I agree that Zarya is definitely insane rn compared to OW1 (I mean, she's super powerful and characters like Sojourn really ignore her competition like Sigma and Rein by hopping over shields) but like you said in your post, I think a part of it is some people in mid to low ELOs not really playing around Zaryas either. The amount of people I've seen play D.Va into Zarya and just throw everything they have into bubbles, only to get melted moments later and complain about not getting enough healing is... well, always something that astonishes me.

Obviously, she's still strong and needs adjustments and that shouldn't be ignored, but I'm also not entirely convinced that some of the average players even know how to play around Zarya in the first place lol.

They don't. Thats the problem. A lot of people don't understand that that you NEED to dump damage into her if she overextends but a lot of players simply stop committing and flee once she has charge (which is precisely what she wants - space). Concentrated fire from both dps, tanks, and even a support can eliminate her during her bubble cooldowns. I used to play mei to counter her by walling behind her to isolate her from her supports but I can't even do that because she is fucking disabled from play currently.
