D.Va: A High skill celling tank who doesn't get value [Rant]

Blizzard, how are you this out of touch with the community?

I thought we ALL knew this: High Skill Celling Heros Should be Able to Get value!!

And guess what! D.Va doesn’t get value even if your doing really well, your still feeding the enemy ult charge! That’s why D.Va isn’t played with Winston until she’s banned! Because D.Va is a horrible tank, who can’t do what a TANK can.

Blizzard, stop being scared of nerfing her! It took you 6 months to get your act together with the boosters, and now- look at us. Nothing good as changed, her playrate is trash, and her pick rate is even worse.

D.Va deserves a lot of buffs if she want’s to stay a “tank.”

Also

The Fact that you were making sigma when D.Va was getting nerfs and nerfs on top of nerfs, just sicken’s me! You release a character that does D.Va’s job better because D.Va got nerfed to the ground! Hypocrisy!

How can we fix D.Va?

  • Nerf other tanks
  • Buff her Armor
  • Buff her defense matrix (yes blizzard, don’t be scared to touch her defense matrix range)
  • Look at her damage, see if it needs adjusting.
  • How long it takes to get demeched

^^ All of these are problems that need to get looked at. How can D.Va tank when she gets demeched every single fight. You can argue that she has a “defense matrix” but let’s be real. That doesn’t help. Defense matrix’s size still doesn’t match with D.Va. Her hit-box is too big, and over-all, why can’t we buff her armor?

She doesn’t have a 4 second defense matrix anymore! Buff it! Buff her armor for her reworked defense matrix!

Buff this!

She needs buffs. I agree. Btw she did win that competition post I had two days ago. The majority agrees that D.Va is the worse tank! She wins the :poop: crown.

Now if blizzard could stop being a bunch of pansies and give her some love.

You know if they do though a bunch of noob dps mains will be crying for nerfs though.

I want D.Va’s old fire back. She and Winston should be eating dps for breakfast.

If you have no plans to nerf dps and powercreep then buff others that can deal with them to compensate!!!

Justice for D.Va!

Why does Zarya need a nerf?

She’s one of the reasons D.Va isn’t played.

D.Va had a 2.5% pick rate in OWL during the month, and then Zarya got banned, her play rate went to 11.2%. Incredible.

So… nerf Zarya because D.va isn’t played?

You serious?

Zarya has been meta longer than D.Va has, I think she deserves a nerf.

And again, she’s pretty much insane-

I’d love to answer that one. Zarya has been getting under the bus buffs from everything else getting nerfed.

No shields better/quicker charge rate, more dps burst damage/ better/quicker charge rate. Less healing or supports to stop her- kill kill kill.

Historically she has always been a very strong off tank. She always pairs well with mostly anyone.

She isn’t even that hard to play. Once upon a time she had more skill like 2 years ago.

Now I could throw a bubble out without thinking And get max charge 40 most of the time.

At the very least I’d like to see a a higher decay timer on her charged gun.

I’ve been wanting Zarya to be toned back still the end of last year. I started to notice her climb after them nerfing shields in October of last year.

I think d.va only needs a slight range buff on dm, maybe 12-15m instead of 10m, but outside of that i don’t think she needs anything really, it’s simply not her meta and has been like that ever since goats ended

Zarya was played in:

  • Double sniper
  • Winston dive
  • Grav-Dragon
  • Goats
  • Double Shield
  • Rein/Zarya meta for over 6 months

Hmm…

Zarya getting charge is an enemy team error most of the time though, and she does less damage than she used to because that got nerfed

Zarya is only meta when Rein is meta though, except the one Winston time I guess

Why are you so worried about Zarya anyway? She isn’t the reason D.va isn’t getting picked

I used to think that and would have agreed a year ago, but with dps being overtuned and shields being bye bye it’s not that hard to throw a bubble on someone in a choke and get max charge anymore.

I’m being dead serious. A nerf to decay on her gun would be a nice balance.

“Don’t shoot the bubbles” isn’t a thing because Zaryas will get charge by bubbling someone in the line of fire. It’s not an enemy team error; it’s an inevitability.

Zarya does borderline OP damage when allowed to be meta. And she is and has been for ages.

It probably would be, but Zarya still isn’t a priority target anyways

Everyone complains about tanks getting nerfed, and yet still suggest nerfs to them

Zarya does like what, 165 dps? It’s not that crazy

And there are times when giving her charge will be unavoidable, but mitigating how much charge she gets is always possible.

*She does 170 dps at 100 charge

*170 DPS

and a 15m beam

and bubbles that block ALL damage and CC?
