Edit
These are not things that I consider nerf worthy, or anything that would be in my opinion to be touched upon. A lot of comments seem to take it this way. This is merely some predictions based on observations with Blizzards balancing. Do not take this as a personal offense : )
Some predictable changes by observing Blizzards current pattern and the playerbase.
Zenyatta - Discord orbs effect will be reduced ( From +30 to +15/10 ?)
Ana - Antinade’s effect will be reduced (Shorter effect time, less damage)
Torbjörn - His current E ability will deliver less armor, or less speed, or cooldown has been extended.
Doomfist - Less armor during his attack, less damage from fully charged punch.
Brigitte - Armor provided less during her ultimate.
Widowmaker - Gun loads slightly slower to its full damage dealing capability in scope.
Symmetra - Secondary projectile delivers less damage
Zarya - Less energy gathered from primary and secondary shield.
These are not facts or suggestions, yet merely predictions.
You sadly don’t know what your talking about. Doomfist doesn’t even have armor.

Symmetra doesn’t needs nerfs

Lol no one wants these and they’re all stupid.
Only thing that was kind of on track was Doomfist.
A revert of his previous buff of 30 shields to 35 shields per attack would be nice

Most of them are very off the mark.

Number one reason why these predictions might be accurate. xD

Jeff just said with the support changes that came with summer games that zen is in a good place.

It used to be that way. They should never do that again…

IMO that’s too many random nerfs with no real focus on what it’s looking to do game wise, when the real balance passes always clearly have a goal.
So with that in mind, I’m guessing the next few balance passes will be to try to scale back the outbreak of Goats and other triple tank team comps before the Jan launch of S2 of the OWL. As I don’t think watching tank teams just smash into each other is the game play blizzard is looking to bank millions and millions of dollars on right now.
How they fix it? I’m not really sure as we don’t know how anti-armor torb and a few of the other fixes are going to work. I think Brig is going to get more balance passes as odd are she is still going to have too much impact for her low skill level.
I think doomfist will end up with changes to his shield amount. Ana’s bio nad might get tweaked to have a longer anti-heal and less healing boost so it has even more impact as counter to vs heavy tank teams.
Just have to wait and see.

Actually Ana has a very slight possibility of change.
Her only reason not being nerfed is because her survivability is low and her heal can be blocked. However the latter is same for several supports too. And Zen also has low survivability.
Another problem is people always complain about healing. There is people who say “damn nothing is dying until we kill a support, this game feels too slow” every day on this forum too.
Which means the pure healing amount matters to these people and they would want that nerfed

I mean,Zen’s last change was to his secondary fire. And even then,I don’t remember many changes to him outside of that.
I don’t see those people tbh. I mean yeah,healing creep can become a thing,but I’d say things are pretty good right now.
And when healing creep does become a thing,then snipers come in with burst damage. Example being: Season 10.

That could be another reason devs didnt touch snipers fast enough. And why Doomfist isnt much touched and other dps are getting buffs. Maybe healing is pretty balanced but some dps needs buffs

I mean,it’s usually tanks and supports that define and start metas. There’s the GOATs comp which has no DPS in it.
If I remember correctly,according to Overbuff stats(yes I know,not too accurate,but still),the 10 or so most played heroes are either tanks or supports.

It used to provide 150, now it provides 100. If it got any lower it’d be insulting to call it an ultimate. Old Torb could chuck out a 75 armor pack like the damn thing was candy.
