Pocket's Barrage description/tooltip references other player's character when spectating.

Recently while I was playing Warden in a standard match, I was spectating Pocket as I was dead. While I was inspecting Pocket's abilities, I noticed that for their Barrage ability it would reference Warden instead of Pocket like it should. Small issue, but it did have me confused and needed to ask the Pocket player for clarification, who said that it looks normal to them.
 
This is because the game reads the {s:hero_name} variable of the currently active player, where it shouldn't. Applies to all strings that utilize this variable in the citadel_heroes file. Exemplified below is an old screenshot of Bebop's ult mentioning that Paige gets healed for the hyperbeam's damage, because I was playing Paige at the time.
