That sums it up so have a nice read.
Given the fact that the best course of action would be to go back to Mass Resurrect, the change should be pretty easy, assuming the devs know their way around their Version Control System of choice.
Except, nobody asked for her to be viable in pro play. People wanted an E ability.
Hence, a failed rework.
Sometimes, swallowing one’s pride is the right thing to do.
I should know. I’ve had to revert changes to software I wrote because it didn’t work out. Better scrap a failed idea and restart from scratch, than spending god knows how much time trying to make something work, only to realize it was doomed to fail from the get-go.

I am against mass rez, single rez ultimate sounds better.
Because all the mass-killing ults are fine, right?

I dont even play Mercy and these Mercy witchhunt responses crack me up.
"She can negate my 1-3 seconds of hard work (sometimes luck)
Kill them again. Shoot the Mercy while she is rezzing…
“I can’t catch her. She is so darn fast. Nerf GA so she is easy to kill”
Nobody can catch Genji, Tracer Sombra or Doomfist reliably either so…
“She does too darn much healing”
Uhm Ana and Moira heal more than Mercy does if played correctly. You know that option for “healing” orb on Moira… use it… know that aiming stuff at your own team heals them instead of trying to be a one man army on Ana?
“Her ult is too darn good” she doesnt chase you down with piles of armor and best your face in while Aoae healing. She doesnt have a Kamehameha that negates barriers, makes her faster and plucks Pharah out of the sky. She doesnt have the ability to negate some of the strongest DPS ult combos in the game.
“I can’t hit her in Valkyrie. She is so small!” Hello hitscan fall off buffs. Her regen doesnt keep up with a good soldier of McCree anymore.
If you think it’s easy to play Mercy, go get chased around by flankers for a while. Poke your head out and get it Widowed off
Get mugged by a surprise Doomfist because he used a rollout bug across 3 rooftops and landed a SS on an unsuspecting team for 175 damage than cleaned up with his “bad kit”
Get chased down by a nano boosted Rein or Genji, since that ult doesnt do anything since it’s not the Beyblade meta…
Everyone gets on Mercy players for defending what they have, but nobody gets on the “buff my hero because of reasons” players

Let’s go to a middle ground, rez charges, what about that?
Single rez as an ultimate will never be a thing. It would be the most lacklustre ultimate in the game…
Didn’t we basically have that with 2x Rez in Valk?

Valk was nice when it was like that. The problem was the rez/double rez on the E ability.
They should have keep valk double rez instant (it’s an ult) and remove the ability for something else.
That could be a good start and rez would be earned like each ultimate.
The problem is, that’d make Valk all about Rez, and the Overwatch team explicitly stated that they did not want this.
What if we gave her back mass rez and invulnerability, added LOS and when she rez’s, the team comes back at 50% health?
The issue I see is that mass rezz was NEVER meta or OP but we want to revert to a watered down tripple nerfed mass rezz how is this even logical XD
This just comes to show how much people hate the current version

Like I said in another topic :
new e : empowered (increase by 30% damages done by your target for 5 sec, 8 sec cooldown)
Shift : no change
Lmb : no change
Rmb : pistol
Ult : resurection
No. Mercy needs to die if she gets reckless. Those 1v5 or 1v6 rezzes shouldn’t be happening on a regular basis. Also, that 50% health makes Rez near useless, as anyone will be able to one-clip Tracer.
Mass Resurrect without invulnerability, with LoS, and the Bunny Hop on GA is the best way to go IMO. If we really need cast time, then a 50% damage reduction is a must. Maybe regenerate Mercy’s health during cast, idk.

Potential fixes at this point for me would be:
A) Mass Rez returning with needed tweaks
B) Another rework featuring a heavily altered Valk or new ultimate as a whole.
Mass Resurrect
- 20M Radius
- 1 Second Cast time
- Can Resurrect up to 5 people
- LoS fix (Can’t Resurrect through walls)
- Damage Reduction instead of Invulnerability
New E Ability
- Suggest something
![:slight_smile:](https://d74zh8edaijub.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=5" ":slight_smile:")
This seems like the most ideal rework suggestion for Mercy

revert her, and make her rez “dead-time” dependent: Heroes who died within one or two seconds are rezzed instantly, all who died earlier take the same cast time as they were already dead. So a “glory five rezz” is only executable e.g. after a junk-tire, and only if mercy stayed near the fight and wasn´t hit so she could do it quickly. No hide and rezz, no “die at the point” because all would have to die the exact same time…
It would simply encourage these sweet “tempo-rezzes” which felt awesome
no ability-rez

What about a « the more you keep Q pushed, the more you rez people » style ? If you just push it = rez 1 guy, if you push it for 1 second (+ animation) = 2 rez etc…
Food for thought
So like a channeled ultimate then?
You nailed it
