The mediocrity of this rework shown fully… but its not all bad I would say that the idea of giving Mercy a way to remain involved is good, but removing the Resurrection Ultimate wasn’t a great way to do it…
Winged Victory Mercy is confirmed to get a new Valkyrie voiceline. Instead of “Heroes never Die!”
They will record the “Onwards to Victory!” again.

“Felt like it needed a little bit more oomph to feel consistent with other ultimate voice lines. It should come back in the future.”

Some tweaks yeah but no invul would not be the way to go. Reason being it was pretty worthless without it - people complained quite a lot about it being a bad ult as it was too easy to stop. The thing is it didn’t need a nerf, it needed a buff. Against, well anyone who killed the Mercy before the team wipe or against people who killed the Mercy as she flew in it was too easy to counter - she was called a Troll pick at higher ranks. And I saw plenty of people even in silver and gold who stopped it easily, let alone plat and above.
What I’d change I dunno tho. Maybe leave the ult as it was. What I’d really like is the ability to fly in a straight line for a fair distance on a very long cooldown separate to the need a team mate to dash to power. Reason being it would be awesome to get back into the fight and be able to use her mass rez. Tho admittedly if you’re killed before the team wipe your team will have rezed naturally before you ever get there. Still would love to have.
I think a flight ability such as that would have been great! The counterplay is only there to make others feel less oppressed by it. Thou it would be about encouraging Tempo Rezzing.
I don’t wanna write another nice necromancy message…
