I thought it was really fun!

Orisa: I think new Orisa is the most fun hero they've ever had. She's got a ton of abilities and they all feel amazing. The spear throw might be the most satisfying button in the game. She was my fav in the later half of OW1 so I was a little depressed they were changing her, but I'm 100% on board.

Unfortunately I barely got to play her, because the tank queues were so long...

Supports: The biggest debate in the beta was probably whether or not Support heroes "feel good to play" or if they "feel weak". I wish the debate wasn't about this, because it's so subjective.

The real problem was the queues: nobody wanted to play support, so the matchmaking queues were rough, all beta long.

There were people making the argument that "supports feel fine" which I think is absurd when you just look at the queue size difference. It doesn't matter how they feel, all that matters is balancing the queues, so people can PLAY.

Luckily I think Blizz did a good job understanding this: they kept giving specific Supports hilarious buffs, I imagine, in an enthusiastic attempt to balance the queues. (I mean, the Zen +25HP AND boop kick AND kick +dmg, has to be one of the biggest buffs ever to a hero!!) This helped the queues a little bit, but the tank queue was still quite long.

Fundamentally in OW2, I'm not actually sure why anyone would ever want to play Support, really. They're weaker slower DPS with more responsibilities. Also fewer heroes. I think the Zen and Mercy hilarious buffs were possibly a good step: buffs so big, that you just smile when you see them.

Blizz Communication: Every week during the beta, they gave us a big write-up post about how the beta's going, what they're concerned about, what they're working on, etc, and it was freaking amazing.

Then when I play attack I feel like my guns are shooting peanuts half of the time. I just played a game where I hit Moira with 4 point blank Reaper shots and her health did not drop. I did not miss those shots and I saw them all connect and she just skittered away.

Yeah there are definitely some forgotten DPS heroes that are just brokenly bad, and I think Reaper is the main one. He just does 0 damage, even when you're pretty close!
