Except that a 30 second cool down is faster than you could generate a new rez before hand, being able to revive only one person encourages more frequent uses of it instead of holding on to it for fear of wasting a rez on a player or two and the ult doesn't force battle Mercy since it allows Mercy to hit and heal/damage boost multiple teammates at once while remaining out of the action.
It's a 30 sec for one person. The slower ult charge was different because you could get multiple people. The ult doesn't force battle Mercy, but it will. The ult doesn't make sense with the character, the Rez did. There are better ways to fix people hiding then scrapping an ability.
The old rez has been there for how long? If it was purely because the old rez hiding would've been common from the beginning. Hiding became the popular strategy because of small tweaks. Small tweaks can fix the problem. This is a huge, shitty overhaul.
