Overwatch 2 players urge Blizzard to patch Mercy's revive ability

This debate flared up on October 18 when a dedicated Mercy player shared a video in which they managed to revive a Soldier 76 despite obstacles, like a Reinhardt shield and executing the ability from an elevated position.

While impressive, this incident sparked outcry within the Overwatch community on social media.

This week marks a significant shift in sentiment among Overwatch 2 fans, with even devoted Mercy supporters acknowledging the pressing need to reevaluate her revive ability.

Many Overwatch players responded to the video by labelling the ability as "super inconsistent" and urged Blizzard to address it, with a particular focus on making it line-of-sight dependent.

This demand gained momentum after players observed the considerable distance the Mercy in the video covered and the perfect execution of the revive.

While some defended the ability, they also conceded that changes might be necessary. Others applauded the Mercy's skill in the video but not everyone was convinced that exceptional mechanics were required.
