Does anyone feel like defense matrix and kinetic grasp are just meh?

Don’t get me wrong, they’re great when in use, but since there are so many heroes that can just bypass it, doesn’t it just feel underwhelming?
You can have a full team that counters it.

DM? Perfectly fine as is

D.va Matrix is REALLY good, but the hero itself doesnt work much due to the current dominating tanks (Rein and Zarya)

Kinetic Grasp sucks

DM is D.va’s most powerful ability.

Kinetic Grasp is meh.

5

if they werent, they’d be hated abilities regardless of how fair they might be attached to the rest of the heroes kit

Dm is way too OP.
Dva needs to be demacked otherwise she eats ur ult for sure.

7

I mean, you can stun her or watch out for her, remember that DM has a CD

CD is the problem. It’s too predictable while Zarya’s gravi isn’t.

Yeah but it must have it due to the range it covers

10

With that range cut from 15m to 10 she can’t even save a hooked teammate or interrupt Cree from middle distance. Truly trash tier now.

I mean, a full ranged Hook is not that common in the first place

I think maybe Grasp could do one of the following:

  • grant shields from absorbed projectiles even if interrupted;
  • always grant a small amount of shields immediately upon use in addition to the converted shields (would make it not completely useless against melee and beam);
  • allow Sigma to move a little faster and fly a little higher when using it, to have a better chance to evade dangers and let him reposition to higher ground as opposed to just getting run over or forever backing away

Stun can mayby but in dm its too hard to not let dva eat my ult.
Idk how they do that.
Was kinda a joke that it needs to be nerfed. But I do legit feel like ita hard to play around other than showing insane respect to dva.

14

Not really, they counter mostly everything except for beam and melee damage. Some massive projectiles too, I guess, but whatever. It is near immortality.

15

DM should be able to eat beams as well TBH. D.Vas DM is situational and limited enough as is, it has the least uptime of all the tanks damage mitigating abilities… so it should also be the most powerful it stands to reason - instead Zaryas come in with their bubbles and just melts D.Va’s face like nothing.

They can melt D.Va’s face when they’re also willing to take a few hits in return.

16

They are great for countering Bastion, cooldowns, and ults. Plus, they can help you reposition behind cover.

17

Um first off how would that even work/look? Also no.

18

D.va’s armor, and large health pool counter beams.

19

Also, beam heroes are supposed to be bad at playing for map advantages, because corner peeking decreases dps, and because of range limitations. If beams are countering you, then it means you are not taking the map advantages, which is the entire point of playing D.va.

Kinetic grasp is probably the biggest reason sigma is meh. Using that thing kills you 50% of the time.
