Defense Matrix Area is nerfed by over 70%

[Knighthood-21706]

@moven-21567

Why did you use pi to calculate the volume of a prism? And is DM 15/10 m high and 15/10 m wide? These calculations are wrong!

@ProcyonNova-1247

You’re acting like defense matrix was spherical when it quite clearly is not.

@BlackBlade-21254

( and ur calculations are wrong btw)

@Kalzy-21196

that is not true though?

dva controls an area in front of her not like lucio in a circle, she got nerfed at where she points at not in a circle

that would make sense if lucio was the one that got nerfed in range, its like if mccree got nerfed in his range, you would use this math to say he got nerfed in a circle?

Made a thread in which I try to be a bit clearer to pin down what exactly we are talking about:

Learning with Academy D.Va - Today: Defense Matrix Nerf

좋은 하루 되세요. My name is Hana Song and I will be your private tutor for today’s lesson. Professor Winston told me, that some of you have trouble understanding the effects of the incoming Defense Matrix nerf, so I will try to explain it to you in an understandable fashion. This is me, standing on the point, using my Defense Matrix under current patch conditions. Right now it has a range of 15 m: [image] Now imagine my MEKA is holding a 15 m long green marker …

TL,DR:
The size of her defense matrix is reduced by 33,3%
The size of the space that she can potentially reach with it (which is a 30 or now 20 diameter sphere arround her) is reduced by over 70%
