Plus…
Resurrect is now replaced with burst healing that heals her target and herself for an additional 30 hps (giving her target a total of 90 hps and herself 30 hps plus her passive if she hasn’t taken damage) for 4 seconds.

(thus bringing back some engaging gameplay for Mercy)

If I was to be slightly humorous, but mercies will damn well know what I an talking about.

A third beam option which cranks up aim assist.

So we CAN heal bad aim.

Not trying to sound like a D.Va main trying to keep my main from being nerfed, but this would be such a big nerf, it would be on par with Mercy’s Valkyrie nerf, but a lot less necessary

laughs That would be so overpowered in solo-queue quickplay… but fun :smile:

I think the social aspect of it would be the funny part.

If the mercy flys on over and sticks that beam on you… Well… Maybe they are telling you something.

Or the sheepish tone someone would take asking to be hit with it…

So, the death of dive, Junkrat and likely Moira. Ok.

You want every game to be two Reinhardts staring each other down whilst their teams hold m1 at the barriers?

As that’s what you’d make from those tank changes.

Don’t agree with the Moira one (maybe lower it though 20?)

Brigitte would need a minor buff to keep those nerfs from killing her.
Maybe an increase to her passive heals?

13

This would be my nightmare patchnotes. No, offense I do not think you have thought this through, seems like you just went…

Ok, I do not want to fight these heroes so I will essentially nerf them so far into the ground that they won’t even exist

Junkrat and D.Va nerf sounds so horrible that I don’t know what to say of it.

Mercy

  • Resurrect is returned as Mercy’s Ultimate.
    -> Added a decay rate to Mercy’s charge rate. If Mercy stops healing or damage boosting for more than 2 seconds, her ultimate charge will decrease at a rate of 2/second. This will encourage bad Mercy players to NOT hide the second they gain Resurrect, and actual Mercy players will easily be able to restore their ult charge should they die and walk back from spawn.
    –> Removed invulnerability when using Resurrect; instead Mercy now has a 50% damage reduction, so there’s easier counterplay rather than having ult economy.

  • Valkyrie is now Mercy’s E-ability. When Mercy presses E, she will gain free flight for 5 seconds, and have the ability to chain heal/damage boost. The cooldown is 18 seconds.
    –> Mercy’s Guardian Angel hop remains.

Is that a 5 Rez ult or 1 Rez ult?

There are some good changes, but most of them are pretty terrible

I would literally cry tears of joy.

This would anger me though. I understand that people think her lifesteal is too much 1vs1 but at the most it should be lowered down form 30/33 hps to something like 28 hps. It doesn’t need to be removed entirely.
