"Mercy is the 3rd most played hero in the current competitive season and in the game for the past month. Her win rate hovers very close to 50%.
We don’t feel like Mercy needs changes right now."
This is from May 3rd, 2018 —
— THREE MONTHS AGO.
Were you simply lying to us to keep us happy while you stabbed us in the back?
Or do you truly not know which route you want to take, despite having —
— quite literally —
— thousands of suggestions given to you?
All this because they didn’t want to fix the root causes of why mass rez became an issue
That would involve admitting that the rework was a terrible idea to begin with.
Can’t have that.
yeah and they said D.Va is meant to be a bully tank
then she was meant to guard tires
then she was a bully tank again
then she was doing too much bullying
people change they minds
Did you not see he emphasized “right now.” Three months is a long time for a meta to evolve.
It’s funny because this shows the hypocrisy.
I did see that — I had to type it out.
Look, I play a Paladin in World of Warcraft, so I’m no stranger to the nerf bat.
But at least Paladins could multi-task.
So you saw that they weren’t lying to us and you still had to ask? >.>
The guy turned down a great idea given to him by his own coworker, do you actually think he’s gonna take into account the opinions of random trashcans on the internet?
No, I don’t.
It’s just frustrating & disappointing at the same time.
I mean he did say right now–OhiMark has a point.
Well, actually, I don’t know if they were lying or not.
Is it possible they changed their minds in three months?
Yes.
That doesn’t mean that is what happened.
That’s still like 999 people angry who are going to storm in here raging like it’s the end of the world when their solution isn’t the chosen one.
Lol Mercy Mains are so Over dramatic
Well, Blizzard made us this way.
I’m sure your tune would change if your hero was reworked from a balanced state into a perpetually mandatory pick that nearly everyone universally detests that gets nerfed 10 times.
With a megathread to let us know that we are second class citizens being discriminated against because we play Mercy. So our opinions don’t matter in their opinions.
You need to let that anger go man, it’s been 27 years already.
And this is one of the reason Developers do not respond, people back paddles to past post and complains about backstabbing.
There is no backstabbing here, a lot can change in a game in a month especially in a game like this. Just because they said she is fine 3 months ago doesn’t mean they have to stick to it for the rest of the game’s life.
I main the most changed hero in the game. They’re not being hypocrites
Okay, I’ll bite.
What changed in those three months?
