Phoenix's self revive utility?

Medics are already feared because they can Revive people, nothing turns the tide faster than a Medic doing their job, and Aura and Sparks, despite being squishy, are hella strong at what they do.

So, no, it doesn’t need to be unstoppable, that went over sooooo well with Nader’s Martyrdom, I’m surprised we haven’t seen threads about that in a while.

People will adapt, just like they did with martyrdom.

I still do get some kills with martyrdom thought… but martyrdom is easier to use than phoenix rez I think.

I think phoenix self revive will be awesome when downed by a nade or a long shot but next to uselless in CC fights…
Unless you’re with teammates and that your team goes on fighting, preventing ennemies to gib you, and giving you time to self revive. This imho will be his true strenght. As long as you teamfight with your mates, you can be very sustainable, since you will be able to rise without the help of your buddies who will be able to keep fighting without worrying about you.

Well, as long as the self revive ability is not in cooldown, that is.

I’m thinking if any action can be performed while Downed, there should be a 2-3 second delay before you get to do it. Gives the killers time to react to it. In exchange, the self-rez may as well be sped up. Because giving the noobtube Merc the ability to reward players for sucking at the game was a really, really good idea.

Healing Pulse? I’m fine with it. If it functioned as an omnidirectional Sawbonez pack instead of a Healing Station, that would make up for the CD and only one in possession. You don’t get to Direct Hit or pick and choose your targets like you do with Sawbonez.
