Genji's reflect is way too powerful imo. I don't think it should be able to reflect 95% of all attacks.

It's kinda annoying, because it even blocks Melee attacks despite not reflecting them, so it basically renders him un-attackable with anything aside from AoE damage, and he will swap between that and attacking so oftentimes it's really tough to hit him at all even when you can target him from leaping around all over the place.

Pharah's Mom is the new Sniper support: https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/heroes/ana/
Also: Zenyatta & D.Va changes are incoming, too.
Zenyatta now has +50 Shields, & while in Transcendence he moves twice as fast and does 300 healing a second.

Holy shit they actually did it. These two things right here are game changers. I really like that they back pedaled on this point lol. While some hero stacks (at least on PC ) are really bad , like stacking tons of Torbs etc. Some were just toxic and didn't make certain situations fun or gave the impression that a win was earned.
Namely D.VA and Tracer stacks during overtime/last point clutching. It was barely about skill at that point but rather who could out last the cheese faster and was so horribly annoying, boring and unfun. Trying to swat down a legion of Tracers on King of the Hill that would have won minutes ago otherwise sucks major dick ,and if they win because of it then it's pretty much 100000% bullshit lol.
Similarly the burn out timer thing is also great to slow down the D.VA cheese as well. It really is a really cheesy strat to just walk out 1 D.VA at a time over and over while a 76 pelts you from a mile away to just run the OT and your health. So this minor change should help a ton. I'm really glad they did these 2 changes.

Overall, this whole Patchset has me nothing but overwhelmingly excited (and not just because of all the AWESOME Zenyatta changes either). The D.Va changes are gonna help out my buddy with our tactics a LOT. The team synergy with Ana seems amazing, because it'll give my other friend who's primarily our sniper a Support option, and just... yeah.
Friggin' awesome all around.
I KINDA want to wait until it's released to keep playing and just sink all my time into Pokémon GO until then, because along with the Torbjörn changes, this is gonna be a MUCH better time once those changes are in place.

I adore the D.VA changes. I always just played her as a slightly weaker, but more mobile and beefier Reaper. Now I can actually reliably contribute as as a flex tank , maybe even possibly as a main tank depending on how good the charge rate and toggle feels once in game. If it plays in game as great as it sounds on paper this should really really help out.
Also love the change to her ult. It was always in this weird spot for that last push if you were on defense. If you were the last person up and had to hold for 6 more seconds for revives you were basically not allowed to use your ult as it would require you either dying to stay on point till it popped, or you getting off point till it popped and hoping the enemy team called your bluff.
Now you can pop ult and hold down the fort as well. It should be a really great QOL change for those clutch moments.
Overall I'm happy and really can't wait to get my hands on the new shield and see how much it helps my Kamikaze Balls Deep.VA playstyle.
The soldier 76 change though. Ouch. That spread recovery change if it's not tuned right or purposley tuned in a certain way can be a huge nerf as his bullet spread gets really silly and inaccurate after a 4 bullet burst. At the 5th bullet and above in a spray it's basically a whifcity rifle. So really good 76's fire in 4 round bursts to negate that, if they are accurate and quick they can get a lot of damage down range.
With this change if the recovery rate is especially slow (say it resets on the 2nd bullet on the secondary burst and so on) that would make him incredibly inaccurate or force him to played much much slower as you would have to account for the recovery rate between firing or choosing to spray instead of waiting for the recovery to occur.
Will have to wait and see what it feels like in game, but it could be huge.
also. Shrike Ana skin is amazing. Captain Ana is bae.

Just soo much Yes in this update.
Excited about the Mercy and D.VA buffs, but no increased movement added to D.VA when she fires?
With Ani Amari, I just want to get down all the dialogue she has with other characters, apperently she has lines with Soldier 76, Reaper, Widowmaker, Pharah, Reinheart, Mcree, and Mercy. With Widowmaker she comments on how Gerard was a fool to love someone like her, to which she responds "You know nothing about him."
Very interesting lore wise.
Also a big thing, according to a bunch of people Sombra ISN'T Ana, it's really up in the air at this point but the majority believe this.

New comic about Ana: http://comic.playoverwatch.com/en-us/legacy
Kinda hope that some of the other characters get comics and whatnot still.

Yeah it seems like Overwatch is doing the PTR update > Live update 1 week later cycle as that's how they did it for Competitive mode as well. So this should be the Ana update 
Also highly suggest predownloading it asap on PC as this is also the same night WoW's Legion Pre-Patch will be going live so there is a possibility that the Bnet servers might get flakey.

So I just got the game yesterday and have played it a few times, solo and with friends. I've mostly been playing with D.Va, whom I very much enjoy. I've tried Mei a few times, but really can't get into her play-style. I've also tried healing a couple of games with Mercy, and did pretty well with it the first round, and then felt like I got run over multiple times with everything the other team could throw at me the second time. I also tried one round as Tracer, and while she was fun, I think I will have to practice with her to gain the finesse that playing her seems to require, as she's pretty squishy, too.
Overall, I'm enjoying the game so far, and hope to get better at it over the coming weeks.
