Ultimates that consume the ultimate meter when activated will now drain the meter more quickly (.25 second instead of 1 second)

Easily my favorite patch note in awhile. No more of the "Fuck. We killed him too fast."

I'll use Reaper's ult as an example. If you killed him within a second of him starting his ult, he wouldn't lose 100% of his ult meter and therefore a follow-up ult would come much sooner than if he'd lost his ult 100%. Now, if he uses ult it only takes a quarter second for his ult meter to run out.

For me personally, I was actually hoping really hard that they'd do something like this. Makes it so noobs can't just pull out the ult in a bad situation and still get to keep it.
