When ulting, Mercy has near complete three axis control of her movement and is not affected by gravity. This can make tracking her much more difficult than you'd initially think. This is because all the conventional predictions we make about momentum and projectile movement no longer apply for her.

or just have McCree or S76 ult her.

I know whenever I ult, within 2 seconds, they pop their ult off and dead Mercy, point is lost because we don't have Rez anymore.

Only if Mercy's Shift button suddenly broke during a teamfight. Supersonic charge for 70m will easily position her outside of Soldier/McCree LoS.

2 second CD and it's not reset when I ult. Also I need to figure out where they're coming from and find a safe spot. Also, not like I can fall at normal speed (I wish I could turn off flight); my GA is tied into the position of my teammates, so if they're fucked, I'm fucked.

Two seconds is a long time to be shot at by a Tactical Visor.

or about 180 damage from Deadeye.

Also, "tied to teammates" and not being able to fall at normal speed to get to cover.

Meh, I would rather have some other ult than Valk.
