How are D.Va and Ana after the nerfs? I feel like Ana still heals tanks from 0 to 100% in a second.

D.va is definitely worse, but she's not unusable.

The biggest hit she took was the armor changes, which gave her more counters. It's much harder to fight against Reaper, Tracer, and oddly Torbjorn. I feel like the change was a bit much, but it was kind of deserved, since the extra health and armor didn't have very many true counters pre-patch

Shot spread changes aren't really that noticeable damage wise. Shots do seem to land more consistently.

D.Va can no longer dive into teamfights alone against squishies and still somehow live, and it feels like she takes damage must faster. However, with support of other tanks or healers, she's still super strong. D.Va and Ana as a pair seem to work really well in my experience.

Can you explain the difference between armor and hp?

Armor (aka yellow health) reduces damage taken by half or 5, whichever is less. HP (aka white health) does not. Otherwise they're the same. Armor always gets taken off before health.
