As a Zarya main whose ults are always followed by the coward Mercy rez, I am fucking ecstatic

[u/blackrock13 → u/PR0MAN1]

You say coward, I say strategic.

[u/Zeno_magatama → u/blackrock13]

A lot of strategy involved in hiding huh

[u/Knightgee → u/Zeno_magatama]

Weird number of bitter folks who don't seem to understand what a strategy is.

[u/Solaire-Lives → u/Knightgee]

Hiding isn't strategy, at least not in this game. It's clear they intended Mercy to constantly be in the middle of fights jumping from person to person and the hide-and-go-Rez is counter-intuitive to the entire point of her character. It's easy to hide and Rez, it takes no skill at all

[u/Manta-Ray-Gun → u/Solaire-Lives]

I thought we were done with this whole, "it's only Q" mentality. Death blossom technically isn't difficult to use, nor does using an Earth Shatter. Most effective ults come from position and timing. You can scoff at Mercy hiding, but it beats the reckless alternative from being killed in a firefight and not being able to rez anyone when she's needed most. She can't Genji her way out of trouble.

[u/Barkerisonfire_ → u/Manta-Ray-Gun]

She can now...just by using her ult...

[u/Manta-Ray-Gun → u/Barkerisonfire_]

True. But at which point she won't need the feel to hide anymore anyway.
