HERO UPDATES
Mercy
Resurrect
-
Mercy can now attempt to resurrect teammates who die over environmental death pits
-
When resurrecting, the resurrect marker will now freeze in place for the duration of the resurrection.
-
Dev Note: Previously, if a teammate died over a death pit their resurrect marker was hidden and fell into the pit. Now, Mercy will see their resurrect marker and can resurrect before it falls to the bottom.

Holding the ability button for resurrect while it’s on cooldown will now attempt the resurrect once the cooldown finishes
