We need an option during rez to decline.
The amount of times I’ve been rez’d into a 2v6 only to die a second time instantly because our mercy thought it was a good idea…

To do so would reduce Mercy’s agency even further and take skill expression away from her.
Annoying as it may be when used wrongly, it’s her ability and the decision of when to use it should made by her alone.

Sometimes this would be nice. I’ve actually lost games because Mercy denied me a hero change with rez.

Better yet, have an option to block our your soul so Mercy doesn’t fly in for a risky Rez, get denied and dies due to lack of communication

We’ve all been there.
But while not always as memorable or noticeable, any misplay can potentially have that result and Mercy’s hardly the only hero that can end up staggering her own teammates. Bad plays are not a valid reason to take away a hero’s ability to make decisions of how and when to utilize their own kit.
If bad Resurrects are such a common problem that such an extreme measure would be on the table. Then I’d argue the very ability itself needs a hard look.

One way this could potentially benefit Mercy instead of harming her, is if being refused didn’t put the ability on cooldown. Better to save your rez for someone who wants it than waste it on someone who doesn’t.

This can be a bit problematic. There have been many times where I’ve used Valkyrie to successfully get off that risky rez that would have otherwise killed me without my ultimate.
Non-Mercy players aren’t really aware of Mercy tech/tricks that helps get the risky rezzes.
However, denying an in-progress resurrect is a good idea, as long as Mercy is refunded the cooldown.

Usually telling the person not to rezz will do the trick. Or add an option to the communication wheel saying “no rez”.

So, you want to take a hard use ability on a 30 second cooldown, just so you can throw it back in Mercy’s face by denying the rez and putting her on a 30 second cooldown anyway?
Why didn’t I think of that?
Oh, that’s why. Cause it’s dumb. That’s what comms are for, maybe you two should get better acquainted.

I agree fully, as much as it stinks… they have to learn themselves.

Nah, Mercy has to learn who is worth rezzing and who is not, if you were too busy eating pizza or something your own fault for not using chat/mic before hand.
If in MH, well again just tell them to not rez you if you suck at the hero.
Also down to Mercy to see who is safe enough to rezz or can sneak rezz otherwise be punished

I more want that for the purpose of we are getting a beating and I need to change to another healer, or tank because nobody else wants to. Then I feel like I gotta try to make that 30 second cool down worth it. There has been times I gotten rezd and think I will get beaten up quick but buy enough time or even survive for the rest of the team to get back. Its hit or miss for me, i get a rez, I get one. But I more so want the feature because I just want to change heros because what was working is no longer working because the other team come up with counters and we are not.
See they’re not gonna change Rez or add that feature because majority of the reasons why you’re having issues with it becomes irrelevant with a good mercy player or, the most important, communication in a TEAM based game.
Also, on KotH Rezzing Someone into a lost fight to get that extra percentage is worth it if your percentage is below 85%.
Mercy’s should also factor if you have ult or not. There’s a chance that the fight wasn’t lost when they decided and committed to the Rez, but within in that 3 seconds your team has clearly lost. Doesn’t mean the ability needs to be reworked. Maybe play the hero a little bit more so you can make judgments from the inside looking out instead of the outside looking in.

Nope, it’s the Mercy’s option to resurrect, if she did in the wrong time then she’ll have to learn how to use it right.

This legit happened to me the other day except I spilled my tea all over my keyboard and pants

Should they also rework Nano since a lot people get suicidal thinking they’re invincible when they get boosted to only end up dead behind enemy lines because the Ana didn’t communicate their intent?
As long as the CD doesn’t start, then I’m fine with it.
I would not be okay with “using” the ability, having it be rejected, then be on a 30 second CD. That would be insane and I would be severely pissed off.

there’s so many Mercy players that deserve this anyways tbh, they never learn i at least want to throw it in their face 
not necessarily agreeing with the change tho

there should be a communication option (doesn’t have to be voiced) that says “Please don’t revive me!”
I also think there should be one that says “Resurrect is available!”
