Suggestion regarding CC control so that it is not AS BAD as it is now

I can’t take full credit for the idea, as the idea was influenced by tWisted every main tanks dream healer.

He mentioned in his thread about a healer that makes a given character immune to CC.

So I was thinking a crazy odd idea about Mercy, rework.

Since she’s a single target healer (minus her ult)

Re work her damage beam buff, to a replenishing shield buff as long as the target is at 100% health. (Think zarya shield here or old Symmetra shield)

So as long as she has that beam on the target they take 0 HP damage, and only take shield damage up to a given set of Heal Per Second?

Or if mercy is broken enough, then create a new shield support character that ONLY does shield healing the same way mercy beam heal works and only on single target, and I’m sure the community can come up with a cool ult to give him/her.

Thoughts?

yeah i think it’d work better on another support as mercy currently doesn’t need any buffs as she’s finally balanced.

I love Crowd Control Control.

Jokes aside, before the rework when Mercy had nothing bound to E there were constant threads at a steady pace asking for the developers to implement a “Cleanse” ability to clear all CC and Rebuff effects. As you can see, they don’t want that.

You’re kidding right?

An unwarranted rework with 13 nerfs afterwards is not balanced. The only reason her pick rate has dipped slightly is because Ana’s Nanoboost buff is incredible. You can Nanoboost any teammate at any time and heal them to full (or near full for Tanks) so obviously she’s not seeing as much play

Anti cc is busted…

Don’t rework the balanced things! Rework the broken Rez ability
