i think reducing the time it takes to revive (1.75s → 1s) but also restricting camera movement during the ability (so u cant brainlessly flick ur mouse and be immune to headshots) would be a fair balance

Mercy’s head is still exposed during rez. Just don’t shoot her arm…

She can actually block headshots with her wing during Rez but it’s quite niche

Pretty much the only support that struggles with killing a Mercy that rezzes in the open is Moira.
Kiriko doesn’t need an offensive ability. She needs two Kunai.
Ana can sleep her and 3 tap her. or 2 shots and a nade.
Bap can headshot her as well.
Lucio can Boop and kill her fairly easy too.
Brig can Boop.
And Zen can easily burst her down.
Even a Mercy can easily kill an enemy Mercy.

She can though so this is just false. Not only can she move slowly, she can float down behind cover and spin around as OP said.
Before you start crying putting words in my mouth, I’m not saying it’s hard to kill Mercy. But she should require LOS at all times to rez.

Average bait.

Nah, her rez is balanced

Literally use any knock-back, stun, or hack (most of which are on incredibly low cooldowns) and she has her Rez interrupted and it goes on its massive 30 sec cooldown.
Rez is super weak compared to other support abilities because the restrictions on it are too much for being a 30 sec cooldown ability.

Nah. When you glow like a Christmas tree in front of 5 enemies and I live that’s me doing a good job. Not my fault 5 guns couldn’t kill the lighthouse.

Aaaand this is why it’s a good idea to ask the people who actually main the hero when it comes to identifying and solving hero design problems.
Rez’s extremely long cast time is THE main thing keeping it’s power suppressed right now. At a whopping 1.75 seconds, Rez is a suicide move if Mercy tries to use it out in the open.
A one-second cast time would make it possible for Mercy to perform mid-combat rezzes that would normally be too dangerous to even try with a 1.75 second cast time.
If you hate playing against Rez, then ask for it to be removed from Mercy’s base kit. Rez used to be Mercy’s ultimate ability, and it still has the power of an ult even after the devs reworked it into a wretched cooldown.
Rez doesn’t belong in Mercy’s base kit, it belongs on her ultimate - Mercy players should have to earn their rezzes!

How is she hard to kill? She’s standing still lol.

Typically, in my games, she is resurrecting the target I killed, which means I need to reload. And Mercy mains work unbelievably fast at these lower ranks. They will int into the team and go for an instant rez. I still kill her, but typically not before the actual revive goes off because I find it difficult to hit her head during rez unless they literally just stand there, but usually they use some spin to mix it up.
Not all the time, obviously. But I assume this is the scenario that the OP is complaining about.
Unless they’re resurrecting a tank while the other support is alive, that’s basically throwing and I’ll gladly take those 
I don’t like res in general, but I don’t think it’s overpowered. It’s just not fun to deal with.
I do not even mind resurrect at all. I just blame my team. If everyone was vaguely aware of the threat, she would only ever get off rez behind cover or with the assistance of her team. It is only through their sheer ineptitude that the kamikaze Mercy gets value.
I mean, partially skill issue. If I was able to hit those headshots while she spins more consistently, these wouldn’t slip through the cracks. But you can feel a lot of pressure in these games when you are the only one getting kills.

This is the only time that she’s not difficult to kill in a teamfight that she hasn’t already lost.

If you don’t want rezes going off. Do what the good DPS and tanks do. Guard the body. Or at least keep in mind where someone dies, so you can react fast enough. All dps can kill her fairly quicky even with her moving slightly. It really does come down to a skill dif.
As an avid Mercy player, in plat I managed to do the riskiest rezes to the point where my teammates are like “You’re a god, wtf howw??”. Now that I am in masters it is basically a throw to do that. You have to be a lot smarter and coordinate with your team more to safely rez.

That’s so niche.
And the issue isn’t Mercy, it’s the fact Kiriko’s bodyshots do no damage at all. Any other support can kill Mercy during rez, even Mercy herself, I’ve done it a few times.
You can still try to boop her with suzu. It might work.
