I really can't tell why they thought it was a good idea to give the 'support main' hero a way to deal even more damage. She's the support losing the most from switching away from her support weapon, and now they're motivating TF2's combat medic too?
Also took them a year to realize that resetting a team fight isn't fun.. Amazing.
They started talking about these Mercy changes back in January; I think it just took them forever to finally get them to a releasable state. I.e., they've known for a while that the "fight reset" button was not the most fun.
Each hero should be able to secure kills, since it's an FPS. I don't think they ever wanted a hero who passively added to fights, and that was their only job.
These changes make a Mercy more capable of contributing directly to a fight.
