Indeed. I thought that was the purpose of a feedback megathread. Even the main post on the Mercy megathread claims…
But of course now Jeff’s posted there at last we know that’s not true. The megathread for Mercy should be closed if Mercy is considered fine to them, not further and ongoing silencing along with misleading everyone there into believing they want further feedback about Mercy.
No. Megathreads are a way to keep posts from clogging the forums, but also a way to ignore the feedback.
If people want Brigitte to become a balanced hero, the last thing we need is a megathread right now.
bad design and balance are two different things, yet both apply to mercy in a way.
but go off, i guess.
(edit: this was not meant to be as rude as it sounded, sorry.)
The community Blizzard employees are not devs. Devs check the forums less because it isn’t their job, their job is to make the game.
but she is so slow to play in not fun when you rez people in they said that they wanted to get rid of hide in rez but that is what you have to do hide to rez people it slows down her game play a lot in does not fit with her role her gameplay is fast place but when you rez it is so slow in stops you for like 6 secs i think that is the main problem main people have with her rez is just so bad i don’t know why they can’t just do make her like auriel from heros of the storm she brings you back at half heath in it takes a bit for her to get her ult in rez so you have to think when you want to do it
Oh. So you do agree that megathreads are just a censorship tool, seeing how they didn’t actually want Mercy feedback despite the cruelly named topic?
I don’t care one way or another, I was just wondering if we were on the same page.
What if I told you that I actually like Mercys ult?
Sure it’s not the most powerful, but I’ll take flying any day. That’s just my opinion. You can disregard it, but that’s all it is, an opinion.
It’s not something we can use as an argument about characters balance. I’m sure many people thought Mercy 2.0 was a blast. She was op, but fun to play.
Gonna be honest. I could hardly read what you wrote at all. Punctuation goes a long way to getting your point across. I’m making no judgements about the balance of the characters, I just want a Brig megathread to clean up the mess of the forums.
And believe me, I killed her all the time, as many times as I could. Your acting as if her team is just leaving her defenseless, and that she couldn’t fly to anyone.
She is still one of the most mobile healers.
In a way, yes, megathreads happen when the forums become nothing but a single topic and the development team doesn’t find the feedback constructive or actionable.
The Brigitte threads right now have value to the dev team, so until they don’t anymore they won’t megathread them.
I’ll buy it. I don’t agree with it in a customer service angle and it’s a pretty detestable practice, but yeah. It was pretty clear Blizzard wasn’t going to make changes to Mercy when you could watch her pick rates start to rise.
I can actually see her getting a nerf in the future, because in OWL she’s beginning to get to that same level of must-pick because other healers just don’t perform consistently enough.
Or at least I see her getting a nerf before she ever gets another rework, both very unlikely.
I think that depends on how the meta develops. Mercy is good, but a lot of her value is meta dependent. She’s a lot better with dive or a spread out comp than in a deathball. So, if we go deathball again expect her pick rate to drop just because GA becomes less valuable and she becomes an easier target.
Finally now the Mercy crybabies will stop crying. or they wont. wait, they definitely wont. welp, nothing changed.
Ressurect is just way too good of a value engine. In regular play, it’s not really that much, and I can see why people claim it’s terrible. If you rez a terrible person, your ability was a 1.75s cast of “make me a target.”
If you rez Fleta, JJonak, or Snillo, oh baby did you just make some nutty value.
If I say symmetra is overpowered ,it doesn’t matter how much or how loudly I’ll cry ,I’d be wrong and they shouldn’t listen to me.
You may be right. Rez might just be too important for teams to give her up, but I could see them doing it for a Lucio/Brigitte pair with the new meta unless you go triple support which actually seems viable now.
Mercy is the best main support in the game, what more do you want?
Many of the people that are frustrated about Mercy dislike the playstyle rather than the effectiveness.
As a result, it’s relatively easy to continue to hold the position of being ignored if one wants to do so.
Ty Jeff…you shouldn’t have had to say Anything to be honest as it should’ve been plainly obvious to anyone that she’s fine anyway…,but ty nonetheless
Can we pleeeeease pit this discussion to rest like we shouldve 3 months ago…or are we goin to somehow pretend that another Jeff response isn’t specific enough
They still don’t know what they want to do with her. The current rez is just a lazy band aid fix and anyone who says otherwise doesn’t really play Mercy.
