I really never understood the sense of urgency Blizzard had when they told us they were about to rework Mercy
She wasn’t that of a much needed pick back then, Zen, Lucio, Ana, even symmetra with shield generator, they all provided something.
The issue now is that you have 3 mains healers Ana, Moira, Baptiste: these 3 provide insane burst heal but dont have defensive ult
And you have Zen, Lucio, Brigitte, as off healers with utility (discord, speedboost, aoe healing and rally) but they got strong defensive ultimate.
Finally you have Mercy, who are in what they believe in a fine spot, when she’s not a main healer with only 50hp/s beam, no burst, but she’s not even an off healer neither.
Sorry she’s an off healer, but out of Zen, Lucio, she’s by far the worst pick. Valk never felt so much unfun and useless compared to a real sound barrier or trans, and her rez is somewhat makes her interesting in first point 2cp.
Other than that she’s a kit that is the least competitive compared to other healer.
So it’s either they revert the rework, they put the mass rez on ultimate like before and we get back a solid counterplay to grav, and they put valkyrie on a shorter cooldown and as an ability
OR they buff both her healing beam back to 60hp/s and they allow healing/dps beam at the same time during valkyrie.
Then maybe we’ll have a Mercy that is not a must pick and is competitive enough with the other healing cast
