Blizzard, I want to thank you for the changes made to Mercy.
As a Plat/Diamond competitive player, this update was a godsend.
Players were condemned for not playing Mercy, before.
Players who didn’t want to play Mercy, felt obligated to play Mercy.
And there was a Mercy on both teams probably over 90% of the time.
I’m of the same thinking that NO hero should feel totally necessary, and if you’re being shouted out for not playing a hero, there is a problem. If your team cannot win without a certain hero present, there is a problem.
It’s extremely nice to see people playing the support they want to play. A much greater variety of supports are being played now, with Mercy still thrown in the mix and maintaining her competitive presence.
I still play Mercy from time-to-time in diamond competitive, and I still find her as enjoyable as before. She is STILL arguably the best/most well-rounded healer in the game and the hero still has a big impact on competitive play.
Anyway, there is a lot of hate and I just want developers to know that the entire community doesn’t feel negatively about the change. Changes to Mercy and Junkrat were reasonable and necessary, IMO.
So, Thank you. Seriously
