I seriously have no issue with people playing Mercy. I don’t get tilted when I see someone pick Mercy. I play her sometimes because sometimes shes really fun. What you play in this game makes no difference to me as long as you play it well, and even then it’s not that big of a deal.
I’ve yet to see anyone attack someone else for playing Mercy. I have only seen lashback on forums from the tons of spam threads that fill space every day.
Your insistence that people do hate you does not make it true.
I don’t hate you nor do I dislike you. I dislike the position you hold.
I do. As a support main it forces me to make a vital decision at the hero select screen: do I go second main healer to supplement for the crappy healing, thus losing a ton of utility; or do I go off healer and risk my team struggling for heals?
The former often ends up being the best choice, which is an issue when it comes to use of a main healer.
“I tried to be very transparent with the community that our focus wasn’t the seasonal events right now,” said Kaplan, noting that the team instead prioritized “other stuff” like new heroes, balance changes, overhauls, LFG, endorsements, and spectator mode.
At least Jeff confirmed that they are still working on Valkyrie.
Not to mention that but when they changed her healing, I don’t even understand why they didn’t decrease the amount it takes to get her ultimate and also why (I think anyway) they haven’y fixed her on-fire rate.
I wouldn’t say that Mercy players get all of the hate, but when it’s in a Mercy Thread talking about new ideas for her or saying what could change, there are really rude people; like they just say their opinion or fact that might be incorrect, then someone corrects them and they freak out.
I agree with you about her being fun, not as much for me anymore but that’s probably from the long break I’ve needed from this game, but she does feel weak in some aspects of her kit.
I do not mean to be rude, so I apologize in advance if this response comes off this way - but - I answered that question (as well) in the post you are responding to
There are a large number of Mercy threads on these forums with thousands of replies collectively, which strongly suggests (to me) that a lot of folks care
The title narrows the scale down to only the people who are angry with the PTR changes to Valkyrie. I’m talking about why a certain group of people feel the way they feel. If you’re not in that group, then obviously, what is said in the OP doesn’t apply to you.
By speaking for those of us who aren’t fine with her?
That’s not how this works. Me exercising my ability to voice the concerns held by myself and many others does not impede your ability to voice your lack thereof.
