Then why didn’t Blizzard try to fix it???
Hide n rez was an SR exploit that could have been killed off by:
- fixing the SR system (already done)
- Adding restrictions on mass rez to make hide n rez impossible
They only did step one.
A LoS restriction would have made it so Mercy can’t rez from a hiding spot.
A cast time would have made it so that flying in 1v6 would have been a suicide mission that wouldn’t even succeed… just kill or stun Mercy as she casts in order to prevent the rez from going through.
But they did neither of these things. They threw the baby out with the bathwater.
BTW, did they ever consider that the old Mercy’s lack of E ability forced her to over-rely on mass rez to pick up the slack? It was like, the only ability Mercy had that she could use on her own initiative.
Yeah, Mercy needed a rework. She needed an E ability, and she needed the GA bounce added. She may have even benefited from more tweaks than that.
She didn’t need Mass Rez removed.
