I want Mercy to have a “savior ult” that requires as much careful thought and strategy as mass rez did, and is worthy of the line Heroes Never Die. Valkyrie is none of these things.
I want her to have an E ability that’s strategic too, and can be used often in battle to make an impact based on the Mercy’s player’s skill instead of being 100% teammate reliant. Rez on E is none of these things.
Mercy 1.0 was the “high risk, high reward” hero for strategists. Even if we can’t bring mass rez, at least bring back the playstyle elements that made her fun.
