Changes do look pretty good, if very small.
Not sure the highest ranks would be happy with buffing Ashe lol. I’m surprised however they haven’t given Echo a tiny nerf.
I think the Ball change only really impacts the lower ranks. The better ball players don’t play “spin to win” any more as it’s an inefficient use of his power (although I’m sure some bronze/silver tanks will be upset as it’s all they know to do). Hopefully, it’ll push some lower ranked players into expanding their skillset with ball.
Aww it’s fun spinning around a vehicle / contest point as ball. But not a bad change. 
Having tested something… I’m never playing Rein again.
Hanzo storm arrows can delete him even with his shield up. All you have to do is ask for his head.
The high level is probably about to return to double bubble, or even harder on double shield.
HAHAHAHA this is me whenever I get the ball in mh. Idk how to hamster. I just roll and hope to take someone down with me

Yeah, certain it won’t last long. so abuse it while you can / pick a tank that can’t get melted.
Edit
And just like that, they’ve removed the patch.
I disagree with you.
You’re pretty shallowminded “spin to win” and “bronze/silver” is not an argument but a lack of intellect. My highest hamster sr has been 3.5k solo que and from my perspective this nerf atleast killed hamster for me.
You point out that longer than 6sec is an inefficient use, that shows to me that you aren’t a good ball player at all, because one key point for a good ball player is the skill to stall an objective without being trapped, hooked etc. Also strategic points on the map can require longer than 6sec spin to keep people stuck and dash them if neccessary.
This all is 50% of ball skill, the other 50% is playing backline which indeed doesn’t require more then 6sec hooks for mobility, hit and run aproach.
But hey, everyone can be a pretender on the internet.

It’s fun to do, spin around in circles knocking people away 
I’ve not seen a spin to win used above 2.3, all up to 4k (after that I’ve watched streams and not seen). You can stall an objective more effectively in other ways.
Either way, patch just got removed. For now.
Do you also get dizzy after spinning round and round or is it just me?
It’s the circular motion with the mouse that gets me xD
Yeah, don’t do that. Just rotate though W A S D, removes any of the motion element.
Ah you are one of those, must copy paste what i see in a video and pretend to have skill type of player.

Well, there’s a reach. Run out of none confrontational things to say?? Lol
I remember when Hanzo had an absolute random shots in first seasons . Now mechanic is diff but still this character was really strong . Sad they are ruining ball ability to prevent contesting on some maps .
They forgot to buff Zarya . She is in really really bad shape right now .
couple of months late on this one, but i guess better late than never.
Can we get a skill based matchmaking update? I’m really tired of queing quick matches with friends who are new to the game and getting placed against prestige players who do nothing but trash talk in game chat and ruin the game. I really want my friends to be able to enjoy this game with me but there’s just no way with how matchmaking is currently.
Quick play wouldn’t be quick play if that was the case.
Quick play is a bit of a stain on the game. For this reason, and it’s a tedious drag to go through while leveling.
If you are your friends are just playing for fun, adding some mystery heroes might break up that drag.
Also, in quick play, turn off all Comms. Nothing good will come from them.
