Then just lower it, not completely remove it. Make her more able to be booped/knocked away
I donāt know about that:
Theyāve consistently moved away from Valk being used for resing.
On Oct 17th they made it so Valk no longer reduced the cooldown for res and no longer reset it providing just an additional charge.
On January 30th they got rid of instant res in Valk and the bonus res charge in valk
With the change to Mercyās healing it seems they are doing everything they can to keep Res on E.
She have been must pick since 1 year even in OWL.
Her resurrect needs to go already, Valkyrie is balanced and has tons of counter play.
Remove resurrect and give her another more interesting skill that will fix Mercy once for all, if your people keep suggesting thing like "Bring back old ress give ress this, put ress on XYZ "that will never fix Mercy and seems like Devs doesnāt know about it.

Which is ā¦ really stupid. They should just remove Rez entirely and make her stronger and more fun accordingly, or I guess give the people who keep screaming about revert their dang revert.
āB-b-b-but rez is Iconic and core!ā is the response youāll get. Itās not, Rez was never a core to her lore or character, it was simply an ult. I donāt care what Mercy mains tell you.
Know what struck me the most about Mercy when I first saw her? Flying in at high speed on her wings in an angel-like stance to rescue that person that was stuck under rubble. Give mercy more flight.

Fun is very opinionated and shouldnāt be a point when balancing a hero.
yāknow protecting your healer is standard in most games.
6-1+1=7? Hmmā¦
As for the thread, just give her mass Rez back (cast time, LoS checksā¦), maybe a new E ability and delete the abomination that is Valkyrie.

Res is iconic though. Itās just the way its interpreted into the game thatās weird. Lore wise, Mercy canāt Resurrect people. Instead, she is able to save someone from the brink of death using nano technology. This of course would be bit too complicating to implement so they went with the latter option. With this in mind, Resurrect is a core part of her identity.

It should when it can be done in a balanced way.
And also I think itās a pretty universal game design opinion that immobility is inherently ānot funā.
Thatās why people freak out so much against Mei.
To me, moving it to the ultimate is less about reducing the number of rezes and more about changing when they happen. Happening during a teamfight to swing the fight vs fixing a mistake during the poke phase of the fight which happens a lot now.
Thatās a good observation.
That said, I still think the frequency of Rez per game is important. And a mid-teamfight Rez might be even more valuable than a pre-teamfight rez.
But it might be fun for some people and not fun for others. Youād have too many unsatisfied players.
Mercy is already pretty mobile so Iām pretty sure her being able to only use Resurrect whilst in Valkyrie wonāt change the āfunnessā of her. In-fact, It has a higher chance of having the opposite effect and makes her less fun as it feels really good to be able to Resurrect often.
Really? Weird she got buffed thenā¦
No old rez was fun only for the mercy player

Rez will aways be only fun for the Mercy and her target, whatever for your teammates not rezzed and bad for the enemies. Old Rez at least was fun though, the current one is just OP and boring.
The way Iām imagining it, would be a single target rez, with 0.875sec cast time, only available during Valkyrie.
Leave rez aloneā¦leave valk aloneā¦nerf guardian angelā¦lets see how much of a must pick she is when she cant just fly around seemingly nonstopā¦
it doesnt always have to be about the healing or the rezā¦

Or just maybe revert her to when she wasnāt a must pick and balance her around, that way you might not need the 11th nerf.
nopeā¦that ability never belonged in this game to begin withā¦its where it belongsā¦gone
