Mercy Flash heal needs its own button binding instead reload

General Discussion

I picked the Flash Heal perk and didn’t understand why the Resurrect button wasn’t working. After deleting the control override, I realized Flash Heal was mapped to the reload key. That’s why it didn’t activate when I tried pressing Resurrect.

The problem is, I’ve been using the reload button to swap weapons because switching to the staff automatically reloads the pistol, timing it correctly is a skill expression. An option to rebind this would let players customize controls to fit their playstyle.

I see now that it’s on reload

That’s fantastic news! It makes it usuable on a controller

I mean it’s still faster to manually reload her glock.

I also don’t select Flash heal because of its key binding.

I want it to be the same button as resurrection. If someone is dead, I rez. If someone is alive, I burst heal them.

I hate dealing with additional buttons.
Until then, I will always pick the double blue beam.

See I LOVED that flash heal had its own key since my Rez is also angelic descent. They changed it in less than a day to be the same button and now I’m accidentally using flash heal all the time.

What they need to do is make it so we can bind it on our own.

This.

Mercy’s tether dying is one of the most panic moments you can have, and the last thing you need is to be fumbling around for which button rezzes vs heals.

Blizz tied these two abilities together so why do they have different buttons?!

PS: I think both of Mercy’s perks are very weak compared to what Ana and Moira get.

On console I’ve actually had it bind to resurrect a few times rather than reload. When that happens there’s no third ability icon either. I actually assumed that it being bound to reload was a bug, as it says it uses res in the description.

A setting to choose the binding would make sense, for any hero that has a perk tied to an action too.

To be fair, like every hero has weak perks compared to Ana. As for moira, her minor is decent, major ones are not very good imo.

It should override Resurrect key.

I’ve seen people activating both skills at the same time since they are two different keys.

I wish The Devs would have just had the Flash heal go off if you hold M1+M2 down at the same time while your beam is connected. My M1 beam is already on the person I want to Flash heal, or I’m GAing to them.
