WHY Evil Mercy Mythic Skin???

[Saana]

i seriously do not understand who is in charge at Blizzard HQ. Mercy is designed as an angel and she's adored for that. Releasing yet another evil themed Mythic skin for the 5TH TIME IN A ROW on the most angelic hero in the game is beyond my comprehension.

She already has the Devil and Imp skins for evil theme, which are extremely underused. Because most Mercy players don't want another bad girl. They could play Moira for that if they wanted to.

Congrats, You had 1 chance of making me re-install this trash and earn 10 bucks off me. And You threw that away.

I think so too, they chose the best hero to be the mythic for the theme because everyone always regards Angela to be merciful and good so seeing her be evil for once is nice. This battlepass is my favorite so far, I'm excited to play Mercy more in season 10.

What issues do you have with going into Battle Mercy mode? I've personally trained a lot in those Mercy boxing customs to swipe in like a bird for melee hits on low enemies, it's pretty fun.

The issue of doing it too often lol.

I prefer Lifeweaver, Baptiste, Brig & Ana for general play. Moira if the enemy comp is dive heavy.

That gave me a chuckle, I do that sometimes too but I can't help it since being a battle Mercy is fun.

Those are some good support picks too, I play them myself as well as Moira and Kiriko. Brigitte is definitely my personal favorite though second to Mercy, I like swapping to her a lot of the time.

Because despite her being in a bad state for support, she is still one of the most popular characters in pick rate likewise to Kiriko.

I know that, theres still so many mercy fans everywhere

Mercy is just fun to play, even if her GA is nerfed majority of us won't stop playing her.

The theme is Mirrorwatch and it makes sense to choose her for the mythic because of her lore, name and design. As a Mercy main myself I'm actually happy she's getting an evil cosmetic because she has very few of them, she already has enough girly cosmetics.

It baffles me there is no "good Moira" outfit.

I was hoping she would get one for the Mirrorwatch theme, seeing a good Moira would be awesome but I can see why she didn't receive a skin since she was the mythic for season 9.

That's just your usual Moira, they are good skins don't get me wrong but I believe Novy was talking about a bad guy turned good type of skin.

Her only evilish looking skins are Seer, Devil, Imp and Zombie compared to the multitude of feminine, cutesy or sexy skins. I'm happy Blizzard has chose her for mythic personally, and brownie points that she gets a 5th evil skin to her collection. She'll end up getting another girly skin next season or so anyway so it's not that big of a deal tbh, I'm sure there'll be a skin out of the millions she already has that you'll eventually like.

Witch skin is obviously evil, with the Junkenstein lore, her calling the other heroes servants, etc.

Also, the problem isn't if she will get a good skin next season or even tomorrow. Its the fact they release only one Mythic skin per season (around 6 total per year). Given they release a new hero roughly every 2 seasons, it means the Mythic skins are catching up with the total heroes by a count of only 3 per year. This means it will take roughly a decade before we will see a 2nd Mythic Skin for any hero, given there are 29 heroes that do not have a Mythic skin yet. At that point it would likely be 3v3 Overwatch 4.
i am not fancy of waiting a decade to see an actual Mythic skin that fits my all-time favorite hero instead of a skin that only fit a very specific and extremely niche game mode that will likely not be played after a week and forgotten after the season ends. Like Season 11, wow, evil Vengeance Mercy in competitive, but all she does is healing allies. How does that fit evil-themed hero?

i mean i was getting fed up with the evil themes anyways, but at least it can be justified for Hanzo, Moira, etc. But for Mercy, especially since a hero realistically only gets one Mythic, You must make it count. i do not see them releasing good boy Hanzo or good girl Moira Mythic skins though. So why is it okay to ruin Mercy's character? Look how loved Kiriko's Mythic skin is. Mercy could've had the most stunning skin of all time here...

I wish they make her mythic something cute too :/ Like fairy or similiar to pink mercy.

But I have no problem with evil skin for her, but this one is ugly, like really really ugly :/
Not feel even evil but robotic, it would feel more with robotic theme battle pass.

And she look like mystic moira/reaper lol.

The skin has 3 forms (very uncreative). The first form looks very evil'ish, and yes extremely ugly. The other 2 look more robotic as You said.

i just happened to Google for a few minutes and found a concept art for Mythic Mercy which is astronomically better. Seriously Blizzard was better off just paying her and release this skin instead.

