I tried to instigate this with the IMBA cup, but it didn't work out.

But on a more serious note, it'd be really cool to wager donations in 1v1. Like "I kicked you ass, pay up!"

What about a charity tourney for high rated players?

Maybe we can tie it to "The Game". If you lose, you have to donate three-fiddy to FAF.

Oh shit, I just lost.

the mercy is the problem not the fighter bomber. If someone would waste a mercy to distract aa from a fb this would waste of mass

"Microed out" <- The mercy isn't wasted at all.

yeah you cant micro out a mercy. it is turning too slow and probably would be hit by the AA before you can micro it out

Mercy max speed is 10, ASF is 25. Is 150% a "small buff"?

Also, mercies are already highpriair, which means all AA units will, when given a choice, shoot them first.

when given a choice made me think about something:

given a interceptor is flying in front of the mercy, it will come into aa range first. will aa switch to mercy immediately if it comes into range, or will it first kill the int and then switch target?

I think it will first kill the int and then switch, which is a problem, isnt it? would this be fixable?

Why do people cry so much about Mercies? They're very easy to counter, and although annoying en-mass, if you haven't got any air or anti-air up, you're doing something wrong.

Mainly cause Mercys have such a huge attack range, that they tend to give a shit about slow projectile AA (pretty much every AA in the game). Thats why Mercys need an attack range nerf.
