those mercy changes are FIRE. I hated the "hide and res" part of her character.

I usually play with Mercy. This looks sick

Those changes are going to cause more battle Mercy's out there
Battle Mercy's are gonna exist regardless, that's less of a kit thing, and more of a user error problem. If you're using Mercy to pew pew, you shouldn't be kicked out of teams. What it does do however, is make it easier for good healers like me to avoid the enemy group while looking cool.
I will say this though, they are shifting her to shoot more to drop cooldown, so no Mercy is gonna be harder to play because of the one rez/shoot for more rez tactic.

They changed the characters I play. I don't know how I feel about this, but this will definitely change the meta. Also, I don't think Mercy should have that autofly ability during that ultimate.

Its not too bad for Dva she just got a proper "You're dead now" button for Snipers and Healers. Giving her a quasi feel of her old chase-down self. Hog is a "soft taunt" tank now. Pure defense and bullet sponge. Not too bad when you consider that his chain is gonna be used for pulling people into groups now. So he's more MOBA-ish. Which works for him.
Mercy is the big problem. It will force people to play battle Mercy for those consecutive rez's. Why is that a huge problem? People can't aim as it is with DPS. So more single rez's per time shes in the fight and landing shots....so they tried to make her Auriel from Heroes of the Storm...except in a moba, characters have auto attacks....so I don't see this Mercy doing any good but dying a lot to Soldier or Reaper or a damn turret.
Onto that....now it makes Torb far more viable on both attack and defense. She's a sitting duck essentially, feed dat Tuuuuurrret.

So many people want to play Dps...
So many people suck at aiming.
Honestly more beam characters need to be put in the game. I can't trust healing some moron who thinks he's the best Doomfist, or the hottest McCree.

You were more than likely playing her wrong.
The hide and res tactic was only on specific maps and usually on defense - Anubis B.
Most good/top tier Mercy's like myself, boost dmg or are busy healing. The hiding to res thing wasn't really advised, especially in 2CP and Payload. It was common on Hanamura and Anubis B, those of course being known as pure cancer maps, had other problems to deal with. Also you'll still be hiding with the new Mercy, as hovering like a moron while getting targeted by every dps/turret in the game isn't going to be fun.
More battle Mercy's isn't smarter, its lazier and bad for team work. I don't want the healer focusing mostly on DPS...there's an entire bracket for dps, and many other toons in other brackets dps as well.
