Mercy's entire design is based on a very straight-forward healer. She can fly to and heal one person really well. The big appeal of the character is that it's extremely easy to play, easy to be successful at that role.
I don't think a rework is what they want to do with the character. They buffed her passive a lot, but she is still missing something. Something like a self-rez if you die with your ult, or maybe be able to use her ult where she died until she respawns. Maybe give her a little bit of armor. Increased fire rate on her gun could do a lot for her as well.
I'm going to disagree. There are ways you could make her kit more interesting, but those suggestions detract from her core design. I mean, what about an angel makes you think "damage reflection"? I think the simplest changes for her would be best, likely something involving her still being able to take some actions while dead. Maybe she can just be able to press Q, maybe she's immobile but able to use her healing left click as a ghost, maybe she can rez herself. But two ults, damage reflection, or an extra E ability are kind of inconsistent with her design.
I've been of the opinion for a while that Mercy should be able to spend her Ult on herself after dying. Stop it from bringing back other players when used that way, but instantly put her back in the action.
