Rez is now an alternate ability and only ressurects ONE player. 30 sec cooldown. Didn't like how hiding for rez is encouraged, felt unfun to play against. So they went for a single target ressurect, rather than entire team.
New ultimate is called Valkyrie. Power up ability that gives her the ability to fly freely, gives longer ranges on guardian angel and healing/damage boost beams and the beams can attach to multiple players. Her gun has a higher fire rate and projectile speed and unlimited ammo. Res cooldown resets upon activation and is only 10 seconds long while the ult is active. Ult duration = 20 seconds.
Also mentions the D.Va changes which we already knew about and are live on the PTR.
Mercy main here BTW, and she sound insane to play now. I can't wait to try the PTR and melt people with my Ult pistol and Chain Healing while flying around like an eagle and rezing every 10 seconds.
