It’s also worth mentioning that there’s a popular mindset going around that goes along the lines of “If you enjoy her currently, then you simply don’t play her, and thus don’t know what you’re talking about.” To go off of that, of the remaining 38.1% of the total participants who said that they still find her enjoyable…
81.1% claim to generally find Mercy enjoyable to play, regardless of balance
66.6% have over 50 hours on her
56.1% said both.
In general, most of those who are saying she’s still fun not only actually say they play her, but have the hours to back it up as well. They simply find fun in a different way than others do, which is to be expected when talking about such a subjective subject.
Anyways, a total of 81.0% of all participants also found her more enjoyable in some previous iteration, regardless of their answer before. This includes…
46.1% of Non – Support Players
79.6%% of Support Players
72.5% of Support Mains
72.7% of Non-Mercy Support Mains
96.0% of Mercy mains
Now, that last one is probably just going to be written off as “Oh Mercy players want her to be OP again.” Just remember that people were complaining about her being unenjoyable while she had a 100% pickrate across the board. It’s not as simple as strength = fun.
Either way, when you ask over 1100 people such a subjective question, and the response is almost completely unanimous on the negative side, it starts to make you wonder if maybe something actually does need to be changed.
I’m not justifying… bro it’s a lot. I know. I type it as alot anyway. I will always probably alot. That’s just something I do. You are uh… You’re a special kind of adamant.
A lot Alot Alot Alot. Just a space man, just a space. Yes, you ARE stupid. You’re really stuck on Alot a lot.
I feel like you’re a little nettled by me… I’m sorry dawg, take it easy.
The fact you’re so desperate to stick with this is just… Showing alot of your character.
I mean we get called most of the time “having big egos”, always saying “we want healing”. I think we’ve been indirectly nerfed and nerfed so much that we don’t really care anymore. Idk about you, but after moria, brigette, the deflect nerf, and such when the little buff for genji where his kit reloads after his ult was added I was happy. I would think that after 13 nerfs you guys would be happy about a buff, even if it wasn’t what you guys “really wanted”. Nonetheless it was a buff.
She gets more healing dealing Valk and the ult can be used more than often. Do I agree that she could possibly have more healing during Valk? Yes, but it’s a buff from what you guys have been having to deal with which is 50 hps with Valk and without.
It’s hilarious that people who have basic spelling errors call me stupid. I’m a mathematician. If you can prove calculus I might admit you are smarter than me.
I can prove it, can you?
I’m not nettled. I’m excited that someone like you has the audacity to try and insult my intelligence after making the most basic of errors.
Na, I’m done, you’ve stopped attacking your intellectual superior by calling me stupid. Thanks for the laughs and I’ll see you later.
Protip: When someone is obviously smarter than you are you should probably not insult their intelligence. It just makes you look even stupider.
See ya!
If you take those numbers seriously I feel sorry for you.
Learn basic statistics please.
I don’t understand how “fun” translates to OP when we say it.
Most people whining about Mercy mains use that to explain their hate for them, and I have yet to see a mercy main ask for her to be OP again.
If we wanted OP, we’d ask for the early stages of 2.0.
The fact that many want either a rework or a revert is because how boring 2.0 is for the vast mayority of those that play or played her.
So PLEASE before repeating the same overused stereotype that started who knows where and why, actually read what we’re saying.
Yes, this was a buff and a revert.
Yes, we’re still angry they reworked her when we didn’t ask to, then blamed us for her being OP, and when nerfed to the ground and asked to be happy to have been through that and to stop whining.
Fun means fun, not OP. Don’t try to invent a new meaning to it.
Yes, I will play other heroes until then. I play this game to have fun, and she currently isn’t to me.
And I also have the right to voice what I think. “Shut up and be happy”
I am grateful we got something back. She still has the same core isues, which results in bitterness.
Thank you for understanding, you expressed it perfectly.
We don’t want Mercy to be OP. Literally NO ONE has asked for that, EVER. Actually, majority of the posts about Mercy are asking for new abilities and even laying it out in Blizzard’s face what they could do to make her better without making her OP.
DPS player here. I like the fact that Roadhog has been buffed. I think making him more effective against the likes of Doomfist (who I play a lot of by the way) is a really good move. And I personally think this is a step in the right direction for the overall health of the game.
Are these changes perfect? Time will tell. Some of the changed heroes may need more changes, I’ll be the first to admit that. Is this the last time these characters will be touched? Certainly not, and we shouldn’t be screaming bloody murder that the developers are trying to make incremental changes so as not to upset the balance of the game.
