You dont read it a lot mate, i wish it was being said way more, just to show how annoying is a whole community repeating the same thing over and over again with no actual real evidence or numbers to back it out.
Its not an attempt to silence anyone, its just that many of us are tired of hearing the same thing over and over and over again, about a situation that is being over-exaggerated and also happens to many more heroes.
Mercy wonât receive harassment because of what state she is in right now. Before her rework Mercy players including myself were harassed on a daily basis.
Someone said threads telling Mercy players to be quiet were uncommon. Oneâs about them are more common than those telling Mercy Mains to be quiet.
i dont want the mercy mains to be quieted, but i do feel its necessary at this stage, ive said in other threads why they also cant just communicate. The mercy and anti mercy threads are making other more important threads get ignored.
And yes, she was, and tbh it really isnt that surprising, im not saying anyone who hrassed them shouldve, but a character that easy and rewarding and back then you got rank up really easy with her due to some sort of broken mechanic, id say the hate was understandable.
this i agree with whole heartedly
If they want their threads to be noticed they need to be actively engaged on their threads and discussing.
this is not the fault of the mercy mains or the antiâs.
Go make the threads you want to make.
its not our fault if they fail.
the harassment was never understandable.
its uncalled for.
Any hate shouldnât be understandable at all. That makes 0 sense. Nobody should be hated for playing a hero in the game especially being told that âIâm Boostedâ âPlaying for SR gainsâ âGo kill yourself, boosted Mercy 1 trickâ. Overwatch is one of the most toxic communities for hating on players that play a certain hero. Itâs actually insane.
If you look at the posts people that havenât even joined the forums before are posting about Mercy and all of a sudden a flock of Anti-Mercy forumers swarm and attack them. It goes both ways.
it was understandable for the reasons i stated, does that excuse the awful stuff said? of course not, and i dont condone harassment, i just see their point of view, doesnt mean its correct.
âjust go make the threads you want to makeâ if mercy/anti mercy threads are in such quantity that almost every other thread fails theres an issue.
I could make another mercy thread and easily get 200 replies at best in under 12h, but i make any other thread and i wouldnt get above 100-200 in a day
i do not condone what has been said, and i do not condone the hate, i just understand where people are coming from. Thats the difference
yes, yes it does.
Mercy was a troll-pick in season 3, and I still had fun during that period.
You blatantly just said you understand why Mercy players were hated on. That actually makes me so mad. One night I was playing in GM (and I remember this VERY clearly) I picked Mercy got harassed the entire game even when though I was playing at a peak performance harassed the whole time and was actually praised by the enemy team for playing really well and also got POTG. I was so disheartened that I stopped playing Overwatch for a month because of it. Nobody thinks it effects people. But it does.
Imagine being this self absorbed and entitled, yikes.
You canât blame Mercy mains, itâs not like they play any other characters to know that whatâs happening to them isnât anything new to the rest of the cast. We should totally #revertD.va to season 2, I miss my 400 armour and 4 second Defense Matrix.
Yea i understand it, does that mean i wouldnt have defended you or not done anything? ofc not, i dislike mercy and always have, but i would defend any player being harassed in the game, i hate the character, not the players playing them. I understand the hate of mercy. I am not okay with the players themselves being harassed, i understand why those players themselves do it but that does not make it okay in my eyes, id still report them and defend yaâll mercy mains.
And i know how much words can hurt, i probably know more than 90% of this forums population.
there really should be a /s in there
The pseudo seriousness is the point, at least I know the revert would make the character awful while the Mercy community seems perfectly happy to remove their character from competitive play by asking for the same thing.
lmao, sums it up about right i guess
Again, thats something that NOT ONLY happens to Mercy threads but then again, you will only see the sky if you choose to never look down.
I read almost any type of thread and there are times when we are talking about Reaper, Moira, Bastion, whoever, and (i swear to god) dont even know HOW some BS of âRevert mercyâ or some âThis is like mercy bla blaâ comes in.
Seriously mate. Its not even close. Its INSANE, its so massive that even blurts out and spreads into other posts that have nothing to do with Mercy.
i can confirm this, i have multiple threads that didnt involve mercy that did bring her up, and ive been in others
I support any F-Tier hero thread that are asking for some kind of communication from the developer team. Donât get your panties in a knot because you see Mercy threads more than say Bastion threads. Itâs not the players fault nor the heroes fault. Itâs actually the layout of these forums.
If they had a category for each hero. Where discussions about said hero took place. The most talked about hero will move upwards and the least talked about heroes would move downward. If Mercy happens to be the target of the month her thread will appear above everyone elses. When she is balanced and fun to play talk about her will stop and the thread will drop to the next hero.
So donât target forumers about discussing a hero. They are entitled to free speech. Target the layout of the forums.
bastions been for 5 seasons,troll pick and quite unfun to play withâŠ
No one is smashing keyboards pal, dont get excited because im not.
Trust me, if i could set a filter for âMercyâ as a keyword in the âGeneral Discussionâ page, i totally would. Nothing personal.
Fixed for you. Theres people still throwing BS about rework and mass ress etc. Still today. T O D A Y.
Dont forget what i already stated pal, it wasnt yesterday or a year ago, i wrote it in this very thread not long ago. Here is the quote for you:
âIts not an attempt to silence anyone, its just that many of us are tired of hearing the same thing over and over and over again, about a situation that is being over-exaggerated and also happens to many more heroes.â
Same goes both ways, i can complain about the complainers.
Now just imagine 5 of us (not 30-50 like mercy mains/supporters) went full nuts for a week and everytime someone complains about balance of a hero , we start posting âWell reaper is in a worse state and bla blaâ.
Many people would be annoyed and ⊠thats whats happening here, on a bigger scale. MUCH bigger, i can assure you.
You could, but it would be just as meaningless as linking only 4
Feel free to ignore them. Posting in threads about censorship of Mercy players doesnât give you a good name either.
They have every right too. This rework was a disaster.
No. The situation is not over-exaggerated. Every player has a voice and is entitled to speak on behalf of their hero. Just the other day a swarm of anti-Mercy forumers swarmed and ganged up on a new forumer with literally 1 post telling them to stop complaining weâve heard it all. So a new forumer with literally 0 time spent on forums should get attacked for speaking??? I mean hello?
Interesting enough. I donât see anywhere on the forums with posts equalling 1400+ likes to censor out Mercy players from speaking about their hero. Blizzard seems to not care anymore and neither should you.
