Some of these good changes were poorly timed or completely lost point of changing or things got changed into things much worse.
For example they finally nerf Tracer and Genji after Brigitte came out who would have regardless destroyed even if it didn’t happen.

Revert of Pulse Bomb’s silly nerf. Even then, only 50 of the 100 damage lost was restored.
YES
Ana mains are some of the scariest players in FFA.
222
i agree, the most important change of all.
I hope they listen again and walk that back in QP.

You just list a bunch of random stuff they change and then imply that everyone specifically asked for those changes. Congratulations on wasting all that time making a pointless list.
I didn’t read most of it but I skimmed a little and for example, NOONE asked for “while you wait”. They said they were tired of waiting forever in queues for games and Blizzard half assedly added this feature that no one asked for or wanted, because it does nothing to fix the problem and barely anyone even use.
So if your thread was intended to be a list of things that people asked blizzard for and then got a half assed broken response to that didn’t actually fix the original problem, then sure. I guess they do listen. But they don’t actually do what people ask for. They just come up with weird changes in response to what people request that clearly is not what the people requested.
It’s like if your kid tells you “I want ice cream”. And then you fill an ice cream cone with ketchup and hand it to them. I mean, technically you DID listen to your kid. But your response to what your kid said was so bizarre and nonsensical that it would have actually been better if you had just NOT “listened” to your kid…
people ask for tons of stuff…often times many different things to deal with the same issue…a middle ground is often the only approach they can take…and them adding something to address an issue…even if its not a SPECIFIC request is still them addressing problems the community has…is still listening and addressing said issue…they can come up with ideas to you know
and i posted on here what i specifically remember seeing asked for on here…and “at least let us use the practice range and/or custom games” was ABSOLUTELY one of them even if you dont recall it
i even specified up top…those 2 years ago … that im just posting what they did…not whether or not you (or i) agree with them…
we’re not their “kids” either…they have no obligation to actually listen to us…im glad we get any attention at all

That’s because when Blizzard “listens”, they don’t do it to because they want players to be happy. They do it as a marketing stunt so that people like you can defend them and say that they’re “listening”. Yes, this is a giant list of things they “listened to”, but I could make an even bigger list of things that they completely ignore.
So can I… I can list off 3000 different (community proposed) ideas just on how to fix Moira they haven’t tried…that wasn’t point of thread
Nor am I defending them… I literally abhor many of the things I listed up above…chief example: RQ
Just cause what I want doesn’t make into game doesn’t mean they aren’t listening…I’m a grownup and can look at things objectively…I think credit should be given where it’s due…I thought I had made that pretty clear at the very top of the thread

No they didn’t, the point of this topic was always just forum suggestions that got into the game. I don’t agree with every change (poor Reaper is F tier now 
)

I like how selective and context ignoring this list is.
Almost all of these changes went wrong.
like WOW, Scatter was removed!! Blizz listened!
Then they added an even more overpowered easy to use ability that made Hanzo a must pick for a very long time and he single handidly shifted the meta into a dual sniper grav dragon every fight meta. FUN!!
scatter and storm im pretty sure appear several times up there because theyve had to change or walk back many changes theyve made to them…AND because of complaining from the community…
balance changes will always be touchy because the community makes far FAR FAAAAAR more suggestions than anything they can actually do…often times on polar opposite sides…regardless of the amount blizz can usually only do 1 or 2 of them…so there are always far more people being “ignored” than “listened to”…but they still “listened”
yeah the community is also VERY wrong…VERY often…few people often think about the repercussions of the very things they are suggesting…ESPECIALLY when it comes to balance…
