Na the rumor is his drop off damage is half of his normal damage, which is still 70 probably. I don't think anyone has really tested, it's annoying to test cause you need 2people and a lot of standing there doing nothing. And Blizzard is lazy as shit with patch notes. From the streams I've watched, he definitely looks dead as a sniper. He's still insanely dumb at short/medium range though with the stun into alt fire > roll > alt fire.
Symmetra buffs are definitely solid. Her sentry cd went down a good amount, more than I thought from my initial play. You can get 6 sentries like 20secs into a game(assuming you're on defense and you drop sentries where the enemy spawn so it takes a while to run there) and you can move them pretty easily too now. The shield change is nice QoL and useful when your whole team gets wiped and you need to rebuff everyone quickly, but in general play it often doesn't matter since you rarely need to shield more than every 6secs anyway when someone who died comes back. Though with D-Va, you sometimes do(you can shield the mech, then shield her when it breaks and shield the new mech when she calls it down). I kinda feel like I'm building ult faster too but might just be from killing more people with sentries due to covering more areas with them.
D-Va is fun but potentially a bit underpowered. Her ult is pretty easy to avoid in general and her damage is only good at short range. She can be insanely annoying to kill though with the mech calldowns. Like all you need is to tag someone for damage(not even kill them) with your ult to instantly get a new mech, and her human form is relatively strong considering. I think her main issue is the slower movement speed when firing, she needs to fire at stuff pointblank, but you can't keep up with anyone since you slow down, makes it hard. And supressing fire factor is way less important when people can just stand in it and take very little damage because you're not close enough.
Mei and Genji both look strong as fuck though.
From what I understand she also lost the ability to crit on headshots with rockets. Since she was usually above people she could crit fairly often.

This was last week and only one her ult, which was dumb to begin with since the ult kills people regardless.

Yeah don't think you could ever crit with rockets outside of ulti. I've never seen it happen and I play her pretty often, but have seen it happen with ulti.
D.VA probably my favorite hero that was added, she's awesome really well designed. I'd like to see a slight change that would make her a bit more fun; if you launch into the air with her lshift and land ontop of someone it pins them kind of like Reinhart's charge. Less damage but would still be a cool thing.

Played D Va at Blizzcon and was getting MVP most games I did. When other team is bunched up defending id L shift dash into em hit the ult right away. Would usually result in 3-4 kills and would be able to ult again right away and get the mecha back. Might just be that people playing at Blizzcon are trying the game for the first time and suck but it felt broken good in those games.

The ult is fairly easy to avoid if you're paying attention, unless you're CCed, it's kinda like Hanzo's ult but even easier to avoid I think. On the other hand, it forces everyone to get the fuck away from it, which is great for zoning people from points and shit, which for a tank is great. And obviously if anyone forgets to move/gets stunned/knocked into it, it's basically an instant kill.
But yeah I like her. I kinda wish you could fire and block shots at the same time though, and kinda wish her charge was stronger in terms of effect if you rush into someone. It seems to push them slightly and not even sure it does damage. It should do some damage and probably knock further.

Her charge is already REALLY strong for an escape and movement tool, I feel like adding a bigger knock back or more damage on the charge would make it really too powerful. Having to choose between damage block OR damage is good too, adding both of those together is pretty ridiculous. She's not really a front line pushing tank like Rein is.

I've played this a lot on my brother's account, as well as the Blizzcon 2015 demo. It's fun. Kind of a mix of Team Fortress 2 with a splash of MOBA.
After trying out all the champions I've settled on Bastion. He's straight OP on defense with correct placement and a little support from your team. People rage if you play him on offense. I'm not sure why. There is no ranked system. I guess some people are always try-hard?
