Why mercy mains are so toxic?

If you dare to speak about a nerf, you will get considered toxic.
If u say something about mercy, u are toxic and a troll in the forum.

Instead of asking buffs for mercy, why dont you try to nerf other heroes?
Mabye make some threads about other heroes than mercy, because after 1 year from her rework, is a little bit boring to see people complaining about her nerfs after all this time of “must pick”.

And please, dont take it personally (cit. Pharah), but we want more freedom. The devs did a great job about her last nerf giving more space to other heroes in the support lineup (like moira ana or lucio).

What world are you living in LMFAO. We, Mercy mains, are the ones that get called toxic and trolls. There’s even a meme being made on the forums about us. Apparently we are cultists…

No one ever asks to buff Mercy…

This has to be a Poe. You went out of your way to insult them and throw temper tantrums but they’re toxic?

They’re annoying among other things but not toxic.

Just don’t bother with SnapDragon, they recently made a thread essentially saying Mercy doesn’t belong in an FPS like Overwatch, and this is probably a response to his post being flagged. It’s hilarious considering that OW is more MOBA-esque than a traditional FPS.

LMAO, I’M DEADDD. Fyi SnapDragon, Overwatch isn’t marketed as an FPS game.

ok, why Mercy mains are so toxic ?

my answer is Blizzard

I mean Mercy has been nerfed and nerfed and then again nerfed with every patch

Sure, she got that Immortality when casting rez, no wait it was removed -_-
and the immortality was there to help Mercy rezzing people, now rezzing makes you fulnerable for 2 second

and she can Rez only 1 person in 30 seconds, and how many seconds it takes to kill anyone in this game ?

Look at the OP’s previous thread. XD

You got him there. He’s definitely the toxic one.


It doesn’t matter which hero you main, there will always be toxic players. That’s unavoidable with online games.

Mercy mains are a majority on these forums. That being said there’s bound to be some irrational Mercy mains alongside them that aren’t yelling about anything else but revert or rez. They’re being aggressive about nerfs because currently Mercy shows alarming statistics. She’s currently underperforming very hard due to losing 17% healing and her best meta shifting (losing gravdragon synergy). Previously her statistics were in line with other supports considering their healing, damage and utility, but they still decided to give her a considerable nerf. Of course there’s bound to be flaming and anger with these circumstances…

Nice strawman, too bad it has nothing to do with reality.

It’s not like video games are about fun or anything. They should be as un-fun as possible, actually.

Not anymore yes, thanks to Blizzard nerfing her and buffing all the other supports and good job to them.

Nice strawman, too bad I find Mercy fun and balanced. And fun is irrelevant when it comes to balance. You can’t keep an OP character OP because it’s fun.

If fun is irrelevant to balance, then one of the major reasons for Mercy’s rework just flat out doesn’t exist. According to Jeff himself, a big part of why she was looked at was because Mass Resurrect was disheartening (AKA unfun) to play against.

Don’t try to rehash a word when you don’t know what it means. And fun is relevant when it comes to balance. It’s a video game. It’s literally supposed to be fun, that’s the point. If you have fun with her, great. But there’s plenty of people that disagree with you and they have the right to voice their opinions.

Cool. We’re not asking for her to be OP, though. We’re trying to make her less OP in fact.

No one wants Mercy buffs and the only ones you can nerf in context to Mercy would be other supports, not a good idea.

His previous thread talks about how Mercy mains should quit the game because Overwatch is a FPS game. I’m sure you two would make great friends. Both of you are on par when it comes to common sense.

DEMAND FOR MORE NERFS so asking for a new rework can be JUSTIFIED.

You go into Mercy posts and the first thing you say is “Stop crying and learn a support that requires brain and aim”

You’re the one being toxic?

Do we play the same game? Or your just want to insult people…
For 1000000000th time on this forum - Mercy players/mains didn’t ask for the rework, they knew she was OP and had to be tuned down. They didn’t complain about it at first but when your beloved hero is nerfed 10-11 times would you call it a “Successful Rework”?
All they want is Mercy to be fun , not to be OP or UP , JUST TO BE FUN.
Wanna know why she’s not fun?
1.She has no weaknesses. - No weaknesses means no challenges.
2.She’s extremely team-dependent.
3.Has a spectator mode for a Ultimate and Statue Mode for E-ability.
4.Her healing output is so low(even if it’s consistent) - It takes ages to heal a tank.
5.Toxic people that blame you for their mistakes when you’re trying your best to keep everyone alive.
But YEAH , MERCY HAS TO BE OP-.-

Thanks to MeliaAntiqua, Ginger, BadWidowEU and MsSysbit for participating and making my theories even more truthful.

And yeah, as someone said, 3/10 of the ow player base is mercy main, so everything you say about them, you will be considered toxic.

Ill repeat, thanks again to the people who participated in the previous and in this thread at the same time and made my post the thruth about the ow community.
