They do. I tested it. All 10 second + abilities reset upon death. Baptistes field resets upon death. do you see him drop it to stop ults, die and have it reset to immediately drop it down again on 2cp maps? I personally do not.

Youâre really grasping at straws to try and defend your point.
Thereâs not even anything to argue here: Resurrect is a dangerous ability to use when you use it in an obvious pattern. It wonât even benefit Mercy that much if resurrectâs cooldown resets upon death: but hereâs why it should.
Mercyâs cooldown will start if she dies or gets stunned while rezzing.
When sheâs back alive, she will have a 20 seconds cooldown still on an ability she didnât even use before dying.
Resurrect has the most restricted usage in the game and even the cooldown is heavily restricted: even starting without the benefits of the ability
Itâs not even an ultimate or ultimate-worthy. Sheâs bringing back someone after standing still, not healing for 2 seconds but even then it might not work.
Would it be so unfair that resurrectâs cooldown could possibly reset upon death like every other ability in this game? I donât think so.
EDIT: This feature even forces me to switch off Mercy & pick her again in spawn after dying if my ultimate isnât too charged, just to get it back. That shouldnât be necessary.
Ah coldown, my favorite character in Overwatch.
Edit: Aw you changed it

No. The longer cooldowns like TP and immortality field get a reset too. Only rez and Sym turrets donât get that.
Hahaha duuude. I just saw it before your post. Your timing is amazing.

Doomfistâs shields and Lucioâs shields also donât provide ultimate charge.
Itâs almost as if temporary shielding was not providing ult charge to enemies consistently.
I know right? Iâm also very impressed with that discovery.
Sym turrets also donât reset on death and they should.

Itâs not the only one, thereâs actually no ability that resets on death.
Baptisteâs immortality field doesnât âresetâ either because itâs cooldown is longer than the death timer.
No ability resets on death, itâs just that 99% of the abilities have a cooldown of 10 seconds or less
Yeah dude , letâs say bullshlt
It has been tested. Every ability that has a longer cooldown than the respawn timer gets a reset upon death except rez and symmetraâs turrets.
You can try yourself.

because that means she could rez a person every letâs say 15s (time it takes her to respawn + time to get to corpse that is close by etc.) instead of 30s. i think baptisteâs field shouldnât reset either but thatâs less severe imo.
Cooldowns donât reset when dying. They are still there, just respawning timer is enough to reset most hero cooldowns.
I donât need to, saw Rascall yesterday on Baptiste during HAngzhou Spark vs SF Shock dying just after using IF and coming back with it on cooldown.
You can watch that if you want, or of course show the testing if youâre that certain.
That is kinda weird. I play Baptiste a lot myself and I respawn with no cooldown every time. Even if I died right after using IF.
I wouldnât complain on the forums if I wasnât certain. I would ask instead. But it has been already tested and confirmed by other players here.
Either you donât remember correctly (which I donât think is the case tbh) or thatâs actually a bug and IF shouldnât reset either (which would make sense since rez and IF are the most comparable abilities refering to this topic).

No cooldowns reset when dying, they are simply short enough to have them upon respawning.
There is more that enough counter play for res currently, with the new knockback mechnics a lucio or phara jus has to look in the mercyâs general direction and she goes flying accross the screen, res fails and you have to wait 30 sec before you can use an ability again. Iâm sorry but res has become why to clunky.
The reason for this is because of point B defences on 2CP, and point C defences on payload and hybrid maps.
Team fights were often over very quickly and your resurrect wouldnât be up and ready by the next engagement. So Mercys would walk off the map, or walk into their spawn, switch hero and then switch back to reset their resurrect cooldown.
It was extremely broken.
Is it not more like that no any cooldown get reset but that Mercy rezz is just longer than respawn time??
If they even think about Buffing Rez they got a bunch of crying children up their front calling âMERCY IS OP I CANâT KILL ANYTHING BECAUSE OF ITâ
Mercy isnât allowed to be on par with other healers⊠she has to be terrible in comparison because she was top meta for a while

Symm doesnât have cd reset

Considering that only way to make her meta was to make her brokenly OP in the first place, question remains until today: why attempt to make hero meta, if no one wants it to happen, not even players playing that hero?
Yikes. Where is that Mercy cause I havenât seen her in a few seasons.
