Mercy 3.0 NOT MASS RES

General Discussion
1

So I would like to preface this with two things.

One, I have over 250 hours on Mercy and I am GM with her, decaying because I rarely play comp on this account.

Two. this has nothing to do with mass res. It is gone and I see no way of it coming back.

Let’s get started.

Caduceus Staff:

-Healing up to 55

-Damage boost stays the same

Creator Comment: Her healing should be upped a tiny amount, but nothing big. I think 55HPS will be a perfect blend. Her damage boost is preforming perfectly fine as is.

Caduceus Blaster Has Received No Changes

Guardian Angel Has Received No Changes

New Ability: Cleanse

-Removes Freeze, Venom Mine, Discord, Sleep, and Anti.

-Also heals 50 HP over 3 seconds

-10 second cooldown

Creator Comment: This ability is very unique since it removes all and any status effect, while also being a single target healing over time. This will make Mercy a more valuable pick against certain heroes ,while also making sense due to her occupation as a doctor.

New Ultimate: Resurrect

-Mercy instantly resurrects one ally

-Cost of res is 2100 healing

-Res instantly resets Guardian Angels Cooldown

-Ult voiceline is “Heroes Never Die”

Creator Comments: As much as I like the idea of Mercy being able to prevent death, this would lead to issues of putting this on someone and telling them to just go in because they can’t die. It is like if Reaper could Wraith and still shoot you.

ALTERNATIVELY

Ultimate Rework: Valkyrie

-Chain beams no longer exist

-Healing increased to 80 per second

-Damage Boost increased to 35%

-Speed increased by 33%

-Cleanse on a 8 second cooldown and does 75 Healing over 3 seconds

-Ult voiceline replaced with - YouTube

Creator Comments: With the removal of res all together in this ultimate, I have decided to make Valk feel really good to make up for it. With the removal of res so much more is possible for her kit.

LAST, BUT NOT LEAST

New Ultimate: Holy Light

-Mercy places a 10 meter circular aura of light

-Does 60 healing per second

-Makes team 25% faster

-Applies cleanse status effect removal to all inside

-Ultimate voiceline

English: May the light protect you

German: Möge das Licht dich beschützen

Creator Comments: This ult is supposed to make her team push to wherever Mercy places her light. This ultimate will be incredibly strong on control points and even stronger with a Lucio.

I like the last ultimate a lot. Blizz isn’t going to listen but I think this is the best one yet. She shouldn’t have valk because although it’s a little fun flying around, people will complain that she can’t be hit. Her rez needs to just be removed so then she can be balanceable. The last ult is the best case scenario because it give the same style of group heals as valk but it also applies her cleanse ability which is very useful when in a team fight. It won’t make her a must pick, but it will make her a strong healer, which she should be.

Mixing this with a Lucio is super strong also

That will make everyone really fast. I also forgot to mention that this will also make mercy very strong in control point but not on maps like escort or hybrid while attacking. This is how every hero should be so other healers like Ana have a chance to play in games as well.

Mercy should never lose her “heroes never die” voiceline.

Please stop saying this. This is not how ultimate charge works. Mercy gets charge from damage and damage amp as well.

I really think Valk just needs some changes to make it not as much of a spectator cam, and her healing needs to be increased to 55.
For Rez, I think it should stay an ability, but instead of being on a 30 sec CD, it should have a resource meter that Mercy needs to fill by healing (say, 1000 health for 1 Rez or something). It discourages hide-and-seek, makes Mercy still have to choose carefully who to Rez and when, and absolutely REQUIRES her to do her job well, since it doesn’t passively charge like an ult.

I mean 40hps? Seems pretty weak :confused:

Like a weak trans

11

I was thinking…maybe 60, but I don’t want it to be too strong for all that is offers.
Mercy can still heal while it is activated.

12

I’ll pass as a GM Mercy main I’d rather see an entire rework that gives Mercy a projectile E ability and a reworked Resurrect ultimate that makes it viable on dead AND living allies. That would be the only Mercy 3.0 I’ll stand for.

Buuuut they do die…

14

Seems more like a nerf tbh. She is fine the way she is.

15

Taking res off E is a huge nerf no matter what. Having it on E makes her kit have to fall apart due to it.

16

YES! I absolutely love the idea of Cleanse! I so want this!

I also like all of the ult ideas you have. If I had to order them from favorite to least favorite it’d be:

  1. Holy Light
  2. Valkyrie
  3. Resurrect

But they’re all great and Blizzard needs to hire you.

Thank you for the feedback!

18

Unless she absolutely has to earn it?

19

Yeah. You could bind it to the interact key.

Allowing her to have an E, Shift, Ult, Passive, and a interact.

Might be overloaded though

Why not just make it her E? If she has to earn it, it’s pretty balanced, but you don’t want to convolute her kit
