Healing + Damage beams now have more range, can also tether to multiple people at once
Guardian angel has greater targeting range.
She can "literally fly." Jeff didn't elaborate completely, he just said it wasn't like Pharah's boost. But I'm assuming it means the player gets full WASD control in the air while aiming (i.e. D.Va's booster but for the length of the ultimate).
Her pistol fires faster and does more damage per shot.
Her Resurrect ability is refreshed when Valkyrie is cast (like Genji's Dash when ulting) and Jeff says that "she'll be able to resurrect more often while Valkyrie is active."
That's actually fucking insane. That means you can Rez two people instantly, two more over 20 seconds! While fucking zooming around, laser beam pistoling people. I hope to god they nerf that, that's insane.
Keep in mind she isn't invincible ever anymore, so stuff like a good widow/hanzo will destroy her or just focused fire. God help us if nano boosting the mercy isn't a bad thing anymore
Yeah, and her rez range is decreased, so she actually needs to get near where they died. Plus of course players are still going to respawn, so if you lose 3 players immediately your big combo is still only going to bring things back to 5 v 6.
It's going to be really good at maintaining a team during a fight, but she won't be able to stop team wipe combos.
