Overwatch's Mercy Is Getting Massive Changes

Game director Jeff Kaplan issued a developer update today targeting popular support hero and fan-favorite Mercy. Kaplan's comments address how Mercy is played and how they are changing her character.

Mercy's signature ultimate ability that allows her to bring characters back to life is becoming her second ability and changing completely - it's now single target only, and on a cooldown.

Mercy's new ultimate is Valkyrie, which does "a lot of things." When Valkyrie is activated, Mercy can fly, real flying, not boosting or floating. Mercy's entire kit is enhanced when Valkyrie is activated, so you can chain beams to multiple targets to heal them or boost their damage, and her gun also hits harder and shoots faster.

Check out the video below for the full details!

Our Take
Big changes like this one can be divisive, but a flying uber-Mercy sounds absolutely awesome to me. Can't wait to see it in action!
