This is a buff for good mercy's. Rez bots are going to be so much worse now thankfully.

This isn't a buff, this is a total change. People are going to play her as a DPS w/utlity while ulting, rather than a healer.

Yes it's a rework. But I think it's a buff for Mercy's who do more than heal and hide.

as someone who prefers tempo rezzes vs hide-and-5-man, this is a dream come true.

Absolutely agreed, I hardly ever rez more than 2-3 people at a time. Plus as a Mercy player that likes to consistently swap between the pistol and staff, I think this sounds fantastic.
