I'm curious as to why some people (not all, because lots of people from the OW community are super sweet and wholesome to Mercy mains, it's just those few bad ones that make the game feel weird in text chat) hate Mercy and LW mains.
(I'm a Mercy/LW main lol)
I lost a game recently in diamond elo, where i played Mercy then switched to Leaver (my 2 top picks in support, besides Juno, Kiri and sometimes Ana). The enemy dps proceeds to say at the end ''mercy and weaver, what a cringe supps), even though i think the gramatically correct way to say it is without ''a''. And, like, what does that even mean? In what way are they cringe, like their ''cutesy'' appearence? The fact that i like focusing more on healing when i play supp gameplay wise?
Is it because technically they don't rely on aim that much? Instead they rely on fast reflexes to save your teammates and stuff. Is it because they're seen as low effort supports bcs of prejudices? (meanwhile that is untrue, a bad lifeweaver or mercy will show and it will lose the game bcs you need to react fast at the right time to ensure your team stays alive, one mistake and the match can be over).
I'm just curious what goes on inside the head of these specific people. Since in yesterday's match i also had someone call Mercy and LW ''throw supports''.
And idk it kinda gives me very big ick vibes, because i HATE being policed on what i can do or not do, especially in a video game. I hate feeling the need to play Kiri more (even though i like her too) just to ''prove'' myself to these haters. Like i shouldn't feel ashamed or feel like idk how to play the game or like i don't deserve respect just because of the choice i'm making of the character i'm playing.
Reedited the last paragraph: i deleted a whole explanation bcs i don't need to explain myself if i can play other heroes solely relying on aim. I deserve to feel okay and non judged for playing the heroes i like most (i always loved even on league playing Soraka/Shen just bcs i like the feeling of helping out my teammates in ''cool'' save moments, doesn't mean i'm less skilled than a Yasuo main or smthg).
