What is a Tempo Rez?
A Tempo Resurrect(Rez) is when you Rez a player to keep the team fight in your favor. Here are some examples of how to use it and when to use it.
Note: these notes apply to a team fight where your team engages at once after grouping together either at spawn or at the objective
Pretend your team is in yellow, while the enemy team is in red. The two teams are using the same characters and playing moderately well for your skill level.
Scenario 1: A DPS character dies, leaving a 5 vs 6 match. Do not resurrect them because you only make the match a 6 vs 6, where your team has no advantage.
Scenario 2: Your DPS dies at the same time as the enemy DPS. Resurrect them into a 6 vs 5 match and have a numbers advantage. This scenario also applies to:
Scenario 3: Since resurrect is on a 30 second timer, rez your DPS to ensure an easy team wipe.
Scenario 4: You won this team fight, save your rez.
Scenario 5: Your main tank just died, tell your team to regroup instead of rezing into a 6 vs 6 battle.
Scenario 6: Definitely resurrect. Your team will have advantage behind a barrier.
Scenario 7: The secondary support dies. This is a situational call since rez is now an ability an not an ultimate. Assess the situation and make your own conclusion.
EXCEPTION TO SCENARIO 1:
If your DPS has a high impact ultimate and the enemy team does not have sound barrier/transcendence, resurrect them in order to wipe the enemy team
This has been a guide to tempo rez, the way to play around the Mercy rework.
