The flash thing she did in the Storm archive cinematic. Blinds enemy screen for about 2 seconds, No damage, no stun/cc, big radius, maybe some forward/backward movement, and 8-12 seconds on cooldown. Buff her as needed (maybe the return of 60 HPS). Obscuring enemy sight fits a pocket/borderline main healer quite nicey.
2 seconds would be way too long. I’d say like 1-1.5. But it does seem like a good ideas as the res is kinda useless rn

I’d rather not go blind every few seconds lol.
IMO, the game is already flooded with waaaaaaaayyyyy to much CC
Please, no more CC
that, and Mercy is well set in her current state, no need for buffs

Ya, 1 to 1.5 seconds would probably be more balanced
I remember the sheer terror after being Boomer biled on Left 4 Dead. It might work. I dunno. I think Rez is fairly balanced now.
Instead of replacing rez, why not give it an option to be used on a living target (for a different beneficial effect) instead
I wouldnt consider it CC since it doesnt affect movemet, just visuals. Other games have similar effects and dont seem to overwhelming (any FPS flashbang gernade, any game with a visual disrupter, even Paladins has a flash in a fast charging ult). If it is CC, then I dont understand the difference between CC and utility (like an Ana nade for example)
I actually like the ideas you proposed. Too bad devs never listen.
Would rather see Blinding Light as part of her ULT since in the cinematic she used it during what appears to be her Valkyrie.
Especially since the blinding effect would have to impede Dead Eye & Tactical Visor to make any sense if she uses it during McCree’s or Soldier’s ULT.
So I get to be freezed, stunned, booped, hacked and also blinded?
No thank you very much, please never bring this up again.

or just give her a halo ability thats similar to a zarya bubble that lasts 2 seconds and if the teammate she places it on diesx they get 5/8 of their health back
It could be a good idea, but what is it exactly? Does it it let a target be resurrected in a couple seconds after they die if they are chosen? Camping that person would often nullify the effect other than wasting two people’s time
Thanks 
Can you add your comments to the thread in question?
Mei, sombra, mercy, lucio, brig or mccree, tank seems like a weak comp tbh. And of its that hard rein, go Orisa. This game is about changinh your hero for the situation
It’s time to start reducing CC instead of adding it.
This game has been CC creeped, I don’t care what hero one plays.

If CC is just general utility, then im not sure how you reduce it. Not every character can be damage/healing only. People even complain about Moira
I have some ideas of how to reduce it, some better than others, but not adding blind would be an easy choice.

If they game is raw damage/healing only, it would get stale quickly. If CC is stopping you from playing, find teammates who back you up
That’s not what reducing CC means.
It isn’t, thanks for your concern.
