Let's Talk Supports

Yeah, I guess everybody agrees with that assessment including the devs, but it can't be done as QM would match Medivh against supportier supports and the wailing and gnashing of teeth would be enormous.

And now they classed him as specialist, so enemy team gets medivh while you get sgt hammer or an abathur without support :')

Its a lose/lose situation but I think he wouldve been beyter off classed as supp then spec.

Tassadar can solo-supp in QM and he is very similar in principle.

A lot of people don't like getting Tassadar as solo support either, though, unless it's a heavy auto attack focused team who can get the more use out of Leeching Plasma/Khala's Embrace

Agree on supports having a damage build.
I did not like the removal of herbal cleanse on Li Li, though.

What I WOULD like is for each support to get a unique active talent at 20 that focuses on their core theme and improves it for a short time. Really capitalise on Rehgar's aggression, Morales' healing etc. Something with say a 30-40sec CD, not too long but something that in endgame you would want to be saving for crucial teamfights. Something like:

Rehgar - for the next 4 sec, attacking or using abilities does not break Ghost Wolf Just add a talent that buffs the trait back to prenerf values and increases the range of the jump. Replace rewind.
Tyrande - the next Hunters Mark you cast applies to all targets in a short radius
Tassadar - for the next 4 sec, Q may be recast repeatedly on unshielded allies
Lili - the next E you cast also causes one damaging ability to miss Li Li's L20 options are ok; Maybe just reduce the CD on jugs talent at L20 by 15 seconds, but that's a stretch
Morales - for the next 4 sec, Q heals for double and targets an additional nearby damaged ally It's ok.
Malfurion - for the next 8 sec, your HoTs heal twice as fast (Q, Tranq and Living Seed) Give a talent that allows you to stack hots
Kharazim - for the next 4 sec, your trait's potency is tripled
Brightwing - your trait pulses once per second for the next 4 seconds
Uther - ... not sure actually

I like the suggestion that the devs made for morales on being able to control the grenade a bit, but the damage could be upped a little.
