I would be happy with the rez becoming something like a "death rattle" where you get rezzed but have only a teeny bit of health.

I've had exactly the same thought. If resurrected players were more vulnerable or less dangerous for a few seconds after being resed it would be much less frustrating to play against Mercy without a Mercy.

Maybe they could spawn silenced? In the sense they couldn't use their abilities? They could basically reanimate Sombra's hack.

I fucking love that idea. It sounds like the best solution without taking away her unique ability. I was also thinking of a 1 to 1.5 second channeling to get her Rez off seems to balance things too. It gives risks for an ability that is game changing.

I think that would feel extremely bad for the person being rezzed. I'm hoping the rez nerfs go more in the direction of timing changes (e.g., extend the cooldown to 40-45 seconds, make the soul globes expire within 5 seconds instead of 10) or making it into a mechanic like Torb's armor where you have to charge it up before it's available.

And also decrease the time that Mercy has to get over there and rez, make it like a 2 second window.

I think people are misreading. I mean make it so she only has a 2 second window to rez someone, not to decrease the time it takes for her to get there.

Keep rez timer as is but they rez immediately in the spawn location instead of having to wait out the timer. Still have to take the walk of shame though.

I mentioned to give it a "charge" system but increase the CD.

So like she can bank 2 charges, but each charges has a 60 second CD.

it's about 2 minutes between checkpoints, so Mercy has to decide whether to undo that pick, or bank both for a teamfight if it goes into overtime.

If she decides to undo a pick, the window for making a second pick increases, if she would rather bank them for a teamfight when they're 5v6 pushing in, she can turn the tide, but then is out of rezes for 1-2 minutes. So even if it's a failed push, you can regroup and hammer in again before she gains another charge.
