"Hide and rez wasn't a thing"

Good zarya never grav when zen is alive so she send flankers kill him first so she can ult, Mercy DON’T know when the enemy use his ult so she hide in the start of the big battle, zarya flankers will not find mercy anywhere which forced zarya to use her ult at the end which mercy revived them after.

And you kind of just proved my point too. If your issue is “Hide n Rez” then you should adamantly request changes to Mercy now, because you are actively encourage to move behind walls and use resurrect now.

Yeah cause a 0secs mass rez that brings 5 people alive is the same as a 2sec solo res that leaves u not able to heal and vulnerable am i rite

No it’s actually more powerful. Mercy just had a 6 month meta where she had a 100% pickrate with the version you described, whereas before when she could revive allies from over 30 meters away in beta she was outclassed by Lucio and Zenyatta.

You know whats even more messed up? People here conveniently forgetting that you can ult RIGHT AFTER Mercy ults, which you can get another teamwipe.

I cant tell you how many times I got a triple kill because I just Riptired into a ressurected team.

Lets see… the meta was double sniper right? Not only mercy had a higher healing output, she also had to res the widow in case she lost the duel vs the enemy widow. ThatsI the meta you’re describing

Sigh, Moth Meta September 2017-January 2018 where she had the same Rez that she does now.

As i said, she had a higher healing output that was also consistent (through barriers) she was better than ana and moira. I don’t thinkshe was picked because of her res, cause nade and sleep are arguably better butbut ana still wasnt picked as much

The amount of times people told me to hide and rez with mercy is astounding. It was a thing for me maybe not for you but for it was to real for me.

I hated mercy 1.0, much prefer here the way she is.

Hmm… Does that include “Hide and Team Wipe” as well? :thinking:

Also… I would argue that tempo rezzes were in fact a lot more effective than hiding and rezzing, you held a bit more mid fight potential, and less time not being engaged in the fight. And let’s be honest as well here on that topic. Mercy still needs to hide to rez, and a lot of other heroes still need to hide in order to ult.

The “hide and res” argument should have never been a point of reference when giving her the the rework in the first place, but that’s just me. :blush:

Die early on Anubis/Hanamura on defence, Respawn, team dies, fly in for mass rez.

That happened a lot.

Fair enough. I freakin hate 20 characters

It really isn’t.

Numerical value is not everything. Besides, hiding sets your team up for failure.

Here’s the opposite of a TL;DR:

Thing is tho, rezzing 1 teammate was sometimes the right call, proper usage of Ult Rez was situational and required actual thinking. Hide and Rez against any team with half a brain usually just resulted in another team wipe. For the vast majority of the time, it was the worst thing to do and the effectiveness of tempo rez’s was greatly highlighted and exaggerated with the initial release of Mercy 2.X.

Additionally, people aren’t really saying that “hide and mass rez wasn’t a thing.” This kind of play-style was usually forced on the Mercy player by their teammates under the illusion that it actually worked when in the vast majority of cases, it didn’t.

You know what would fix mercy?

A rework…

Say goodbye to rez as it doesn’t fit as a ult as it’s too unfun to play against and it’s not fitting as a ability as it’s still unfun to play against but it’s also unfun to play with.

Valkyrie was a mistake even though I love it but a ultimate that kinda just improves existing gameplay is obscelete and boring. It’s meant to be a playmaker not a mmmmm this is cool I remove all my weaknesses but I can’t really out heal or outdamage anyone sooo.

Even mercy couldn’t rez the entire team 100% of the time, if you wanted to pull of team rez then it requires your entire team to die at the same time or else they respawn after the timer goes off.

Usually mercy could rez 3 people max but in the most part it was tempo rez

you’re forgetting 1 thing, mercy could fly out of grav back when she had mass rez.

That’s not hiding to res, that’s throwing

I DID play comp and I never saw it happen. Ever. I wonder if the people doing it were on different servers.
