Why I Have Yet to Not Despise Mercy's Current State

If your choice of position was poor, something has to be done.

It is not your decision to make because you have no idea how I would have dealt with the situation.

It is, as your skills can be guessed from previous encounters.

Either your team fixes your bad position, or other team uses it. If you already there, it leaves you fixing it out of question.

The player has to fix it his or herself.

How will they do it, if they have no idea their spot is bad?

What if they’re not in a bad spot? What if you’re wrong and you completely misjudged the situation? That player would have no say in what’s going on if you just pull them around the map.

That’s why they can press interact at any moment to cut themselves free. One button press and you no longer pulled anywhere.

How about I don’t have to worry about someone trying to think for me?

This conversation is incredibly frustrating. You will obviously never see what I’m seeing. I’ve experienced this FIRST HAND. I dealt with this issue JUST THE OTHER DAY. And this ability has been in the game for at least the last three expansions.

Which shows that devs have no problems with such ability present in game.

This will not work in an OW setting! AND they have added things to PREVENT someone using this ability on you!

As an FYI, there was an ability that hunters had for far too long that would cause you to be stunned if you took any damage. Sure, it allowed you to run faster when the buff was up, but holy crap was it annoying, and you couldn’t even remove the buff yourself! That was in the game for way too long.

Just as I did add things, so you can decline it. And ability to move someone in game, where mobility is king, is very handy.

No, because I may not be able to cancel it in time, thus giving you the chance to completely screw me over.

What exact time we talking about? 0.5 s?

It’s just as easy to remove healing from DPS to ruin everything, so should we not allow that?

Mobility being king is precisely why this would be bad for OW because people would feel it would need to be used all of the time. Life Grip is more situational in WoW, so its use is not as prevalent.

People were having problems with Sombra’s hack speed because of human reaction time.

When any damage would cancel her hack? Hard to believe that.

Yes. That’s why the time was increased.

In case of this ability, speed can be decreased, so you are not 10 m away by the time you cancel it.

In which case, how helpful would it be to you?

To climb some places or get into sky, for instance. Would be interesting to drop Hammond from the sky like a bomb.
