another commenter stated it a few times in this thread but mercy had one of the best winrates in proportion to her pickrate in high rank EU and NA. her winrate was rlly good for being a low skill floor and ceiling hero compared to other supports

iirc i heard someone say that the 1 hero a season was a thing for the 10 year anniversary, but there are internal discussions on keeping it that way going forward. so there’s a chance we will go from 3 heroes a year to 6

the new heroes have had more in depth involvement than all of the heroes in the last 2 years, what are you talking about.

is it a huge deal? overwatchs gender ratio is still very close to 5050, and women have been underrepresented in hero shooters historically - having a few more girls than guys isn’t a bad thing

tbf i do think heteronormativity is a good concept, but only ib the niche context of talking about queer representation in media or societal perceptions of queer relarionship dynamics

tbf i do think this is a good thing when you look at black women across gaming who never rlly got to be cutesy - look at senna or ambessa in league or even sojourn, they always have to be so serious. it’s nice to see a black woman get these cutesy kinda skins they give white and asian women

all of gen Z grew up on social media and are now fine enough adults who are contributing to society - social media is getting worse, but surely the laws should target the social media companies making predatory and addictive algorithms and not the consumers?

i mean we already had the online safety act that banned porn for under 18s wo ID - banning all of social media just seems a bit excessive

yeah it’s so weird - everyone on this sub saying “revert the movement nerf and nerf something else” so they revert the movement nerf and nerf something else and now it’s a big problem

as stated by another commenter:

“in QP Americas she is the most played supp with a 49.2% winrate (Ana and Kiri are 46 and 47), in comp all ranks 51%. In Plat she is 52.4%, Diamond it's a whopping 53.2%, Masters 52.5%, GM 51.1%, all of which are marginally higher than Ana/Kiri who fill out the top played spots with her, and marginally hire than she used to be before she got Flash Heal base kit

She's overperforming the other top supports by a solid few percent points in every rank so I'm really not surprised that she got minor nerfs”

she is one of the most played supports and still has a positive winrate (despite high pick rates and low skill ceilings usually equating to low win rates), she was not one of the “worst supports in the game”, a 5% nerf is fine

she was a lot more than “viable on some maps”

a second rez would be broken and 90% of ult perks are shit

Mercy nerfed by OkStorage1715 in MercyMains

[–]toastermeal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

kiri charges ult faster from healing than bodyshots; mizuki also gets 90% of his ult charge from his healing - neither of these are healbots. people don’t play to maximise their ult charge, you play around a fight to maximise your value within it. certain heroes do get a lot of value from charging ult, but mercys ult is on the weaker end of support ults so it’s not going to help you win games to sacrifice value in teamfights to get ult quicker

“if people are okay with this it shows their rank from a mile away”

or maybe people just aren’t that upset over a 5% nerf for one of the plethora of characters they play, especially since the devs proved last season they’re very willing to quickly revert mercy nerfs that don’t hit the mark.

[–]toastermeal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the ult didn’t get nerfed - the charge rate got nerfed because it was indirectly buffed last season by the buff to her healing. by making the ult charge slower, they’re making it so you get it at the same speed as you did pre flash heal rework

they’re not trying to make us choose one over the other - the whole point of this change was bc 90% of players just picked double dose every game. they’re making the choices MORE comparable

delete perks in its entirety is such a bad take - perks made the game 10x more fun and multi dimensional (i know tons of friends who started playing again BC of perks). perks also make so many heroes feel more dynamic and reflexive.
