In today's Developers Update video (below), Jeff talked about community topics including community toxicity and how they will be using certain tactics such as monitoring social media sites for "toxic" posts etc. Since the previous announcements of allowing console players to report toxic players, they have gotten great results in preventing such behaviors across the board. One of the biggest character updates will be to Mercy and Junkrat. Mercy will be to her resurrect ability.
When her Ultimate is active, Resurrect is no longer instant, and you don't gain a bonus Resurrect charge. Additionally, Valkyrie now only lasts 15 seconds (down from 20), and the speed bonus that Guardian Angel gets has been reduced by 50%.
According to Blizzards official forums, Mercy's recent Resurrect changes have helped in allowing enemies to have more counter play in dealing with her, but she was able to use Resurrect through Valkyrie enough to largely mitigate the impact of the previous changes." "Additionally, we're toning back the amount of mobility Valkyrie provides through Guardian Angel and reducing its duration to overall reduce the power of this ability.
Junkrat my favorite hero, will be getting a nerf as well. His Concussion Mine will now have a damage falloff. This will be less damage to targets that are further away but will remain the same for close range. Players have always complained of the huge damage Junkrat gets with the mine changes previously. For now, the changes are being tested in the PTR. Check out the developer update video for all the full announcements.
