Mercy requires bounds more skill in her current state than she ever did in her mass rez state. Valkyrie is not a spectator mode. Stop calling it that.
She was literally a joke back in 1.0 for being completely brainless.

Stop talking through ignorance and take you time to actually read this thread that’s very well detailed and explains why most of us are asking for Mercy changes. Or you could ignore this thread and keep spreading misinformation just like every other anti-Mercy players
I’ve read this thread before. I’m not talking through ignorance. And I’m not spreading misinformation. What you are doing with this is campaigning for a hero that is in a balanced state. The mind state of the Mercy player base is that she will always be underpowered until she gets mass rez back. That’s not happening. It’s ridiculous that you try and accuse me of ignorance when there are people that do enjoy valkyrie, and those that do not- are the ones who simply refuse to adapt and learn this iteration of mercy.

I respectfully disagree with your premise here
I agree that a large number of players want Mercy to be changed, but I do not believe that all Mercy players who want the character changed want the same changes. For example, I have seen some state that they want mass rez returned. Others want rez in any/all forms removed entirely. THese positions are muktually exclusive.
Further, I do not believe that data is available to ascertain with any degree of certainty that a majority feels this way. I see a large number of players who want her changed. I also see a large number of players who do not want her changed. As such, in my opinion, I dont think either side can claim to be a majority
I wont use the term “we” here, but I can say from reading many other posts on these forums and form my own experience, many of us (myself included) do not find Valkyrie to be something we’d describe as spectator mode or everything done for you.
Many of us, myself included, differ in our experience with rez, and do no find it sluggish or unfun. I myself find pulling off a midfight rez to be one of the most rewarding things I do as Mercy, not just for having fun, but in terms of impact on a teamfight, often leading to a greater likelihood of a win
I agree that lots of feedback has been given
With apologies, I do not agree that it has been ignored; and add that there is feedback to be considered from all players, not just Mercy players; as all players are affected by changes to any character, whether said player plays that character or not
I have seen a great deal of attention given to the character by the devs, including but not limited to changes
I have also seen multiple devs talk about the character and her popularity in the fanbase. They do in my opinion seem to be listening and aware; but since Mercy is their intellectual property, they ultimately decide what is best for the character, even if what they decide does not coincide with what some players want
In my opinion, and the option of many others I know and/or whose comments herein I have read, Mercy is engaging and fun in her current state
I will say that after the recent Torb rework, I no longer enjoy playing Torb; and as a result I have moved on to playing other characters who I enjoy playing more. I am not saying you should do this as well, just sayin’

Honey if you have read the thread like you said you did, you would have noticed that we are aksing for Mercy to be FUN by keeping her BALANCED. What you are saying it’s just stupid and makes no sense, Valkyrie when released was OP af, But at least it was fun because the fast rezzes and the fast GA but again it was OP and annoying. And no, Mercy players don’t refuse to adapt because the majority already did, AGAIN we are asking for a more skilled Mercy while being fun which Valkyrie and E-rez are not. And if you really have read Titanium’s thread you should know why Mass rez was more skilled but apparently you did not ![:slight_smile:](https://d74zh8edaijub.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=6" ":slight_smile:")

Gonna keep it short: Mass rez was not more skilled.

honestly if it was more skilled it honestly wasn’t by much mass rez was a very easy ult to get off compared to other support ults but honestly valk isn’t exactly a skill shot ult to say the very least but honestly this argument is going nowhere fast
Sure honey it’s easier to say it and not to give details on why it wasn’t more skilled. Also again if you were infromed on all about you would know Why it required more skill but you lied and refuse to admit it

The reasons given for “more skill” were completely subjective, sweetie.
Mass rez was a set it and forget it ult. Instantaneous with invulnerability. It was near impossible to mess up unless you had zero game sense. Hide and rez was a viable strategy, even if it was frowned upon. It was a very safe ult to get off and have an effect on the game. To be honest, I love mass rez and miss it, but I don’t want it back.
Valkyrie, despite some people calling it spectator mode, usually requires you to swap between targets if your team isn’t playing together (and they frequently aren’t.) You have to debate between going for a rez, healing, damaging boosting, or using your pistol. You have to be engaged through the ultimate to get the most out of it, unless your team wins/loses the fight within seconds of you popping ult (which could mean you popped your ult at the wrong time.) Valkyrie is still a pretty safe ult, but it’s possible to die while using it and far easier to use it at the wrong time then it was to use mass rez.
Both mass rez and Valk require the same skill sets: game sense. It’s just the Valk requires more because it lasts longer and has more options how to use it.
