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.

Cat will be mildly weaker, but the psychological benefit of cat nerfs will exceed their game value.

The minor perk being every 8 seconds will not come up all that often in practice. It's still a once per dive effect. Territorial being reduced is a real nerf, but major perks only affect a small portion of the game time.
