No, it isn’t. Overwatch is a mainly casual game with a competitive mode, with forced e-sports and a lot of commercial BS haphazardly slapped on top, at the cost of its actual target audience, which has since left the game in droves.
They agreed with the premise of the post, which is that Mercy’s current state is ****. This is backed up by the polls I mentioned earlier, in which 60 percent of the (non-Mercy) respondents would like to see a previous iteration of Mercy (whatever that may be). And over 90% of Mercy players that participated wanted to go back to an earlier version (again, no specifics, but that wasn’t asked in the poll).
Mercy will head out to where people need her the most, and that often happens to be the front line. If I were a medic, I’d probably also choose the frontline over a hospital, even though I, too, am quite the pacifist.
Definitely not, if that’s what you somehow managed to extract from Why I Have Yet to Not Despise Mercy's Current State, as Titanium literally says “Valkyrie is a disgusting… pile?” as opener for the ‘Valkyrie’ section of his OP.
I mean, pistol was there with mass rez. It’s not gone. And her ult doesn’t encourage hitting shots, just spam. Otherwise they would have kept speed and dmg increase but instead they kept…infinite ammo? That’s not asking for skill either.
Playing Mercy offensively should be her choice, not kit design as she stands now. If they wanna change her power, i’d be fine with it. 50%dmg boost with 30% healing and increase her shot power. Encourage one , or the other. Not weird nothingness
Might as well get rid of her highlight intro too, so it doesn’t seem strange.
All the other heroes that were reworked and had an ability removed didn’t actually have that ability as a highlight intro, but if rez were completely removed that highlight intro is pointless.
Hanzo - Scatter removed - Never had a highlight intro with scatter arrow
Symmetra - Shield gen removed - Never had a shield gen highlight intro
Torbjörn - Old molten core still exists as overload, but didn’t have a highlight intro for that in the first place.
But Mercy had a rez highlight intro and rez was kept.
D.Va - never had anything removed in the first place. Only things added. And a time change on how long her DM lasted.
