If it is data of opinions then how can said data be invalid if the intent is to just quantify opinion. This is not a scientific study and we are not trying to find any objective outcome.
You could also look at like a self reported measurement, however i can see where invalidity of said data may come to effect as people can imbue untruthful answers if they wish.
I have seen many of the anti-Mercy folks attempt to present findings of invalidly collected survey data as fact, and I expect that will be the case here as well
Mega, you really come across as having an agenda of some sort here. I’m not sure why you refer to people as “anti mercy” to be frank.
I know you personally do not want to see any changes to her from her current iteration. Some people do (heck, while I enjoy her I find her current iteration flawed). That doesn’t make them anti mercy, and I have yet to see anything else that implies that they are.
My agenda, if it can be called that, is to defend Mercy against the efforts to have her reverted or reworked, as I and many others enjoy playing her in her current state
That’s… not really anti mercy though? That’s people who want changes to her current kit, sure. That doesn’t make them against mercy.
It comes across as dishonest is why I’m being a butt about this. It doesn’t make people anti mercy, it means they simply disagree with you which is allowed. It’s a public discussion forum, but you’re trying to invalidate opinions by simply referring to them as “anti mercy” which is a nonsensical notion. I think you can come up with better arguments than that, as it doesn’t really seem convincing if your goal is to try and keep her from future reworks.
You use the term to label people who disagree with you/the current state of a character. Disagreeing with the state of a character doesn’t make someone anti-Mercy.
I would absolutely agree with you in the case of someone saying they wanted her removed permanently from the game in all forms, but that’s not the case currently from what I’ve read.
Hey man, I’m just saying I think you can come up with better and more compelling arguments. Your personal definition doesn’t seem to align with what others read it as. So trying to be more clear would probably help.
