The big problem with Mercy

General Discussion
26

I get that every character should have a ‘role’ but Mercy’s role has obviously expanded far beyond being a ‘easy to access beginner’s’ sort of role. the community wants more than that for her

Mercy is the most popular and controversial Overwatch ever. By a mile.

Lots of people don’t just play Mercy because they suck at everything else. Lots of people play Mercy because they LOVE Mercy.

Sure, they like the character I get that (maybe even obsess x_x). That doesn’t change what the character needs to fulfill in the game nor means they should be appeased if they want more out of the character.

Take a fricken look on the forums. On reddit. On the internet in general about Mercy.
Even plenty of pros disagree with Mercy’s direction.

Next thing you want me to prove the sky is blue.
I mean, I can do that, sure. It is a waste of my time however to prove the obvious.

Still a tiny minority regardless.
As said you don’t see people happy as they don’t post on forums/YouTube usually about how good a hero is.

Ps I also disagree with the rework just fyi. But a rework was needed, just not the one we got.

Baaaaaadwidowwwww!

You’re acting as if all Mercy mains are supposed to share the same opinion…

560 people, including, me seem to agree with this solution:

“Silent majority” is a silly argument that holds no real ground. You could also argue that plenty of people disagree with the rework but don’t say so on social media or on the forums.

All you can assume is that the forum population of several thousand players, accurately represent the playerbase.
Similarly to how they can do a census IRL for political voting purposes with only a small group of people, and still predict the rough voting outcome.

The proportion at which there have been complaints about Mercy rework as compared to any other rework in the game thus far, shows you how crappy the rework was. How many people consider this a problem.

Hi sweetie.

As said I agree it’s a problem.
But a rework was needed, just not the one they went with.

Help someone stalker alert!

I dont think its that Mercy mains cant agree on a solution, I think its about offering different solutions that they think would work and make Mercy better in order to give more ideas and space to the community and devs.

Lets face it, when Mercy main asked for a revert after her rework made her broken as hell, they were told to shut up and that Mercy is much better now and she requires more skill by the community, until they started screaming for nerfs.

Mercy mains arent stupid or hive minds, nor do they want their hero OP, and they understand theres more than one way to go about it.

Boy, were they wrong about that XD.

I have no reason to think that whatsoever. There are so many variables.

Yes, the rework was poorly done. However, that does not mean a rework was not understandable. God knows oh so many of us would have loved to have avoided the Moth Meta…

I’m just glad we’re slowly coming to a consensus that current Mercy is an issue.

even if it did take a year of arguing and hating each other >_>

If they want the developers to listen to them, they need to find a solution that the developers can listen to. Not many different ones.

44

From what I’ve seen its not necessarily that people don’t think it’s an issue for the most part they just disagree on how to fix it.

Except that’s not how people’s minds work. People will always disagree with something if it exists online. Also, Blizzard can just easily chose the solution that they like best. No one is stopping them…
