It’s insane how long the timer for her to rez is. It either needs to not bring people back at full health, have a like 5 second window max, or she should have a longer cooldown.
Rez is just so demoralizing and makes it all the more difficult to turn the tide if you’re getting stomped and finally manage to get a key pick that isn’t Mercy herself.
Decrease the amount of charge needed for her ult and just give her mass revive+ Valkyrie
Or don’t adjust the charge.
Rez is crap hun.
There is a good reason out of 20 possible rezzes per 10 mins, Mercy performs 4.
Rez is the single most restricted ability in the game.
Failing to counter rez in 2024 is a big skill issue, similar to still struggling against Sombra with her current trash rework.
Do better.
Just keep shooting at her and she’ll be too scared to go for the rez. Keep pinging her to your teammates.
If you allow an ability that takes 1.7 seconds to go through, it’s not on the mercy.
Her rezzes are pretty darn telegraphed and you can keep poking at her so she’s not full health. Being full health is the only way to be 60% gusranteed to get a rez off.
It’s 30 seconds. If you let the enemy mercy get away with more than the avarage 4 rezzes per 10, then that’s on you and your team.
She gets a 75% movement slow, needs to be within 5 meters to start a rez and stay within 7 or it cancels (5m is reinhardt’s hammer reach), cooldown is 30 seconds regardless of if the rez succeeds or not, she has no immortality or damage resistance during the cast unless a teammate helps her.
All tanks have cc abilities to deny rez with. Half the dps roster have soft cc to cancel the rez with (and most can kill a 225 target easily under 2 seconds).
When you kill one, immediately focus another player. Because while mercy is rezzing, their team only has one source of healing. If the first pick was the other support, they have no healing what so ever.
The problem is usually the lack of teamwork needed for focus fire. And if everyone is shooting the tank instead of the enemy squishies.
Besides. If rez gets nerfed, what do you think gets buffed?
The dmg boost? Her ga speed and cooldown? Her hps? If her rez cooldown gets bumped up to 45 seconds, she’ll probably get instant cast or immortality back.
This is why I think the window to rez should be capped at like 5 or 6 seconds max. I’d rather that than any other changes. It’s such a forgiving amount of time that you’re having to sit there and guard a body.
Mercy and Rez really doesn’t need nerfed further. It’d be more reasonable to ask for another rework and potentially deleting Rez entirely.

Mercy is trash right now; overall
I’m not going to argue for straight up nerfs to mercy -
But I’ve never bought into the “mercy is trash!” Either.
As always take public stats with a grain of salt: but she’s got a decent pick rate and win rate at nearly every rank. She suffers in GM on PC specifically - but at pretty much every other rank she does decent. And that’s just on PC - she’s actually a top contender at pretty much every rank on console, including GM.
I’d say “overall” she’s pretty good. Shes literally only bad for a single group that reflects like 2-3 players out of 100 on the ranked ladder, on a single platform out of multiple.
Mercy, for what she is, is the epitome of fine
Yeah, she is just as good as all the top500 specialists from OW1 are now in Diamond
or playing Juno
i think mercy rez has enough downside not to mention mercy herself is kind of weak that it’s not all that big a deal.
30s cool down, but she requires support to pull off a rez unless it so happens to be in a safe area to do so… she’s also immobile and not helping her team while going for it… the cost of being punished by this can be brutal. You could kill her and prevent the rez, or allow her to get the rez knowing you can re-stagger the rez and kill her.
The amount of rezes per game I can usually pull off if I do choose to play mercy is almost always less than 5… almost always the rez you do secure is a rez that really isn’t even all that helpful it’s like picking up the 1 ally that died in a team fight you already won - or maybe rezing your one backline team mate that died before a team fight is even taking place. The HUGE trade of for rez is you have a mercy on your team… there’s like 2 or 3 hero’s she can punch a break point with IF she happens to be damage boosting them in those crucial moments but I swear I can spend 85% of a game damage boosting then at the end of a game I’ll see I boosted a whopping 240 dmg or something.
Mercy is so bad. She’s great at being easy to play, she’s great at staying alive. She FEELs good to rez with but I find it soooo rare I ever have that 1 ashe team mate that would actually pop off cuz she has a pocket. Rez is fine imo. Extremely long cool down, maybe 1 in 10 of the couple rezes she might get in a match is even an important rez it’s more of a timer saver from walking back from spawn if anything.
I think the only time I ever play mercy is if we are on defence and I know the walk back from spawn is brutal so having a rez is nice and it’s usually safe because we are on defence, or if I have an ashe that can’t secure a kill on a pharah or something and they beg for a mercy. Usually have bad results with that anyway.
this is the worst outcome possible for a character in a pvp game. hey, this hero you enjoy playing, the better you get at her, you become more and more dentrimental to your team for even picking her. 
???
I mean she has like… 8 seconds after an ally dies to start the Rez at best? It seems after the 8 second mark you tend to get the successful Rez killfeed thing but the Rezzed ally is in spawn, not on field where they died sidestepping half the point of Rez.
With Wave Respawn that can go down, a late death that’s still in the last death’s wave time period gives Mercy ~4 seconds to go for a Rez, again giving berth to try to not trigger the Rez in Spawn bug.
I’d really rather they get rid of Rez then jump through yet more hoops to justify it as an E tbh. It’s bad for Mercy and no one else seems to like dealing with it, big shock there, best to call it a failure and move on.
But it makes the most sense to make it the same amount of time it takes for a player to respawn.
It’s more “Hey this easy to pick up hero is literally good where 98% of the players exist on one platform, and where 100% of players exist on all other platforms”
That is hardly a red flag for a “trash” hero.
Rez timer is a necessary mechanic I can agree with as a mercymain. In lower games, the mercy wouldn’t really look at the battlefield and just rez the tank into a 2v5 only to be re-deleted again, both feeding and increasing toxicity with that tank.
In higher tier, putting a player back on the field early/mid fight can be the difference in the outcome. The only thing she really needs back to be competitive is her GA.
When did mercy lose guardian angel? I missed that patch.
Her GA was 1.5sec? From 2016 release until OW2 Season4
Mercy isnt strong right now but you want to make her worse? Just camp the bodies becaues mercy isnt invulnerable during rez so you can kill her or just interrupt the cast so it goes on cd.
It still is 1.5 seconds (or more specifically, it’s been back to 1.5 seconds since spring of 2023)
i get this. i just dont agree that her being “easy to pick up” has to mean shes terrible in high rank. i mean, even junkrat, is recieving nerfs because people can actually make him work in t500. despite his history of being a character plats hate and call easy.
