Why mercy mains are so toxic?

And at some point, it’s hard to even take your posting seriously when you begin by implying the concept of a “hive mind,” while understandably a humorous metaphor, still implies that you actively believe any poster on this forum actively communicates together before posting.

That’s not how a hive-mind works and it’s obviously a metaphor. There are individual players with specific agenda, which will do whatever they need in order to push their agenda - up-voting those with the same agenda, disrupting those with a different opinion. I don’t believe all of them secretly communicate with one another and that’s not what I’m saying, that’s you projecting. I certainly don’t believe any poster on this forum actively communicates before posting. Way to put words in my mouth and put my position to the absolute extreme.

I’m not attacking Mercy players - I am a Mercy player myself.

Here’s some evidence for you then:

@TiefLesbian-1321

I find Symmetra fun and balanced. You just want her to be OP. Blizzard decided these were they right changes, so they must be right.

@anon50394144

you are right, symmetra is fun and balanced.

i love symmetra, she can do a lot of damage, also i keep getting better and better with my beam usage.

@Racillian-1752

Excuse me, Sym recently got a Rework she’s fine and balanced and because her mechanical skill requirement is lesser than other DPS she shouldn’t be dominant .

^ actually I don’t agree with that viewpoint, but it is certainly one method of justifying the stats quo of changes or lack there of used around here.

Three examples of people attacking Symmetra to try and get an emotional rise from me and to bully me into a specific opinion. Unless of course you think necro-ing one month old thread is justified by going through a person’s profile for the specific intent to troll.

I also had to appeal my silence and it took time to have a mod review the evidence and find me innocent. And threads of similar cases have come up on the forum:

So there’s my proof, look around the forums and you will find that there are other people like me.

@shiinotic-1889

To be totally fair, there does seem to be a discord of forum mercy mains. Someone asked me my rank once whileI was deep in some argument and said “I’m just asking because people in the discord wanted to know”. I’m not saying there’s a hive mind, but there is a level of communication

Why am I not surprised even in the slightest
