Survival is meaningless, if you can’t share it with your team. I consider dying, but bringing back everyone a better decision, than being sole survivor.
If giving up Valkyrie is price required to bring actually strong ultimate back, I am willing to do such trade instantly.
With apologies, this sounds (to me) quite a lot more like an attack on all current Mercy players than an answer to the question I asked about how you know what I have or have not played
It isn’t bad for heros designed around this concept. Mercys main job is healing. Healing provides the least potential charge out of everything in her kit, and she was reworked with the goal of not encouraging her to stop healing. This is why its a problem for Mercy based on the way she functions and the way her kit exists as it is now. That’s kind of the whole point of my novel of a post.
Edit: spelling on mobile is apparently hard today.
Valkyrie isn’t an escape button for Mercy. Granted, it won’t outheal everything, but it’s a massive advantage for every teammate to have 60 hps applied on them when engaging a fight for example.
It’s not like it will save teammates from any decent damaging ult, so I can just fly away. If second healer got their ult, they will use it, if there is no second healer, then all hope is lost.
Feel like backing this up with some numbers proving that its likely her healing will go up? I don’t mind posting a novel that no one will read filled with math and averages based on what the average stats of the hero are, but if I’m going to spend the time, I’d appreciate not being the only one doing so for once.
So basically, you’re telling me that Valkyrie isn’t going to save your teammates, so they’re going to die. For that reason, you don’t use Valkyrie.
So you use your ult after they die to escape???
I use it as soon as more than 1 teammate dies, because it makes outcome certain. 2 teammates dead with other team still having 6 players = fight is over, see you at spawn room.
Prefer not to watch teammates being killed, when I am unable to undo their deaths or outheal that damage.
Look, Valkyrie isn’t meant to outheal ults because it lasts 15 seconds. Compare it to Transcendence that can help you team survive channeled ults; which lasts 6 seconds.
Valkyrie SHOULDN’T be used to counter ults unless your tanks are trying to actively shield your team as well.
Also, a DPS ult isn’t going to kill your whole team everytime and some ults can actually be outhealed more or less easily by Valkyrie like Tactical Visor.
You should use Valk to give your team a massive advantage when initiating a fight or trying to defend a point. It’s also super versatile with the damage boost and pistol
There is no other healer usually, so your suggestions are not working. Also I won’t call advantage massive, it’s not sound barrier.
Versatility is downside here, since Valkyrie does multiple things, but none of those things are strong enough. If I were interested in dealing damage, I would pick DPS instead.
