As others have said, die on point meant “If you’re going to die, try to die on or near the objective so you don’t end up out of range or unable to get on point before time runs out”.
Okay, so elaborate on what the hidden correct and fun usage is then?
This is absolutely the truth. No matter how many players tell you that it wasn’t a “thing,” or wasn’t the popular way to use her ult, it definitely was very often used in that manner. “EVERYONE! DIE ON POINT!” was spoken to frequently in games it became nauseating.
I hope they never bring back Mass Resurrection. It promoted a very boring playstyle for everyone.
Still better designed than valk
I’m talking about when the rework was newer. Even some of these suggest reverts.
You don’t like Mass Rez and think it had problems?
Yes. It did.
But they were fixable problems. Mercy 1.0 was:
1: extremely ult dependent
2: had no proactive counterplay for rez
3: had an ult that pressured Mercy to be the last woman standing, which is counterintuitive on a main healer
Again, all these issues were fixable.
1: Add a midfight E to Mercy’s kit. If the devs are serious about wanting to “de-epmphasise rez”, them Mercy needs more to do than just stay alive, juggle beams, and plan for the next rez
2: Add a cast time and LoS limitation to rez. Kill or cast Mercy as she casts rez to stop it (and make Mercy lose all her ult charge).
3: add an AoE burst heal effect at the end of the cast; healing living allies at the same time as rezzing dead ones. This pushes rez to be a midfight ult - Mercy wouldn’t have to wait for her teammates to die in order to save them.
r u dum? When Mercy players said “Die on point” it meant. “I have Res, so if you have to die, make sure it is on point, together, so I don’t miss anyone.”
You were yelled at because you went off on your own, dying in the enemy back lines, so when the rest of the team ended up dying together, (refer above to what “die on point” means) you were missed in the Res, keeping the fight at a 5v6 disadvantage. You were yelled at for being dumb with positioning. Not because you didn’t give Mercy POG.
I feel like there’s a common misconception with the term “die on point”.
Many who used it, including myself, said it more as a “don’t run off on your own. If you have to die, die together where you’re supposed to be”.
I don’t think anyone called it out with the intention of “lol kys I want PotG”.
Nah, what people are doing is trying to use it like Trans and save it for those last minute clutch heals.
Then when it can’t do what it obviously wasn’t intended for, that’s when they come on here to complain that it’s boring and unimpactful.
But you’re right about the base of the problem, it all stems from the fact that people insist on misusing the ult then complaining it doesn’t work or isn’t fun when they do so.
I would say that Mercy is Number 4. McCree, then Widow, then Moira (relatively controversial), THEN Mercy.
I always said, “Stay on point, I’ve got Rez”, and only when I was currently walking back from spawn, so my team knew I’d have a backup plan should they die before I’d get back to them. Only potato teams need instructions on how to play.
Ah yes, FLYING AROUND THE MAP WEAVING THROUGH TEAMMATES is a very boring ult indeed. My handy supercharger is so much damn fun that I literally can’t do anything with it other than mockingly plant it on dead Mercy corpses. And don’t get me started on Nano Boost it’s so fun watching the OTHER person do all the damn work while I sit there.
lol
Ofc it did. How successful it was depended on a lot of different things, but there was enough success to warrant guides, discussions, etc. The tactic was gaining popularity.
The only one I saw that wasn’t revert mercy was making valk op solo healing with instant res
Wait, didn’t you make at least one thread about “the Mercy spam” and how it needed to stop?
Because while taking the opposite position to those threads I’m pretty sure this would by many be considered a part of it.
Want less Mercy spam? Don’t make Mercy topics.
You are really butt hurt about Mercy aren’t you. Every single day it’s a new comment or a new thread about Mercy sheesh get over yourself.
You’re ignorant or don’t have an opinion.
did I do good
Yes because being a flying healing chandelier is very fun to play. 
even if you get your whole ult off and use it effectively enough you are still a floating healing chandelier what’s fun about that?
Can I ask you something? Is there anything else you can do except dying when 3 of team are dead? Even if mass rez wasn’t a thing, trying to survive means staggering yourself.
In a normal game people try not to stagger so they kill themselves in order to respawn with their team. What Mercy used to do with mass rez was respawning her team on point.
So you think it is more effective to stay within 15 meters of the team and have a much greater risk for zero additional reward?
I would spam “Group Up” over and over and over again never once said die on point. Die on point is a voice com term that’s been somehow blown out of proportion to what it actually meant.
