A weaker Mercy with an impactful ultimate is what we want. All those limitations like having no E ability made her unique and also incredibly strategic at master/grandmaster.
So essentially, you’re ignoring parts of Mercy while calling her boring? Then no wonder you don’t find her fun.
Mercy was bad in masters/GM for the first like 3-4 months of overwatch.
Where did I say she was boring? Please point that out.
All I said was that it’s sad that the positive things I hear mentioned again and again from this rework were from bugs that occurred.
The difference between a good Mercy and a bad one is still huge, otherwise you wouldnt have these awesome GM Mercy mains who zip around with mobility that makes even Lucio blush and 900 iq rezzes that happen when you give them the tiniest of windows.

It actually wasn’t that impactful. The fact that she had no invulnerability meant she would often die if she tried to Rez anymore than 2 people.
Thats objectivelly wrong. Mass Ress wasn’t “a press Q to win” as people have PTSD feverdreams about. It punished wasting ults, and it required thinking because if you ressed your team, they would all be out of position, primed to be killed again, and if you used it wrong and ended up dying, now your team is getting staggered, because they will respawn with -1 healer. It had the same chance of being valuable or wiffing as any other ult, and required thought to use AS ANY OTHER ULT.

Her effectiveness sloped downward at higher ranks like always. However, if you mastered her she was still an amazing tool!
That doesn’t change the fact that they are part of the rework. You can’t just ignore them because of their origins. They are a pet of her now, regardless of where they came from.
She still works like that.
Still unintentional, that’s never going to change.
And still waiting on you to point out where I said she was boring, and that I don’t find her fun.
Mhm. Except now with drama and frustration and people finding her lifeless to play.
It’s still a part of her.
Sorry. I assumed you thought that because people who don’t like bunny hop and super jump seem to not learn them in the first place.
Pressing Q in the middle of a crowd with low chances of dying before pressing it isn’t high skill ceiling.
I was using her for a bit during that time period and 4 man rez was like the norm.

Factually, Mercy can move while rez’ing. The player piloting Mercy can choose to have her remain motionless during rez, but I wouldnt recommend it in most circumstances
In general, the more powerful an ability is, the more limitations that must be placed upon it to balance it
I consider rez to be the single most powerful standard ability in the game, and as such, it is fitting imo that it be severely limited, including but not limited to the lengthy cooldown
I don’t find her lifeless to play. If anything, I find her more interactive and engaging.
I’m with you, but I just said “screw it” and started playing other heroes. I hate playing Mercy these days, I’ll only really pick her to pocket hitscans or Pharah.

Fair enough. I believe you it’s just hard for me to see it that way.
Factually, Mercy is not required to stand still when rez’ing.
The player piloting Mercy can indeed choose to have her stand still, but I would not recommend this under most in-game circumstances
It’s hard for me to see old Mercy that fun too so I guess we’re even.
