Overwatch: NERF THIS!! Well They Did

Yuppers, Blizzrd heard DVA's taunt and not only has she been nerfed, but few other characters have been dragged into the situation. Along with the ever so jubilant DVA, we have Roadhog and Ana who have also lost some advantages with their gameplay. According to Blizzard, nothing has come out yet on the consoles except PC, and it's only PTR (Public Test Region), so some tweeks will be happening with everything to make it look good. So let's start with DVA's nerfs:
Her health has increased from 200 to 400, yah she's gonna need that because lemme tell you something...
HER ARMOR IS TOATLLY RUINED NOW!! Well, not really, it's just going to be harder to be a tank, and, yeah being de-meched is going to increase in DVA players. No more endlessly plowing through people with your guns. I say use her Defence Matrix to the max, because again, a decrease from 400 to 200 doesn't seem like too much, but it is. So be prepared to have metal peices of destroyed DVA mechs litter the play grounds. That's the big thing everyone's griping about on DVA's behalf, but in general, she asked for it.
Next up is Ana: The old faithful grandma who has the eyes of a hawk, and occasionally will offer you a cup of tea. Ana's nerf isnt the worst, I mean, c'mon, just a few points off her biotic grenade. It's been decreased by 50%, which isn't much at all! The grenade is still really good, just not crazy good anymore, which is a good balance to her character anyways. Some people think that she needed to be nerfed more, but I think she's still a work in progress. Now to the saltiest pool in Overwatch history, Roadhog's nerf:
No more being dragged out of nowhere and being shotdown. No more being swung around corners without even seeing what hoocked you in the first place. No more...of Roadhog's amazing kills. Well, it's going to be so unlikely that the hook will even work anymore. It's totally sensitive now. I mean come on Blizzard, the rope hits one thing and the grapple is lost. This gives Tracer a chance! Nah, but seriously, I saw some of the PTR footage of Roadhog's hook, and grabbing Lucio behind a tree was impossible, which is reasonable, but it's going to be so frustrating now to hook anything with Roadhog. It's going to be so precise and realistic to where I'm going to be pulling my hair out. Alot of people are excited about his hook change, some are saying that it's fair now and Roadhog needed this nerf. But in all honestly, I wonder how he will come back with these massive changes. My opinion is that it's going to be seriously frustrating playing Roadhog now, and if you do decide to use his hook, you better have freaking sniper abilities. I personally love watching Roadhog play, the adrenalin through him hooking everyone and shooting them right after always ran through my veins. I have to say deep down I kind of thought it was unfair, but, I don't know, I hope the masters at Roadhog will keep playing him like they usually do, and be even better with him with the update. Don't lose hope roadhog players!! Come back with a stronger grapple!! Hook em' just right!!
So with all the nerfs, we have 1 buff, and that's my favorite character, Sombra:
She has a faster hack! We needed this! I needed it! So anyone realize how slow she was when she suprised people and it would take her a while to do anything else like shoot, or hack after coming out of being invisible? 'Que tal.' *gets shot* No more of that! Time for a fast hack of 0.8 seconds instead of 1 second. Man, I can't wait to hack everyone! So instead of hacking 5 people in 5 seconds, I can hack 5 people in 4 seconds. It's a higher advantage of being hacked. Yes, I know it's ever so annoying to get hacked and loose all of your abilities, but I honestly cannot wait to hack everyone in my sights, well a good amount of people before I die. This is going to be one heck of a ride for the people who will be effected by the change. But, if you were discouraged or sad by some of your character's changes, I say, don't give up. Instead, take this update as a chance to get better! And if you were positivly effected by the update, well, take it easy on DVA's mech.

Share your opinions below on the new nerfs/buffs. I'd be more than happy to hear them!
