I know I'm late to this. Sue me. Overview:

Genji: Shuriken recovery decreased from 0.75 to 0.68, ultimate cost increased 15%
Mei: Cryo-freeze healing increased from 37.5 to 50
Pharah: Hover Jet regeneration rate increased from 35 to 43
Reaper: Primary fire damage per projectile increased from 5.5 to 6
Sigma: Barrier cooldown reduced from 2.5 to 2.0 seconds
Zarya: Energy drain rate increased from 1.6 to 1.8 per second

Overall I don't have any problem with these changes. I like that the team is trying to make Genji viable all around, as opposed to just building ult. I think trying to find the middle ground for Pharah hover is great as well. Pretty satisfied with this update.

I think the dev team wants every hero to be viable in every situation, but the reality is that that’s not possible, nor should it be. Situational picks are not a bad thing and only further legitimizes those heroes and their role (s)
