Pretty substantial buffs to the characters that most need them.

D.Va defense matrix changes seem really good.

Will Ana be the character with the lowest occurence of :potg:

? Someone like Zenyatta has more damage potential than she does (and the occasional mass heal through ultimates).

D.Va's new matrix should make her a lot more Reinhardtish when it comes to protecting the team, which is not the change I expected but I'm eager to see it in action.

I'm surprised no one has made the connection before. Truly, George Lucas is a master of his craft.

As someone who's only good at Dva and Lucio this is great.

The no headshot thing is interesting, makes more sense than the mercy enormous headshot hitbox. Also, as someone with bad aim it's nice that she fits into the whole focus on macro play/poaitioning over pure mechanics that most supports have, with a twist.

Please press Z instead of doing this. The icon is very useful.

Yeah I always do that. Doesn't help with a really bad Mercy. I solo queue and I think often there are Mercys who are pocketing a friend and just refuse to move off him.

Yeah--this seems huge! Between this and the McCree range boost it looks like maybe I'll be able to pick McCree (who I like a lot more) as my Pharah counter from now on.

Yeah it's a pretty serious nerf to S76. I was just starting to get good with feathering and S76 can really drop people fast at range if you feather properly. Without that he's not nearly as enticing since he'll be able to damage Pharah enough to make her go heal but not enough to just shoot her down. I don't think the McCree buff brings him up to where S76 was so it'll be interesting to see if Pharah just got a whole lot better, again.

My hot take on Ana is that she looks like she'll be Mei tier, probably a bit worse than Mei.

Good thing she's an Ancient Egyptian and not an Arab, otherwise it could easily be construed as a mite racist

D.Va's new ultimate is absolutely terrifying and is the definition of a point clearer. If you have even a modicum of skill at lobbing it, you can easily take out 2-3 people at once.

I assumed the delay was very small and added only so you can't macro his M1 to keep perfect accuracy.

zenyatta/ana sounds like a sick counter to the tanky burly ball of healing roadhog/mercy/soldier/lucio meta. mercy's damage boost helps too.

Someone pointed out that a boosted McCree now does 210 damage on a headshot and actually has decent range.

She can CC people and turn her own teammembers into killing machines, can deal aoe damage and healing (at the same time?) and can kill a reaper in 3 shots

is good

obviously her big weakness will be mobility...
