Why not just give mercy overheal?

You are entitled to your opinion. As for me, I think Mass res was a lot more engaging than spectating the team with a weak chain heal, but we will just agree to disagree on which we personally think is better. But you do know that those same “Genji’s” are still crying because they didn’t get solo rezzed right? I could find a video of a genji main being toxic to a Mercy player after the rework as well even, the toxicity against Mercy mains haven’t changed at all. And with the 5 month OP Valkyrie fiasco, I’d argue that it’s a lot worse now than it’s been back then.

Um… That would depend on who is being ressed, and how useful your team mates actually are to the team. I’ve tempo ressed team mates who turned around and got a kill, and I even have footage of myself risking a res just because I know that it will result in a turnaround kill from my team mates. Not sure if it’s a strike of bad luck, but the majority of my rezzes turned out to be useful, so your mileage will vary there.

Those are all extremely situational. I’ve never experienced any of those things during my playthrough. Even so, do explain to me how those types of “useless resses” are less frustrating than 1 big res? Constantly getting ressed and then sniped again every 30 seconds sounds a lot more frustrating than it only happening once near the end of the game - in my opinion. :blush:

I see your point. But when you think about it, that hide-n-res behavior still exists. Mercy still needs to hide in order to res now, because of the LOS and cast time checks. It’s a lot harder to just run in and pull off a res in the open because of it, so I would think that hiding has only happened more often than before when a Mercy resses. To add, most of the mercy’s who hid and res were horrible at playing her. The mass res being most common at 3 people resses proved that such a strategy was rarely successful.

Actually. I agree with you on this. I think that an instant mass res without LOS is pretty bad design in general.

Well that’s an opinion. I’m afraid that I disagree with you there. I would very much rather have mass res than an ultimate on a 30 second cooldown. It’s extremely unrewarding and has low impact overall in my view. I don’t want resses handed to me every 30 seconds whether i deserved them or not, I want to work for it and have it be earned through my good mercy play. I could also do without the spectator cam flight mode in her ultimate. But that’s just me.

That’s an interesting take. Not sure 100 HP is fair though, she’d be much too weak without any shields, unless she’d also have a faster self-regen (which isn’t really a good idea to do either imo).

I like Titanium’s suggestion on her, which I would suggest you check out, since it kind of answers the problem with her having no impact but also making it balanced and fun.

But alas, we may just have to agree to disagree on our views. I respect your thoughts on her nonetheless. Thanks for offering your opinion. :blush:
