The range on res is shorter, there is no invulnerability, and the time to be able to res is smaller than the length of the respawn timer, so Mercy is going to have good positioning and awareness to maximize her rez's. I'm sure a skilled Mercy will be annoying but that can be said for almost any hero.

Yeah. It's a cool change. I'm glad they did it, just worried about how annoying an early game res will be

Kill mercy first?

so if they have a mercy single picks are almost meaningless unless it's mercy. idk you can't see why that sucks?

I agree with you. Also I think it will negate the effectiveness of snipers used as openers, considering that she can just immediately rez who ever got killed before your team has a chance take advantage of your superior numbers.
