As we are all aware, Mercy is just kinda boring to play as or against and has been for some time
Counter point: we are not all aware that Mercy is kind of boring to play as or against and has been for some time. Because it isn't true.
If you think Mercy is kind of boring to play maybe the better way to look at it is: "Mercy is boring for ME to play" and just don't play Mercy. No one is forcing anyone to play Mercy and from what I understand she gets banned a ton in comp (which I don't play), so what's the big deal? I find Mercy extremely fun to play because she forces you to pay attention to everything going on to be able to help the team and keep yourself alive. You're constantly making quick decisions out of the blue as situations change. There are all kinds of calculations a good Mercy needs to make in their head as to how much risk to put themselves in, etc. Honestly I kind of consider her a character for control freaks because she can give you much more precise control as to how to influence the game with making decisions as to who to heal/buff/rez or not. That's pretty stimulating, but ymmv if you are just playing her as a passive healer or buffer. A good mercy should be actively engaging with the events of the game. How is that boring?
And, to be honest, if you think Mercy is kind of boring to play against... who cares? It's not up to other players to play characters or in a way that makes you happy or engaged. You gotta find that in yourself.
Maybe I've missed them, but why do we never see as many posts about changing Widowmaker? We see them, but it's not NEARLY as many as on Mercy or some other characters. I mean isn't she boring to play as or against? She just sits in the back and plinks people. So exciting! C'mon.

Resurrect would essentially be unusable past Plat if it required line of sight throughout the full cast time. The average number of resurrections that high elo players get per 10 is around 3-4, and the majority of these are ones that are only able to be pulled off due to Mercy weaving behind cover.

I don't think Mercy is boring to play, play against, or has a bad design.
"...give one of the most well known characters in the game a proper kit."
She heals, damage boosts, has a sidearm, is top 3 best mobility in the game, and has a unique and game-warping ability. What part of that isn't a proper kit?
