4 second Defense Matrix.. has a longer range than current matrix

General Discussion

Let’s talk about that… the most broken version of D.Va had MORE range.

Now we are at 2 seconds of matrix… and the SMALLEST range of defense matrix EVER in the History of D.Va. 10 meter defense matrix for a 2 second ability… and it has massive bugs to this day, that NOBODY has FIXED or PATCHED.

Defense matrix shouldn’t be as big as an issue thanks to new support characters, stuns, and over-all abilities that go THROUGH defense matrix now. Even though OWL likes ruining D.VA’s balance I think it’s a perfect time to give D.Va more range let’s… say:

12 meters of Defense Matrix Up From 10.

That should be way better than the current one, even if it helps a little. What we have seen a lot of the time Is that D.Va would be on the high ground trying to Defense matrix there rein from below, and couldn’t even reach them thanks to the 10 meter range. This should give D.Va players more Freedom when using defense matrix NOT punishing them for using HALF of the ability… for something they couldn’t even REACH.

12 meters shouldn’t even be considered a BUFF, but a QoL change… since defense matrix range is the LOWEST it has EVER been. Yes I know she’s good in GM right now, but would it be so bad to increase her range by a little?

Even if she got 12M I don’t believe anyone asking for buffs for dva would be satisfied
IMO

Yeah considering that Zarya is meta and Accretion exists, I think it’s high time her Defense Matrix gets better, even if only a little. She’s falling behind other Tanks again… still better than my horse though :frowning:

I would love to see her get the full 15m back specifically for the reason you mentioned of being able to matrix low ground allies from the high ground. I also hope that it would help with some of those moments where you engulf an ally in your matrix, only for then to be shot to death despite you getting the visual that you are eating the damage - hog being by far the biggest offender.

I do think it is important to note that D.Va’s current matrix uptime is very similar to when she had her 4 second matrix due to the faster recharge and the reduced recharge delay. Restoring her range would also probably need her Matrix uptime to be reverted as well.

Nobody likes losing an Overtime just because a d.va pressed q and lshift.
D.va is horrid to play against.

18

are we playing the same game???
youre on a switch right?

Where d.va otps NEVER listen to their team.
And yes, I can kill bastion/pharah and co what you pc players call easy.
So don’t say ‘console players LuL trash noob.’
