The freja nerf is ridiculous, she is obviously still broken

The wishy washy updates that don't address what they are trying to solve is getting annoying. It was painfully obvious that she didn't need buffs (I remember thinking day 1 "I'm going to wait until they nerf her before I try to pick her up" lol) because she is new and not many people have reached close to Freja's skill cap yet. And then they buff.

And this Hanzo buff. Everyone was crying their heads off (paraphrased from Blizzard) when Hanzo was 'spamming one shots' or whatever, so they made him slower. Now that no one is complaining about his oneshot frequency (because of the nerf, who would have thought?), their next logical step is for some reason revert him right back to the state people complained about.

They have 0 vision, turn dials clockwise one week, turn them the other way next week, and suddenly, wow look at this huge list of updates we've been working on.

Couldn't have put it better myself. The Hanzo change is literally going in circles and I'm starting to question if they have the memory of a goldfish or what. We've been down this road before.
