The community is much better at balancing the game.
Reaper is so much more fun to play now.
Rez is less oppressive since it’s only temporary.
Widow one shots have a little counterplay if you can get support before it deletes you but still rewards aim.
Sombra is less oppressive but still viable. However I would’ve just preferred temporary stealth and increased lethality.
There’s a lot of good changes in here. Some of them are obviously character biased and a little crazy but I think it’s a good place to start.

If the forum people like the community balance changes then that’s a pretty good indicator that they should all be scrapped entirely.

Reaper is OP and viable here and trash in the base game and has been for years.
Let him have his cake for once.
You dont know how to play reaper, in no way is he not viable. That seems like copium.
I’m not a fan of the reworked McCassidy roll and Sojourn slide. I kept going the wrong way because of these edits lol.
You’re joking. Reaper has always been MID at best.
The game favors ranged hitscan characters and tracer. Reaper has to be right in your face to do anything.
Against any competent team reaper is trash. Venture is the superior version of him because she has better mobility which the community patch gave him. His damage is a little too high though.
And if youre good enough, you can do that all the way to GM. He doesnt need to be OP. And Venture is actually busted for a close range dps, still waiting for her nerfs. She doesnt need that damage with shield generation, she isn’t a tank; remove shields and she’s just as hard to play as reaper.
You can do that with any character. There’s GMs who one trick the wrost characters in the game. That doesn’t mean their character isn’t objectively worse than other heroes.
You have GM Junk one tricks that doesn’t change the fact he’s bad.
Remove the only thing that makes them viable? 
Yea, but you dont buff him because it breaks the game, and junk players still play at their respective levels. He cant be easy, that makes the game unfun everyone else. You want to play a character you think is simple but not in reality, they arent. Youre not going to get far. Same goes for reaper.
yes, simple as that. Make them require healing like everyone else, she survives too long with technically two ways to get out that are also two ways to do damage and attack. And dig youre underground for long enough to get health back anyway.
I am not going to lie, this mode is so unfun that I am actually going to break tradition and not test every character. Tomorrow I am just returning to competitive to one trick Reinhardt because I am not enjoying myself whatsoever. I tested most of the DPS at least. I am not sure I can stomach tank or support on this update. The thought is making me nauseous.

The reimagined Hanzo is really bad, like way worse than regular Hanzo. It takes someone special to mess up that hard. Would never want to see that in live haha.

So true. Feels nice to finally be able to play the game and actually make big brain plays. It’s far less cheesy too because you’re not invulnerable for as long.
Jeff Kaplan was also the genius that brought Moira and Brig into the game, soooo…
Reaper wouldn’t exist without me, be careful what you say, I can change that

Is he? I only tested the characters I play in the base game.
I can go in and get kills without immediately getting deleted or being forced to slowly fade away and get killed when my fade ends 
Can we stop calling the elaborate advertisement for some streamers a “community patch”. Paid actors =/= the community. The community are the people who actually play this game for fun and not because its their job to do so.
