Mercy needs a buff

General Discussion
1

Mercy is the 2nd most played support hero because her kit is very easy to use and good mercys can be very impactful. I never said she must get a huge buff, the only thing that needs to be buffed is her rez casting time, it must be shorted or deleted because this ability is useless in team fights. Even if U learned this advanced super jump-rez technique, the revive isn’t guaranteed. I know she’s a strong healer and resurrect is one of the most powerful abilities in the whole game, but making rez a normal ability was the biggest mistake blizzard could ever do because it’s nearly impossible to balance it as a normal ability…

And/or her healing must increase to 60 hp/sec again
thanks for reading!

it needs to be difficult and punishable to pull off res, youre literally bringing someone back to life so it needs to be a challenge

yeah, but this challenge is too big at the moment, in a team fight, it’s nearly impossible to revive somebody without ding while or after rez…

as in like when the enemy team are on top of the body? should you be able to res there?

you need to risk something to cover your partner’s mistake, res is okay and mercy is the 2nd best supp in the game

why you need to risk something to give your team a +1 player advantage there are some other ‘abilities’ which do that too but for no risk…

Is the cast time currently almost two seconds? They should tone it down to at least 1 second instead. Or buff it to rez at least two people via line of sight and increase the range slightly from whatever it is right now. Not by much, but enough that I do not need to stand right on a persons face icon.

It’s 1.75sec but in this time U glow like a yellow beacon…

Man, that long feels like an eternity in a game that punishes you for standing still.

An easy to use hero that can have a lot of impact seems like a very poor buff candidate.

If she needed a buff, she couldn’t have that impact.

yeah, and if U use the superjump-rez it not more difficult to kill you, i spend 2 hours of my live to learn a perfect jump rez, because i thought that U’re nearly invincible…

Super Jump Rez…? 20 characters.

Roadhog… is still a nearly overpowered hero(One-Shot Hook) and still get buffed…

Roadhog was very poor statistically when he got that buff.

Just theoretically having powerful abilities is not an indication that a hero is good. You have to be able to translate it into winning games. Roadhog couldn’t do that.

Yeah just look on Yt this is a technique that allows U to jump while reviving…

I could understand the cast time if it was an ult similar to Mcree having to charge up his headshot for multiple characters. This feels like a drag to use and I never really feel like I am making a difference when I pull a rez off. Either I die to do it, which leaves my team (who foolishly did not bring a second support with us) to be without healing, or I rez the person, and they die instantly because they decide to try to face tank a bastion instead of backing off, thus making a 30 second cool down wasted, and adds another 30 seconds to the pile.

17

sure he could do this, he has a winning rate of 50% this isn’t the highest but it’s only 0.3% less than mercys(hog winning rate BEFORE the buff).

Since it’s not fun to use anymore, I almost wish they would remove rez like you said. replace it with a very small AOE burst heal that heals up to 3 players near mercy for 50 hp. 20 second cool down. it would have less range than Lucio’s amp it up, but would be insta heal for up to 3 players.

It would reward mercy for being right in the middle of her team, instead of the hide and rez myth. (Myth because I never did it myself, and I did not know many who did)

It can still be a large opeining, but making it slightly faster wouldn’t break the fabric of the universe.

Nearly 2 seconds of a cast is way too long, and I’ve always said this. It’s longer than Hanzo’s ult cast, which is 1.3 seconds long. Having a cast time somewhere between this, let’s say 1.45 for brainstorming sake, wouldn’t be too much to ask for. It still leaves plenty of time to kill, stun or silence the Mercy attempting the rez while making it better for her to use.

hanzos dragon doesnt bring back someone from the dead, good mercys still get risky resses off and it needs to be a skill to get the right timing on ressing otherwise you just make her easier for no reason which is always bad
