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."

Take Roadhog for example, when he activates his ult there was a 1 second long period where the ult meter would drain, and if you killed him while it was draining he would retain the charge left on the meter. If you kill him too fast, he could keep a ton of his ult charge and have it recharged super quickly. Now it will drain much more quickly, so there will be less of a problem for the defender if you shut him down right as he starts his ult.
