D.va and her total dominance over every meta

General Discussion
1

As we all know D.va is the one hero that no matter what meta it is she is always a great pick and pretty much a must.

Dive Meta? D.va is one of the most important heroes in Dive.

Triple Tank? D.va is there.

GOATS? You guessed it D.va is there.

And this is because D.va was and is OP, D.va is Op for Multiple reasons.
Lets Begin shall we?

First of all D.va has Extremely high health along with her armor and this is supposed to be because of her big critbox , you would think that that is only fair right, well not really because D.va has probably the best ability in the game in Defense Matrix which makes her have effectively no weaknesses.

But such a high health on a character wouldn’t be so problematic,
if it wasn’t for her very high dmg, now high dmg on tanks is a problem overall
as we all know that the dps currently are unplayable because of tanks but thats
a can of worms that we will open another time.

As said above D.va deals too much dmg for being a tank with such high health,
but even this D.va with high dmg and health would still be ok, if she didnt have so much mobility which can be compared to that of Tracer.

Making D.va an absolute must pick for 1 1/2 to 2 Years now in no matter which meta is being played.

So its pretty clear that D.va needs nerfs, so what to nerf is the queston?

For Starters Shooting missiles while having DM up should be a big no no
as it makes the d.va take half or more of your health without you even being able to do anything.

Secondly Boosters, either raise the cooldown or lower the time she can use them

And finally DM the elephant in the room. DM needs to either not be on a resource meter or it should just be removed for some other ability, I do not see another way of balancing DM

Hopefully the Devs have a chance to look at this thread and start to realize that having D.va on every meta and her having such a high pickrate is not ok.

DM should lasts 1 second and recharge in 12.

Booster CD increased to 8 seconds.

Armor removed she already has 600hp

Missiles are fine.

Ult damage reduced to 400hp it shouldn’t do 1000 damage.

The dm nerf seems a bit to harsh, maybe 2 seconds of use for such a long cooldown .
and her ult is not really that big of a problem

increase booster cd by 1-2s increase ult costs by 25%
add direct competition to d.va

the thing with d.va is that she’s the hero that prevents a lot of other heroes from ever seeing competitive play but is also needed to keep others in check

She has the best offensive ult from the entire DPS roster and can just use it from safe spot.

She shouldn’t get a time wipe while hiding as Pilot.

Tanks are already pushing dps out of the game so buffing them even more doesnt seem like a good idea to me .
Than you would have to buff DPS so much to stay in the game

lmao, you can seriously tell people think Brig and Doom got nerfed because of the forums, rather than because the devs look at the stats.

Quick keep making topics, if you hit the magic secret number of nonsense topics about D.Va, Jeff will personally code an all new version of her for you.

No, supports are running the game. They can out heal damage thats the problem. And its Lucio that enables GOATs

And that really tells you all you need to know about the people still whining for a nerf: They’re the same crowd who think the Ult that barely outperforms Primal Rage in kills is the best in the game

Anyway , if you guys keep saying she’s always been meta, I’ll keep pointing out that:

People keep saying that but I’m not particularly convinced, especially when you consider comps outside 2/2/2.

Amazing how this super OP version of D.Va is currently outclassed by Zarya on the ladder.

But they can outheal DPS dmg but not Tank dmg thats why u have 3 tanks cus rein zaray and dva do so much dmg and have so much health.
I agree that something needs to be done about all the AOE healing

Compare it to Riptire.

Junkrat cannot move and his tire can be killed.

Phara / Mcree are stuck in position completely exposed.

Reaper can get stunned hacked/ killed. extremely easy.

D.va? nope just booster > throw mech > hide > lucky 2-3 kills every time.

Nobody gets 2-3 kills every time with her ult even in Bronze’s QP.

you forgot that in s10 where she isnt mata was probably one of the most cancerous meta ever

dps pretty much doesnt get to play due to grav dragon and snipers shutting everything down before people really get to do anything

i’m mostly referring to widowmaker here when i say that

anyways, have you seen those jayne tournaments that have hero bans? once d.va gets banned the hero pool expands significantly and it’s interesting to see things we’d never otherwise see like see in more hog or hammond in dive or winston/zarya
