Was duct taping a couple redesign ideas I had together, and came up with this:
Mercy
Valkyrie
- Pistol as left click.
- Chain healing beam as right click.
- Main beam of chain heals does heals and 30% damage boost.
- Getting a kill with pistol gives 1 charge of instant single Rez.
.
I like it somewhat but is it any kill? Even trash damage? Or final blows?
Maybe rework it to have a meter filled by heals/dmg and dmg boost that gets a charge
Final blows, and really really close to final blows. I.e. Genji dash reset style.
Is this just a QoL change? I just ask because It’s pretty easy to swap between pistol and beams with the scroll on your mouse, and healing while damage boosting can be really powerful as its basically an off brand Nano (50% damage boost vs 30%, damage mitigation vs healing through damage, except one is on one person and the other is on multiple)
though I feel like this may also still not fix what a lot of Mercys gripe over which is Valk having chain beams.
It’s a really good idea though !!! Im just voicing some concerns on the concept
It’s mostly that it allows her to do a bunch of things all at the same time.
Fly, GA, Heal, Rez, Pistol, Damage Boost.
Almost all at the same time.
Kinda deals with the “Valkyrie is boring” issue.
The pistol thing I’d imagine is to make the swap from staff to pistol go much faster to allow her to go straight from beaming to battle Mercying for a rez charge or to take out a sniper.
