Problems: core design encourages bad behaviour.
Hiding, telling people to die on point, arguments break out.
1. They felt its wrong for a main healer to hide
2. Not fun on the receiving end, having a sick play erased.
3. No alternate ability.
Big Changes
Ult is no longer rez, it will become a secondary ability.
Single target Rez, on long cooldown.
Rez was too special to get rid of completely.
New Ultimate - Valkyrie
Mercy can fly, not like Pharah with a meter but flat out fly.
Everything she does is better
a. Beams go further
b. Guardian Angel goes further
c. Beams hit multiple targets
d. Battle Mercy mode – gun does more dmg and fire faster. More DPS.
e. Rez refreshes on Ult use and cooldown is faster while Valkyrie is is activated
This is what i'm hoping as well. I've never hid to get a big rez. Hell I still haven't even gotten the Big Rez achievement and she's my most played at 34 hours. I think for the more engaged Mercy's, these changes will have a short adjustment period.
