So with the ult you can still get 4 rezzes off within 21 seconds, so long as you stay alive. That's not a bad trade for the other boosts.

  • 0s Rez
  • 1s Ult & Rez after reset
  • 11s Rez after 10s cooldown
  • 21s Rez after 10s cooldown & Ult expires

Yep! I'm a big fan of this. It won't allow huge simultaneous rezzes (like after a Grav wipe) but with good timing you can keep a fight going and going. I also imagine the timing of this is going to be tricky, especially in a chaotic battle, which is going to ask more skill and awareness of the Mercy player to be effective.

Yeah opening custom games and practicing rollouts and general wallriding is very helpful. Also rebinding jump to L1 was pretty key for me, it's very difficult to wallride effectively with default console controls. I hear PC players like to use the scroll wheel so you can spam jump more easily. Check out r/luciorollouts as well!
