To all the people saying "Mercy is fine"

Ask yourself is “fine” good enough? Really, think it over. Because It was my understanding that Overwatch was supposed to be great. Something that was accessible and enjoyable for everybody - regardless of which hero they played or how they played it. Before Overwatch was released Mercy caught a lot of people’s attention. She was a character designed with a focus on resource management, positioning and strategy over getting the kill. Many of us bought the game to play her as she was advertised. We spent hundreds of hours, sometimes hundreds of dollars on Mercy and then suddenly she was drastically changed without warning. She was then nerfed several times without the communication or involvement of the community. Meanwhile Mercy players were mocked by OWL and ignored on the forums. Blizzard are supposed to be aiming for excellence, not pandering to the lowest common denominator. We should expect more from them. The rework has caused so much controversy and unhappiness ever since it was announced and in the end we’re left with version of her that is either strongly hated or just tolerable.
