Yeah, you’re right, there’s a precedent set there.
Quite a bad one though. It’s incredibly frustrating to have a Dva on you as Junk because your mobility just stops being a thing. Plus that’s with 2 charges on a much shorter cooldown.
It would feel absolutely awful to play Bap with this change. He’d need serious compensation changes with this. We cant just gut heroes so that dive can be the default best comp.

All this would really do is kick down bad baps without ever at all affecting good baps.
I do like good criticism like this.
Because if that’s really true, then this probably isn’t worth it.
But it really depends on a good amount of details.
But the overall goal is how do you target Masters and above Baps.
I think abilities like DM and Hack need to have limitations to make sure that the character doesn’t counter too many heroes.
Well we can’t buff dive to make it the best comp either, and its clear they’re either gonna powercreep or nerf to fix double shield again. I’m not saying that dive should be meta, but if it’s between nerfing Bap or buffing Rein absurdly…?
I still think charging Bobs, Hamms, and Reins deserve to be deflected. For humor plays more than balance.
… It can’t be already? I’ve never thought of this.
I mean yeah sure. They can eat snowball. It’s consist.
The other option is to address Sigma and his shield.
you jump once into it your not killing anything when the whole team has insane damage stats and self peel
Yeeeah as a D.Va player it might seem neat but I don’t like that idea at all.
You can make 10000 changes and Dive won’t counter dbl barrier.
And if you buff the f out of dive till it wins against dbl barrier then it will only win against deathball harder.
The real questions lol
Seriously though, how in heck do people believe that lamp is the problem when Bapt had it all long and was not meta for quite some time.
Do they realize that these recent buffs to other parts of his kit were a bit too much in some cases?
I am truly baffled as to why people omit the obvious to justify nerfing a CD that is more than fine.

Because they are moving down the list of most viable DoubleBarrier peel options
Mei > Brig > Bap
The issue isn’t so much the specific hero, but attempting to starve DoubleBarrier of peel options.
I mean addressing a hero does not answer my question as to why people blame IF as if that was the problem when in reality, Bapt had it for a long time and double shield was not viable.
It is only after buffing the rest of his kit that he got where he is…
There is a difference between addressing a hero and addressing an ability that is literally not the main problem lol
Because Bap didn’t matter because he was bad.
Similar to how Hanzo Ult didn’t matter until after his rework.
Exactly my point, again, why address an ability that was literally not touched since bapt was “bad” (using your own words) when in reality the problem lies elsewhere…

Because Bap got some major changes to his Primary/Secondary and his Ult, so he’s no longer bad.
He went from “Basically non-existent” to the meta, to dominant.
So now IF meta impacts matters.
Yeah let’s nerf more hard when an other support can finally be meta, than the untouchable queen Ana. /s
