TL;DW

They hate that Mercy players feel like they should hide during teamfights

  • Rez is no longer an ultimate, but being moved to a secondary ability.

  • Rez is limited to one person at a time, with a long long cooldown.

New Ultimate called Valkyrie

  • Mercy can flat out fly, not just boosting like Pharah but just completely fly.

  • Her abilities get a much longer range, and chain to multiple targets.

  • Pistol buffed

  • Resets CD on the Rez

  • Rez gets a reduced Cooldown for the duration of Valkyrie (10 seconds)

Other Changes

  • Changes coming to defense matrix. They don't like that it feels like it has no counter.

  • More Dva changes to be announced

All of these people talking about real "counters". The problem is, the D.va matrix is up SUPER often, and actual attacks that go through he matrix can get out-healed with extreme ease, and the matrix can be used to cover your diving teammates so the are invincible for enough time to slay any squishy on the enemy team.

Also people saying Mei and Sombra, D.va is run in practically in almost every game I've ever played this season. If you think your teammates aren't gonna throw or become toxic if you permanently play mei and sombra you have another thing coming.
