Mercy Rework Idea

Mercy Rework

For Mercy’s rework, I believe she should keep the best parts of her kit (ahem Guardian Angel) and have entirely new, helpful abilities.

However, I had a problem deciding whether or not Mercy should keep Rez as part of her kit. Compared to the other supports, her resurrect is what makes her unique. However, I believe it is too powerful, and mass rez was a nightmare for the enemy team and the ally team too. Especially if it went wrong.

Mercy should be designed as a primary healer, with abilities focused on protecting your team, (and yourself) and actually taking more skill than a sneaky resurrect.

Caduceus Staff

Still deals 50 healing per second Still deals 30% damage boost Range increased from 15m to 20m

I feel Mercy should be allowed to heal at a further distance, making it harder for enemies to pin her down.

Lshift/L1- Guardian Angel (Cooldown 2 seconds)

Stays the same because it’s amazing the way it is

(NEW ABILITY) E/L2- Saviour (Cooldown 14 seconds)

For 4 seconds, Mercy is provided with a heightened potential of healing, helping to pocket an ally and save them from death. During this, when healing or damage boosting, she is more effective (dealing more healing and damage boost), as well as making your ally immune to CC. However, while healing/damage boosting, your movement speed drops significantly, leaving you open to attackers.

I think this ability helps provide a boost to Mercy’s normal healing, and can possibly save an ally from death. Without Resurrect, Mercy players need to be much more aware of their team, as they now they have to help the ally in the moment, instead of just resurrecting after when safe enough. I also thought it was necessary to make Mercy more vulnerable in this state, lowering her movement speed when healing, considering how powerful the ability is.

• Healing: 60hp/s (usually 50)
• Damage boost: 40% (usually 30%)
• Movement speed when healing: 4m/s

For Mercy’s Ultimate, I couldn’t decide on one idea, so I made two optional ones.

NEW ULTIMATE 1: CADUCEUS

Description: Mercy plants her healing staff on the floor forcefully, creating a ring of yellow flame. Allies within the 20m radius are healed significantly for 75 healing/second.

NEW ULTIMATE 2: RESURRECT

Description: Once activated, Mercy resurrects up to 3 dead teammates back into the battle instantaneously.

Let me know what you think of this! Honestly, I think it would be great to bring mercy back into the limelight, she’s a great support and deserves some attention.
