If you are low on health, especially as tank, yeah sometimes. Rez was technically a burst heal, but you have to die first.
If you already have dead allies at point, very likely. There is a timer on their corpse, and if you stay alive too long, it expires. This is what I am asking, how is this ever not the case with mass rez?
(All this assuming the Mercy is playing perfectly and no enemy can kill her - otherwise she is likelier and likelier to be killed as the fight drags on. But let’s say that’s the intended challenge)
A Mercy sustains her team until she can no longer do so. A Mercy does not intentionally let her team die as that already devalues Resurrect. You could’ve saved them and pulled of a tempo res which is always going to be better than aiming for a big res.
Eh… no? You try to stay alive as much as possible.
Stay alive and the Mercy will get a tempo res which is way better than a multi res and is much more likely to win the fight.
Also, would this rework suggestion be any good and would you accept mass Resurrect coming back if it was brought back as this:
You tempo res. The Roadhog that died 6 seconds ago isn’t in it, because his corpse expired in the last second as your 30hp Reinhardt was standing in a corner with his shield up.
Next time you tempo res earlier. The Reinhardt in the corner cannot be saved even by your healing beam, and he dies right afterwards.
If you say neither of these things ever happened to you, I don’t believe you.
Obviously there are going to be cases where it won’t be as effective >_<. That being said, usually, it is way better than letting your team die, then res en masse.
In Mercy’s case, you at least had to evade the ultimates in the first place to get used out of Resurrect. Zenyatta? You literally want to get caught in that Graviton Surge so you can press Q among your entire team.
Taking that a step further to further dismantle your assertions…
The effects being the circumvention of a respawn delay and location. It’s theoretically permanent, but finite.
It’s theoretically permanent in the same way that healing is theoretically permanent. If you top an ally off, are they really going to stay that way for the rest of the game?
Except it does.
It charged faster than Sound barrier, but slower than Transcendence.

"Edit: Some people were complaining that the above data is too theoretical. In that case, let’s pull up some averages. To factor in eliminations with ultimates, I will subtract 200 damage in charge per kill. All data is pulled from Overbuff, specifically the Competitive statistics. CR = conversion ratio.
Ana:
3668 damage = 3668 charge.
8791 healing = 8791 charge (I am assuming the CR is 1/1, as it is not otherwise specified).
3000 passive charge.
Total charge: 15459.
Ignoring usage delay, that’s 9.37 ultimates in 10 minutes."

An ultimate that turns the entire team into tanks for the next few seconds, in most cases more than tripling a team’s collective health pool, adding to the team’s sustained momentum and offering no advantages to the enemy team?
An ultimate that makes a team effectively immortal for 6 seconds save for a few specific attacks and abilities, adding to the team’s sustained momentum and offering no advantages to the enemy team?
An ultimate that brings the team back to life after all momentum has been lost and granting the enemy team both the positioning advantage and the first shot?
Not exactly a hard decision. Resurrect was easy to counter for those who actually tried to counter it; the problem is that too many people didn’t bother trying.
There’s a reason no version of Mercy 1.x ever broke past D-tier.
Honestly, just the invulnerability was what was wrong with it. All they had to do was scrap it or turn it into reduced damage, but no. Here we are a year later with people foaming at the mouth.
She could Resurrect behind walls and objects, which was always insane to me. If they were to ever bring it back I want a LoS check when she uses it, Resurrecting a team on top of the Nepal village roof point for example was a nightmare.
Sorry you are blind mate but killing a Rabid dog doesnt mean you defeated the sickness. Its literally not the same. Words are in the dictionary, sorry you are using them in your particular own way.
You said its not an engaging ultimate, and thats false, i proved that. The rest is you beating around the bush. If you believe that an ultimate that gives you FLIGHT and REGEN is not engaging, you must believe Bastion is a flanker.
The one we all use in the world? Something that COUNTERS something when that something is used and prevents or blocks its full effect?
Are you serious right now? LOL
Clearly only mercy mains are the only ones yeah, they did 30 gazillion updates for Bastion, Reaper, Torb yep … clearly Mercy is the one they never touch, LOL again.
Yeah people that cant adapt mostly.
You cant adapt to things that have no counters, its like asking an elephant to fly.
Please think before writing, its bad.
i just wanna say, with the pre-nerfed new mercy, there was a time where fights would never end.
literally for 2/5 minutes into overtime and an almost unkillable mercy that rezes 2 of the enemy and heals them from above without beign threatend.
at least with old mercy rez, you could do a single dps ult and get changes of rekilling any rezzed enemies and gain the upperhand
Please elaborate, 'cause by the sound of it you don’t really sound too sure of the definition either.
Then lemme put t this way~ DPS counter her. Got an offensive ult? You can destroy the team again as long as you didn’t blow it in the first fight.
You DID mention not having counters though, which is a common Anti-Brig argument. So, I don’t really care that you didn’t ask for it out front, you got it.
You just repeated yourself.
Is this what it’s like in Diamond? 'Cause I’ll stay in Plat if it is, I don’t need to climb to this.
“Mercy res is impossible to counter unless you can consume the souls of your victims”. Just keep an ult and kill 'em. Not that hard.
So you admit I won the argument?
You still have yet to explain what your definition of “counter” is.
And what do you mean “reverse rank shaming”? There’s no real reverse about it.
Also… this month?
It just seems like your vomiting words on a screen XD
GGEZ.
Move Mercy away from her team. Same effect as Zenyatta.
Burst Mercy’s team down after they have been revived. Same effect as Zenyatta, but now it’s even easier because you are firing at sitting ducks.
Bio-nade the freshly revived team. Same effect as Zenyatta, except you don’t need to worry about barriers because the enemy team won’t get them up in time after becoming vulnerable.
The options you listed are easier to apply to Resurrect than they are to Transcendence.
Except you said:
And why the hell do you need to expend 3-4 ultimates to kill a team that is already at a clear disadvantage?
Fair enough, considering that the OP was asking for opinions. That said, the reality reflected by statistics means more than opinions that are flatly contradicted by it.
Like, I really could not care. I don’t see why I should be following a dictionary definition in a video-game.
It’s not.
The fact that you have the choice of standing still in the air, next to the skybox with extended beams already makes it the opposite of engaging. You don’t have to move at all. The only time I can remotely see Valkyrie as engaging is if you use it as a mediocre Supercharger and even then, you have 2 issues. Your team no longer has heals and just why? I literally could go Orisa.
You used the word in the definition of the word… Besides, why do I need to be using a irl definition in a game?
I’ll repeat myself. They don’t care about how we feel. Their reluctancy to bring back old Mercy shows this much. Bastion being neglected forever shows this much. Sombra being bad for some time now shows this. Reinhardt having so many bugs show this much. Doomfist having so many bugs prove this much. Literally, most of what they do suggests that they don’t care.
I mean, telling people to just adapt defeats the purpose of feedback.
