So in Destiny 1, there was an ability for Warlocks to self-rez if they had their ult and enter radiance mode. I was thinking that it would be really cool if Mercy could rez herself if she dies with her ult and come back to life.
Here is how I think this should work.
New Mercy Changes:
- Mercy can now activate her ult while dead to resurrect herself.
- When activating self-resurrect, she will build her HP back up to 200 over 1.75 seconds. While resurrecting herself, enemies will be able to kill her, unlike when she resurrects allies.
- Potential Idea: After successfully casting the self-resurrect ultimate, she will enter Valkyrie mode. This is a potential idea because I think that using her ult to self-resurrect is already a powerful ability, but self-resurrecting and then entering Valkyrie mode seems very very powerful. Maybe this could be implemented if Mercy loudly announces that she is reviving herself. I personally think that a plain ultimate charge consuming self-resurrect is plenty though.
That’s all, this isn’t some long Mercy balance post, just a small idea. It was fun to be a self-resurrecting Warlock in Destiny 1 and I think it would fit Mercy’s kit well. Come all, Mercy mains, passive players, and Mercy haters, leave your feedback! Suggest scrapping the idea or contribute to making it better!
