Seriously, she has way too much time and mobility to be able to rez an ally. Without directly nerfing her rez I strongly recommend giving her less time to be able to rez an ally. Hell, if they cut the time that an ally can be rezzed in half I’d be fine with lowering the cast time on the ability some to have this change occur.

Make her slightly more susceptible to being booped if anything
I’m saying that instead of giving her the whole time which an ally would otherwise spawn back at the spawn point give her only half that amount of time depending on the amount of time it would take before they spawn back at the spawn(IE 10 sec, give her only 5 secs to be able to rez her ally).
I honestly think the cast time for tanks should be increased by another half. Melting a tank should be a W in most cases with the way 5v5 is intended to work, and being able to pick that tank back up at the same speed as some squishy DPS with much less impact is broken.

I agree that she gets too much leeway when people try to knock her out of her cast animation.
But if Mercy is ressing the tank, that means you don’t have a tank and you’re down a support while she’s ressing. Take advantage of that

Rezzing a tank is already far more risky and harder to pull off than other teammates because without a tank you don’t have an anchor nor any protection + the tank tends to be in the frontlines therefore dies in riskier spots. The risk and payoff is already balanced here
I’m for changing up rez properties:
Faster times but the Rez’d player is restored with less HP.
Buddy mercy is pretty much the worst support right now because of Sombra. Lifeweaver as long as he uses petals is safer now.
Unless they remove resurrect and replace it with an entirely different ability, I think it needs to stay where it’s at. It has the risks and drawbacks for using it.
Rez is fine slightly underpowered

resurrect & mercy as a whole in general are fine. please stop touching her lmao, she is in no need of nerfs or buffs. she has a 50% winrate and is not overperforming in anyway shape or form to warrant any sort of nerfs.
Winrate doesnt mean anything to balance on its own
If we balanced on win rate alone, Symettra would need about 700 nerfs

A window of opportunity is what you’re saying. Respawn timers are 10 seconds, allow a rez within 5 seconds basically.
Honestly, I’d just nerf the invincibility timer on the recipient. If they can move, they should be vulnerable.

just increase the time it takes her to rez someone because the problem is too many heroes can’t dps her in time to stop it even when its right in their face. Also, a lot of abilities like boop dont seem to interrupt it enough
We could make the radius shorter as well so illari lucio boops actually interrupt rez consistently.
Also, we could look at not allowing her to spin 1080 degrees while rezzing so she’s easier to headshot.
The height she’s able to rez from is sometimes too high when you can’t even see her doing it above doorways and walls (THROUGH WALLS)
I’ll even go as far to say if you implement these nerfs you can drop the rez cooldown by like 5 seconds because as long as she’s easily interrupted it’s fun to try to stop her and fun for her to rez more. so it becomes win win instead of this stupid OP tanking insta-rez
She is basically almost stationary when rezing. Besides rezing behind cover, she has no other way to defend herself while rezing.
Also seeing a spaz rez mercy mid fight is funny

right now, res:
reduces mercy’s speed by 75%
disables all of mercy’s kit and is uninterruptible by her for 1.75 seconds
requires LOS to begin casting within 5 meters, which admittedly increases to about 7 meters after cast, and no longer requires LOS.
the nerfs you’re suggesting would add onto this:
reducing that 5-7 meters to what, like 4-6 at the minimum.
and for some reason, lock mercy’s already limited movements to specifically left/right strafing at 75% speed. for nearly two seconds.
i’d suggest you go into a match and play with these restrictions in your mind. only res when you’re basically on top of a soul, and keep your camera perfectly still. that would be horrible.
i’d rather remove res than play with that.
it means shes not overperforming.
