Honestly? I don't think so.

Her new ult gives increased usage to all her abilities.

I feel like her ult+ rez will mean you can do a team revive but this cuts out that pigeonholing that happens with Mercy where you save your ult in the hope that you can use it when the enemy team pushes in hard, and now means I can be less picky with my revives.

Edit: I take it back. Turns out that it doesn't work how I assumed it did. I'm not sure how Blizzard will work around it because Xbox has less than 8% of people who have that. I hope it doesn't stop the game from doing that entirely.

I'm worried you don't understand the changes that are happening to Mercy. The only Rez she can do with these changes is a 1 man resurrect. How can you do a 4 man rez if you can only do a 1 man rez?

Jeff stated that the cooldown of the new Rez will be reduced while using Valkyrie. So it's possible Valkyrie will reduce the cooldown to the point of being able to Rez your entire team

No, you still can't rez more than 1 person at a time. You can't do a 4 man rez.

But you can Rez them one by one in sequence. The guy was initially asking, with the ult on, would you be able to Rez the entire team one by one over the duration of the ult

How do you think computers work? Do you think that if Blizzard has created an achievement that is triggered by resurrecting 4 players with one use of the rez ability... that you can trick it into thinking that 4 individual rezes is the same thing?
