Mercy will be reverted on Septembre 19th to celebrate the 1st birthday of Overwatch's biggest failure

[DrClan-1789]

I wasn’t sold on a return of mass rez until I read your thread, great work.

[BadWidowEU-2419]

Imagine if this really happens…

I can already picture the forums being clean of Mercy threads…

[APPLEBOMB-1611]

I read that as “Mercy will be deleted”.

[JellyandJam-1179]

Feel the same, only problem is blizz won’t take those ideas to heart😭

[Titanium-1686]

I can’t take all the credit for that. 40+ other Mercy players worked on it too.

And the two winning basic and ultimate ability ideas were Brawl’s.

[ThisLoser-11645]

Lol I’m in a sarcastic mood👌

Though I agree with you, a second rework sounds better to me😉

Can this one instead have Res not on the hero info page?

[JellyandJam-1179]

Then cheers to them as well👌

[JellyandJam-1179]

Lol don’t ask me, I have no clue😂
(Good to see you)

[Badarm-2748]

And then we get the opposite type of Mercy complaints. (As well as the un-measured number of people that prefer 2.0).

A third rework using the best of both, as it were would be ideal.

I can dream. As much as people love Res I seem to be part of the minority that wants it 100% gone.

[Nandalee-2753]

Wishing over here as well.

If anyone is wondering, here is Titanium’s rework suggestion:

@Titanium-1686

Valkyrie:

• Removed.

Resurrect:

• Removed as a basic ability and placed as Mercy’s ultimate ability.
• 15 meter range.
• Line of sight requirement. Does not apply to destructibles, payloads, or non-fundamental map obstacles that are too small to actually obscure a player. In other words, none of that BS where a player can move behind a lamp post to evade a nuclear explosion.
• 1 second cast time. Basic movement is unrestricted while casting, but all attacks and abilities are disabled for Mercy during this time.
• If Mercy is stunned or killed while casting, Resurrect does not activate and Mercy loses all ultimate charge.
• All living allies within range and LoS of Mercy once the cast time ends receive a burst heal of 150 HP. Mercy also receives this burst heal.
• All dead allies within range and LoS of Mercy once the cast time ends are revived at full health and receive 2.25 seconds of invulnerability (same as current Resurrect and Resurrect pre-rework).
• Mercy does not receive invulnerability upon Resurrect’s activation.
• Resurrect does not require dead allies to be activated.
• 1625 ultimate charge requirement (the same as Mercy 1.x’s Resurrect).

Most importantly, this takes Resurrect off one of Mercy’s basic abilities and places it into a position that matches its ultimate-like behavior. On top of this, various trade-offs were made to the ability to allow for the healing burst and the introduction of a second basic ability.

The healing burst, post-rez vulnerability, cast time, and LoS requirements all incentivise using Resurrect to revive 0-3 players rather than 4+ players. Attempting to use it on four or more players runs a greater risk a failed resurrect attempt due to the cast time. If Mercy manages to use Resurrect, there is a greater chance that she missed some allies due to the LoS requirement. If those two drawbacks do not drag her team down enough, there is also the fact that Mercy is vulnerable post-rez while her teammates are still reviving.

The healing burst and fire-at-will mechanics on Resurrect make the ability more flexible and open up some unique uses for it. For example, Mercy could use Resurrect to grant her team a burst of healing in the middle of the teamfight to keep their momentum going rather than waiting for an ally to rejoin the fight after being killed and revived.

New Basic Ability - Pacify:

• After a .5 second wind-up, Mercy launches a single hitscan attack from her left hand.
• The projectile’s hitbox size resembles that of Symmetra’s secondary fire.
• The projectile deals no damage upon impact with an enemy. Instead, it applies a debuff that reduces the damage dealt by the target by 33%. The debuff lasts for 4 seconds.
• The projectile does not persist once it hits an enemy. It is only able to affect one enemy for each use.
• The projectile is blocked by barriers, Defense Matrix, and Particle Barriers. It can be deflected by Genji’s Deflect ability.
• 10 second cooldown. The cooldown begins after the ability is cast.
• There is a .25 second wind-down time after Pacify is launched.
• During the wind-up and wind-down times, Mercy is not able to use her staff, her pistol, or Resurrect. She may use Guardian Angel, however.
• Does not affect non-player entities and constructs (turrets, Rip-Tire, Supercharger, etc).

My birthday is on the 18.
So don’t disappoint me Blizz

[BadWidowEU-2419]

Blizzard better not disappoint… >:-(

[Okanyilmaz-1108]

This actually made me laugh because im afraid it might be actually true.

[BadWidowEU-2419]

Afraid? I think you made a typo there.

[Otamega-2461]

I think you meant “until rez is an ability”

[BadWidowEU-2419]

Nope. Read it again. Resurrect should be an ultimate.

This thread isn’t doing anyone any good. Please keep things constructive.

Locking this one up.

Thanks!
