Hero Balance Changes - Dev Update - 8/24

[Mister36]

Huge Mercy Changes, and the changes to D.Va (Reduced DM time, Micro Missiles, shoot while moving).

• 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.

I believe her invincibility is gone when she rezzes now too.

Rez on a 30 second timer...? Oh god that's going to be ugly for pugs that don't target the freaking Mercy and ones that hide behind everyone...

Previous to this upcoming iteration, good Mercies wouldn't take too much longer than a minute to get an ultimate charged. This is still resulting in less rezzes per minute overall, no matter how you shake it.
