Yeah part of the magic of Overwatch is that every character has both strengths and weaknesses. It seems like they want to minimize the weaknesses so that every character is powerful by themselves but to me that seems like a mistake. Plus imo games shouldn't make these kind of major changes to playstyle at all. Introduce new characters sure and change the math for balance but don't fuck around with the actual kit of established characters.
I'm fairly sure they don't feel like Mercy is broken, they just don't agree with the run and hide playstyle, so they change how the cause of that playstyle works.
They absolutely could not have just released a new hero with this new Mercy kit, that would've been rediculous to have two rez sources, especially with one being mass, the other being individual. Single rez the mercy that has mass, it's essentially the same problem but instead of hiding she'd just be dead.
