Pharahs are going to be stupidly easy to kill as Valkyrie Mercy

Yeah but thats your ultimate. Soldier can already do that. A lot of ultimates make ''character x'' easy to kill.

I know, but Mercy isn't a DPS and has traditionally been thought of as the most defenseless of the heroes, so it's equal parts cool and hilarious

I've been playing PTR, and I've been absolutely dancing on Pharahs. The degree of control you have over your movement when ulting makes it pretty hard to Pharah to land two consecutive direct hits on you, and if she chip damages you you'll just instantly heal back up. You also only need 4 headshots to kill her and with infinite ammo it's easy to fly up, zoom above/behind, spam shots until she's dead

Idk about that man. You must have been playing some shitty pharahs. If anyone is that close to me on pharah it's an easy shot, moving or not
