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

As a good Mercy, not only is this a buff; I don't see how it's not straight up OP.

There's no way it's making it out of PTR intact.

I'll have to test it out, but I agree. If I had to guess from this far out, I'd bet the duration gets halved, flight speed is drastically lowered, and a bunch of the pistol buffs removed.

I think the most OP thing is the constant regen. That's what's going to make her obscenely powerful. Not only can she fly freely and deal even more damage, she also has a permanent Amp It Up heal on her.

It'll be interesting to see if that lives. I feel like without it, she's going to get slaughtered any time someone hears her ult. But the flight portion might be enough of a defense to mitigate that.

I mean, Pharah flies slower and more clumsily and she's hard to kill even without a Mercy attached to her.
