Mercy will soon be shouting loudly over the battlefields of Overwatch. Because heroes never die – even if they are not resurrected.
In Overwatch, there are a number of memorable voicelines that players remember and that immediately trigger an association even for non-players of the shooter. Everyone knows Tracer’s “Cheers, love. The cavalry is here!” or McCree’s “The hour has come…”.
However, hardly any voiceline comes close to Mercy’s “Heroes never die!” or “Helden sterben nicht!”. That is practically the one sentence that all players instantly associate with Mercy.
Since Mercy’s rework, the line is rarely used, only occasionally when she resurrects a single player. As a result, the voiceline loses its power and significance. You only hear it when your character is right next to Mercy.
Mercy’s most popular voiceline will be part of the Ultimate again
Players miss this voiceline very much, as in the forums it is often demanded that Mercy should shout “Heroes never die!” loudly over the battlefield again.
In the official forum, Michael Chu, the lead writer of Overwatch, has now announced that they want to meet the fans’ wishes.
In the future, when activating Valkyrie, Mercy will again shout “Heroes never die!” in addition to the slight variations that appear with different skins (for instance, with the Halloween witch, it will be “My servants never die!”).
However, there is still no exact timeframe for when this will be implemented. Whether this change will make it into the next patch, which also includes the new hero Brigitte, is uncertain.
Have you missed the voicelines? Or do you think they no longer fit Mercy’s new ultimate and she should get different ones?
