I have been seeing a lot of “nerf D.va” threads lately, and the argument used to justify her getting nerfed is that she has 98% pickrates in pro play.
And as a tank ma… I mean a B.O.B main, I felt like I had to give my two cents about it. D.va doesn’t need a nerf just because she has high pickrates in the scene and ladder, she is simply flowing with the meta and has a place in it. The hero has strenghts and weaknesses, and her kit isn’t really that oppressive. She’s versatile, and reliable and does her job well.
What I’m saying is we should stop asking for D.va nerfs, at least until we see what the Brigitte nerfs will do to the meta first.
The only character that gives armor is Brigitte and she’s been nerfed enough, and armor before that wasn’t a problem even with Torbjorn armor pack before they got removed.
Which weakness can we exploit that would force the enemy to switch? The only usable one is that hook goes through and disables DM and that’s map dependent.
Debatable. The characters she oppresses most happen to not be very meta atm except Ana, who is difficult to drown in DM in the current meta. A better way to look at it is by looking at what counters Rein/Zarya/Brig, and why they aren’t effectively countering goats.
Well yeah. It’s not a crime to be a well rounded hero. More heroes should be like that. It’s only a problem if she was a must pick. Which she isn’t. D.va is fine
You know that she is slower when shooting with her primary right? And how beam weapons can go through DM, or how her critical hit box is massive and easy to hit? She has weaknesses.
There’s maps where D.va has some drawbacks, like how Junkertwon is a bad map for her ultimate for example. Seriously leave the tanks alone, and that’s coming from a Bob one trick.
Would you be kind enough to link threads asking for Reinhardt nerfs or invite me to them. Only thing I see in the main page is Tracer threads and supports complaining about how Blizzard is treating them because they cannot duel tanks anymore. Also a couple of threads asking for Sombra nerfs but that’s not gonna happen, soo…
I’ve got over 150 hours on D.Va, she’s not that hard to counter.
Roadhog, Sombra, Mei, Reaper, Mcree etc. can take her out fairly easily. Her damage output is terrible until she starts to get close, and can’t fire her primary through DM. And once she does start firing, her movement speed drops to a crawl. That combined with her massive hit box make her an easy target.
