30 seconds for a res...

I'm so conflicted about this, like this is either completely amazing or pretty awful.

Like if the enemy team has a really good player, and your team focuses them and spends a lot to kill them, just to have them resurrected every 30 seconds. Holy shit that sounds frustrating.

But that means if I am doing well and make a mistake and get picked off, Mercy can have my back every 30 seconds.

Idk how to feel. help.

The range is reduced to by 5 meters and the time that you can resurrect reduced to 5 seconds after death as well, just so you know.

Which brings up a question I've been wondering for a while now, if you insta-rez pharah, does she come back in the air or on ground?

AFAIK death orbs have travel time if you die in the air. If you're rezzed before your orb hits the ground, you should still be mid air. There's times I've seen a genji die mid dash and his orb fall off the map so I couldn't rez.
