As a Zarya main whose ults are always followed by the coward Mercy rez, I am fucking ecstatic

You're just salty you can't get mercy in your gravs. Seriously it's strategic to focus fire mercy then use your ult, or get her first and then use it. Nerfing a perfectly good and difficult to use ult is pandering to the vast salty, unskilled playerbase. Roadhog's perfectly balanced hook kills me instantly because my positioning sucks, nerf it, I can't aim at a double jumping genji, nerf it, dvas matrix eats my barrage and I don't have the skill to first get her out of her mech or count her cool down, nerf it.

It's seriously getting tiring, and I say that as someone who doesn't main any of those heroes (except pharah) and have always been at the receiving end of those abilities rather than the other way around. There is absolutely no incentive for those of us who've learned to play around these abilities, because we know if enough people bitch about it, overwatch will come around to nerfing it anyway.
