I think she is fun and viable. Valkyrie, though uncreative, is a pretty flexible ult you can be surprisingly lethal with the unlimited ammo and mobility. ![:slight_smile:](https://d74zh8edaijub.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=6" ":slight_smile:")
As for Rez, old Rez was a REALLY ANNOYING, UNFUN, ABILITY. The current version is at least thrilling to pull off in risky situations and not annoying to play against.

So um theres been a issue ever since Valkyrie rework. And that is Rez is not mappable. Now i now people are gonna say that im wrong but i have yet to see the proof that it is mappable.
And since its not mappable and is mapped with Angelic Descent. Well sometimes this can cause issues when you are trying to GA away from enemies or a fight or to team mates and you use AD for the extra speed or boost in distance.
You will be trying to move in a certain direction when suddenly you are stun locked into rezzing and that gives the enemy team a free kill. potentually losing the game becuase of a unintended action/bug.
Remember this has been in the game since valkyrie has been introduced and it still has not been addressed. And it has been the biggest bug with Mercy
There are plenty of other bugs with Mercy but this is the biggest.
Opinion: A watered down version of Valkyrie on cool down should move to her E ability - it should allow her to fly and chain heal/boost for 3-5 seconds on a cool down.
Get rid of her infinite ammo ability part of Valk - of all characters to have this ability included in an ult, a Support like her is a questionable choice - give that to Soldier 76 or something.
Resurrect as it is now should be removed entirely. If Res stays, I still think a multi res mechanic would be the most enjoyable to have in the game again (with caveats).
Her new ult should be something worthy of calling an ult.

They are for the other rework(light), delete valkyria and put the rez as ultimate(not necessarily the mass rez). But at least return to 60 hps that are essential to make it viable.
Sheās fine in her current state. But, it would be overall beneficial for her and the game if Resurrection was removed completely and replace with a different E move and maybe a buff to her base healing and Valk.
Iād like to see an E ability thatās a combination of cleanse and a HoT (Heal over Time) that can stack with Mercyās beam for a short burst heal effect, or be put on someone who keeps running away from their own healer.
The cleanse aspect would topple Anaās overbearing dominance and give the game a second counter to cc (the first being Zaryaās projected bubble). It would clear any cc thatās currently on the target, and provide cc resistance (-50% duration on cc timers) for the remainder of the ability. The heal over time (probably around 50hps) would give Mercy a backup heal outside of rez.
Iād call the ability āCureā.
I want Mercy removed from the game, actually I want every Support and Tank removed, DPSWatch is the best Overwatch.

Mercy is in a perfect state, does not need change at all.

Because mercy 1.0 was demoralising and unfair to play against and mercy 2.0 was somehow much worse and yet still plagued us for the most part of a year.
I and many others might not find that to be fun at all, though, since we enjoy (and even prefer) using Valkyrie and single rez

Sheās fine and boring.

Not really underpowered, just not as useful in tank heavy comps. Buff her now and she will be a monster when the meta changes again. Itās okay for her to be slightly behind right now; but she holds her own.
Despite everything sheās been through, sheās still viable.

I wonāt say everyone would like it, but donāt worry. Blizzard ignored the massive numbers of people who didnāt want Valk to go live in the first place and have kept it despite massive protest so youāre not in any danger of Mass Rez coming back. Moreās the pity. I wish theyād cared about what people who wouldnāt and didnāt find Valk fun wanted. Too late for that now tho

OW needs someone who can Res a teammateā¦our only problem is to find the best solutionā¦
God forbid you need to think about when you use your ultimateā¦? Iām sorry, but we really donāt need to lower her skill ceiling any further. And this is coming from someone who mains her.
I meanā¦ It already is. Using your pistol in Valk is actually a good idea in multiple scenarios. If they buff any aspect of her pistol, they need to put a limit on her ammo.
This is what I would like to see. Her ultimate wouldnāt have to be as watered down due to Rez (which is way too powerful as an ability imo). Valk has its own set of issues, though.
I think that Mercyās damage boost should also boost movement speed by 15%.
Unless itās Tracer/Genji who already have a permanent 10% passive buff to their movement speed, in which they only get a 5% boost.
It would give Mercy a serious choice between ādo I use damage boost or heal?ā, instead of the answer automataically being āhealā unless everyoneās already topped off. Damage boost has always felt like āthat thing you do to kill time until someone needs healingā, and I think it should be more flexible than that.
15% would make any hero just barely faster than Tracer/Genjiās walking speed. It would be useful for kiting/anti-kiting, getting allies to cover faster, or Mercyās own survival vs someone trying to chase her down. (Note: the speed bonus would only apply to walking speed, not any movement abiltiies).
Lucio would still be the king of speed boost, but his monopoly on the utility has made him a must-pick in organized settings for the gameās entire lifetime. He needs some competition.
Mercy would be a good choice, because thereād be a lower chance of teams just picking āLucio+Mercyā for max speed. They donāt synergize nearly as well as other healer teamups (e.g. Lucio+Moira or Mercy+Zenyatta), and their overall designs are best suited for completely different comps (Lucio for deathball, Mercy for dive) .
