I love playing healer, but due to Mercy’s Ultimate feeling so lackluster, I don’t enjoy playing her anymore. There’s no moment in which I get to have a big impact, or any time that I feel like I accomplished something special. I’m very glad that she’s not a must pick anymore, but she doesn’t feel like the hero she used to. I hope that the Overwatch team one day revisits her, whether that be a few tweaks (something in line with the current Sombra changes) or an entirely new rework. I love her playstyle, but with how Valkyrie works, it’s just… not fun to play her anymore. :c Some brainstorm ideas, if anything is up for consideration:
- Shorten Valkyrie, but heighten its effects in some way
- Replace Resurrect as an ability with something that Mercy can use to aid her team
- Replace Valkyrie with something that can have a big impact, similar to how other Support Ultimates function
- Consider a hybrid Ultimate, or some other way to combine Valkyrie and Resurrect in such a way that you can choose between one or the other (Valkyrie should still be looked at in this case imo)
- Rework the ability of Resurrect so that it feels better to use and can be used to assist a team mid fight
Sorry for the long post, I just get rather passionate about this. I’ll stop before I go on too long. What does everyone else think?
