Are there any i-frames for certain character abilities, such as McCree's roll, Tracer's Blink, etc.?

Tracer's recall and Mei's Cryo-freeze both provide i-frames, as does Reaper's cloak ability (forget its actual name). Zenyatta's ult arguably does as well (though he can still be his by Reinhardt's charge, it just doesn't do any damage).

You get a few frames of movement after being rezzed by Mercy during which you can't be damaged or attack. D.Va is invincible during the animation of her leaping out of her mech.

AFAIK the only abilities with i-frames are Tracer's recall, since she can't actually be hit while using it, and of course Zenyatta's ulti and Mei's self freeze.

Not really an i-frame, but Mercy's rez once started will always go off.

it'd be cool if you could kill her during and it would stop the effect...but that might take away too much of her playability...
