It’d be cool to see my fav OW healer in HotS, it’s also been a while since the last OW hero.
Trait: Regeneration (3 seconds)
- After a short period of time, Mercy begins to regenerate a small amount of health over time (not the most unique)
Alternative trait: Combat Medic (25 seconds)
- Healing allies grants you 10 armour for 3 seconds. Activate this ability to increase armour to 30 for 3 seconds, and regenerate 250 health over 3 seconds.
Passive (for either trait): Caduceus Blaster
- Mercy wields a caduceus blaster (80 dps)(4.00 attack speed) that has 20 ammo. Reload speed takes 1 second.
(Maybe be able to attack while moving ?) - Mercy cannot auto attack while healing tether or damage tether are active.
Q: Caduceus staff - Healing tether (0.5 seconds)
- Select an ally. Attach a healing tether to them and restore 150 health per second (heal triggers every 0.25 seconds) as long as they are in range. Cannot be used while Caduceus staff - damage tether is active.
W: Caduceus staff - Damage tether (0.5 seconds)
- Select an ally. Attach a damage tether to them that grants them 15% increased ability and basic attack damage as long as they are in range. Cannot be used while caduceus staff - healing tether is active.
E: Resurrect
- Charged ability.
- Charged by dealing damage and restoring health to other allies. (15000 ‘points’)
- Select a dead ally. After 1.75 seconds, revive them to full health.
R1: Valkyrie (80 seconds)
- Activate to begin flying, and be able to travel over terrain.
- Healing and damage tether now chains to allies nearby to primary target (excluding Mercy)
- Caduceus blaster has infinite armour for its duration
- Lasts 8 seconds
R2: Heroes Never Die (100 seconds)
- After 0.75 seconds, cause all nearby allies in a large radius to become unkillable and unable to be brought below 25% health.
Z: Guardian Angel (3 seconds)
- Mercy cannot mount. Instead, activate this ability to fly to a nearby ally, alive or dead, in a large radius.
Passive: Travelling towards an ally in a large radius in front of you causes you to gain 10% increased movement speed. Being close to an ally removes this effect.
I know this is all very ambitious and wordy, but this is what I imagine could bring her into the game without making her too similar to other heroes, like Auriel who already has resurrect as an ability (smh).

I know this is all very wordy, and very unbalanced. Suggestions are appreciated and even if she is never added to HotS, it’d be cool to still make a concept for her (I’m studying games art and it would be nice to get an excuse to draw concept art for her in the Nexus)
