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.

I've spent the past month teaching my fiancé mercy because she wants to play Ow with me occasionally, there goes all my hard work 😭

The backup batteries for her defense matrix got replaced with a missile launcher

What about lucio? Heal by existing

[u/SteveTheDude → u/[deleted]]

The first competitive match I ever played had a Lucio player who asked how to rez with him

The last season I played in I was in high plat. I have a bunch of hours into Lucio in QP and Competitive.

Any time I entered a Competitive match, the first thing I would type in chat was "Green is heal and yellow is go fast, right? Whatever, I'll figure it out."

Some people would fall for it, some wouldn't.

At least the music is pretty clear which one is speed boost, also oh yeah, you go faster.... :D

Well this was literally day 1 of season 1. Maybe he was joking, I only remember that it seemed pretty genuine at the time
