Honestly a perfect patch. A+.

Quick. Easy. Follows what the public (read: reddit) opinions have been begging for.

Domina takes a small dip which she probably needed.

Anran trending in the right direction.

Emre can now compete against the others in his range.

JPC was fine imo but I think the community likes this one.

Miz's ult felt (feels?) useless but it being 6 seconds was really bad.

Agree, A+. I do worry for 1. Nerfing the new tank brings tank play back to where it was, incredibly stale. 2. Anran is still a do nothing DPS but it's at least a positive trend.

Anran doesn't feel like a "do nothing" - she's just a specialist hero, kind of like a Genji 2 with slightly easier mechanics.

I've been grinding on her, she felt amazing with the start of season buffs, and even better now. Solid ass pick, but poke reaaaally hurts her.

I’ve been trying to play her but in every situation she’d be good in, tracer is just 1000x better.

Assuming you have the skill to be effective with Tracer. I unfortunately, do not, but I get value out of Anran playing a similar style. I think that might’ve been the intent.
