[AMA] Reddit AMA, 18th of July - ANSWERS ADDED

Highest AA damage, which makes 1v1ing almost too easy early game, but once you get Big Shot, you get high, long range damage, on a short cooldown. You don’t need AA.

It won’t be a heroic period, it will be nerfed. And I doubt they’ll just nerf the mech charge it gives.

Weird, I thought you care about fun not how good it is :thinking:

Pilot is a glass so there is no 1v1. Big Shot was definitely not a reason to either pick Dva or stay in pilot mode. There is a plethora of heroes that can solo, tank and deal better damage at lower cost.

If it’s nerfed and loses a lot of power, then it becomes not fun. Like Tracer.

Tell that to all the people I’ve 1v1’d and kicked out of lane feet first.

It was for me. So you’re wrong.

Yeah, but that’s why she’s getting changed. I just wish they wouldn’t her change heroics, because that’s honestly not needed.

Looking forward to giving new DVa a spin.

Quality bait.

Yay! Gotta love the way you called my questions a Megabundle! <3
(But like the dev said, there are actually only 2 questions: 1 about movement speed change, 1 about Probius)

Looking forward to whitemane and dva reworks even though I don’t have a prob with how dva is currently. Sad to hear they won’t be doing anything for probius anytime soon as I don’t feel like he fulfills the SC worker builder fantasy adequately

Don’t pretend it was ever “necessary” to use Big Shot. All it did was little bit of damage. If it’s necessary to use an ult, then you Mech back up. Otherwise you can still stay in Pilot Mode in fire off Big Shots as much as you like.

Yeah, whitemane is just so clunky to play. Her level 1 and level 4 talent tier need to be swapped as her level 4 talents allow her to choose how to manage her resource in various ways. It makes no sense having this wait until level 4.

Before 4, you have no purpose. You’re just [expletive]-ing around doing jack [expletive].

Whitemane is in need of a HARD talent rework. Like, scrap 90% of these talents.

It was only necessary if you were alone against a whole team chasing you, but it was the most fun and the most safe.
250 AoE damage (at level 0) every 4 seconds is very good. And you don’t even have to put yourself in danger unlike say Bunny Hop, or Calamity.

I still have a problem with a pilot build not having a heroic. D.Va can’t just switch between forms whenever she wants. And I don’t want Big Shot nerfed.

Sometimes I wanna sign up on reddit and ask questions like “Will Orphea’s comic comeback” or will BhB and haunted mines be balanced and make a return :slight_smile:

The latter pops up a lot in these AMAs, never to be answered.
