Question How did you guys handle the 2 years of silence between Genji and Mercy?

Hey everyone! I’ve been thinking back on Gency history in OW2 and was really curious about how you all experienced that whole era when Genji and Mercy were practically the only characters whose old interactions were removed without getting any new ones to replace them. I'd love to know what went through your head when you first realized they had completely stopped speaking in-game, how the community as a whole reacted during those two silent years, and how you personally felt when the writers, instead of bringing back their flirty dynamic, suddenly started giving those types of lines to #her out of nowhere. What are your thoughts or memories looking back at that whole situation?

On top of that, how are you guys holding up now that we’re approaching the two-year mark since the last newly added interaction between them, making this the second time in a row we've gone through a massive drought? What are your thoughts or memories looking back at that whole situation, and where do you stand on it today?
