Im not really sure why this is still a thing but I feel like it needs to be addressed. Mercy rez should get cancelled if you lose los of the soul. Really doesnt make sense that you rez someone through a roof

Mercy rez is so inconsistent, sometimes it is super forgiving and lets you rez out of LoS, but other times you lose it for moving 0.00000001 inches too far from the soul

Yes, let’s take one of the worst abilities in the game and make it literally unusable.

Rez is one of the best non damaging ability in the game if you know how to use it.

Oh yes. Let’s make the least skill intensive support have even less techs to learn.
Her rez is already almost useless in most circumstances against a competent team. The fact that there’s so many techs to utilize rez is the only thing saving it

and they made sj harder to do unless you look up or your close and ga then crouch

Yeah that tech is a lot trickier now. I like the new sj system and all but it did complicate a few of Mercy’s old tools

Bronze take
It just isnt tho.
Also techs in question

Her rez is almost usless in certain instants but whatever a non mercy player says
I’ve said this elsewhere but when someone dies, it’s usually because they were out of position. Forcing Mercy to take that bad position, for 2 seconds, without the use of cover means she’d be a lot more dependent on her team to get rezs or flat out couldn’t rez unless there isn’t a fight going on or the enemy is afk.
She’s a glowing, slow-moving rock, screaming ‘come kill me’ noises whenever she’s rezzing. You’d need to get rid of one of those things before we pile on another downside.

And how is this inconsistent exactly?
You have 5m radius to start resurrection animation and 7m radius that you cannot leave during it. Leve it by just a fraction of a cm, and it will get cancelled. Always…
And you need the LoS to start the animation. Apart of few weird situations, she has to slowly walk back behind the corner… You cannot ‘just rez out of LoS’. You sound like you try to make it look like you can just start it behind a wall. That is simply not true.

No.
She’s stuck, barely moving, in an animation that goes on for 2 whole seconds.
You can make the effort to position yourself in line of sight in order to shoot at a near-stationary target.

I dont see a good reason to add any more limitations or restrictions to rez - it is well restricted as it is

why do people give mercy players so much hate? They say that she doesn’t take skill but she does. Like try playing her in whatever rank you are now in comp and see how she works. Most of mercy is pocketing and positioning but that takes skill doesn’t it? We aren’t always flying high in the sky getting sniped at and when that does happen then everyone only thinks about that one mistake and uses it against everyone.
That is disingenuous. Show the actual gameplay, not staged res on skirmish. Since Mercy would take a while to even get to that position to res that, and she would not play from there… And while she would try to pull that off, her team would be 3v5 for several seconds.
Yep. That tech is perfectly fine. The amount of times when a Mercy can do something like that is surprisingly small. As mentioned before, most of the time when someone dies, it’s because they’re out of position and trying to rez them normally is 100% suicidal. Knowing how and when to use rez is one of the biggest differentials between a meh pocket mercy and an actual good mercy. Making rez cancel on LoS breaking would, under most situations, basically mean Mercy no longer has an E ability at all.

Like we try our best but don’t only see the mistakes. Most of the time you’re the one that dies first and “gets no healing”. You’re out of position and getting hooked by a hog or sniped across the map.
Hey, I did say “one of”.
At least when Reaper teleports he doesn’t think “will anybody else actually die while I’m stuck in the cast time”.
