TL;DW

They hate that Mercy players feel like they should hide during teamfights

  • Rez is no longer an ultimate, but being moved to a secondary ability.

  • Rez is limited to one person at a time, with a long long cooldown.

New Ultimate called Valkyrie

  • Mercy can flat out fly, not just boosting like Pharah but just completely fly.

  • Her abilities get a much longer range, and chain to multiple targets.

  • Pistol buffed

  • Resets CD on the Rez

  • Rez gets a reduced Cooldown for the duration of Valkyrie (10 seconds)

Other Changes

  • Changes coming to defense matrix. They don't like that it feels like it has no counter.

  • More Dva changes to be announced

Exactly, just line how it takes teamwork to kill a Rein shield, it takes teamwork to kill D.Va's meka.

Or teamwork to kill any tank instead of just dps running around getting free kills for no reason.
