And what’s the use of data when you are using them wrong? ;p

Kinda looks like a few staff read the most and then there’s a huge dropoff. To be fair, that makes it seem like there’s a dedicated method where a few point out things to the others so not everyone’s bogged down reading the (quite a bit of) posts concerning balance/features.
Sir, calm down. Take some tea.
When creating content of any kind, it is easy to miss details that actually changes how your game (in this case) feels to your playerbase.
So yes, devs do indeed need player feedback to correctly balance their game.
Also:
When the BIGGEST topics discussed in the forums aren’t getting proper attention, devs aren’t really considering feedback.
If they were getting attention, the devs would have posted something, anything, really. Because showing that you’re listening is part of language.
Says who? The angry mercy main? The sombra main angry she wasn’t buffed to the moon? The bastion main who wants the highest dps in game and mobility? I have no problem with the games balance and it’s so tiring seeing people use literal lies and blame dev’s to justify either being crap at the game or as a reason for why they win every match.

Soooo, like mercy’s 10 nerfs and the most recent one? That’s a hot topic getting changes… hanzo another popular complaint getting nerfed. Bridge nerfed. All the recent ana and sombra buffs. All of them are extremely popular topics and all are being addressed or have been for awhile now. They just arnt the changes you specifically wanted therefore the dev’s are trash right?

It isnt their job to read every single feedback post, you do understand that most of the community has NO idea what they are talking about right and it would be a waste of time to read their posts.

I’m not saying the devs are trash.
I’m saying they’re not acknowledging one of the biggest thing discussed.
Anyway who takes a while to see the bigger picture.
And why they are angry?
Again, do you now why they are angry?
That should be interesting… Care to give an example?

It saddens me that I’ve read nearly as many posts as they have combined.

There’s a joke about engineers that they know how to build many things, but don’t know how to work them.
I feel like that rings true in games about the developers at least sometimes.

Believe me that the time they spend on thinking about OW way exceeds your time thinking about it. Literally 99% of posts on these forums are total garbage.

“The devs have said time and again that they read our feedback, so here’s proof that they don’t. I just noticed the bar they set for themselves and calling them out on not reaching it.”
Translation: I’ve got a lot of pent up anger and it’s making me sound stupid because I don’t want to think about the Devs ignoring heroes for months or years, so long as it doesn’t effect my main, and I’m going to insult people just to get my point across.

Riot incoming! xD
What would that be? I only seen bastion mentioned by you and he got a buff recently too. Hes also getting attention.
Because some want a revert. Some want changes in bulk. Some want her left alone. Some want her to dominate even harder. I’d scroll through the cringefest of mercy poems and poor pitiful me arguments on the megatrashbin but I’ll give it pass.
Because shes the weakest flanker in a meta that doesnt favor flankers in general. Her hack is buggy and they didnt get the buffs they wanted. What they dont realize is they are not being ignored she has had several changes on the last couple ptr’s and before you get into full rework territory it might be best to let the slew of changes settle in on live to see how she performs.
OP for example is angry the dev’s have read “only” 45k posts on the forums and not every post in the mercy thread. Let alone the rest of the forums. Sombra and bastion mains saying there hero is being ignored despite changes in the upcoming patch to both of them. If it’s not lying it’s at the very least denial.

Tell me exactly how the falloff changes will make bastion better.
Go on, make my day.
Who? Who’s been ignored for years?
I have two mains tracer and rein. Rein is one of the biggest heros in the game and tracer is out of meta. Am I allowed to burn down blizzard HQ and demand answers with you now?
You just shared that they have almost 50k collective posts read. I dont know if your 14 or what but heres some news. That’s a really really big number.

If you checked OP’s profile, you’ll have noticed he doesn’t play Mercy very much.
Blizzard says that they are always reading the forums. They say they read feedback. They set the standard that I’m holding them to. And so far, they haven’t come close.

Players: can you make Sombra’s plays more visible?
Blizz: infinite Invisibility.

Those are actually impressive numbers from the developers, kudos to them for that!
Anyway they’re not reading the forums in order to brainstorm with the community rather than see what the overall feeling of the players are towards some topics and get ideas and viewpoints on what they could work out internally. This means that even if we post “revert Mercy” 100’000 times on these forums it’s not going to happen if it’s an unhealthy change in the end and if they have looked into it again and again they’re going to stop at some point because it’d be just wasting resources.
The latest changes to most of the heroes are however something that has been discussed on the forums at some point. I’m sure that mobility creep issues, moira’s resource issues, lucio’s effect area and ultimate issues and other soon to be changed things have initially come from the forums, but they have also gone through their internal discussions and play testing. They have a really good general idea of what’s going on, but not everything is seen or works out and they’re definitely not going to come to the forums and deliberately tell you that the change you want isn’t going to happen as it would be just really bad marketing and nobody knows what’s going to happen in this game in the future

No, the falloff changes do not count. That’s not helping and bastion was put on there as an after thought
