I know this may be shocking to some people but there is a solid counter to mass ress…

And there is a counter to mine field.

Its pretty self explanatory.
There were countless counters to mass res. It wasn’t removed because it had no counters, it was removed because DPS mains got salty man-baby tears when their ults got countered.
DPS ults killed everyone, res brought them back.
Res brings everyone back, DPS ults kill everyone.
The two are interchangeable and counter each other, it just depends on which order they’re used.

No, it was actually removed because both Mercy players and regular players were getting annoyed at the fact that whenever a team fight started it would be more beneficial for the Mercy player to hide instead of partake in the fight and then turn up when a few people died.
I know that it’s fun to Sh#t on DPS players but at least try to make it sound believable

And you’re just a whiny Mercy man who can’t accept that your ult was changed because it was overpowered and annoying to play against to anyone who isn’t a Mercy main/obsessed Mercy enthusiast.
Alright so I hope you see what I did there, so stop with the crap you’re trying to push.
The facts that disprove the myth that Mercy’s old rez is a direct one to one comparison to a DPS character’s ult is out there and I’m not interested in getting into that right now, I just saw your sad little attempt at pushing all the blame off of Mercy’s broken old rez and shifting it to the supposed “whiny dps players”.
Edit: Oh and OP, minefield would be as much of a counter to mass rez as hit scan is a counter to pharmercy, it would most likely be a soft counter at most. So yeah good luck with that.

Mass res wasn’t the worse thing within overwatch. Yea it could shut down entire plays, But not once have i ever hid away from my team to res everyone, The old ult was best used on 1-2 people not entire teams, Meaning that you could still stay with your team and only need to ult when there’s a large team push.
And i’ll be honest here, It was DPS players who made mercy’s ult change. And there are some who are trying to get it nerfed even further than it already is!

Well, in reality, I’m not whining at all, I’m just stating why the change was done and I accepted the change the moment that it happened. I’m not bothered that mass res was taken away because it was replaced by Valk which is also fine. I’m just aware that they were forced to “fix” something that wasn’t broken to begin with in order to appease whiny DPS mains as Jeff stated in his video at the time. He said something like it doesn’t feel fun to the DPSers that their kills get denied. Of course he and anyone with sense understands that kills are always being denied in this game and that the entire game revolves around unbalanced abilities going off. In many cases it’s an illusion of skill where there is actually very little, but it feels skilful and that equals enjoyment.
Anyway, I know this, anyone with sense knows this and when I point it out, lesser people like yourself assume that I’m a whiny Mercy longing for her precious mass res which couldn’t be further than the truth. I’m just pointing out why something that wasn’t broken was “fixed” to begin with. There was nothing wrong with mass res except the perceived unfairness of it… in a game full of unfair abilities… in a game that is DEFINED by its unfair abilities.
You get me? I’m above your low level “DPS camp” and “Mercy camp”, I just tell it like it is.

Okay so I’m glad you cleared up that you’re not another “bring back mass rez” cultist, sorry that I supposed you were.
And you are saying that they fixed something that didn’t need any fixing, then you said that they did it because the DPS players whined so that’s the reason they did it, which you have no proof of (Unless the devs came out and said ‘the dps mains whined so we just did this for them and we don’t care about anyone else’ or something). And even if the dev team did change that because many complained, then logically that changing isn’t necessarily unneeded.
And also, you know that there exists tanks (that can also kill very easily), and there exists supports that don’t play Mercy that support those tanks who support the DPS players, they all work together – they all had to go through the constant “die in one spot and get mass rezzed in groups of 2-5”. And to say that only the ones playing the DPS role were the ones that complained, as you can see, is very unrealistic.
PS: I do agree that there is too many unfair aspects of Overwatch, but that doesn’t mean that it should be that way – it doesn’t mean that the devs should embrace that.
Mass rez trades 1 ult for 2 thats to op and more so after they took mass rez they incressed the cooldown to all ults so they are use’d less making mass rez even more broken if it ever returns and i hope that it won’t.
Mercy is still THE BEST SUPPORT.
Now casting rez to rez up to 3 people for a ult sounds fine but anything more then that is just wrong. And to me rezing 1 player is OPop since it stop’s all the chises or lets a player live after they make a mistake to get kill’d.
As a support player I absolutely hated the old Mercy. She is fine now though.
Mercy main here. 120% agree with Atrophy, it was aggravating to be forced to play hide and seek otherwise you were a BAD mercy. Team mates would get angry at me for healing them and blowing my cover, actually counting on yoloing then dieing so i can rez them after. It was just an ugly lame way of playing.
Losing her mass rez was the best thing to have happened to her, she got valk and slingshot in exchange allowing her to be unshackled and fly around and be sooo mobile and fun… Like damn i can actually do all sorts of fancy dodging and play endor speeder bike chase with flankers now.
RIP mass rez and may you never return.

guess what ? we dont have hammond and didnt have hammond in OW live
mass rez ,as much as i liked it because it’s made mercy fun to play , was super OP
And there’s an honest man.
This stereotype was believed by many because of a certain OWL clip where players were asked which hero (or ultimate. Not exactly sure) they’d want removed from the game. Everyone said Mercy.
Bring back mass res because one hero counters it hard that isn’t even live yet?
He’s going to be put on live servers soon though lol. What is this argument?
That the PTR seems to not mean anything because heroes are released from there OP to extremes, so even if Hamster can counter mass rez effectively now doesn’t mean much in the long run if previous heroes are anything to go on.
You really think Blizzard is going to nerf Hammond’s ult; one of the few, pretty balanced ults? Okey dad
