INFO
Ana's heals is what makes this comp work. She can keep those three tanks alive with ease assuming she has LOS(line of sight). All the other tanks should play around the reinhardt and ana. It can be pretty hard to kill 3 grouped up tanks.

SWITCHES
You can switch out the solider for pretty much any dps. Roadhog can be switched out for d.va as well. On defense mercy or zen replacing lucio is fine as well.
