Valkyrie is more healthy and fun than Mass Rez in my opinion. I’m not gonna bash people who disagree with me, but I played mercy earlier and I found mercy pretty fun tbh, but she didn’t feel impactful. I think if they made her 20% faster then she will be more fun than flying in and pressing the Q key. People saying reaper had to hide before ulting is hypocritical I think reaper didnt press Q and everyone around him instantly died. It does a lot of damage but doesn’t instantly kill them like mass rez instantly resurrected people.
Disclaimer: don’t attack each other and fight please.
I dont like valk at all, but mass res wasnt any better. Then again, trans isnt very fun to use either. Its pretty underpowered, so what i was thinking of is increase the ult cost and make it heal and dmg boost at the same time. Bring it back to 50hps and +30% dmg chained for the whole team is individually weaker heals than zen and weaker dmg boost than supercharger (apparently not allowed to call it that drum word), but it would allow the ult to be more impactful. Maybe even is she could use the blaster at the same time, like hold the staff with one hand and the pistol with the other. Might be a bit op but it could be toned down a bit while still making her ult “fun” again
The blaster really has no place in the kit other than trying not to get staggered, this woukd include it a bit more
Understandable. I just think Valkyrie should be faster so I feel more involved when playing mercy. Add the healing change you suggested and it might be perfect
From a numerical point of view, Mercy is pretty close to balanced, maybe a little UP. I don’t absolutely hate Valk rn, but it is a little
Boring. I think if the main beam was stronger and the chains less so, it’s be more engaging. The ult takes away her healing niche:single target and makes it bland because of it.
think about it, you are countering 5 ultimates with one ult. You can use resurrect then ult stack the enemies. In my opinion, it might make GOATS stronger. as she can keep resetting the fight over and over
EMP can counter 6 ults by not letting you use them. Not to mention EMP is unblockable with an extremely short cast time. There are also numerous ults it will shut down even if they are casted before EMP.
Mercy was never picked to heal more than 2 tanks and she never will be. Triple tank started because of Ana. Quad tank started because of moira, GOATS started because of Brigitte. That’s like saying buffing roadhog will make dive stronger.
Heh… Temporarily denying people the ability to use their ults isnt exactly countering them. Just postponing. Just like “kill Mercy first 4head!” That isnt a counter. It’s a delay.
Theres a reason Sombra is statistically so poorly represented. Hack/EMP with no team coordination or follow up is… Not good.
Basically how it went. You smash on the enemy Zarya or whatever, the one that could mess with your rez, and you do so with sheer reckless force. Then all die in a pile. No ults expended. Mercy then mass rezzes, and you have your ults available to deal with any answer they have (ie: Zen trans) and your own offensive ults to take care of them.
It was a joke.
Or their Tracer erases you as Mercy and you all get killed anyways.
I tolerate Valkyrie but its still a chore to use. It’s much better now than it was a few months ago. I still would love if they would do away with Valkyrie completely but im not holding my breath for it.
What people think Valk should be: Game saving ultimate, massive impact, OP GG.
What Valk actually is: A way to maintain or to initiate an advantage in a team fight.
I think you’re right TBH. Not every Ult in the game should be match changing, there’s plenty that aren’t, look at Orisa, Moira, Winston, Symmetra etc. There’s nothing wrong with Valk giving the team an advantage over an ‘insta win button’.
