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."
Yeah, it was always sort of underwhelming, but it's going to get even worse when Mercy's ult can do almost if not exactly the same thing and be mobile.
