The Brutal Truth: Mercy will not be reverted. Stop asking for it

Welp… I suppose it’s time for me to clarify things once again.

  1. #ReworkMercy isn’t only about wanting reverts. There’s hundreds of other ideas that are suggested for Mercy besides just wanting Mass Res to return. Generalizing the entire group as such, is being disingenuous.

  2. You are fine to not want Mass Rez. I think a lot of people on these forums are at a point where they don’t care whether players want it to return or not. However, I think it’s time to ask the question of “what discussion is to be had here?” Making yet another anti-revert thread at this point and worded in this way, seems to be just looking to start an argument where there isn’t one.

  3. Using reddit as a basis for said argument isn’t a strong one to have. And copy/pasting an old source from Jeff saying there’s no plans to revert the hero, is also misinformation… It’s been proven that months after the statement was made, Mercy was in fact reverted in terms of both her voiceline, and later on, her healing output. And even then, there is no specification as to what kind of revert was being referred to. So objectively, that statement is outdated at best, and no longer relevant at worst.

  4. People outside of the forums have complained about Mercy and asked for changes on places such as Youtube, twitch, and on social media such as twitter. Complaints about her aren’t exclusive to the forums.

  5. Your thought of Mass Rez being bad game design is your opinion to have, that doesn’t make it fact, or an opinion that everyone shares. Your explanations given are also assumptions not backed by actual sources or data, and is filled with rumors. i.e. your statement of:

Makes it seem like it was the fault of resurrect that players abused the SR bug. There should be clarification that the bug was separate from the ultimate itself, and still would have existed with or without it. This is also related to the bug that caused SR drops, and seasonal bans during that time. Resurrect itself has nothing to do with why the bug existed in the game.

  1. I’m beginning to question the need for so many “anti-revert” threads lately. Perhaps they know something I don’t and the devs are infact planning on incorporating it again? I’m not sure, but the amount of hysteria going on does have me intrigued.

  2. And finally, telling people to “stop asking” for something will not convince those people to do what you say. Apologies, but we are allowed to voice our opinions and ask for whatever we wish. You don’t control what we should and shouldn’t ask for in this game. I will most certainly continue to ask for Mass Rez, and I have every right to do so, as you do in asking for it not to return. :slight_smile:

But, I do respect your opinion, and we’re going to have to agree to disagree on our stances on Mass Rez. But hey! Since you are giving your opinion about why you think Mercy isn’t getting reverted, I suppose I will go ahead and give 10 reasons on why I believe she will. Just to keep things fair. :blush:
