Mmm… the only public twitter communication I remember was a certain YouTuber getting called out for their less than savory comments about marginalized groups.
I’m not sure what sort of tweets you saw that leads you to believe any “leadership” of anti-Mercy groups were passed between any individuals but maybe I just happened to miss it. I’m sure that the tweets are archived if they existed.
Regardless, this thread has gotten severely off topic.
Since the one you’ve replied to doesn’t seem to get the hint, on my end, allow me to apologize for any derailments. I would much prefer that we go back on topic as well, since it seems that there are some who insist on continuing with derailing threads and slandering others, and the discussion is thus, going no where.
Back on topic!
I respect your opinion, but I don’t think it’s fair to say that people who want a revert are “pushing an agenda to polarize the community.” I believe that’s kind of a broad way to discriminate a group of people with those opinions. Just as you don’t think Mass Rez will come back, others are free to disagree, and maintain that hope. At the end of the day, we’re all entitled to our opinions, and we should also respect them, despite the differences.
This,
I think this is worth mentioning there. I believe many forget that back then, Mercy didn’t always have res, nor did she always res successfully. Now, Mercy has the ability to Rez every 30 seconds. That difference as well as the major increase in how many resses Mercy is able to pull off in a match, often goes unmentioned and ignored, so thank you.

If the time had been taken to make tweaks and take into account countering effect something like Deadeye had on Mass Rez, maybe we would have seen another variant before or instead of the shift to Valk.
The devs observed very serious behavior problems connected to the rez of multiple team members at the same time. I dont think any such changes as noted above would have altered said behavior in any way…as such, removing mass rez from the game was absolutely the right thing to do
I get in update seeing somebody used a post of mine to make a point and see “Oh hey great! It’s TrueNeural again. I’d love to see this conversation” only to find out that yet again we are having the conversation about how a forum poster absolutely refuses to stop using a term that at this point is KNOWN to be antagonistic and a common form of derailent.
Lovely.
I hate being on the same team as people who intentionally antagonize their opponents.
Anyway, back on topic, Blizzard probably sees it as a waist of resources to revert Mercy’s current ultimate, as they do take much time in deciding the play of a rework.
Looking at the past, Symmetra being the example here, they gave her a second rework instead of reverting her. I feel that it would be a safe assumption that if a major change to Mercy were to happen, it would indeed be another rework, rather than a revert.
I am not really looking forward to a second rework, as with every rework, Mercy’s kit would be a roulette. I am very happy with Mercy’s kit, regardless of whatever E ability she has. I realize this is only my opinion, but I would hate to see Mercy lose a part of her kit in a rework, which would indeed be possible. Even if the ult was reverted, not that I’m against it, it would suck if they have to take a hit at Mercy’s kit.
