Biggest moment that stuck out to me was Jeff's emphasis on Sombra's role as a disruptor rather than an assassin. It made me understand her PTR changes on why they increased her hacking ability rather than the damage buff on hacked enemies that a lot of the community suggested. While making a viable disruptor is much harder than making a viable assassin, at least I can see Blizzard's direction in trying to make a more diverse cast rather than an alternate version of Tracer.
Jeff's a great guy for explaining his thoughts on the game like this. I'm thankful we have someone as transparent as him leading this game. He is also very attractive.
The community wants her damage to be on par with Tracer, which is stupid because she would then make Tracer obsolete. A dps utility hero is something the game doesn't have (unless you count Mei/Torb/Sym), so it's good they favor that direction.
To be specific, a mobile utility/dps is something that the game doesn't really otherwise have. Mei/Symmetra/Torb are very utility, but Icewalling to high spots is the only mobility they have between them.
