How to fix Mercy's hot keys ps4?

Hi guys! So for those of you that don’t know, Mercy’s rez button is the same as her “angelic decent”/glide button on ps4 (L2) and that is, to say the least, problematic. Many a time, especially lately, have i been floating or trying to fly away, but a teammate died near me just a second before i hit the flight button mid glide and since i was already holding the glide button it thought i wanted to rez my teammate who just died, thus putting me in the sticky situation where im stuck trying to rez and ofc getting killed as well and also respawning w.o my rez ability! It’s so annoying! (I don’t play comp anymore so it doesn’t exactly “cost me matches” but regardless it’s irritating)

When mercy 2.0 was originally changed i wanted to know how to fix this problem but there was no solution unless i wanted to take angelic decent out entirely, which obviously i did not because it’s an important part of mercy’s mobility.

I figured that maybe it would get patched later on and i could change it in the next patch or so. Nope. It’s been a very long time since mercy 2.0 has come about and well…nope. doesn’t even appear to be on blizz’s radar! I know that blizz does not care for us console players but i would think they would at the very least pay attention to how their beloved angel plays across platforms!

(Tldr?) Now since I’ve been thinking of playing comp again, which inevitably means that i will have to play her when no one wants to heal and will be fast to throw if i even think about ana, i figured i would ask to see if anyone knew how to fix these buttons so i can have rez separate from glide (without taking glide away completely) so i don’t have to be stuck trying to rez someone who died near me and end up dying too all because i was simply staying in the air as i should be. Or is it still just impossible and ps4 mercy players are just s.o.l in those situtions :confused:

That sounds really annoying! I hope someone can help you out D: I’m on PC so I’ve no idea!

Same problem here… I’m thinking about remove ress from L2 and assigne it to □

I have res set to the X button and have Jump mapped to L2 (since holding jump in the air triggers angelic descent).

Don’t forget d-pad as an option.
I rebinded switch weapon to L1 and Rez to right d-pad
Power beam is on left trigger and healing right trigger
Holding x to jump is also her glide and I find I don’t usually use it enough to justify putting somewhere else.

I didnt know jumping in the air could let u glide! Thats so helpful tbh now i can try and work around that now that i know! Thanks!

I already have jumping as l3 for lucio (boop is X) so it should be easy to relearn if i do that and swap rez to X.

And yes i do have some hot keys on my d-pad. I’m actually going to change my interact key to the dpad instead of L3 that i have rn cuz when i play sombra i keep destroying my translocator by accident cuz I’ll accidentally hit l3 when playing and dye in an eaisly escapable situation ://
