Please don’t start this again. Everything about “Hide n Res” was bad and was only ever beneficial if you bring in the SR abuse.
Yes, and they exploited the system and ergo the ‘boosted Mercy main’ bs came along.
Which, the system they were abusing to rank higher was fixed at a later date.
Removing res from her ult wasn’t the solution.
Resurrect is an ultimate ability and can’t be balanced as an E.
It either needs to be back as her ultimate or removed/reworked into Valkyrie only (without being sluggish while casting) so that it actually feels like an ultimate.
Valkyrie by itself is boring and doesn’t feel like an impactful ultimate at all. If Res had charges you gained to use while in Valkyrie (say 2-3 max), then it’d be impactful and great again.

I wouldn’t worry about the replies. 
I have considered making Valk’s Rez AOE with LOS requirements and all the limitations of current Rez but with a smaller range than than Mass Rez. But everyone I’ve suggested it to has shot it down.
Blizzard shouldn’t change something entirely because some players did it. Otherwise, what’s stopping them from completely reworking Zen because some people only use their ult to counter ultimate comboes? It’s only an issue if it was encouraged by the design of her ultimate but we already know it’s false and that the true culprit was the SR system at the time; specifically, two issues regarding it that affected Mercy.

I agree that it can’t be a ability but I also believe it can’t be a ultimate either.
I do prefer a new rework that removes Rez and possibly Valkyrie as they were both removed in beta/alpha for a reason.
I’m gonna back down from you just because I’ve seen you discuss mercy and i know I’ve already lost.
Well played BadWidowEU-2419, well played -3-

Totally. Remove Res or put it back on Q.

I’ve been thinking how to fix Mercy in a way that will satisfy everyone, and honestly, I have no idea.
Rework would need to:
- Be unable to hide and res because it was apparently not fun to play against
- Still have res in her kit because it is apparently her iconic ability
- Make her entertaining to play, or at least keep her as fluid as 1.0 (no spectator mode like now)
- Make her ult feel impactful
- Make her not a must pick again
- Keep her original weaknesses intact to balance what she has to offer
- Keep her original playstyle
Those are like all the complains I found on the forum, from both Mercy and non-mercy players.
I’ve been thinking how to make it happen… and I have no idea.
I tried addressig every issue and I got something like this:
Ult: Ressurection
- 3 sec cast time in third person camera (Don’t scream yet)
- While casting, you and nearby allies have 75% dmg reduction and Mercy can float in the air
- Two beams connect to 2 nearby dead allies: yellow and lightblue. You can switch dead target by using primary and secondary fire (corresponding to color of the beam)
- When casting ends, your connected targets get ressed, and you get a buff where you can use both beams at the same time 50% stronger for 5 sec.
Her healing back to 60 and res on E and Valk removed.
She would still have res, would not be a walking spectator mode and at the same time, can’t hide and res and there’s 3 sec cast time to make it bearable and counterable. She also would keep her weaknesses intact.
When I posted the idea on the forum, everyone hated it. So unless someone else proves to be balance genius I don’t think Mercy can be in a spot where everyone is happy.
Agreed, I’m on the remove Rez altogether train.
“Choo choo”

I’m tired of seeing threads asking for multi-rez, or removing rez.
Since they are going to be completely ignored by the developers.
I really don’t understand why people can’t think of any other ideas, for a year straight.

they said they wouldn’t add dm but people kept asking for it and got it.
we got Valkyrie back so its not really far fetched to believe we could see a reworked mass rez and or reworked mercy return.

what do you got then
what’s your idea huh?
(I’m sorry that sounds super rude)
The main issue I have is that there’s barely any Mercy posts besides these two unlikely scenarios.
Because its honestly a simple change that doesnt require any massive changes that includes new abilities, new animations, new modeliing or VFX of a new ability. Just simple number tweaks and reprogramming here and there.
A lot of people would rather Mercy get a simple fix then to spend another 6 months to rework her that may or may not even work since we wont know what ability they might add if Rez gets removed.
Then comes other heroes who are in dire need of the attention of an actual rework like Bastion and Reaper whove been in the gutters for many seasons.

Here’s a good start:
🕊 [Mercy] A little buff, a lot of Fun
Well the posts I see about keeping or getting rid of rez are usually pretty creative so im pretty incline to read them as they might have some neat ideas I haven’t thought of already. 
people really don’t like valk or an op boring mercy.
we’ve had far more unlikely events already take place so.

They removed scatter arrow because it was a braindead ability that gave instakills with a long cooldown. How is this any different than Mercy’s rez? It too is a braindead ability that can instantly bring someone to life with a long cooldown. Double standards. U cant remove scatter arrow but have rez as an ability.
