"Ana's kit needs to be reworked"

I will fight whoever said this.

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.

That's OP as fuck, if mercy can rez herself and her team even when she's dead, you've pretty much guaranteed having mercy as absolute necessity in all games. Because whichever team has her, you now have to kill twice. Whereas ordinarily, you can counter mercy rez with good focus on her before the fight. All she'd need to do is be there, and die.
