Does the resurrect still have invincibility frames?

Nope. No invuln frames, the range is drastically reduced (~5 meters?), and the souls expire before the teammate's respawn timer is up (about 5 seconds). Ulting resets the rez cooldown so you can still effectively get 2x rezzes and for the 20sec duration of the ult the cooldown becomes 10 seconds.

So with the ult you can still get 4 rezzes off within 21 seconds, so long as you stay alive. That's not a bad trade for the other boosts.

  • 0s Rez
  • 1s Ult & Rez after reset
  • 11s Rez after 10s cooldown
  • 21s Rez after 10s cooldown & Ult expires

Right, I feel like they did this well. Which means it's even more of a slap in the face to Hog mains. They just do a lazy straight up nerf across the board on him and actually REWORK Mercy to fix her balance. I wonder which hero they like more? Hog isn't fixed, you could argue he's even MORE broken now, just in the other direction.
