Valkyrie’s description in the game states that Mercy “Gains the ability to fly. Abilities are enhanced.” Why is it that every ability of hers is enhanced (GA, pistol, speed) EXCEPT for Resurrect? It completely goes against the ultimate description.
I honestly believe that instant res should be a thing in VALKYRIE ONLY considering it would be true to the ultimate description as well as it may also please many unhappy Mercy players because ever since the -75% speed & 1.75 second cast time was implemented in the game, many Mercy fans were upset at the fact that they have to turn into a statue to use her arguably most important ability.
It’s bad enough that Mercy is the only hero in the game that has an ability that DOESNT reset after death so I believe that this would be a fair exchange without being game breaking as it is STILL only 1 res and a good Mercy usually pulls it off successfully anyways, this is just to bring back the “fun & iconic” factor in Mercy’s kit which was that good ol’ instant res animation.
As someone who played instant rez valk, it was unhealthy. Valk allowed easy access to a dead team mate even in the middle of the enemy teM. And instant rez meant they couldnt do anything about someone rezing and then simply flying away with a constant self heal.
was it really though? Like I said, a good Mercy almost always pull off the Res so this wouldnt really be that big of a difference. If anything this change would only make Valkyrie feel more like an ultimate than spectating mode.
tbh, if the ultimate isnt gonna stick true to its description then I really want to call for another rework seeing as the current reworked version of Mercy just isn’t working. It’s not staying true to what it’s telling the player of what it can do, & it feels extremely lacking for an ultimate ability
While I’m not so sure about instant res in valk anymore (I used to want it too…) I’ve realised it’ll never be implemented because so many people would instantly hate it without thought. But I agree, her ult should enhance her res too, it’s an E ability now.
Maybe something like a shorter cast time and less movement debuff, as exchange for a slightly shorter valk or something.
There are possibilities to do that, but idk. I’d love to see something done, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
Unless it states abilities are enhanced with the exception of Resurrect, I’m going to assume it means all abilities and that includes resurrect. If theyre not gonna make the ultimate live up to its description then scrap the failed rework and come up with something better.
Transformation ultimates doesn’t buff the entire kit. Only a part.
Take Genji and Soldier as an example.
Other than gaining something, doesn’t their other abilities get buffed.
Well we could buff all heroes to be more “fun” to play, but this would be bad balancing, wouldn’t it? Especially if the hero already is balanced and viable.
