Of all these posts there is so many opinions and statements which makes me feel so bad about mercy’s predicament lol. There should not be a rift when having an existing hero… like if you come across two tracer mains they gg ez eachother and moveon because it’s in their DNA to be goofballs completely fine with Tracer’s state. But in mercy’s there is so much mixed opinions and claims and I frankly don’t know what or who to believe. But what I do know is this rift has made it to where in my games I am stereotypically shunned for one-tricking her in Quickplay classic whereas I play to enjoy the hero that was advertised and dragged me into the game in the first place–but Mercy’s style of gameplay most teams I have ever come across as of late hate me for selecting her and only her. ‘Play someone else?’ no, I waited like, three days of nonstop work to play some casual mercy gameplay like the good ol’ days-- go play competitive or role queue.
I know this is all mumbo jumbo opinions but sheesh, my point is I can’t just get a break with trying to avoid matches where the negativity towards me is unanimous for maining her… is it just my MMR? My luck? I don’t mind the increased odds of dying a fudgeton but dying and getting T-bagged while getting reported notices because I’m a one-trick QUICKPLAY mercy is freaking wild to me. My money, my preferred hero, my game bro, chill.
EDIT: I even try with blood sweat and tears to make everyone feel loved while healing and pocketing them and they are just unphased by it like ‘duhh it’s your duty to heal me, you just need to pick a better healer to synergize with the hero i picked’ ofc this isn’t word for word but the intent is the same. Like in some instances I will only synergize if you also change and aren’t an a$$hole.
