DISCLAIMER
Just spit ballin here this is a thread for fun. Nothing to be taken seriously. I like coming up with ults for Mercy that I’m sure wouldn’t even be considered so please let’s just have fun.
What if we take Ressurect’s invulnerability buff that she applies to her team upon their revival and made that her new ultimate with a few adjustments?
- So the name of her new ult is called: Salavation (cheesy I know).
- It would recyle her rez animation and her “Heroes Never Die!” voiceline.
- It would apply an AOE damage and CC immunity and a cleanse effect to her team and herself for a three (3) second duration.
- Mobility would not be hindered by this application nor the ability to attack.
- It would have a 1.5s cast (with a possible slow give or take maybe 15%).
- The cast/slow allows for counter play so she can be interrupted (CC’d) resulting in the loss of her ult charge.
- There is LOS for Slavation with safeguards so signs, railings and smaller objects don’t interfere with LOS.
- Knock backs and knock ups do not interrupt the cast but can displace her away from LOS of her allies.
- It is a team wide cleanse so debuffs will be removed. Sleep, freeze, hack, anti-nade, etc. However, Grav is one ability Salvation cannot cleanse, meaning her team will be trapped in the Grav but they will be immune to attack for that three (3) second duration.
This would be a fun ult to negate D.va bombs for allies in the open who cant find cover or negate Sombra’s EMP, riptire, etc. With it lasting for a brief moment it wont be oppressive and it is an ult that requires perfect timing for the player. There is counter play for the enemy to stop her as she will have an animation that is easily telegraphed and a cast time.
It takes aspects of her former ultimate still allowing her to bait and switch. Giving her players that hero moment. Enemy teams wont be disheartened if she negates a kill as apposed to reseting a kill. She cant hide to use it since a dead teammate isn’t lucrative to its use, requiring her to remain in the fight. She can use it selfishly on herself but could leave her team open to danger (this is great counter play for her flankers to bait out the ult). She still has a bit of her ult economy checks in place so enemy teams will have to be mindful of spamming their ults to win fights.
She will still be situattional at best. And without ressurect all supports have a viable use. As for an E- ability… I am fresh out of ideas but feel free.
Tl;dr
This is just a thread to brainstorm silly Mercy ults that may or may not be useful options. Maybe the devs might stumble upon it and rethink her kit maybe not. That is not my goal here. I just want to have fun reading other Mercy ults you may have in mind. Be nice and have fun.
