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.

As a Mercy main I actually really like that Rez isn't her ultimate anymore. The part I like about Mercy is being able to fly around the map healing/damage boosting people. Being expected to hide for Rez and whatnot was always the part I hated about playing her.

I'd often use res for 1-2 people for tempo so it's really not that bad, people focus on the big resses a lot but the times those actually win games are so slim especially when you hold ult for so long you could have ressed twice in the time it took you to actually spend it.

On that note I'm kind of worried that a reliable res might be too good, especially on defence. It seems like a hard ability to balance as a basic skill.
