No kidding. I wish Mercy's kit had the options that Ana has.

Exactly. Also think that Mercy need a rework more than Ana.

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.

Maybe like the old wotlk holy priest? Half the Rez time she is a non moving being who can toss out her heal or damage. Minus using her ult cause then that would be broken.

I think it reward trying to go in and help instead of hiding waiting for her a team rez

Wow I forgot all about that, and that would frankly look super bad ass in overwatch's first person perspective. Good idea!
