The issue isnt her viability, as she was viable outside of when Ana was OP. The issue was that when she was played it was unhealthy.
Okay i just want someone to give me the reasons on why it was mass rez was unhealthy so far ive heard:
- It feeds enemy ults
- Hide and Rez
- She wasnāt viable
Whenever I suggest making her mechanically harder to play which makes playing her more challenging I never get greeted with nice comments ![:man_shrugging:](https://d74zh8edaijub.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/man_shrugging.png?v=5" ":man_shrugging:")
Got any links for that?
Itās kinda hard to find needles like that in the haystack.
Ohh god iāll look around my old posts most of them got 404ād
Could you describe it simply, without getting to fancy about formatting/wording?
Mainly I donāt want Mercy to have to aim, like how symmetraās beam was changed.
I want her beam to disconnect when she breaks los just like it breaks when thereās an object between her and the hero sheās healing/damage boosting after a set of time has passed.
That forces mercy players to keep track of the hero theyāre healing/boosting while having a small amount of time to scan around for possible threats or an ally needing heals rather than simply healing someone and doing a full 180 with no punishment what so ever.
Also this is more of a rework although I donāt see it as a must need but i think itās much better than mass-rez as i do enjoy Valk more and I believe itās a much better ability (i think they should limit the hights she can reach on certain maps)
Limit her healing, it has a charge the staff overheats as you heal and it needs to cool down
Remove rez entirely from her kit and add a new ability which is over healsā¦ basically it powers up your healing (iām not sure what number would be best but lets say 90 hp/s) the downside of it, it overheats your staff faster. (She can also have a voice line when ever it starts overheating hence the enemy team knows when she might be down on heals)
This new ability can add to her game decision on when it has to be used and can be a huge way to distinguish between a good Mercy and a bad one.
The rework Iām suggesting is just something I think is better than mass-rez and more fun for both parties but I donāt believe itās a mustā¦ the los thingy I actually would love seeing that added.
Well, itās definitely a change, but dunno if the devs would go along with a total redesign.
That said, I was thinking of one Rez change:
- Instant Rez
- Rezzed teammate is vulnerable from attack for 1.75sec during the glow animation
- Rezzed teammates can be healed, Zarya bubbles, etc
- If rezzed teammate dies within 3 seconds, they are put on their previous respawn timer.
Makes it so Rez is quick and fluid, but thereās still strong counterplay to a resurrect.
(As well as ways to counter that counterplay with teamwork).
Fair enough it was merely a suggestion not expecting much, tbh I donāt like rez at all as an ability or ultimateā¦ league of legends made a similar ability but they made it so limited and not a mass rez itās a single target rez but the thing is you have to use the ability on a hero before they dieā¦ thereās a time interval until the spell wares off. (The ability can be casted on the caster)
What this intially does that it creates a counter playā¦ you have two choices you either ignore the hero that has that ability used on for the time interval or you burst them down wasting some of your resources and theyāll get rezed.
The champion is named Zilean if youād like to read more about it.
āHide n Resā counters itself. ![:stuck_out_tongue:](https://d74zh8edaijub.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/stuck_out_tongue.png?v=5" ":stuck_out_tongue:")
