Overwatch Brings Huge Changes to Mercy, Resurrections Nerfed, New Ultimate
Mercy is about to get a huge overhaul, and her changes are splitting the Mercy community in two. [...]
Mercy's New Ultimate: Valkyrie
We all love the Valkyrie skin, and now Mercy is transforming into a Valkyrie proper. The team at Blizzard knew that they'd have to replace the resurrection ult with something big, and Valkyrie is a really powerful ability.
When you activate the Valkyrie ultimate, Mercy will be able to fly -- like, really fly. In addition to the enhanced mobility, everything Mercy does is enhanced and improved. Her healing and boosting beams are powered up and have a further reach. They'll also chain, so if teammates are near each other, you'll be able to heal or boost all of them at once. Triggering Valkyrie will also reset your resurrection ability timer, and your gun is given a significant damage boost.
Pretty rad, right? So while you'll no longer be able to resurrect your entire team with the tap of a button, all of these changes should make for a much more active Mercy playing experience. What do you think? Are you excited to try out her new style, or do you wish they would have left Mercy alone?
