Why can Reaper hide and ult, but I can't peek and res

I know that the person in charge of balance is a bit out of touch with the game thats obvious. As much as I like your changes, I’m gonna say it, I want to feel that great moment of ressing multiple people so here is my idea of a rework that could happen:

My Thoughts on Mercy

III.Potential Changes

What I think would work out for Mercy:

Ultimate Ability - Ressurect

Now has LoS check (Resses targets that were in LoS in the initial cast, not when the cast time ends)

Cast time - 1.5 s

Range increased to 15m from 5m

During cast time res can be interrupted by CC, hack or death.

While casting Mercy is FREE to use Guardian Angel

Healing requirement increased from ~1750 to ~2100

Every target that was in Res’ range in any point of the cast gets ressed at the end of cast

SHIFT Ability - Guardian Angel

Remains the same, save the bunny hop please.

E Ability - (Credit goes to Brawl for the initial idea of the ability, check his post)

New E ability: Pacify

A projectile wave attack that pacifies the target, reducing DMG dealt from it by 30%.

Insta cast, Mercy stop healing/DMG boosting her target when casted.

Effect of the ability will be applied 0.75s after hitting the target (If someone plays League, kinda like Zoe’s Sleepy Trouble Bubble)

Effect is applied for 5 seconds

Cooldown of 15 seconds

Can be removed by Zarya’s Bubble or Eaten by DM

Stacks in Mystery Heroes/No limits

Caduceus Staff

Healing per second increased from 50 hp/s to 60hp/s

DMG boost CANNOT boost abilities like Junkrat Tire/trap, Widow E (Mine), Hanzo Dragons, Dva Nuke

Caduceus Blaster

Remains the same

While these are not the perfect changes I think that they should be able to get Mercy in a good spot, while still keeping her balanced AND fun. The new ability will open up tons of ways to play her, while still having the most requested feature (Mass Res) in her kit.

If you want to read my entire post: My Thoughts on Mercy
I fully explain why I think mass res was better than this current wanna-be balanced ability. I know the devs like valk and “think” its the right way for her but I couldn’t think of a design where valk isn’t either too underwhelming or OP…

These are just my thoughts, as you can see from the comments some of the most common mercy haters have not even put an effort to read what I have written there (Grey)… I hope you read it and tell me your personal opinion
