Mercy is really fun when you look at her mobility.
Even if a lot of people use that as a real fact to say why Mercy is bad, it’s really not.
She really has a lot of issues that aren’t really related to being fun.
She has a bad healing output, her Rez is everything that the devs didn’t want and, if we’re all being honest, I don’t see how Rez can be fun in any way, her ult is really lackluster, and overall she doesn’t fit in her Main Healer role but she doesn’t really fit in the Off Heal role either.
She’s in the middle, decent at a lot of things but good at none.
Nah what I’m hinting at here was the fact that people make these posts saying “fun is subjective” yet forget that also means their form of fun is subjective then proceed to say crap like:
with a 1.75 secs cast time and 75% movement speed reduction which is very clunky on a high mobility character!
also a game has to be fun for all participants
and i respect their opinion!
i personally find mercy boring because rez doesn’t work well with the rest of her kit, Valkyrie is drawn out and it doesn’t change the state of the fight!
They’re just saying that fun is subjective and offered their opinion that they have fun with Mercy. He’s being like the exact opposite of condescending.
If I wanted to spectate the game from various angles then sure, it’s fun. However I want to play Overwatch and mean something to my team, not just primarily be an enabler or babysitter. You aren’t the only person that plays Overwatch either, just because you think she’s fine and others don’t doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be an attempt made to find a middleground. So far no such attempt has been made, with the team insisting she’s fine but still continue to nerf her either directly or indirectly.
Idk why you’re being so rude. He literally just said fun is subjective and gave some opinions for certain people. Don’t see nothing condescending about this post
If you play a hero, and you feel like you are preforming well and actually filling an important role.
That’s fun. No matter the hero.
Put me on Mercy, and if I save the team and feel like I’m helping. That’s fun.
Put me on Tracer, and I can get clutch kills. That fun.
Something is only un fun when the hero struggles to preform their role. So a lot of people don’t think Sym or Trob are fun. Because they can struggle to get kills. They struggle to fill their roles. Even though they have very unique and interesting play styles.
If a person enjoys a play style or set of abilities and they utilize them with or with out kills that can be fun for people.
I use Sym and Torb all the time and just setting up turrets and figuring out where to place things is fun if it all get ripped up in a second oh well I’m still having fun.
To the flip side I flex and play Mercy and do perform well but I am not having fun because its so stressful and demanding hopping between teammates juggling healing/boost and dodging fire and guessing when to take risk. I’m providing value and I feel like I ma performing well but that sucks.
Personally, what I see the anti-Mercy faction do with great regularity is claim that Mercy isnt fun or engaging to play - not just for them personally, but for all players
that’s actually not true in warframe there’s a frame called octavia she’s so op that everyone is baffled by how she’s managed to stay this powerful for almost 2 yrs and the truth is that no one wants to play octavia because her play style is so stationary and campy you just sit somewhere on the map and manage your abilities (Octavia main btw!)
The thing is… the “Mercy is fun” group has already been a minority before the split caused by her rework.
Now the “Mercy is Fun” group is an even smaller minority due to people changing side. You are entitled to your opionion… if you think Mercy is fun… that’s your choice…
Just as you say, Fun is subjective… just like you say Mercy is fun… I say she is boring now and just like the others sharing that mindset, I won’t give up on her coming back to be the Mercy I and others have grown to love playing as… And I believe in her return… and just like Ana tends to Say “Never stop fighting for what you believe in”
