Mercy’s current time to Rez is 1.75 seconds
It should be reduced to 1.5 across the board (whether in ult or not)
Or whilst valking it should take 1.3 seconds
Or Maybe because valk gives her more mobility how about
1.3 seconds outside of valk only

she already can control her movement in valk while rezzing. that should be enough

Maybe outside of valk then?

Wouldn’t really change much, but it would be appreciated buff.

Stop asking for buffs to supports. It’s unrealistic. Ask for nerfs that are not severe instead

Zen got buffed like 5 mins ago m8
It was a revert of a nerf that trashed him. About 6 months late.

No it wasn’t, his nerf was a 15% decrease to rate of fire
Recently however
They buffed his rate of fire by 6% 8.5 to 9 and buffed his CHARGE time by 15%

When is valk gonna stop disconnecting Mercys beam? When am i gonna be able to use my gun more often? p l i s

I would prefer that mercys could fly a little bit in place while normal rezzing (similar to valk rezzing)
otherwise that quarter of a second buff would probably result in A LOT more successful rezzes by mercy players in games. like way too many. after a kill good enemies know that they have to reposition themselves to be able to hit a mercy rezzing that corpse around a corner. 1.5sec cuts that time way to close. but a mercy with some movement adds some survivability and a skill check to rez

I think it id pretty obvious that Valk is a lazy ult. It just doubles Mercy range on most of her abilities and stuff, so why not make that apply to Resurrect as well?
My suggestions, if we were to buff Rez only, would be:
MERCY
Resurrect
- cast time decreased to 1.5-1.6s
Valkyrie
- now doubles the maximum Resurrect range
- Mercy still has to start the cast from a 5m radius
If 1.5s are not enough for people to kill/stun/boop pretty much stationary, defenseless Mercy, that’s not her problem.
At least outside of Valk.

Good ideas both of you
I agree that valk already gives her a lot of surviveability so maybe she just needs a little help outside of valk
something with range, it is so easy to cancel res on accident especially in valk

that’s not the issue. everyone playing overwatch knows how to play around corners. when you kill an enemy there is almost always cover next to their corpse for a mercy to rez from. enemies know mercy is going to go for a rez but they only have so much time to reposition themselves to get an angle on the rezzing mercy.
you are right 1.5 seconds is plenty of time to shoot a stupid mercy. just not a mercy who thinks

Down with Valkyrie! Mass Rez forever!

But I am certain if the corpse is near a corner anyway those 0.25s will not make a gigantic difference.
Also, making Resurrect more consistent without removing counterplay or adding multiple charges will probably not result in a Mercy meta or whetever anyway.
It would just make her able to use the part of her kit in which most of her power lies in, a bit more accessible in more dire situations.
Cuz currently you can basically never use Res in high ranks unless you already won the fight or are about to start a fight or have Valk and a corner available for you to hide behind.
Res is very situational, which is sad since it already has the longest cooldown in the game and so many restrictions that its effective downtime is way higher than its actual cooldown.

tell that to my junkrat mine
hence why I agree it could use something. just not a shorter duration. I think mercy being able to have some floaty valk movement while rezing outside of valk could work since she is no longer a stationary target
you must also remember enemies have reload animations and firing rates. and projectile heroes and abilities with travel time exist. we both know how often rez is cancelled or clutched in the very last moment of cast. 0.25 seconds is very much a big deal
But why would that be such a big issue tho?
It would make her better overall and thatcs what people see as an issue. They only accept buffs that pretty much have 0 effect on her current state in the game.
A more forgiving single cast time rez will not result in her being the best healer, just her being a bit better overall. So why is that so bad? Because it is unfun and dishartening not to deny a rez with 0 effort?

Mercy is already super slippery during valk because if you don’t finish her during the animation, getting er while she’s in the sky is near impossible. Rez is the only window for mercy to be punished during valk

Whatever people in this thread say - fact is, that Mercy needs help for her ult - whatever help it would be, cause for now, it´s one of the worst ults in support.
