Is Mercy slow?

New to Mercy and I love the feel of the movement, but as I'm getting better she can feel slow sometimes. Like, I'll look at myself in a kill cam after getting head tapped by Cass mid GA and be like "damn, I could've hit that shot too". It just feels like once a hitscan is aiming at you, using GA makes you a training bot for tracking.

Mainly asking cause this will let me know if I'm just not making full use of my mobility, or if I just need to lock in with my positioning lol. It's not every game this happens, just every now and then when I queue an actual decent hitscan player they feel inescapable.

Help With Psyspam vs Trickroom

My teams pretty simple: get up psychic terrain, spam expanding force while stat diffing my opponents, win epically. The issue? This team kind of just loses on the spot against trick room teams, since my team is naturally super fast and not that bulky.

I'm not too sure how to beat it, since trick room almost feels guaranteed against hard trick room teams.

If they start farig & Incin I can't fake out, I could try to OHKO it, but it could be sashed, or Incin could fake out the OHKOer unless I send out 2. I could try to taunt/imprison, but they could run mental herb. I tried whirlwind, but it kinda just delays the problem rather than solving it. And in the end, even if I get past farig, they very well could have a second or even third trick room setter- and now it's back to square one.

I had the idea of running ditto, who can either copy farig and double trick room, or copy their trick room sweeper and try to win every speed tie, but I don't have time to test that rn lol I'll try later. Mega Gengar is also an idea since I trap them into farig, but same thing as ditto.

I can edit 2/6 of my pokemon without hard changing my team, and I could do 3 if I really had to with some alterations, so I'm def down to just run a mini anti Trickroom squadron if I have to, but beating this move takes my team from usable to solid.

Anyone have any cool magic bounce interactions? [Mechanics Question]

Been trying to make mega Absol work, and magic bounce seems like it'd be interesting but I can't think of any cool strategies or techs, so I'm curious if anyone knows any weird or useful interactions, like the parting shot one. Doesn't even have to be for absol btw, and its fine if it's straight trash or borderline unusable, just any fun fact or super niche strat that involves the ability
