite not even being that good.

Currently situation is exactly that, wonder what will be trashed completely as result.

You are mentioning “changes” a lot on the OP so yeah, you did.
You know that nerfs are “changes” right? IDK why you think playing semantics suddenly means that because I used the word “nerf” the response does not apply to you at all.

But hey if you can’t respond to what I said, you do you I guess :man_shrugging:

One of the reason to become and Ana main. Ana was never bad. Even if she was not meta, she was a solid pick and had impact. If she was meta it was terrible for tanks and supports, because they could not do their job.

What happend over 5+ years?

Nothing really.

So if you want a save pick: main Ana for support.

Ana is seemingly immune to nerfs so I think I will too

But she has immunity to being trashed by devs, so despite her being very NOT fun to deal with, she won’t ever be ruined.

They rather introduced Kiriko to balance her out… I mean we have seen that before…

Yes, we seen it with Brig. Didn’t go well.

Thats kind of why I hate seeing Kiriko in the patch notes. The latest delay with her Ofudas is the beginning of trashing her. I hate the change and think it was not necessary in the first place.

We desperately need second support with immunity to being trashed. Guess Kiriko isn’t one.

Don’t forget that Mercy never had any issues.

Yes, I mentioned “changes” specifically because I don’t see this patch as an overall nerf. If I believed she was nerfed as a whole, I’d simply say, Mercy was nerfed not “changed”.

Since “changes” can include “nerfs” you now see the word “change,” NO MATTER THE CONTEXT, as meaning “nerf”? So, if I claimed a table can be brown to you, in your mind, would all tables in the world suddenly be brown? o.O

And you say I’m the one arguing semantics? It sounds like you’re just here to start an argument and honestly, I’m not interested.

Bruh.

Your entire OP is a poster child for a victim syndrome complex. Like community and devs are waking up every morning thinking about how to torture Mercy … I address that, because clearly you are not mad about the buffs, but the nerfs (so yeah, that “change” is an euphemism) and you take the usage of a word to avoid the elephant in the room?

Yeah ok dude :+1:

PS: No, Mercy is not being treated differently, that’s the point.

No, you just NEED my OP to mean nerfs so you can justify your whining about Mercy mains always wanting exemptions. You came in here, read not what was said but what you wanted me to say, then attacked the imaginary ‘villain’ you created in your head. Honestly, done with this, you’re just a troll.

That is called a ‘straw man fallacy’.

And do not bother, @Hyphen is incapable of arguing honestly without breaking netiquette or rules of reasonable discourse.

Right now mercy is actually still pretty viable, her pick or win rates didn’t drop. And isn’t dieing more then she use to.

She is fine at the moment.

No, Mercy is not fine, need revert changes.
