You say all that, but I only have your word. Which I don’t believe.
What I know, however, is that Overbuff has more users than MasterOW. So it does have a bigger amount of data.
If you knew any statistics, you’d know how sharply sampling error drops with number of users and that it practically does not depend on the population size as long as your sample size is only above a certain number. And MasterOW has at least 158000 games in this season only for D.Va. Which is more than enough.
But if you are still skeptical about it, then check how similar all the stats between overbuff and masteroverwatch are once you scale them to per game basis by multiplying it with 10 or 10.5, forgot which one since I did it a while ago just to check if they are consistent. And they are. All stats are only within small margin of each other.
You say all that and yet, my math produces a number that is very similar to your stat. So either what you say is wrong or it doesn’t happen that often.
It doesn’t matter that it’s close. It’s still fake. I explicitely tested what affects mech recalls and mech deaths. Don’t believe me? Go and test it out. Of course that it won’t happen often, but it still is a wrong number. It artificially inflates mech deaths when you calculate it that way. If D.Va dies once every game after failing to get into mech after ulting, you get that number. But in reality, that’s not a mech death.
How would you know ? You almost never play D.Va.
It doesn’t make sense to do it. Zero sense.
Bwahahahaha. 1k damage ? When she loses over 9 mechs per game ? That’s the bare minimum. And you forget the damage from SD, which adds up to another 1k minimum.
Yes. 1k damage. And even that is optimistic. She will die 6 times out of those 9 mechs. So she will straight out get a fresh mech upon respawn. And sometimes she will use self-destruct to get a new mech. Or she will straight out jump over the cliff. There’s literally 0% chance that she does 3k or 4k. It’s literally nonsense.
SD does 1k only if it hits anything at close range and that’s assuming that the target can actually survive 1k damage. It has a fall-off and very often it won’t hit anything. If it hits a 200 HP hero, it does 200 damage, not 1000. Why do I even have to explain this…
If D.Va dives you, either you’re out of position, or her team is with her.
If she dives alone and you’re with your team, you shouldn’t die.
And what about when I am with my team on the point and my healer is healing my tanks who are busy? How will my team prevent her from erasing me? She doesn’t punish bad positioning. Roadhog did. I know what bad positioning is.
Um, you know she won’t send your bullets back ? You can move to the side and shoot ? Or is it too hard for you ?
You can’t sprint and shoot. You can walk and shoot. But if you walk instead of sprint you get boop damage on you + some of missiles will be hitting you. If you start sprinting immediately and then drop heal, she will be out of boosters and won’t be able to boop you out of your field. If you are in your field and if she used her missiles while boosting, she will have a hard time killing you. I very rarely actually die to D.Va in that situation. However, situations in I do die is when I’m on the point and I simply get pummeled over as I described earlier. And I’m not the only one who complains of that. It’s 1000 worse if you’re McCree since you’re always in a situation like that.
It takes one magazine + Helix Rockets + one melee to kill the mech. 4 seconds. No crits.
If she’s getting healed, and noone helps you, she’s 2v1, you deserve to die. Blame your team.
I’m talking about her boosting away. She can cut corners or simply go over a ledge and that’s it. 25 meters covered in 2 seconds with boosters. And even then, your math is wrong.
No you didn’t, since you forgot Zenyatta.
Yeah, I did. But not intentionally. I saw that you used 4 characters in the list and simply assumed that D.Va was 4th after checking Genji Tracer Wisnton who were first 3.
No it won’t. Back when D.Va was reworked and some thought she’d be bad, pros were working with Zarya in her place, or a third DPS.
Dive will not be killed by nerfing one character. You’d have to nerf them all, hard. That would be killing the OWL.
Zarya + Winston is trash and was never good. There’s basically no synergy other than bubble and Zarya’s lack of mobility and lack of true shield tank makes it not good. And as I’ve said, 1 dive tank is easy to deal with, 2 are not. You can absolutely kill dive by nerfing either Winston or D.Va. But since Winston on his own is actually balanced and since the goal is not to kill dive but simply to weaken it, D.Va is the candidate. Also, her usage in OWL so far outside of dive is bigger than of all other off-tanks. Meaning, she is used just as much outside of it compared to other alternatives (Hog, Zarya).
Out of 164.8 hours that she was played in OWL, 143.7 hours of it were played with Winston.
21.1 hours she was played without Winston and with some other composition.
Roadhog was played 21.5 hours. Zarya was played 8.25 hours.
That alone gives you an indication of something. The fact that she’s simply blatantly strong right now and that she can be used in any composition anytime without any opportunity cost. While also providing a ton of utility that other 2 tanks lack. So, yeah. If her pickrate does not go down after Brigitte patch, I’m fairly sure the devs will simply straight out nerf her. Deservedly. For a braindead easy hero to play, not really fair that she’s so strong.
It still gives her enough time to kill anything under 200HP in her sights. The rest will be killed by the charged Zarya and her pals.
No, it doesn’t. It has cast time. She will alert people prior to actually starting to destroy things. And even Lucio’s LMB sent at her will deal 80 damage to it. To give you an example of how easy it is to deliver damage to something stationary even tho it has extra HP. And the actual downplaying of matrix that you’re doing right now is simply disgusting.
Use Pharah’s, D.Va’s or Tracer’s ult. They ignore Transcendance. Or even one Junkrat grenade + mine will kill something.
Did I ask you for an advice? Do you think I don’t know what ults pierce transcedence? My point is, it’s difficult to play Zarya right now. D.Va is the main reason for it. Zen is #2 reason for it.
Not that I will change your mind anyway. Like Rocko, you will cry non-stop until you get your nerf. Try holding your breath, maybe Blizz will pity you and give it to you.
If you actually stood for a moment to take an honest look, you’d realize that she very much is in need of a one. But go ahead. Be like those D.Va mains who asked for buffs to her during Season 5 when she had pickrate of 10%. Go ahead. Be completely and entirely separated from reality when it comes to the balance of your hero.
