At least cancel the animation when interrupted. It serves no purpose, whatsoever.

I didn’t know about that. But I remember the others enough to remember there were not 8 consecutive nerfs, though. :confused:

Interrupted by what?

171

Flashbang, boop
 You know, the things that currently interrupt it?

172

I think there were something like 5 or 6 nerfs, but in between all of those there was a buff too
 (the bunny-hop ability)

173

That’s my point, we got here by continuously nerfing her. She was moderately fun at the start of this rework. And yes it is a nerf, 3/5 of her healing/dmg would be cut off plus the 3 seconds.

It already does get canceled by stun and knockback.

175

The animation? The slow?

176

When the cast fails the animation doesn’t hold you back.

177

These changes would make it more of a “stand out” ult by making it stronger.

179

Really? 'cause if I get booped away by LĂșcio, the animation doesn’t stop and the slow doesn’t immediately wear off. On top of Rez going on cooldown (which is correct), you’re doubly punished by not being handed control back straight away.

I think LĂșcio’s and Reinhardt’s respective ultimates suffer the same problem, in that the animation isn’t canceled, despite the ability going on cooldown.

Also I want to see some visual changes to Valk like her wings changing color according to skin. It would be nice to see sharp blue wings when using the Combat Medic skin or tattered orangish yellow wings with the Witch skin, etc.

The cast time and slow are stopped when you’re booped but it feels like they’re not because of the the boop sending you flying.

182

Ah, ok.

183

I also can’t be the only one that thought I will watch over you was more fitting for her ult line. I don’t see why the old heroes never die can’t be used when ressing in Valk.

I feel Blizzard should really add a Feature Suggestion subforum somewhere. Would make it easier for people to post new ideas without cluttering other forums/threads.

Agreed, it would be a nice change. But so far they don’t seem to care to change anything on the forums right now.

  • Slower Ult Charge
  • Reduced Ult Duration
  • Chain Heal during Valk swapped out for stronger Single Target heal
  • Infinite ammo during Valk swapped out for +20% Fire Rate
  • Reduced Rez Cast Time during Valk

These changes aren’t really making it any stronger.

Yeah it takes time, but we can see that Hanzo’s rework for example was announced around like October-November of 2017 and they are still working. They said Mercy would receive changes and two weeks later they announced the rework. Sure they probably were working before they talked about her, but her rework was poorly designed, and it broke the game. If they were going to change so drastically, at least work carefully. I think Hanzo’s rework will be good because of this fact.

Isn’t Jeff a hanzo main? He probably didn’t want to change scatter till he got used to the rework.
