Please nerf how often she can put this up. YOu nerfed Sigmas shield because it was too OP… DM in my mind is worse

She already got that nerfed years ago. It used to be instant, so you could just spam activate it and prolong it’s use while technically still being 100% useful.
It has a 1 second cooldown between deployings, but only lasts max 3 seconds.
Sigma’s shield has a 2 second re-deployment cooldown and it lasts forever unless shot at. He has his own defence matrix as a second cooldown as needed.
Dva’s dm getting that same 2 second redeployment cooldown, would need her to have a second shield cooldown to use if you want to compare her cooldowns to sigma’s.

She’s fine in 6v6. But in 5v5 if your tank isn’t going to play zarya or the rest of your team go a combination of beams then the game is often just a waste of time. She’s the tank that has a counter that you have to play or the game will be miserable.
They need to do something to make it less like this, or just commit to 6v6 where it’s not a problem. Matrix is up way too much and absorbs way too many things.
She’s the only tank that, if I can’t be bothered to switch to Zarya, I just sit back and take it easy and let the game end quicker and take the L. I don’t throw, but I also don’t put in much effort. She’s just going to eat all my damage anyway so why sweat it?

Or, your team just takes off angles and shoots at her from 2 directions. She can only block one at a time.
If you all stand in the same choke, the dm is good for that. A single dps takes a different angle and suddenly she starts taking dmg.
She’s not an undefeatable monster, you just need a fraction of game knowledge.

This is terrible mentality. You don’t see this type of thinking in high rank players.
Just shoot at her and drain her resources like you would any other tank. I swear everyone wants to take the easy way out with Dva using beams. 3 seconds is not that long compared to a shield tank that never has their shield go down.

Yes because that works… while she is eating everything… at least with Zayra the shield breaks. The way Dva is now her DM is broken. Its beyond broken and how fast it can regen along with her high mobility… then entire heroes kit is broken
Skill issue tbh. You’ve been given the answer already.

I dont listen to Dva mains… or any main… they all say their hero isnt busted
It takes 6 seconds to fully recharge after depletion.
Shoot from several directions.
1 flanker dps either makes her turn around to defend her team and you shoot her, or she keeps blocking your shots and the flanker gets dmg in.
Her weakness is being surrounded, just like rein shield. Neither can block more than 1 direction at a time, go around.
So either you rush her team or surround her, winston, and reinhardt can get base dmg in through matrix. Jq can dmg her with carnage, sigma and hog can stun her. Wrecking ball goes through her whole team.
Any nimble dps can get behind dva and pick off her team if 1 teammate is holding her attention from elsewhere.
Unless your team is running juno, ana, kiri or Lw she can’t even block heals from reaching you with matrix.

You don’t listen to people most familiar with D.Va listing her main weaknesses?
Like I said, skill issue.

No i dont. People who play xyz as their main rarely say their hero is broken. When obviously it is. So no I will not listen to a main player.
Hilarious that you think D.Va is good enough for her to be my main hero lol. I wish that was the case because she’s fun. I have to player other heroes instead though.

DM is has always been a broken tank ability
Alright but then we also nerf:
mauga “HAHAHAHAAAAH”
zarya bubbles.
Hog vape.
Orisa fortify.
Rein shield health.
Hazard block.
Doom block.
Hammond adaptive shields.
Sigma sucko mode.
Lets not nerf dm and ignore the fact that every tank is unfun to play into.
Damage sponges are not fun.
The 5v5 gigatank design is actually awfull.
Tank survivability needs to come down globally.

Hero bans make her bearable but overall i miss ow1 dva.
She was more fun as a dedicated off tank. Especially before brig.

Some of them yes do need a nerf… But not as much as DM
DM is literally the worst mitigation ability in the game.
Every other type of shield blocks more damage and more types of damage.
