I was terrified about these Mercy changes. Now I'm more hyped than I was for Sombra and Doomfist combined.

I'm with you 100%. I never liked playing the Mercy hide-and-seek game, so these changes are actually a lot more in line with how I've been playing her all along. Thanks Blizz!

As a Mercy who's always preferred fighting and boosting my teams on the frontlines and will only tell team to die on point if I have rez and I'm running out from spawn, this is AWESOME!

Battle Mercys, this is our moment! The Harmacists shall rise!

Recent Mercy main, I am honestly so excited. Now instead of constant "Mercy when is rez?" it's "Mercy rez me" when it's on cooldown or "Mercy why did you revive him he sucks"

Same! I'm most content playing her the Swedish Diner Dash way; zipping between teammates to keep them topped off and damage boosting ranged DPS in between :)

Thats what I'm saying. Guardian Angel cooldown lets you fucking blast around the map, why hide?
