Sombra
Doomfist
Sym
Mercy
Bastion
Reinhardt
Every case of silence or Soon™ is proof of it. Sombra’s bugs? Nothing
Doomfist’s bugs and problems? Overwatch Forums Ignored with 3 megathreads for months describing his problems
Sym: 2 reworks and still kind of bad; she’s basically a brand new hero
Mercy: OP as hell as a result of rez on a cooldown which is something EVERYONE agrees on, and she’s getting more boring each patch but she’s still too strong to not use
Bastion: I refer you to the multliple threads on Bastions issues and his lack of pickrate
Reinhardt: All of his bugs, which have been in the game since launch and have been getting band-aid fixes which tear off the patch afterwards. Right now he’s clunky because all the animation cancels that worked for him have been removed.
And these are the heroes that just come to mind. Ana, Torb, Roadhog, any hero that’s been ignored for months or years; the players don’t forget the silence just because it ended. Just because you get a prothestetic doesn’t mean you forget you lost a leg and stood on one foot for months.
Bugs and problems that have been in the game since launch and still haven’t been adressed. For christ sake, it’s taken over 2 years just to implement a looking for group. Lore has ground to a halt. Paywalls are rising. Exactly what am I supposed to think, with all of these things happening to a game that I love playing? The devs clearly aren’t reading all of our feedback, and I have proof that they aren’t. While we as a community are not entitled to a response to every little gripe, I would hardly call many of the issues of the game “little gripes.” An acknowledgement of the problem isn’t going to be enough anymore, because of the overuse of “Soon™” in the few moderator comments we’ve recieved.
"First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

Silence is not the answer. “If you have nothing nice to say don’t say anything at all” is to stop two children from fighting, and it never works, because eventually someone says something that can’t be ignored. In this case, the silence in the face of all the problems the game has and has had for years is more deafenning than anything I could hope to say back.
You’re the one who seems to have forgotten. The forum has given courtesy and respect, and haven’t recieved it in a while. The devs outright laughed at the issues of Genji’s deflect, and were surprised at the negative feedback when they nerfed objectively the worst hero in Sombra.
Would you rather proof that the devs aren’t reading/listening instead?
