That doesn’t matter if it’s not balanced. This bloats her kit even more
I missed this on my first check. You’re also eliminating another of mercy’s healing checks: AoE and now burst.

My only concern with the ult idea is the burst heal in the sense that it negates that “Mercy is a single target healer” thing people were pointing out for Valkyrie. I like the flexibility in ult usage, however.

If you missed that on the first pass through, why did you say this:

Because I was referring to an increase in comparison to current rez
I had some ideas for a Valkyrie/Mass Rez hybrid rework but I’ll have to type it out later.

Aoe and burst on Mercy is cool as long as it is tied to her Ultimate.
If you want to read more about that i recommend you to read point 1.1 of my thread:
Also, the burst heal is supposed to buff res a bit, because the new restrictions are quite heavy. It makes res more to a mid fight Ult which wasn’t the case before, it’s not even a big buff really.

Actually, the AoE advantage has been minimized, as it is a single 150 HP burst heal rather than 60 health/second for 15 seconds.
As for burst… Mercy had a burst ultimate prior to the rework and did fine, so there is no reason to assume that Mercy’s burst potential would be too great if she gets a burst ultimate again.

In that case, potential doesn’t matter, as we know for a fact that in reality mass-rez is less powerful than the current Resurrect.

I don’t agree with this. I don’t want Mass Res back. Valk is a better ult. It needs work, but it is better. Not to mention it looks awesome.
People have to stop with posts asking for a revert. It wont happen. They will probably end up removing Res before they put it back in the game.
I dont think Pacify is an ability that should go on Mercy either. It would be better suited for a new support hero altogether.
Res has to be tied to ult and we have to keep Valk.

This isnt a revert this is another rework Mercy needs.

I agree Mercy needs more work, but not with a Mass Res

And how it’s better? Besides “looking awesome” ;p

Because it has potential to be balanced, impactful and super fun. Mass Res does not.

Yet mass-rez was never as much of a problem as valk. But there are other people who can explain this better so I will leave that to them.

Mass Res was always a problem. Thats why it always had to be worked on and eventually had to be reworked

If we had only TWO things to Mass Res since day one, we wouldn’t be in that mess: cast time and Line of Sight.
And it wasn’t at the beginning and Mercy was consider troll pick by the pros. Literally all has changed with that stupid SR exploit.

And yet the only reason people can ever come up with is it being unfun because it has no counterplay. Do you not realize that this rework would add a huge amount of counterplay?

It’s not even an ultimate.
Sure, the wings look cool, but sticking to the skybox really isn’t that awesome.

Why is that? It fits Mercy’s lore as a pacifist.

Those things you mentioned are for counterplay to Mass Res. They still had to end up buffing it because Mercy normally ended up dead. Eventually they had to add invulnerability to is as well.

This would be a rework, technically. And it would provide that counterplay people were crying never existed. This new ult idea has distinct weaknesses, and would heavily discourage waiting to rez a big group at the risk of dying or being interrupted during the cast.
Also, her current overall kit and power distribution of everything is terrible.
