Mercy will still be a must pick as long as rez is a common ability

May the truth be said just give her back her old ultimate but put in some effort to use it rather than pressing Q like the same cast time we have now without invencibility this way she’ll be forced to midfight rez instead of hide so we can have a more balanced game and actually play other supports. I’m sick of needing a Mercy on my team because the enemy team has one and turn every fight in a 7x6

Dumb idea. There was nothing wrong with old Mercy except you could exploit the SR system which was removed the same time her rework went out.

Bud i don’t want free team rez everyfight. I’m a damn plat we have no reflexes nor aim to kill her right before she presses Q and i remember it was so damn annoying when you got like 5 kills and she magically survived and rezzed everyone completly negating your work. If you want her back you need to give up something.

Can’t they just give ger 160 hp or something so she at least has a hardwired weakness like the other supports? >_<

None of the supports have less than 200HP

Make it max 3 man rez. Less impact but encourages tempo res. Bring up her ultimate charge requirement. That’s a fair trade for bunny hop and mini valk on E for mercy with mass rez

No, but they all have hardwired weaknesses.
Zen has no mobility and weak healing.
Ana has no mobility and her healing can be blocked.
Lucio has weak healing and no utility.
Moira has to keep her healing juice up and deals low damage
Brigitte has no range

But Mercy has no hardwired weakness.
The only thing that comes close to a weakness is that she’s somewhat bad at duelling, but she never has to.

Her weakness is she can only heal one person at a time, if her rework removed that then I don’t care. I don’t like the rework anyway.

You are all mistaken. Rez isnt the reason mercy is a must pick. She is a must pick because she is good at everything. Her tool kit allows to be the best support in the game. Take away rez and she will still be picked, she has high mobility, consistent healing, a good side arm. None of the other healers has all 3 of this. Rez isnt the issue.

Yes but rez only makes it worse.

I play alot of Mercy

I want Rez as an Ult.
2 man rez max, no invulnerability during casting.

Yeah i just miss certain comps with Lúcio on them.

Rez as an ability is garbage.

I liked working for it

Hide and rez could be done regardless of SR boosting. If it can be done, it cant be in the game.

Mass rez isnt coming back

I disagree.

Mercy will remain a must pick so long as the meta favors easy, low-risk resurrections. (Sniper meta)

As soon as the game returns to a meta that involves more brawling or death ball, the risks associated with rez will increase and the reward will decrease.

I think rez gets blamed to much. She isnt rezzing 20 people a match I think the average is like 6. Shes has the most consistent healing with the best support mobility. She can damage boost and has an ult that makes her near invincible while healing/boosting the entire team with rez for added incentive. Tie all this into one of the most basic to grasp kits the game has and you have a recipe for a must pick.

Then you know what you get to do?

You get to learn how to counter her. You develop the reflexes to kill her as she flies in, and continue to advance.

Excuse me? i’m trying to make a suggestion to improve the game not only to Mercy mains but for the rest of the community. My friend can’t even play other support cause we always need a Mercy on our team cause she pretty much enables every hero.

I still want to see further iteration since no one likes the mess we’re in but the pro scene is beginning to experiment with Merciless comps. Mercy is still everywhere but the key thing is that nonstandard comps are forcing their opponents to mirror or run bizarre comps of their own, often without Mercy. Next patch is gonna be interesting.