Nothing about the Witch skin is evil, it's too sensual for it to even be a Witch and it's one of her most sexualised skins alongside Lifeguard but it's still a good skin anyway.

I mean, that's just your opinion; but you could ask the same of Ana being null sector yet she still heals and helps her team. The skins are just cosmetic purposes with some lore attached at the end of the day, it's not meant to affect the actual gameplay. I wouldn't go as far as to say ruin though, it may not be your cup of tea but it doesn't mean her character is destroyed. You've got plenty of good themed skins and cutesy and sensual ones at that like Bumblebee, Pink Mercy, Dr Ziegler, Winged Victory, Mage, Miko, Combat Ziegler, Sugar Plum, Lifeguard, etc.

Also if you really want a nice mythic skin idea, I wouldn't be going with one thats Egyptian when she's a Swiss woman. Give that kind of mythic to Ana or Pharah. Mercy already has enough different cultural skins, more than any of the Asian heroes in the game.

Perhaps I've been over-exposed, thus desensitised to sexual content because I honestly do not look at Lifeguard or Witch as sexualised skins in the slightest lol.

How does Witch qualify? Due to her upper thighs showing?

Yes, but Moira just needed a Legendary skin, though. Wasted opportunity anyway.

Maybe one day she will get a shop skin.

Despite the evil themed voicelines, the design of Witch is just a take on those sexy Witch Halloween cosplays that women can buy for when its Spooktober and the usual depictions of witches don't wear anything of that sort with revealing their chest and thighs especially given the timeline of witches when you look at things like the real incident of Salem witch trials. It doesn't help that Mercy is also unfortunately commonly used for rule34, there's a general thing with her being treated sexually as well; I've also had some pretty weird players when I've used Witch and Lifeguard (as I like to rotate between all my skins). Lifeguard was also something that was highly demanded by players for years, she gets a pretty modest outfit compared to Widows at least but I've seen a lot of people express disappointment that it wasn't more revealing but they still gooned over her midriff, legs and of course feet lmao

Looks like ♥♥♥♥ anyway, who cares. Pay up piggies.

Lifeguard is a beach skin. For that theme, its not showy at all. The Witch skin is a bit sexualized, true. But saying it does not an evil-themed skin doesn't make sense. All her voice lines in Junkerstein depict her as an evil woman. And many dictionaries connote witch to evil. From Oxford Languages for example:
Noun: a person thought to have magic powers, especially evil ones, popularly depicted as a woman wearing a black cloak and pointed hat and flying on a broomstick.
Verb: cast an evil spell on.

i never liked Ana's Mythic either. But there is a case to make for Ana as high skilled players often deal a lot of damage and hence an evil theme can fit. Lore wise, Ana's seen a lot of blood as a sniper assassin. And the Mythic was released right after Tracer's, which was themed adventure and perhaps heroism. Nothing of such can be said about Mercy.

i do not see any problem with a Swiss woman wearing Egyptian clothes. Sounds weird that You even bring this up.

Because these companies love pushing the weird and evil agendas as they are all in bed together and probably literally knowing how sick they are.

idk why so many people hate her mythic, i own pink mercy and all of her other skins and i grew tired of them quickly. seeing this necromancy queen skin theme is so awesome to me; mercy doesn’t HAVE to be cute or evil, she’s whatever she wants to be. that’s what’s cool about SKINS!

too much drama for skin what a day we live

Hence why I compared her Lifeguard skin to Widows, but even with hers not being an outright bikini she still gets sexualised as I've said before. It doesn't fit an evil theme skin because nothing about a sexualised Halloween cosplay is evil or even remotely scary which is why Zombie Doctor was a huge deal when it came out because it's the first time she got something that actually makes her look evil.

I'll be honest, literally none of your arguments make sense. Ana is a good person regardless of her "dealing high dps" in matches or "seen a lot of blood" in lore so you should be arguing the same thing that she shouldn't have received the null sector mythic. I believe you're just biased towards Mercy, in which case you should genuinely just be grateful and appreciative that we even got chosen to be a mythic in the first place. There are people whose mains haven't gotten many skins at all since the launch of OW2.

You don't see a problem? WIth a white woman wearing Egyptian cultural clothing instead of giving that to Ana and Pharah so Mercy can have something from her own culture? She has 5 different Asian skins in this game already and nothing from her own heritage.

Because it isn't cutesy uwu girly sexy to them so they would rather hate on the fact they didn't get another skin to add to the theme of their 20+ other skins that they probably don't even use.
