Remove Resurrection

Just a reminder that this ability completely hinders Mercy and is one of the worst abilities balance-wise in the game.

Give her a blinding ability like in the Havana cinematic to have a defense mechanism.

Mercy is quite literally a extremely good support right now, top3 most picked in GM and with a respecteabke 6-7% on the rest of ladder iirc

Shes not hindered anymore she very clearly works

its not a troll post.

Resurrect genuinely hinders Mercy’s kit and was a broken feature since launch.

Resurrect is one of the only abilities that you don’t even get to utilise regularly because of it’s risks, of the fact that it requires for someone to be dead and in a safe enough location and for the resurrect to not be a throwaway.

Mercy’s two only abilities rely on her team and that’s not considering other conditions.

Obviously, it could bring back her entire team

thus making it an ability for you to take risks and strategize on if you should bring back that dead teammate and not making it an unstoppable ability.

Because shes team dependant.

Resurrect is a core part of her kit and if it was removed then just remove mercy because noone will play her because they only play her because resurrect is an impactful ability in ways. And rez is balanced the way it is, and shes arguably one of the most balanced heroes in this game.

What? I don’t care that much about this balance proposition, but resurrection may be situationally powerful, but… 30s of cooldown, a dead teammate, and that the teammate is reasonably reached. That’s a bit situational.

And reminder that putting “tRoLl pOsT” in front of any random post may not always guarantee 90 likes.

While you are at it.

Remove Inspire, Discord, Speed Boost, Immortality Field, Sleep Dart & Fade then you have completed your multi… “Destroyed Supports” :crazy_face:

You didn’t read the post, did you?
Should’ve read the post and not just the title, because compensation was suggested… They don’t want to harm Mercy. Just give her an ability that could be more generally applicable.

harming resurrection as an ability is harming mercy.

The only reason she is good is because Ashe and Echo are meta which equally benefit from a Mercy pocket.

Once they’re gone from the META, she will die down with them. Notice how this is the first time that Mercy is GENUINELY META in over a year? yeah.

(PS. this is not mentioning the fact that everyone parring Moira is actually META rn).

It wasn’t only about that. It made people essentially throw their fights/matches for a ‘mass rez’ moment because it reset the fight with an enemy team that was already half-way exhausted.

Also - back then Res was instant too.

It wouldn’t ever be an unstoppable ability.

it gets cancelled by everything, boop, stun, radius…

There are simply too many risks for one ability that is already EXTREMELY situational on the basis that you can use it.

They play her for resurrect? LOL.

Haven’t heard that in a long time.

She’s played because of her synergy with DPS heroes, because of her mobility and because she can dish out consistent healing.

Her resurrect is nothing more than an afterthought.

Also, having her WHOLE kit be reliant on her team is trash balancing. You take her teammates away and the literal only thing that Mercy can use is her pistol - she is the equivalent of a Baby DVA and the reason a player gets into Baby DVA state is because they’re essentially being punished.

Except none of those hinder the heroes they’re for. The reason that Mercy rarely receives buffs is because her kit has been broken from launch.

Again, NO hero should be as team reliant as she is.

yeah… an ability that reduces her movement speed by 75%, cast time is 1.75 seconds, no invincibility, and has 30 seconds and resurrects one ally at a time is defiantly one of the worst abilities balance wise.

Rez is a decision maker if the Mercy player decided to revive their teammate or not. Smart Mercy players know the risks while those in the lower ranks will just go YOLO & attempt to rez their fallen Reinhardt by getting themselves killed.

Rez is an ability that teaches Mercy players to observe the situation that they shouldn’t risk their lives to bring back a dead Reinhardt but focus on keeping the rest of the team alive.

this, i hate that. Its so dumb. Im glad mass rez was removed because hide n seek mercy was the worst

It is.

The return value for pulling off a resurrect is the reason it is so punishable in the first place but it makes the ability so situational that it makes it one of the least consistent abilities in the entire game - in an ability based game.

I wasn’t here for hide 'n seek Mercy, but it sounds awful from everything I have heard. Like… Really unfun.

because it needs counters. Ever thought of that? thats why you rez SAFELY when you KNOW that you wont get stunned, booped or hacked. Or just commun with ur team and ask for protection

Why are people so cringey about Rez? She is a bloody doctor for crying out loud lol its just like how people whine & complain about Baptiste with Immortality Field…

I mean, Telling your entire team to flush towards the point while your main healer hides and all your allys die and then their all just brung back by a mercy rezzing behind a wall does sound awful, also it stole tons of potg’s

So you just want it to be a “Im going to rez out in the open” ability?
