>>3455701Well, once again, I'm sorry you feel that way; I likewise don't fault you, but I will admit to being unable to see it that way. I have a -lot- more I could say, and I could go -far- more into depth on this issue point-by-point, but we've been down that road before, and I would prefer for the thread to remain pleasant, especially since we've managed such a good job so far.
I will, however, go as far to say if you think she has been nothing but rewarded, I would like to see this edited cut you've apparently been viewing.
>>3455955>>3455999I certainly disagree with the notion that she isn't engaging. I think my friend's view is somewhat jaded, and while I won't deny Blizzard have done a lot to discourage excitement for her (I've railed against the specifics myself many, many times just in these threads), I think there is a lot of genuinely good and captivating aspects of her to appreciate. Her commitment to her fellow man, the inspiration she takes from others and returns in kind, her capacity to persevere and retain her ideals even in the face of tragedy and adversity, and the way she gets her hair to do the thing it does. Now, I'm aware and critical of what I consider to be the substantive issues with her (in general, I think she suffers from untapped developmental potential due to the writers' semi-evident crippling fear of progression), but at no point do I think they're disqualifying.
I realize I'm kinda spilling my heart about Tracer right now, so let me take a moment to show solidarity with our Mercyfriend. I think Mercy is awesome. I love her design, her identity and her unwavering dedication to her ideals and to helping others (noticing a pattern with my preferences, yet?). She has consistently been a solid #2 or #3 for me since the very beginning (she and Mei tend to swap places depending on my mood).
Incidentally, I actually have plenty of Mercy-Tracer pictures. But... they're not exactly appropriate for a blue board, if you take my meaning.
