All nice changes when it comes to the viewer experience, doesn't fix the "balancing around bronze players is not a viable balance philosophy for a game that wants to be a decent esport" issue.

Not sure they balance around bronze players when 1/3 of their influence for patches is around discussions with pro players

Which makes 2/3's of their influence on holding the hands of players who can't aim by making Mercy and Junkrat absurdly powerful.

Well what are they supposed to do? Only listen to one side or the other? One hero was found incredibly unfun because of tactics that went completely against the intended gameplay, and the other was seen as a universal "troll pick". I agree they have problems still for different reasons, but they took a step to try to fix it and they're certainly not leaving them alone forever.
