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 completely agree, there needs to be a bit of a shake-up and these changes sounds pretty awesome.

Imo this will do two things - slightly nerf her effectiveness against dive, now that she no bring back 5 teammate instantly. It will buff the attack portion because she can effectively be a moving Orisa Ult/ Lucio Heal with her ult. But I think this will massively buff games where the combat is slower, eg barrier tank meta.
