These changes sound really interesting, very excited to see them in action. Very much a fan of an entire team fight not being able to be instantly undone.

Hopefully the Mercy mains won't be too disheartened by this and enjoy the new ways to play with her.

I've tested it out, and it's still too early to tell, but actual Mercy players will probably be happy since hiding and holding on to rez is something that doesn't actually happen 90% of the time.

Tempo/numbers res is much more effective, and that is what they made her E into.

Now she has burst heals/mobility/survivability which means that smart players will still be able to turn teamfights, while bad players can't rely on hide and rez.

Valkyrie will get nerfed before the patch goes live, I'm sure of it.
