Overwatch’s Mercy is getting massive changes and losing her mass resurrection

Blizzard announced massive changes to one of Overwatch‘s most popular characters, Mercy. The healer is losing her ability to resurrect all dead allies nearby.

Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan explained the reasoning behind the change in the above developer update. Mercy’s resurrection ability was very powerful, but not all that fun. It encouraged Mercy players to basically hide until they could use it, while it would frustrate the other team since it could undo an impressive play.
