I want Mercy reverted too, but its clear theyre refusing to do so. Which is ridiculous because she was never a problem until popular streamers decided she was.
I think saying they could fix every hero in a month is giving them far too much credit. They cant put new patches through without bringing in ten more bugs.

You’re right, which is why I never said it was a question. It was merely a misinformed statement.
No, you very much can’t.
Irrelevant to what I’m arguing.
The fact that she received changes, regardless of whether or not the did anything, means that she was not being ignored.
This is exactly what I’m saying. This is what you are trying to argue, and I am not arguing this.
Firstly, I reiterate what I said earlier:
“If not consistently receiving changes classifies as being “ignored” then the vast majority of heroes are being “ignored”.”
Just because the changes she has received have been perceived as useless by members of the community, does not mean she is being ignored. Yes, it may mean the community is being ignored, but the hero not so much.
Secondly, we have no idea what they are testing in-house so your argument here is flawed. Before this PTR update, we had no idea a number of the changes were going to be coming.
Thirdly, perhaps the developers don’t even believe she is bad. “Ignoring” in this case implies they realise she is bad but don’t do anything about it.
Fourthly to clarify, stop trying to argue about whether or not the community is being ignored. That is not what I am arguing.

On the contrary…
Technically no. But we literally know that these changes not existing wouldn’t do a thing.
This is called argumentum ad ignorantiam.
I try to think that game developers aren’t ignorant.
Mercy is still being ignored. It’s been a month and pick-rates and winrates don’t look like they are going to be increasing anytime soon. She is underpowered as of now. Blizz is either ridiculously ignorant or are again, ignoring Mercy. The latter is the likely scenario.

I’m sure you would love being called a “Mercy cultist” right?
Slight touche, you learn something new every day.
She was on the devs radar, thus not ignored.
Now, I am not going to repeat myself any further. I am gonna leave now (Unless you say something that I will find worth replying to), and to make the transition easier for you, have the illusion of a victory 
hooray for you you won yippee

because aria literally knows nothing about the game, is a biased mercy main, is toxic, and doesn’t care for balance, but only mercy being exactly what she wants.

I always find the phenomenon of triggered people responding to Aria’s videos instead of just ignoring them amusing. It’s great to know how people who spread toxicity are so deep in their own hatred, that they don’t realize that they are just making YouTubers like Aria even more famous by bumping the threads with her videos and giving her views / engagement. 
Either way, thank you OP for offering a different opinion on the dev update. As this is a forum, it’s gives me great joy that people can discuss not only the good job they’re doing, but also the things that they are not doing.
In this case, as I’ve predicted before the dev update was announced, they are once again in the camp of “She is fine”, while ignoring her being the lowest ranking support in terms of winrate, and an abysmal below one at that. That’s fine, because people are still going to make it apparent on how hypocritical such a statement is.
- But… Her winrate is the only one of the entire support roster that is below 50% - “This is fine”
- But… Her on fire rate is one of the lowest (if not the lowest) of all the heroes, making Mercy arguably the least impactful hero in the game. - “This is fine”
- But… a sizeable portion of the Mercy playerbase has left. Mercy is the hero with the largest decline in pick rates across all competitive ranks. From bronze to grandmaster, Mercy’s pick rates fell anywhere from eight percent in gold to 21 percent in grandmaster. - “This is fine”
- But… thousands of Mercy feedback threads have been ignored, and despite the thousands of solutions to make Mercy both balanced and fun, mercy mains are still ignored. - “This is fine”
- But… The rework was done based on a subjective opinion, not data and research. In fact, some may argue that it never needed to exist, mass res could have easily been fixed with LOS and a damage resistance nerf instead of invincible instant res. - “This is fine”
- But… All of this proves that the Rework is Not fine. This all proves that the rework has been a huge failure, and you’re just saying everything “is fine” to save face. - “This is fine”
We have yet to see what the patch notes will say, but as I said a few days ago, not addressing the glaring and obvious issues with Mercy has been expected. In fact, I would be more shocked if they DO address Mercy on anything, let alone some sort of balancing update. They’ve basically nerfed themselves into a hole with trying to listen to everyone else under the sun on Mercy’s state beside mercy mains themselves, and it’s apparent that a year later, they still have no idea how to dig themselves out of it. But hey!
“This was a huge success.™®”

I often feel like this:
As of now. You, know? The present. Her most recent change was more than a month ago and right now she’s ridiculously underpowered. They are ignoring her.

Mercy is not being ignored, the people who talk about her are.

she isn’t. shes just on par with other healers. When you go from 8 seasons of being an overpowered must pick to being on the same level as other healers it may feel like youre in a bad state, but it doesn’t mean you are.

How? She’s at a 48% win rate, the lowest of all supports. She can’t do anything to help her team anymore.

She’s in a terrible spot right now. Her healing and ult are both a joke, she’s relatively boring to play now, and has absolutely not impact on the game anymore. All they need to do is give her an instant rez in Valk and that will solve some issues. If not that, then a revert to the good old mass rez, because her kit now isn’t worth anything.

Only healer she’s on par with as you climb is Moira

This is ad hominem.
Something amost everyone is; biased.
For not sugar-coating her words lul.
False.
makes videos on other heroes.
Obviously not in that context. Also, this is false. Before the rework, she was never meta. In fact, she only remotely became viable after the dreaded invulnerability buff.
I hope this is a joke. She’s the only hero in the game that has a negative winrate in GM. As for the two ranks below that, she has the lowest winrate. In the ranks below that, she has winrates and pickrates close to Ana, a more mechanically challenging hero. That is shocking since Mercy is supposed to be the one that’s good in those ranks.
Statistics don’t agree with you.

And Moira has a higher win rate, and is good at her niche. Mercy is outclassed by Ana in all regards.
Just to clarify, I love Ana and I don’t think she needs changes, but Mercy definitely does need some buffs, a rework or a revert of sorts.

I agree patience has its limits. And people patiently waited a year for her to not be the only main healer. Nothing could be better for the game than having a little support diversity for once tbh.
I’m sure the last thing Bliz wants to do is rework her in a manner that might lead to her being a must pick again. We might get 55HPS. I’d be surprised and frankly a little disappointed if they tried anything riskier in the immediate future

I waited patiently for Mercy to not be a must pick. I also waited patiently for the healers to be balanced, and not dominant over one another again. I wanted to play Ana and don’t feel like i’m throwing for ages.
The supports are so close to being completely balanced, but Mercy is just too bad as she is. It’s okay for everyone to be good and at least have a niche, and it is possible.

she isn’t the best healer in the game anymore. she isn’t meta. and people are trying to use her where she isn’t applicable, thus her winrate goes down. If every genji player refused to play other heros when brig first came out (like mercy mains are doing now after her nerf) his winrates would go down too.

She has no niche besides being a pure healer, which she cannot even be anymore due to low healing. There is nowhere for her to be applicable, she’s weak and unfun.
