Tigole made this post the other day:
People on r/COW are assuming it might be Tracer, but I think it might be D'Va that is getting the rework. I'm pretty sure they don't like how when D'Va gets demeched you can stagger a team so easily, and then they can use this opportunity to get rid of defense matrix entirely. They'll get rid of her demech mechanic and get rid of DM and replace it with something else. The D'Va horde makes a huge stink anytime she gets changed so it would make sense he would want to keep it under wraps if they are reworking her again.

If you honestly think Birgette is as good as Moiria you must feel moriia is pretty crap. Even if Brigettte IS OK at first people are already realzing you just don't run directly into her and she turns into elizaeth (the health box dispenser from BS infinite)
Interesting I am being asked to main Heal Mercy more often then any other support at both Silver and near GM. At the end of the day that Mobility + Targeted strong consistent healing is tough to beat. Even with a weak ult. I find myself using the dmg boost more and more also. Lucio/Zen/moiria splitting third healer pretty evenly although we often just use me as single healer mercy. I feel overall people have gotten better at countering and dealing with the offensive abilities of Moria. You get far less less with her o a competent team now.
Overall I've seen a lot of Winston, Bastion, Reaper, DVA, Junk, a bit more Zarya,. Many games i am asked to dive in with Winston/DVA sing DMg boost in large part to rape the back line. This works super well at lower levels while the Bastion/shield tank moves up cmore slowly and bring the rape train while they scrambling from chaos.
Had a crazy match today i hope i can find a video, we took points on Anubis with 6 mins lefts , they took both points with 1 :30 left. They followed up by taking both points n the 9 secs they had left.
Then we did a an OWL rampage point beating where we took both points in approx.. 34 secs. Before holding the final minute and winning.
I hope i can fine my clip of it, as the 30sec clip is literally an entire match lol.

I saw an interview with Surefour and another with IDDQD where they talked about Brigitte.
They both said close to the same thing. They don't know if she's going to change the meta, but has the potential to do so. They also both think she is too strong and will be tweaked.
IDDQD mentioned that the only reason they are keeping her on QP for so long is Blizzard wants to get a lot of numbers on her. That seems to line up with Blizzard buffing Reaper and Mei in case a tank meta starts, I think they are afraid if the impact that Brigitte could bring.
Surefour outright said her ultimate might be one of the best in the game, while IDDQD said it was very strong and that he prefers armor to shield.
It seems to be in line with what a lot of people are saying, she's too strong...but might not necessary have an impact on the meta simply because dive will still be too strong.
I'm really curious to see how Season 10 will play out, so many changes coming for that season, Brigitte, D'va and Zen nerf, Reaper and Mei buffed. I think the Reaper buff might end up being the most impactful, more than Brigitte.

DVA is absurd, I think she's the sleeper OP that everyone knows about, but she doesn't get a lot of traction for some reason. She has probably the most inflated kit in the game right now: takes a while to kill, high mobility, have to kill her twice, can nullify some ultimates completely, can shut down most others, provides peels and protection, actually has higher burst than tracer which is easier to land. She needs tuned.
I have to say I just don't get the hype with moira. Once you get to a rating where DVAs actually eat her orbs and people can actually land head shots and she can't just run into a team, her healing sustain just doesn't seem enough to merit taking her over zen, lucio with the engage, or mercys throughput

D'va got nerfed, not sure if it's enough. She'll most likely be tweaked again at some point. I personally would like it if Defense Matrix didn't eat Zarya, Mei and Tracer's ultimate.
I do agree Moira is not as strong as she was at the beginning. D'va eats her orbs constantly now, Genji will deflect it a lot more, and people in general just have gotten better at avoiding the orb. I know my damage in general is lower than it used to be. I still get a lot of elims, but I do less damage overall. She's still a very strong healer though, and her healing resource is rarely an issue to be honest. All in all she still is a strong hero, not just as dominating as she was at the start.

Another big thing I am focusing on having everyone working on it switching off to counter the other team. For instance. in some games Mercy is insane simply because they lacka strong Hitscan and great dive option. You can win games simply by outhealing every single fight as you almost can't die unless you badly screw up.. Sometimes you need to swap to Bastin to win a battle of barriers. ect.. ect.. Sometimes we just dive in the first point on Volkys with Winston, DVA, and Mercy...

Yes he was, actually considered to be one of the best D'va player. There's a rumor that he punched the coach.
