0.28% D.va Pick rate after buff

So what now?

Who in the earth thought that a “”"""""""""""""""""""""""“Tank”""""""""""""" who insta gets killed if isn’t pocketed by 3 players 24/7 need a 2 seconds reduction on booster?.

Sigma is 1000% better than D.va in any comp/situation.
Hammon king of Dive and unkilleable if your team doesn’t have Sombra/Mei/Mcree
Roadhog can win literally almost every 1vs1 in the game except Reaper.
Zarya still one of the best off tank in the game due to using a Beam weapon and a bubble who saves people better than DM.

What’s next now?

D.va deal bad damage
D.va defensive tool is horrible.
She is the only Tank who doesn’t have a CC but gets CC easily.

Why Sigma can stun and 2 shoot you from range and as soon you get in contact with him he uses his better DM and places a big shield in your face so beams doesn’t even touch him?.

Why Roadhog still can pull with his 1-k.o combo and get away with a 50% damage reduction and self heal? while feeding less than D,va?.

Why Orisa can pull you like a ragdoll and be able to have 40% damage reduction, a big shield and attack you at the same time?.

Why Zarya can walk in to you fully charged and CC your whole team even with barriers up with her ult? while being the best DPS in the entire game and of course make herself and 1 teammate completely invulnerable?

But hey D.va can get in your face booping you for 10 damage and throwing everything you with 20% speed reduction and with a combo of 110-120 while feeding 750 hp.

What do you MEAN being able to go 118% movement speed in a straight line every three seconds instead of every five seconds didn’t magically fix the biggest hitbox hero in the game??? I NEVER saw this coming

She is competing with Bastion who has 0.0% pick rate and you think having a “Tank” in Z tier (not even F) is a good idea in a game where nobody plays the Tank role.

lmao it’s only been like 28 hrs. You realize many people probably didn’t have time to play from then until now?

Given she’s been out of rotation for so long I expect people not to choose her because they’re little wusses that refuse to try new things. It’ll take some big streamer saying ‘OMG she so guuuud’ for people to take her seriously again

Her pickrate is already on 1% on the dailies, the highest it has been in months. But overbuff isn’t accurate, and as such I should not be using it as evidence, and you guys shouldn’t either. Use what you see in-game and how many people pick hero n teams to determine for yourself whether you think she is viable.

Don’t worry.
It will drop back to “normal” as soon as people realize that the mobility buff is useless without any other changes.

Her main issue is Sigma. My proof is the stage 4 of OWL. She was actually the most used tank behind Orisa, which was after both of her nerfs (DM cooldown and DM range nerfs). The moment Sigma released, is when her pickrate crashed. Double shield needs to be addressed once and for all, then D.Va will come back to viability.

If we don’t have some metric we’re all firing blindly. There’d be little point of debate, and overbuff isn’t that far out, all things considered.

I am pretty sure that it was Roadhog, not D.Va.

I thought D.Va’s Boosters have CC, no? And I know for a fact that her Ultimate does…

The boosters knockback is one of the weakest in the game.

Still, CC is CC. It’ll make somebody mad somewhere in the world.

This is why official stats is one of my most requested features right now.

We’re all forced to use statistics that are off by even 20% pick rate wise.

lol

Hanzo can still do ungodly amounts of damage as headshots, against a hero with a giant center of mass critical hitbox.

950 damage in 1.7sec, combined with Mei Freezes.

Let D.va eat rock and her pick rate will go up.
