No Mercy mains are not entitled

Blockquote Overall, 61.9% of all participants do not enjoy playing Mercy as she currently is for one reason or another. This includes…

  • 57.9% of Non – Support Players
  • 49.3% of Support Players
  • 60.9% of Support Mains
  • 57.9% of Mercy Mains
  • 67.7% of Non-Mercy Support Mains

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.
