While playing Mercy I saw the enemy Mercy get rez off on a reaper with ult in the middle of my five teammates while she was the only one aliveā¦
cooldown or heās not in range possibly
Btw EeveeA are you sure about the 20%ult increase? That makes valk even slower than Zen ult which would be horrible for a pseudo moira/zen ultā¦

How they do it I donāt care. However, there needs to be a reaction time for the enemy team to respond to it.
Probably not. Torbās armor doesnāt really stack, either. It just requires 50 resource, and his bar just happens to be 200.
You do know where this thread is going right?
Iām fine with these changes, except honestly, Mercy is again looking like sheās ātoo goodā, based on the most recent meta reportā¦
I just want instant res back. I dont care how big the charge time would be I just want her to be fast and active. Not hide and res like she does now. Giving her any form of cast time just ruins her flow

Good thing we arenāt balancing characters purely on their ultimate.
Honestly Iāve gotten so used to cast time res that Iād be fine if it kept its cast time without the slow effect.

The thing is that the developers wanted her to not stop healing and hiding yet they nerfed her in such way that you basically have to do that to be safe or get a successful resurrect.
I thought of this kit for a while now and I think it should be good:
Ultimate:Ressurect
Costs 20% more than her currents ultimate
Has a cast time of 1.0 second(s)
Mercy does not slow down Mercy and she is capable of using GA during the cast time that way she is more flexible and can still be killed
After a successful resurrection Mercy gains invulnerability for 1 second and it activates her passive healing until she takes damage
Her teammates spawn with only half of their health but they gain a passive healing of 30hp/s for 5 seconds
Valkyrie as 2nd ability
Duration reduced to 8 seconds
Does not activate passive healing
Does not chain the healing beam to multiple targets instead they boost the power of the beam by 50% (90hp/s , 45% damage boost)
Gain the ability to fly freely
GA LoS is buffed to 40 meters when activated
Her pistol does not fire infinite ammo but now has 30 ammo andit fires 20% faster than her normal rate
This allows Mercy to have more mobility but more utility for her team at the same time
I know these abilities might sound ridicoulosly powerful but no one ever said rework in the first place when she had a multi rez
Also why can everyone have a shining moment except for Mercy?
Reaper, Pharah, Junkrat, Tracer, D.va, Zarya, Zennyatta, Lucio, Moira they all have one, heck even Symmetras ult is better than Mercysā ult.
Oh yeahā¦they didnt want her to quote āErase all of your teams workā cause you couldnt find her and kill her or just stop her mid-air.A Zennyata ult can be stopped by an Ana grenade its the same with Mercy but you just gotta kill her.

But keep in mind that the meta reports, and things like pick rates for OWL donāt mention the fact that certain maps favor Mercy over other healers. Case in point, OWL stage 3 favors Mercy more than ever, and is set to boost her pick rates yet again.
I got used to it too that doesnt mean it should stay.

@Nomsie you know that there is literally only one post in the first page of the general discussion forums talking about mercy ATM. Sorry this one post makes it impossible for you to read the other posts, whatever disability you suffer from sounds horrible.
Also the stickied thread for discussing Mercy is a feedback thread for the mercy changes, not a place to post ideas for new mercy changesā¦ wouldnāt want to clog up that thread with posts that donāt belong would we?
The cast time is fair, itās not an ult. The slow is bs though, (especially in Valkyrie)
These are all great suggestions-- great post THAT SHOULDNāT GO TO THE MEGA THREAD

Very true, but Iām not sure which maps DONT favour Mercy at this pointā¦
I suppose itās also a good thing that Blizzard does not listen to any of our suggestions too then. At least then everyone can blame Blizzard for whatever state Mercy ends up in, and therefore have a common enemy. If they ever decided to listen to the community it would always pit one side against the other.
Iād be a bit cautious about this change. A single target, switchable, 12 second 60% damage boost would literally make Nano Boost irrelevant.

She was good before her rework but the devs didnt want to listen to the community and it went live then she was hit with 8 nerfs in a row.

Idkā¦ most of that is just a straight nerf. I feel like that just waters her kit down more. Also, If weāre really stuck with this single rez I want it to be instant. I really really despise the slowdownā¦
