Protection Suzu is an AoE team cleanse and invulnerability ability. Kiriko has better utility and team enhancing abilities.Her insane mobility is compounded by the fact that she can also climb walls so nice Blizzard To put it mildly, Kiriko is more of a guardian Angel support than Mercy. The CD is longer for Swift Step but honestly a 7 second CD is hardly long at all when taken at face value.As previously mentioned before, it also self-cleanses which just enhances Kiriko’s survivability.Unlike Mercy’s GA, there’s barely any risk or downsides. Instead of a predictable vertical path, Kiriko is just teleported instantaneously for the same distance.Kiriko’s Swift Step is literally a better version of Mercy’s GA.Her pistol could, theoretically deal more damage over a course of a match than Kiriko but she would have to give up healing to do so. No surprises there… But a comparison can be made about how Kiriko can heal and damage at the same time whilst Mercy has to chose between the two. In comparison, all other supports heal 15HP/s after 1.5 seconds. Meanwhile, Mercy, who was previously the only hero to have a passive self-heal, heals 22.5HP/s after not taking damage for 1.5 seconds. Swift Step cleanses her of most debuffs and Protection Suzu cleanses and heals (50HP). Kiriko’s sef-healing capabilities overshadow anything Mercy has to offer. In other words, one of Mercy’s only niches has been taken. Obviously Mercy has an auto-lock but Kiriko’s heals are just homing missiles at this point - they’re not exactly aim intensive. That’s 130HP/s of consistent and reliable heals. Kiriko’s Healing Ofuda does 13HP per paper and she can fire one burst per second or around a second.
