The age of ridiculous rezzes might be finally coming to an end soon.

Idkkkk I'm skeptical. Seems like they're still beating around the bush at solving the real issues. I guess we will have to wait though.

Current Mercy is a real issue though, one that has an impact on Pro play, not just ranked. In my opinion she makes watching matches less fun and much harder to follow.

but I think they're beating around the bush about how to actually fix mercy. I don't think they really get it still... or they get it and they're afraid to upset a very large portion of their community...

Removing rez would require a bigger rework that I assume they either don't want to commit to, or don't want to do at all. It's not a viable option in the short term, and Mercy needs to be tweaked asap.

Honestly, I get the feel that Valkyrie is so powerful ATM that they can pretty much remove Resurrection and Mercy would still be a viable character.

my friend told me once how about make her like wraithking in dota2, give her a change that brings 1 person back alive for mayb short amount of time some seconds and then they actually die.

Who would have thought creating an ability that gives you basicially a 7v6 advantage -if the other team isn't running a Mercy- would be a good idea.

On his 3rd point about toxicity, i'd love to see a weekly summary that I could view anytime.

I'd like to see the results of reports i've placed on players, as well as the amount of times I was reported that week. No need to get specific on the times I've been reported, and tbh I don't think I do get reported. But i'd be nice to see when it was happening, it'd allow me the chance to be introspective about how i've acted recently.

As far as players i've reported, i'd like to see more details. BattleTag, date reported, result of report etc..

This does seem like a fairly generic response from Jeff, and all that probably means is that they haven't actively figured out everything that they want to do to fix the 3 things he mentioned (Mercy, Matchmaking, Toxicity). I have a positive outlook though, Blizzard can usually get to the right thing, and as they've shown with Warcraft 3, they will continue to support a game for a very long time.
