These patch notes came out today for PC and will be coming to console probably towards the end of the month. They are balancing console and PC separately so things might be different for console players, but let's hear what you think?
Me personally I like the mccree changes but the widowmaker nerf seems pointless to me. I was really hoping they would adjust the hitbox size for heads which would fix both widowmaker and hanzo. The random shots that lead to way too many headshots is really really annoying.

Please note that many of these changes will be rolled into a larger patch for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One at a later date.
McCree
Peacekeeper - Alternate fire
Recovery time (i.e. the amount of time before McCree starts reloading) decreased from 0.75 seconds to 0.3 seconds
Bullet damage decreased from 70 to 45 (Probably reverse patch form this)
Developer Comments: McCree was performing too well against all targets, making him feel like a must-pick in many situations. By reducing the damage of his alternate fire, McCree is now significantly weaker against tanks like Roadhog and Reinhardt, but still maintains his lethality against smaller targets like Tracer and Genji.
WidowMaker
Widow’s Kiss - Alternate fire (Scoped Shot)
Base damage decreased from 15 to 12
Note: Scoped shot damage multiplier remains unchanged
Headshot damage multiplier increased from 2x to 2.5x
Players must now wait for the unscoping animation to completely finish before scoping
Infra-Sight (Ult)
Ultimate charge cost increased by 10%
*Developer Comments: In the right hands, Widowmaker can often feel unstoppable—even when just landing body shots instead of critical heads shots. The changes to her alternate fire weaken body shot damage while leaving her headshot damage unchanged. Additionally, we felt her Ultimate ability, Infra-Sight, was coming up a little too frequently, especially considering its impact on the game. *
Bug Fixed
Improved stability of the High Bandwidth option in Custom Games
Fixed a bug that allowed Mercy to gain Ultimate charge whenever damage boosting an ally who was attacking a barrier or Ice Wall
Fixed a bug that allowed Reaper to Shadow Step to unintended locations on a certain maps
Fixed an issue with collision on certain areas of Dorado not blocking line of sight

2 RepliesI dont think McCree needed that bad of a nerf, he was good but not THAT overpowered.

At least not on console. I tried it against the target drones on the Practice Range. It took multiple quickscope shots to the body before the drone blew up. Now, by comparison, it took TWO quickscope shots to the head for a kill. So while I don't see the WM nerf coming to consoles, McCree is a different story. McCree I'm not to sure about. I'd need to see video evidence of McCree actually one shotting a tank with his Fan The Hammer skill. I get the feeling what's happening is someone's taking damage, McCree Flashbangs them which adds damage, then McCree shoots them.
