While any of these changes/ideas depend on execution, I like lots of the ideas - at least it appears that GW is trying to over haul the mess of 40K. And including community playtesters is a good sign IMO (sure they might not listen to them but I'll give GW the benefit of the doubt and wait for the rules/dex/whatever to drop).

I like how the new cover works and that high powered weapons can ignore it.

pistols can shoot in close combat... cool!
falling back out of combat with a unit so another can shoot... also cool!
no snapping heavy weapons if they move, just a -1 to hit... seems to make sense
certain unit types can't benefit from certain cover eh.... poor nids....

I guess in AoS monsters cant get cover. Id also think that there will be a soft vs hard cover mechanic like +1 to save, +2 to save kinda deal

Mostly the same.
Still 12 inches. Still 2d6 still fire over watch still on 6s.
But no need to be in base to base 1 inch away is all good.
Can do multiple over watches until you are tied up in combat.

If they still get the overwatch for each other. Which I assume will be taken away cause that would be broke as hell.

And yes, I'd imagine that supporting fire will be a thing of the past as that'd be all kinds of broken. |

yes... which is huge, assuming supporting fire remains (which I'm assuming at this point it will as until I hear any different I'm not going to automatically assume all special army abilities are gone!)
common (ie: one of the only!) anti-tau tactic for close combat armies is to stagger multiple charges in to lower the threat of overwatch with msu/depleted units. With that not being a thing anymore, that's a lot of potentially devastating multiple overwatch attempts.
