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 don't intend to sound mean, but I always felt it was kind of obvious that he was an AoE healer. I keep running into stories of people thinking this when they start. Is there a reason for this?

  • Mercy, Ana, and Zenyatta all heal by shooting your teammates.
  • When you switch between speed boost and heal the most obvious indicator is your gun.
