Looks very chaotic right now.

Been saying the same thing...there is a ton of speed- as always, but there aren't many stalking types that look overly impressive. Then you get to the obvious choices of Pyro and Colonel John, who will have a lot to navigate to get through traffic. It can be done, but if one doesn't fire and the other has trouble, bombs away on the exotics.
