Are you referring to old "wait for everybody to die and rez them" Mercy or new "anime battlefield nurse" Mercy?

Old Mercy.

Also I am glad Deathwing D.Va exists.

Grom wouldn't have felt weak to play, but nobody should really have expected better of his son.

Wishing the gun was just her arm, honestly. Though I have also been playing Metroid lately.

Where's Maiev, who did nothing wrong and was proven right?

Also yeah, Sombra is rad but doesn't pretty much everything she could do already exist?

I'm trying to think of heroes who were released weak and fixed by just number buffs rather than larger talent changes because what they were trying to just wasn't terribly useful. Maybe Lunara and Cassia?

Any time anyone complains about a new hero being overpowered I want to remind them about the days of Rexxar, and Losenara

I don't know how anyone thought Rexxar should have been released with how godawful that control scheme was.

If a hero had a talent that fancied up their skins but had no numbers attached, how highly picked would it be?

If it's on Lunara's wisp tier, 100%.

I'd say most avenged deaths or whatever it is is probably the most backhanded and embarrassing one to get. Though that being said, if you get that and you're the only member of your team on the board, you get to say they were even worse.

It's funny to me that a D.Va skin gets as big billing as some new heroes.

It sucks that their esports folks are having the rug pulled out from under them, but hopefully it will get more people to recognize that's not a viable career path since you'll have even fewer protections than the average US worker and will literally never be able to unionize.

Not sure what your opinion has to do with Blizzard blowing money on frivolous things (like over produced esports and comics and an anime trailer for a game they hadn't actually sold people on yet) and not figuring out basic ways to make money off of the microtransactions they already had in the game, like letting people actually buy the things that they want, making more things that people might want, or pricing things competitively, both of which combined to draw the ire of Activision execs and shareholders.

I'd be willing to bet that not being able to directly buu the things you want was an Activision decision.

Speaking of skins, while it wouldn't have saved the game it still strikes me as odd that they didn't make skins from the other main series for each hero, instead opting for just very generic themes. They could even sweeten the deal by having a series skin count for quests. I know there were a lot of times I'd log on, not feel like playing anything that would fit my quests, and log off.

I ain't ever giving Bobby K any more money

Yeah honestly after that record profits + mass layoffs to give a new CFO a bunch of money bullshit I'm in the same place. This company doesn't deserve a shred of support after that (and yeah I know it's nothing new in the industry, just more apparent now) and it's clear they'll only get worse.
