Shield system sounds great on paper but actually using it you notice how it often does almost nothing for her.
Either just flat out add it to her base kit as it is or buff the perk to actually be worthy of a major upgrade.
25% shield health back from dm is way too low to be useful into anything other than a Mauga / bastion comp.
It needs to be 33-40% back just to compete with other majors.
This is one of the perks they should seriously consider adding to her base kit just as it is. Otherwise it needs to be buffed as a major perk.

I think it would be cool if lil D.Va had a mini DM that projected outward from her Blaster

I think it’s a fantastic perk, just a bit undertuned for a major perk. Maybe 35-40% shields restored would be better.
I think also they could consider converting more HP to shields. I think they overestimated how “strong” shields could be on her, as dva is almost ALWAYS going to be taking damage and thus very rarely going to activate shield regen outside of matrix.

You’re so funny DmonDiff constantly asking for straight-up buffs to DVa.
I’m not even against her getting some sort of buff, but she should get a compensation nerf to matrix. That is what is holding her back from getting buffs. They fact they added more value to matrix, without an indicator telling people to stop shooting it, was just wrong. Matrix is already one of the strongest mitigations in the game.
It’s up too much, lasts too long and absorbs way too much including ults.
No more buffs to matrix please.
And before you point out I ask for buffs to hog - I ask for changes with the Ana+Hog interaction and accept that parts of hog’s kit might need nerfed for that to be a viable option. You just want straight-up buffing DVa.

More hp to shields would be great. 150 just doesn’t feel like it helps out enough. Either increasing the percentage healed or increasing flat amount of shields would be good.

Yeeeeah that’s mainly the reason why I don’t choose shield system just so I don’t get locked in with it and a sym shows up.

DVa is already a top-tier tank in most situations. She was incredibly overpowered just a few months ago. Gotta be careful buffing her.

Isn’t it just great how Dvas perks are made completely useless after a few hero swaps?

If DVa is fighting a team where matrix does nothing, she needs to swap off DVa anyway.
There’s no swapping off Dva for me.
Dva only is always the way to go.
Nasty Zarya swap crutches get so mad when you manage to win against their full beam team.

Better yet, give her a sword straight out of Stellar Blade.
Have her turn into mini Genji but like 2-B from Nier or Eve from SB
What if she ejects from her Academy or Varsity MEKA and wields a green beam energy sword

That would be wicked sick
And give her like… Master Chief’s Plasma Pistol as a sidearm. Left trigger/left click shoots the pistol, right trigger/right click swings the sword. Alternatively, click “shift” and she throws them both away and equips the Two Step Goodbye from Fallout New Vegas
