Ultimately, putting in one of the rework characters as a new hero would do the same thing as reworking Mercy, except that you get to still keep Mercy.
I agree in that a hero with abilities similar to what people have been suggesting about her would certainly help. I think the problem is that there arenât enough ultimates that directly check bad ult economy, and Q spam. We definitely need more of them. Regardless, I still think that the impact of Mercy, or rather the lack therof, needs to be looked at.

I just made a Mercy rework idea:
I donât know. Thereâs transcendence and sound barrier. Are they sufficient? Do you just want more ults like that?
Symâs ult can actually check a lot of ult spam since having it up completely ruins a lot of ults.
except - as I understand it,the developers are 100% against bringing mass rez back into the game regardless of whether it is Mercy or a new character
so I dont think the revertmercy folks can get what they want, either way

Hah, you want to remake Ying? I always though Ying was the least interest/fun of the Paladins healers. Super imaginative, though.
Personally I always liked Jenos.
Yeah, mass rez canât come back on a different hero, either.
But there have been some other ults suggested like the one with the big healing spear that makes a healing area (probably inspired by Destiny 2âs new solar warlock super). That might be fine.
Our experiences differ
I find Mercy to be very impactful, even before the recent set of 2 buffs, and with those buffs is now even more impactful

I actually like your suggestions there. Iâve seen a similar Ying inspired kit for Mercy a while back (I forget the name). I think it would work pretty well, and certainly wouldnât mind this making itâs way towards live in some shape or form.

Resonance makes Ying better at blowing people up than Junkrat. I like how Paladins healers usually have options to damage and heal at the same time, which is what I wanted for Mercy with my suggested rework.

I donât really get why people want this for Mercy, though. There are Overwatch healers who can do damage and heal at (nearly) the same time - itâs called âAll of them but Mercyâ. Why change the last remaining one instead of playing any of the others?
At this point it is probably in your best interest that you donât partake, because youâre not really doing yourself or your movement any favors and just giving my reason for being on this thread more validity.

I would like to be able to use Mercyâs pistol more.
Ana canât really heal and damage at the same time outside of Biotic Grenade. But Anaâs burst healing allows her to spend more time doing damage than Mercy.

Yeah, thatâs why I said ânearlyâ. But Ana can transition smoothly from shooting an ally to shooting an enemy thatâs nearby. Iâve often healed someone up and then finished off their target.
But if you want to know what stops Mercy from shooting, itâs not her healing, itâs damage boost. Itâs nearly always a better idea for both your ult economy and your teamâs performance to damage boost if youâre not healing. Thatâs Mercyâs offensive contribution, and why she doesnât get to shoot.
I also gave Mercy a damage boosting clone so she can use her pistol and damage boost at the same time.
A long time ago, I had a simple change to make Mercy more fun. It was - remove damage boost, left click heals, right click shoots. But since then Iâve seen enough Mercy players that just donât want to shoot or do any direct offense. I think not having direct offense be a responsibility is part of what draws people to Mercy.
Mercy could choose to use her pistol while her clones heal or damage boost. Or she could choose to stack her own healing or damage boost with the clones.
Just dropping this.
Top Mercy players and pros talking the movement, even the best Mercy in ladder.

They don't want her reworked
