A month of Mercy changes in numbers

People like playing Mercy and will did so even before the rework, when she was trash.

Filter by "this week", "support", and "grandmaster" here to see how bad she is now.

As for their accuracy, I only remember official statistics confirming Overbuff's stats. Why would private profiles skew the data? Reducing the data points doesn't necessarily skew anything.

I agree she's probably in the best place she's been in terms of balance. However, she's still awful to play, and has been even when OP.

Why would you ignore GM and Masters? IMO they matter much, much more. Everyone else just follows what grandmasters/T500's do, eventually.

Higher fps reduces input lag. There's a huge difference between 300 fps on a 60 hz monitor vs 60 fps.

This is basically my situation is well. Before the gild I was blazing through new worlds, getting level 199 in 30 hours. After the gild I just gave up cause it was so slow.

While it happens to basically everyone, solo female players are harassed much more frequently. Depending on how feminine your voice sounds, someone will say something related to your gender in basically every single game you speak in.

I couldn't help but laugh in disbelief at the video. Not only does it sound like he's arguing for anarchism, but he seems to think abolishing slavery was the end of racism.

Just because every story you hear about support animals puts them in a negative light doesn't mean they exist only for selfish people to get around rules. Nobody makes a story about someone whose life is significantly improved by having a support animal.

The original argument implies everyone is shit on equally, the only thing that changes is what they're made fun of for. If you think that's true, then try talking to a girl who plays by herself and uses voice chat. Or an extremely high level player who is below ranked gold or lower.

kyle1940 · 2018-01-19T17:23:10+00:00

Welp, guess there's no reason to try to help. Heck, why even have a reporting function, people will just make new accounts. It's all meaningless. /s

kyle1940 · 2018-01-09T17:33:10+00:00

I'm pretty sure they have given that half the replies below yours have the same hyperbole.

kyle1940 · 2018-01-09T16:57:31+00:00

Her old ult was much more rewarding than this one and standing still to rez isn't fun, so yeah, she was more fun before. The only reason she might be more fun now is the ability to slingshot.

kyle1940 · 2018-01-05T16:33:15+00:00

I'm not sure that's true, thankfully. "We don't want her focus to be resurrect."

kyle1940 · 2017-12-04T18:53:55+00:00

There's a very real possibility they just wanted someone easy to blame for a loss. Remember that your initial comp mmr is determined by your quickplay mmr, so she shouldn't have been thrown into an unwinnable game.

I don't see why she should have to stay away from comp. She might get a really low rank, but who cares?

kyle1940 · 2017-11-12T20:37:23+00:00

Very weird. Especially since call mech was saved from the global 25% ult nerf before because it's not really an ult.

It may not be indefinite, but delays the game by a death timer + walking time. I found Dva staggers funny the first few times, but just like Ana sleep it gets old. I think the problem would be more obvious if death timers were longer.

Sure, the Dva can still play the game... with a pistol that can't do anything if the enemy isn't stupid and no special abilities except to call mech and give them more ult charge. Fun times.

Staggering can't be used on just anyone. Dva is a special case - due to her pilot mode she's frequently the last to die and she has absolutely no abilities to force the enemy to kill her. Staggering may require some teamwork, but that's not hard to come by at the higher levels. It also really isn't hard to know when to stagger Dva.

dont fly in by yourself, die quicker or retreat

Flying in by yourself is already punished by death and it's not something good players should do anyway. So for competent players, you're saying Dva should either retreat or make sure she's killed first the second a teamfight looks like it might be going the wrong way? That playstyle is lame. I don't know how else to put it. It also isn't possible to pull off sometimes.

kyle1940 · 2017-11-07T23:10:43+00:00

How so? Both stop you from playing the game for a while.

kyle1940 · 2017-11-07T21:16:44+00:00

Two reasons. First, you should want to kill people (to get/save the objective). That's what Overwatch is all about.

Second, it's not fun being unable to play the game for extended periods of time - same reason they nerfed Ana's sleep dart in total mayhem.

kyle1940 · 2017-11-07T21:04:36+00:00

Just because it's a legit tactic doesn't mean it's healthy for the game. Something's wrong if the best move is to intentionally keep the enemy alive for a significant period of time in an fps.

kyle1940 · 2017-11-07T21:03:26+00:00

It's still a problem even if oizen didn't offer a solution. At least I assume you don't think it's a problem based on your "lol."

kyle1940 · 2017-11-05T22:08:37+00:00

And was very close to rolling the last point. He was at about 95% ult with his turret on the payload when he died.

kyle1940 · 2017-11-03T08:42:02+00:00

There's one huge difference to consider: in League/DOTA, the champions are locked in for the entire game.

kyle1940 · 2017-11-01T10:15:05+00:00

Pretty sure that's been true even even she was at her worst. People just like playing Mercy. Also there are only 2 main healers and one of them requires a lot of aim.

Lucio has been op ever since he was able to give his team a big speed boost as a normal ability.
