Mercy

  • Regeneration increases the Support role's healing passive by 50%, causing Mercy to heal 22.5 HP per second.

  • Guardian Angel can be canceled by jumping, launching Mercy into the direction she is facing. The ability now has a meter determining the speed at which Mercy can be launched. Pressing crouch during Guardian Angel now launches Mercy straight up as well.

  • Orb of Discord's return to Zenyatta when not within line of sight of the enemy has been reduced from 3 to 2 seconds.
