Hits Q, sticks to the invisible ceiling and holds M1.
Such skill. Very outplay. Wow.
What would an outplay version of Valkyrie ultimate look like?
Maybe thatās what it is for you, but for everyone else who actually plays her and isnāt trying to gimmick their way to higher ranks for competitive pointsā¦

is this your account you canāt post on or you want to be that guy with the āRevertMercyā name posting about how we should Revert Mercy
At least something that isnāt just, hold a button and heal the entire team. Iād much rather have Valkryie increase pure healing output and offer a slight damage decrease to the target youāre healing, which would be perfect for pushes or healing a tank/squishy at low health. The numbers would take a lot of adjustment, but I would find the management of making sure each of my team members is not dying more fun than having it done for me. Fun, and challenging.
So which would be preferable:
- Q to toggle between current Valk, and outplay Valk (weaker)
- Q to switch only once to outplay Valk (stronger)

This. In my personal opinion, there isnāt nearly enough impact with current Mercyā¦ and to me, she just isnāt fun. They can certainly do a lot better with her, especially her ultimate.

Just Outplay, if thatās what weāre calling it. XP
But, there would have to be a little more to it. Just a Healing boost and damage protection probably isnāt enough, unless the numbers are high enough. Maybe like, 70-80 hps, with a 35% damage reduction, but also during Valkryie the cooldown and Cast Time for Rez is cut by 50/75%? Iād say two charges, but I am honestly not sure how I would feel about that. It is a defining part of her kit, but I think being able to push/Defense easier with her ult (with the current duration it has) would be very powerful, especially on Bastion or one of the tanks.
The trick is, can you do a version that isnāt a straight upgrade?
Instead itās some heavy tradeoffs, weaknesses for strengths, relative to current Valk.
First time Iāve seen these suggestions, fairly solid, concerned maybe too much? One thought I had as far as a balancing mechanic for the potential power of mass rez is increase cast time based on number of downed teammates in proximity.
I find Mercy really fun. If you donāt like her pick up anyone else. This is the most diverse support meta weāve had in ages.
Well, Iām trying to do a version that isnāt either- an upgrade or a downgrade. Without actually being able to test it in game, thereās really no way to actually tell. XP
Especially if the team is running the correct comp. Ana nade? Makes the healing useless, only the damage reduction now. Actually thatās always been a problemā¦ XP
I mean, Iām not entirely sure Iām what ways to compensate the loss of Mass Healing for something else other than a pure increase in healing output during the ultimate.

Well, what sort of strength could you give to Valk if it cut the duration in half, and removed all personal regeneration including basic regen.
Ideally without buffing Rez. (Because that might kill the idea)
Would Mercy players really want that? Because theyāre going to die a lot using it.
Well itās only a few seconds, because of the deceased duration.
And in trade they might get some crazy powerful outplay abilities.
I.e. Ana is really strong right now, but really vulnerable.
I didnāt mean to cut the duration of Valkryie itself, so I think keeping the Healing output numbers and the damage reduction pretty low would be a good way to balance it out. I forgot how much Zenyattas Orb increased damage, but at least enough to Negate that? Maybe a little more. That and half Cast Time on Rez, and Half cooldown Time (only during ult.) I mean, it sounds good. It would be good, for like I said, Strong Pushes or a hard Defense, as well as quickly getting the lower hp heroes up even while under fire.
I donāt think the devs want rez to be stronger, but they can be swayed that Valk should be more interesting.
Well, going with the whole āValk enchances all of her abilitiesā I feel that just the halving it would be better than going back to say, insta cast double charge. XP
But I personally feel like it would be more engaging like that. Youād have to keep track of things and watch out, like you used to.
Well, whatever you can get away with I guess.
That said, hereās what I came up with when I thought of this idea.
During Valkyrie, you can press Q a second time to activate:
Valkyrie: Expert Mode
- 100 heals per second
- Zero cooldown on Guardian Angel
- 20% faster flight speed
- 40% damage boost
- Half of normal beam length
- No permaregen
- No chain beams
- Double ult duration drain, and canāt be switched back
Yet there is barely any actual discussion there, 99% of the threads are random highlight clips and tired memes. The number of posters who actually discuss stuff like balance and lore there is way, way smaller than the number of subscribers or active posters.
