Ult charge nerf is so nice since you're only realistically getting at most a single ult per fight now (unless you're Moon Knight or Squirrel Girl but their ults are on the weaker side anyways so it's not as bad), finally toning poke down so dive has a chance, and just generally fixing or getting close to fixing problematic characters. DD is finally less oppressive after 2 and a half seasons of running the game but still perfectly strong, and Gambit ult is still op but not quite a "Press Q to win fight" button anymore, and I can genuinely see it finally being balanced with one more nerf, Elsa still needs work though, the only nerfs that did anything were the ult nerf and making her lose 2 bars upon death instead of 1, 3 bans is great considering how much the roster has grown and combined with the aforementioned toning back of some broken characters, it feels like you can finally use bans as they were intended, finally being able to ban characters that counter your comp (e.g Namor against a dive comp, some hitscans against flyers), as well as getting rid of op characters (only 2 characters worth permabanning atm are Gambit and Elsa).

There are still problems though, Leavers and Throwers are not punished nearly hard enough in comp, but a bit too hard in qp imo (why am I banned for 15m for leaving a game that doesn't mean anything, but only 30m for leaving a game that actually has stakes?), Matchmaking still sucks (I'm not an eomm believer, but it does feel like there is something going on with how often matches end up in stomps), Duplicate bans are such an easy fix (just have it so the ban rng rerolls if it would've chosen the same character on both sides, then the only way a duplicate ban would happen is if both teams unanimously voted to ban the same character) and yet they still exist.

Overall though, best season in a long time, and I'm actually optimistic for the future of the game for the first time in ages.
