Yeah?
is everyone going to ignore the fact that the op didn’t have any source what so ever.
For all any of us know this was just pulled out of their butt
Eh, there are plenty of times to pull off resurrection without dying even in risky situations or simply having adequate circumstance such as shields (dva, zarya, orisa, winston, rienhardt,) for example all can facilitate success. Teammates hopefully playing well near corners and not out in the open helps this as well.
However, one does not really need statistics to really state the obvious that having numbers advantage is preferable to none and having Mercy helps to maintain that numbers advantage. The further up from spawn people play the more help resurrection provides in removing team without a full team. That is really the best spot for Mercy honestly is where each resurrection gets maximum value and happens at first point defensive or last point offensive.
Other than that, its also whyyyy ultimates are too strong in this game
It doesn’t matter how disciplined you are and how good you play and your strat is, if the enemy team decide to use all 6ult, you wont be able to absorb it and you’ll lose the point
Thats a big problem
Yeah but that doesnt mean they got used to and liked OP mercy, no?
OP you just made a post speaking of stats you in no way shape or form have.
Due to this you have a seriously flawed argument when people can consider you to be talking out of your butt.

Not really. I mostly see mass rez requests which is less powerful than any iteration of valk.
Factually, your profile cannot be found no matter what people do so everyone is lead to believe you don’t have one at all. You get a biscuit for trying though.

But it is closer to the power level to op mercy than current mercy. Given that overwatch is insanely ult focused right now; her ult would make her insanely good.
Factually, one cannot post in these forums (other than bug and technical) without a Overwatch profile
I suppose I will never understand the term biscuits in the context of this discussion.
Mass rez was never op and only ever trash tier. Valk even now is statistically better. Even with invulnerability Mercy was never as consistent as valk

I am so sorry for beating this dead horse, I know we’ve moved on but I totally just remembered Titanium’s thread. They put stats on Mercy including pre-and-post rework healing numbers and the difference between is like 300hp, so Valk, even with chain beams doesn’t significantly increase the amount healed.
Note: this is also when Mercy was stupidly OP.
Like I said I know that this argument was for the most part over, I just like to make sure that since we were discussing the impact Valk has as justification to nerf her base healing you saw where I got my position on “it doesn’t make a difference”
60hps literally just gives Mercy more time to damage boost.

Factually you can totally make a forum account without a full profile. Otherwise it’d be linked right off here in the forum. Ah well, I guess your attempt only gets half a biscuit this time.

People like OP characters when that character is still one that takes some sort of effort to play.
Base kit Mercy takes more skill than Valkyrie to play.
So realistically, people still like the part they always liked and a lot of people have always found Valkyrie as unfun because it steps on the players toes by doing what the player wants to be doing and doesn’t give them a different moment to have some slightly different impact.

That kind of depends. A Mercy doesn’t really have an effective weapon. Killing her is more like cutting off her avenues of flight. If you limit where she can go, her last hope is relying on her small hitbox. Her pistol doesn’t deal enough damage even with all headshots to be dangerous against anyone at full health.
Ana on the other hand has some of the strongest non ult abilities in the game. If you land a sleep on the enemy Rein, they have no shield for 8 seconds. That’s enough to get 2 picks, minimum. That alone holds the point. If you nail a DPS, their team damage drops through the floor. If you get a support, they lose a massive chunk of healing. Not having Trance available is often the difference between a team wipe or a successful repel/attack. Even if she dies, a Hail Mary anti is sometimes enough to kill someone or it could be just enough to let your Rein win the Rein-Off.
Moira’s abilities aren’t quite as game winning. Her healing spray is like Lucio on steroids. 80 HP per second to everyone in a group is insane. It makes it extremely difficult for flankers to kill their targets unless they get headshots. Her yellow ball is free healing. If you don’t have anyone who can heal a Pharah, she can literally just toss it into the air and walk away. Inside of buildings, her purple orb is basically slaughter. She doesn’t even have to survive to kill whoever was attacking her with it. Her fade is one of the best movement abilities in the game, which massively helps in keeping her alive. If you time it well, it can even dodge a point blank Dva bomb with no cover.
Both of them have impacts on the game that persist after they die. They aren’t as powerful as rezing a team mate but the difference is that neither of them have to risk being in a terrible position and being immobile for 300 years and even still having their ability negated.

Someone else had a big reply so I won’t cover much except:
Ana throwing a nade could still effect healing a team mate and damaging you. A shot could miss you and heal a team mate.
Moira can throw orbs around still healing. Moira has after heals which means there is still time where she is healing while not directly impacting.
They both possess much higher healing values and have ways that they can indirectly still get value.

Numbers alone without context or understanding mean little to nothing.
With Mercy’s initial rework, it was crucial to hold on to Valkyrie until some teammates were dead. So Mercy didn’t take full advantage of her extra healing. Valkyrie also isn’t just about healing. It’s damage boost, pistol, and safer resurrections, and helping Mercy escape danger. Valkyrie is rarely used just for healing, especially when used for initiation. Damage boost is more used in the optimum situation for Valkyrie. She can heal more in a shorter amount of time because of chain beams, but it’s still the same as if she healed for a longer time with just a normal beam. Her healing was also reduced to 50 hps. One would expect this to lower her average healing, but it didn’t have much change at all. I’ll repeat what I said in another thread a while ago:
Now Mercy has 60 hps back during Valkyrie, which is a nice boost to her healing. But it’s unnecessary because 50 hps would suffice, but it’s still a nice buff.
So now Mercy is Symmetra 1.0 in terms of where she is useful (plus a few Pharah maps)
I see that the rework really panned out well11! /s
Mercy’s will never understand the full power of the rez.
If you pick up a Roadhog it’s gg.
