i dont want much else changed but also wouldnt mind e rez being on a resource meter instead of cooldown, that way mercys who are making plays instead of healbotting are rewarded, plus this would make her ult more meaningful.
Ranked from what I feel would be better for the hero
4>2>3>1
Rez could use a tweak
Being able to provide more healing would really help
Valk is an OK ult right now but it isn’t the most impactful soley based on follow up
Battle mercy is great for certain scenarios but that buff wouldn’t help her too much
I don’t like mercy but I would add a “charge”
Mechanic to Rez that depletes all charges upon use, charges are also lost upon death, healing beam builds up charges at a slow rate, damage boost also doesn’t build charges.
Valkyrie increases rate at which charges are built.
I think that would add more fun. Mercy’s get rewarded for winning team fights, but are punished heavily for misplays.
i forget which streamer (or thread) i saw this from but basically rez needs to be earned and putting it on a resource meter that fills up as you damage/dboost/heal will reward decent mercy players and give more plays for mercy as a hero, esp with how valk is designed right now imo.
i wouldnt know the numbers, but obviously the better at GA and beam juggling you are, the faster rez would be available, and it isnt just “free” as it feels rn.
For 60 hps, I’d let them remove it without a compensating ability.
I simply do not agree with the statements of rez being this “ultra impact” ability that deserves a stupidly long cooldown.
The simple fact is that it is unhealthy for the game as an ability as we can never see it in a light without being op or pathetic.
I could go on for days about the changes I could test for Mercy. But for 60 hps, I’d let them have rez. It’s not like it’s fun to be screamed at to rez someone in the enemy’s spawn and die immediately after and be called homophobic slurs for dying.
If I had to replace it with something to please these fake Mercy mains, it’d be a burst heal. Something small like 100 health over 2 seconds or something. I’m intentionally not putting much thought into it because I’d rather just have 60 hps, but a burst heal would make her competitive as a main healer.
definitely a more impactful but shorter duration valkyrie, valkyrie doesnt even feel like an ultimate.
but if they don’t want valk to be stronger or impactful, she should just have mass rez (no, not the 2017 version) with valkyrie as an E ability
