DVA bomb need a buff

Suddenly there are so many additional armors…
Lucio armor buff,
Brig armor ult…

Dva bomb is meant to prove powerful explosion that make the opponent runs…
The ult has a lot of time and enough warning for opponents to run and it seldom get any kill at all…

I hope the dev should consider buffing the DVA ult bomb for additional 200hp damage to make sure that the bomb is still a threat.

Incoming d.va nerf !

I mean it does 1000 dmg if ur close enough, brig armor shouldnt really save them unless they are near the outskirts of the explosion. And lucio ult was buffed for exactly this reason, to actually have a chance to save from burst dmg.

Don’t ask for a buff that means she’s gonna get a nerf! :see_no_evil:

She should get 2 bombs

Shhhh! Don’t say anything or she’ll get nerfed and the nerf will be worse than the buff!

D.VA bomb is fine. I got a quintuple and 2 quads in one match. If your opponents aren’t smart enough to disperse/shield it that is on them.

as a dva main i think her bomb is fine, it takes good timing and positioning to get multiple kills with it but with experience i have gotten able to do it pretty consistantly
the only thing i think it questionable is the damage nerf on her boosters xD

Even with a perfectly timed Lucio ult, it will kill any squishy (750+200=950). And Brig armor? Lol.

make it 2 sec detonation.

her ult is so underwhelming now that using it as 2nd life will likely get you killed with the burst damage flying around

Neither Brig nor Lucio will save from a D.va bomb, unless Lucio ults a Roadhog or something.

Yes, The devs freaking hate D.Va.
She apparently gives them the most technical problems of any hero and every rework or buff eventually leaves her worse off than before.

She doesn’t have outstanding damage output, sturdiness, mobility or team utility, yet people will FIND something to take away from her. They’ll MAKE UP a problem to pin on her.

Oh, I be runnin’, trust me

Watch some overwatch league. Specifically Space and Poko have made excellent use of her bombs. You’re probably progressing beyond the point where just lobbing it into the other team works, and now have to actually time and place the bomb to get good effects.

D.Va bomb can be used for combo (dealing 1000 damage), as a zoning ult and to get your mecha back if someone destroys it. It’s a perfectly fine ult. It can all characters ingame, why do you want it buffed?

I think there is a guardian angel that would like to have a word with you :stuck_out_tongue:

The only buff her bomb needs is maybe a slightly shorter timer. It used to be 4 seconds then got reduced to 3 seconds maybe they could reduce it to 2.5 seconds. The radius is fine and the damage is 1,000 anymore would just be overkill.

I’ve no pity for that flying piece of trash.
D.Va’s on version 6.5
The latest .5 removing much of her burst damage in part because Golden Sky Rat mains whined so much about getting dived on.

mercy being viable is good for the health of the game.

ana being contested half the time at key fights unable to heal is bad or moira having really inconsistent heals cuz resource and barriers is no good either…

it would be like nerfing rein/winston to the point of uselessness cuz they are effective at what they do…

another example is that i also think widow is in a good place but the only problem is that she brings out so much hackers if you know how to look at aimbot’s artificial flicks…she is good at what she do with counter play…but people complain so nerfed…
