Of these two items labeled as fact, only the first one (if it is true that the Q button is bound by default to ultimates) listed is actually a fact
Now that is 100% genuine fact right darn there.

I’d argue Widowmaker, Orisa, and Symmetra’s ults aren’t their most powerful abilities but its w/e
To be completely fair, people often criticize Orisa and Symmetra’s ultimates for not being very good. Widow’s less so, because it can be extremely powerful–having information like that is an extremely powerful tool, but a tool is only as good as the user.

They are moreso for giving team wide buffs that are most times more powerful then normal abilities.
though it can be argued that hanzo has widows ult a lot more frequently though widows is moreso suited to her and giving her allies situational awareness that they otherwise wouldn’t have.
(orisa’s is abit iffier but the damage buff does help win teamfights quite quickly if taken advantage of properly, and sym barrier can be quite great for stalling points and helping teammates survive situations they normally would have died in)
(mercy’s valk is moreso of a self escape tool as you really cant save people with it at all)

Plus Widow can one-shot most of the cast with her primary fire. That kinda takes up almost all of her power budget.

I am guessing you meant “cant” instead of “can” here
With that taken as assumed, I have saved many people with Valkyrie, and seen many others do the same.
Yeah I was going to also include Pharah, Reaper, and McCrees but they are technically powerful
With 60hps.
Which Mercy has had as her base healing for most of the game’s lifetime, and can be easily out-damaged by one enemy with decent aim.
That measures up to the standards of a cooldown ability, not an ult.

There was no argument to rebut…fact is fact, fiction is fiction.
Factually, Blizzard determine what the ultimate is for each character. The definition of what ability is the ultimate is available both in game and on various websites that explain each characters powers and abilities
Factually, an ability that Blizzard has not defined as an ultimate, is not an ultimate
If a player states that in their opinion, ability x for character y is more powerful than the ultimate for character y, np. One may agree or disagree.
If a player states that ability x for character y is the ultimate for character y, when ability z is the ultimate for character y, this is then a non-factual statement
I am not making use of semantics
I am stating fact
I made a factual statement
If there were a matter of valuation/judgement, I might perhaps have something more to say on the matter.
I have responded with a factual statement
If one were to state that 2+2 = 22, I would make a statement that 2 + 2 = 4
I would in such a case feel there is nothing further to be said, and that is true in this case as well
Semantics.
They’re facts too. But they are still
Semantics.

Are they back at it again with the “factually” and “in my opinion” stuff?
That’s basically all I see them say at this point.
Best to ignore if it’s causing upset

Lets stop derailing from the topic.
it was semantics.

Did you just…
say that semantics aren’t facts?

In my opinion, I have addressed statements made in this thread, and have not made use of semantics, but rather pure fact

Please just ignore them.

On a more productive note, I’m currently working on calculating utility potential. I already have a spreadsheet detailing healing/damage potential, but it isn’t really enough information. I also wanted to calculate it per rank, but can’t because of Overbuff’s layout. Do you think I should just make a form and get as many people as I can to fill it out? (All 100% support related, I just want to figure out if Mercy’s overall potential is really so much lower than the other supports)
Everything you have said of my points thus far has been correct.
