They are shipped so hard because of how well they work together in a team base shooter. They have no lines together other than Mercy talking about her mother.

Genji and Mercy have more interactions and have known each other for a while since she saved his life. But you'll be attacked by fans for supporting the Gency ship.

That said, Shipping is some srs shit.
