Eh maybe at the highest levels. But for most levels brig is still making tracer near unplayable in matches they are both in. For one players simply don't focus down players enough at most levels. So much so brig's ability to constantly HoT and get rid of the poke dmg, while also having a big instant heal invalidate many of her actual opportunities to actually get kills..... Maybe if her ultimate wasnt useless since the nerf a while back..
I think reaper is in an okay spot. His self heal is strong but his mobility still makes him vulnerable as previously mentioned. I have had a few weird experiences where it *feels* like I get killed by a Reaper way faster than I should have. Was playing Pharah in a MH game yesterday and I swear I got one-shot with a hit to the body. Im probably just mistaken but it did seem weird.

They recently changed the spread pattern on his shotguns. Not many noticed but it was arguably one of the bigger stealth buffs of recent times. it's far easier to get "direct hits" or closer to them then before.
I think they are about to annonce that OW will be FTP. They would make more money doing so... Adding new players and peoples would probably be more willing to buy lootbox.
The game could probably gain from new gamemode. 2 CP, KOTH, Payload are getting old a bit. They are probably cooking a battle royal mode or someting else.

How would a battle royal game mode even work in a game designed and balanced around 6v6 team fights?

As smart of a move as this would be, they just announced a two weeks ago that Overwatch was having its price cut in half. Doubtful they'd do away with the cost altogether just a few weeks after making the news rounds of it being cheaper.

apex does seem to really have hurt the game a good bit. Every night a i would say over half from normal group is playing that instead and we have struggled to form more then 3-4 mans when before we had lines for 6 mans a week or two ago. What strikes me is how all these OW players who don't even care for BR's are playing it and talking about how fun it is. Only the females who play in my group seem unaffected by it for whatever reason and it's not unusual for my friends groups to be more female then male recently.

I'm guessing between some of the Blizzard announcements and Apex, it's really hurting OW. I always had several groups lingering around on a friends list but now there's lucky to be 1-2 people even at peak hours. People were grumbling about OW for a little while now, no particular reason, everyone seem to have their own list of complaints so I don't think OW needed much of a push for some of its player base to move on.
I always like OW and hate to see it go down without much of a fight. Jeff is quiet, Blizzard only announces ignorance, and the people are deciding to play other games. Shame this would happen to the studio formerly known as Blizzard.

Tons of people played Apex on lunch break of late. I was looking around today and most returned to OW. Didn't bother people about it.

I guess the commentators are forbidden from calling the comp GOATS. This "Triple Triple" nonsense is dumb
