Well, if they wanted a really solid way to make it so that Baptiste isn’t shutting down Dive. This should work.
Baptiste
Immortality Field
- Can be absorbed by Defence Matrix, and Kinetic Grasp before landing.
- Can be deflected by Genji, causing the ability to switch teams.
Then all of the sudden Bap Frisbee loses a metric ton of it’s AntiDive potential.
Basically makes Immortality Field follow the same rules as Mei Ult.
Wow… I have no clue. I absolutely hate lamp, but that just seems excessive. The cool down is way too long to justify that, imo.
If they can eat lamp, can they become lamp?
As if D.va eating a Grav or Mei Ult doesn’t take a good long while to charge.
Who are they, Kirby? Lol
It’s an interesting idea to say the least! While I realise Snowball’s technically a projectile and not a construct, Genji can deflect that, after all.
I’d rather they tried out just lowering Bap’s HPS first, but if that’s not enough, well…
Defence Matrix can eat minature black holes from Zarya. Also Zaryas ultimate takes way longer to charge than Baps cooldown. I think this is a fine change to make.
I also want DM to eat Sigmas stupid rock. This rock is another reason Dive isn’t viable vs Sigma.
Kirby for Overwatch.
Just let him eat heroes and copy them.
He can be meta with Mei so we can call it “The Thing” Meta.
Personally, I feel that is fine because Zarya melts Dva and Mei is quite strong against her too. You have options to avoid DM as those characters. So I suppose it is kind of inaccurate to argue the cool down is the issue I have with it so much as it makes that MU completely lopsided to the point where nobody in their right mind would play Baptiste into a Dva.
I figure Mei Ult and Baptiste IF (And Ashe Dynamite) use almost identical code structures during the throwing part.
I mean I love kirby so sure put him in
Well, the devs are looking for ways to make DoubleBarrier more vulnerable to close range attacks.
And I figure IF was originally designed as more of a counter to Junkrat Ult, D.va Ult, and Hanzo Ult.
To the extent that it’s shutting down Dive, probably goes beyond it’s original intent.
People should stop crying about it… its strong yes but the cooldown is a huge drawback. Stop crying. If you want to nerf it more then buff the cooldown.
It’s a placed entity, not a projectile. Should D.Va and Sigma be able to eat Turrets, Hammond Mines, Orisa Ult and Bob aswell?
So is Mei Ult, and Ashe Dynamite.
They do no damage if they directly collide with an enemy.
Technically Baptiste’s drone is a construct. Like Torb and Sym turrets.
Should Genji deflect those too? How about D.Va’s self destruct? BOB? When you start asking questions you sometimes have to say no.
Deal.
But next we get Dante from Devil May Cry.
I can see DVAs sitting on baptiste while their team ults ready to eat lamp, honestly would be fun 
I mean, that’s basically what a Dive is.
Jump in, and put a DM and bubble in their faces, then shoot until dead.
Oh, yeah, it goes well beyond their original intent, I absolutely agree. I just think it would feel awful to have that eaten when it is more of a defensive cooldown. Most everything else that can be consumed is technically offensive in nature. This would put you into a situation where you cannot even use the ability if Dva dives you, but you are likely to die if you do not. Assuming no peel, which is of course the plat experience.
I mean, do not get me wrong, I would not complain if they did this. I just feel it would be awful design.
Which means you would need to use it ahead of time. But that could be faked out.
But really what you are describing is an intended design feature, not a side effect.
Pushing it to be a preemptive anti-zoning tool, not a reactive peel tool.
