I'm curious how much of the rebalancing is in anticipation of the Hanzo update. It's undoubtedly going to shake up a lot of things, and I have a hard time believing they're doing these updates so that they can do them all over again in a few weeks. Nonetheless, just looking at how it affects the game now, I like these changes. If you check just about any Overwatch hero stats tracking place, you'll see that D.Va gets played more than almost anybody (I think Mercy still takes the cake here, though). Meanwhile, Mei still gets relegated to like last resort or niche picks. I'm not saying every character needs equal playtime, but when you see the kind of massive disparity between certain heroes -- especially compared to their peers in their role -- it's indicative of a need for some kind of change.
