it wasn’t broken at all. Mercy had to hide, hope to God she wasn’t found and killed during the ult. Your team had to 5v6. It made fights more fun, more engaging and more calculated. You couldn’t just drop all of your ults in OT if they had a mercy with rez up. It was HYPE when your mercy pulled it off and you had a chance to win again.
I miss rez and long engaging fights so much. Im so over this esport mentality of faster faster faster.
