A free resurrect to save a stupid ally or someone who got picked by Widow with no need to charge it, just wait 30 seconds to get it.
Super balanced. Super duper.
There was literally nothing strategic about Mass Rez since 2016.
The only words even I was personally speaking were ‘let them use their ultimates, die on point’. The only hero that was a real threat was a smart Zarya who was appearing once in a blue moon when she was holding Graviton for the mass rez.
Mercy right now requires more gamesense than ever and people literally hate it.

You’re right, they should remove ressurect from the game altogether, maybe it would teach "stupid allies’ to play better.

I agree she is balanced and takes more skill, but if most of her players find her boring that’s a problem. If they get rid of rez completely and give her a cool, fun different e ability and gave valk, more healing that could replace rez. She wouldn’t be over powered and become more fun to play. But a lot of mercy players don’t want to let rez go, so it’s a stalemate. Both sides are stubborn.
But at the end of the day, all the arguing is pointless anyway because blizzard will do what they want.
Oh? You think so?
-What ultimates has the enemy used? Which are still in their bank?
-Is there a Widowmaker or Hanzo? Will I get picked before I can res?
-If I do res, is our team too spread out? Will we just get picked off again?
-Is it safer/a better idea to retreat and regroup?
-If I fly in, will I be able to get that hero about an inch out of my zone?
-That hero just got picked. Do I resurrect them or wait for another to die?
-The hero who just got picked has ultimate. Should I resurrect just in case for the team fight?
I can go on. She was more strategic then than she is now with ‘O H SNAP DO I UZE DAMAGE BOOST OR HEAL?’
Like you really think about all of that in a split second when you see your team wipe… Just come out of hiding and press Q, there’s no answer that will ever justify not to and that’s the problem.
Main healers should in general be the shotcallers, try doing that when playing Mercy, you’ll see she’s not that unfun and boring anymore.
LOL, I never hid as Mercy by my own decision. It was either a teammate’s suggestion or a rage-request from someone else.
Other than that, I peeked and stayed behind cover, something everyone does.
But, hey, nice job clumping all Mercys into one.
Hiding was just as rare as it was with every other hero who hides before ulting.
What is ‘boring’ is that the amount of difficulty has been ramped up, that’s why she feels ‘terrible to play’.
If the people who says such things weren’t thinking like that, they would be playing Ana too, trust me.
Ressurection has been a harm to all her players first, the game second. Now with it being situational, they have to actually think on who to heal first and whatsnot and when you are used to such laidback gameplay like the ‘I have a rez in the pocket, it’s okay if they die’, of course you will drop SR and won’t like it.
What’s boring is that she’s too easy.
It wasn’t rare at all, with mass rez all the Mercys were hiding during teamfights and waiting to revive.
If she’s boring to you play another character? there are other healers and OW is a game about flexing.
Team res was just as rare as Deadeye getting a teamkill.
Or Death blossom getting a team kill.
Or riptire getting a team kill.

We have a famous line of ‘If Mercy is so easy, just climb to GM with her’.
Why is she having negative win rate now, since you were the one who mentioned data first ?
Easy in the sense of how to play her.
Valkyrie, as I said, does everything for you. You no longer have to juggle your healing targets. Just sit in the sky in a glorified spectator mode and watch as your entire team still dies to something that isn’t impactful during a team fight.
She’s boring, too easy to use and well, I’ve said it enough.
The problem is her HPS, too. It didn’t need a nerf.
They’ve trashed her beyond fixing. So…
She needs to be reverted to 1.0.
Even then, reviving just 2-3 people is broken OP and it required absolutely no coordination or skill, just to press Q whereas dps players have to be skilled or plan their ult to get multiple frags.
Oh sNAP yoU PRESs Q To kiLL PeoPLE, TOO!
hOW harD IS that?
These Mercy double standards doe.
It’s hard for me because I always found mercy boring. It felt like spectator mode to me. I’m not a mercy main so I don’t know if more skill is what makes her more boring.
I think they should just remove rez entirely. Developers have made it clear mass rez is not coming back and cool down rez is horrible.
Ok you have no real arguments so you use caps or whatever this is.
Noted.
It’s called a sarcastic tone. C’mon, how can you not read it that way with how silly it looks?
But, you said that “man it is so easy to press Q for Mercy”
when that is also true for any other character.
I explained to you how it was not true about other characters in the same post I explained why it’s easy for Mercy. Read again.
Mass rez was broken OP and should have never been part of her kit in the first place, there’s no defending it, it’s just the truth. If it was up to me I’d even remove ressurect from her kit now.
Mass res wasn’t broken. It’s about as broken as teamkilling was, which was disheartening but not OP. It didn’t happen that often, anyway. INVULNERABILITY during mass res was broken. Your “truth” is an opinion that people who hate Mercy spew too much thanks to false information.
Perhaps you should simply shoo and stop keeping the topic on something that isn’t even on topic.
This is about the devs ignoring us and yet you complained about it being a Mercy thread an eon ago and yet you’re still here arguing about why she wasn’t okay and now is “balanced” (not balanced).
C’mon, y’all. Back on topic.
