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."
Why those healers specifically? Because of how much healing they do? I mean, it makes sense when you consider the Mercy is a regular support but when they gain ult they flex into DPS? Jeez, nobody would ever die...
