If they were to make these exact changes to her, sheâll be a must pick support in every game, something she already is anyway. 30 to 40% instant health AND 10 to 20% reduced damage taken for 3 seconds? maybe a speed boost on top of it for 3 seconds, cause instant heal on top of her left click clearly isnât enough yet.
Seriously, how is that balanced? and of course, mass rez. What a surprise.
DONâT use any of the old versions of mass rez. Instead:
AoE rez in 12 meters (same as Lucioâs new aura)
.8 second cast time (for reference, the stun duration on Mcreeâs flashbang is .7 seconds). If Mercy gets stunned or killed during the cast, rez doesnât go through and Mercy loses all of her ult charge.
Line of Sight required. No casting through walls or around corners.
No invulnerability. Rez instead releases a 250hp burst heal to all still-living allies (and Mercy) after she finishes casting rez. This shifts rez to be a midfight ult, like Trance or Sound Barrier. Mercy would still need at least one corpse to use rez.
If Mercy uses this version of rez too late in the fight (e.g. hide n rez), sheâs more likely to die during casting than actually get off a successful rez. The burst heal makes it much more profitable to stay with the team instead of slinking away before you use your ult.
And you then go on to describe exactly what her old mass res was like when she was considered trash. She used to have a cast time and no invuln and was considered trash. You then want to throw more nerfs on top of what was considered trashâŚ
I guess we refuse to learn from history around here and prefer to repeat itâŚ
I got an idea for new E ability if rez got moved back to Q
Healing at 60% of primary fire (left click)
Damage boosting at 60% of secondary fire (right click)
Adjustable number though
Maybe on cooldown if the number is too good
Maybe no cooldown, like Zenâs orb
Maybe faster GA cd during ability
Maybe mini-valk
Just maybe.
I find it hilarious how Blizzard pins these topics and lets them stay up but doesnât even do anything with Mercy besides just nerf her again. It doesnât matter how many times you nerf her, sheâll still be a must pick because of rez and her healing. Obviously having rez as an E ability isnât working out since I believe sheâs been nerfed 9 times already?
