No console players allowed in this thread. You don’t like D.Va? Plug in a keyboard and mouse and she’ll never bother you again. Seriously though, they need to nerf aim-assist for D.Va - she’s out of control for Controller input. This thread doesn’t apply to you guys.
D.Va has been hilariously bad for like 4 seasons now. Almost every large-scale change made to the game over the last 18 months (armour changes, the Damage-passive, etc) has disproportionally affected D.Va’s survivability more than other Tanks. Her ability to confirm kills was also affected by the Season 9 patch.
D.Va was at least playable with the Heavy Rockets perk (it at least let her confirm kills) but now that’s gone and she’s worse than ever. Currently, D.Va averages around a 46% winrate, including at the highest ranks. You don’t have enough damage to confirm kills properly and you can’t properly manage DM resources because the Damage passive means you die too quickly. Right now, if you manage to lose to a team running D.Va, you’re beating the odds. Congratulations, I guess.
Currently, playing D.Va is basically just an exercise in seeing how long you can try and make it work before you have to switch to a better Tank - especially at higher ranks.
As much as I’d like to think this can be fixed with changes to her Perks, I think base-kit changes are probably needed here if the Damage passive is going to remain as-is.
Even just reverting her weapon spread back to it’s original OW2 launch state would make actually confirming kills easier. It would be busted as hell on Controller though.
I’m more in favour of buffing missiles or her survivability - either is fine. They just need to pick a lane.
Even better, remove the Damage passive from the game entirely - no D.Va buff required at all in that case.
You thinking this is why people use dva shows you are uninformed, she’s such a low mechanically demanding hero. If you think dva needs buffs you are a delusional dva player.
no we need dva nerfs every time i get into a game with dva it end immediately because i lose because dva is so insanely overpowered with a minimum of 10 solo kills a game. nerf dva.
Not even a bad tank at all she just gets less value now that people aren’t playing hitscan much. There goes a lot of value you would be getting from denying or punishing some of the heroes in the game that don’t have absurd mobility/survivability.
her having a 46% winrate IN A DIVE META is proof she isn’t balanced.
I miss heavy rockets, but you should try the tighter spread perk when you’re up against a team that shields wouldn’t help with, it’s actually really good for confirming kills.
If you’re losing to dva in a 1v1 as reaper, you’re playing reaper wrong. She literally cannot outdamage your selfheal off her massive hitbox and critbox that you should not be missing. Literally get closer. If you’re in her face, you will win, or she will have to run away. She cannot hold space against reaper at all, you don’t even have to kill or demech her to win, just make it impossible for her to do her job by forcing her to run.
I do not even believe that, to be honest. Even if she had bugged aim assist, it just does not make any sense. Aim assist is not even strong like PC players believe.
Yikes!!!
Firestrike should pierce DM just to get rid of your smug attitude.
that is the only difference between console dva and pc dva, so it’s the only possible explanation for how she can be dominating on console and absolutely garbage on pc.
So what you are saying is, “don’t buff dva because I am bad”. This seems to be the most consistent thing you do and every time people correctly deduct its a skill issue.
Its even more hilarious when you bring up the fact she shouldn’t be buffed because your only frame of reference is the fact you only play Reaper.
Dva is either hyper oppressive or kinda meh. I think Winston is healthier for the game. However I do notice when I play with my friends in lower rank no one plays Winston while in gm all I see is Winston. So idk what’s going on their but imo Winston is probably the tank that’s the best to be meta in 5v5 due to him being one of the least frustrating to play against while dva just kinda either eats everything or instantly kills u or both. Id rather her be slightly weaker she can feel unfun to play against.
this is why the tank role is garbage, because they balance not for fairness but for specific biases against specific heroes. dva is not allowed to be playable because dps dislike her even if she objectively mathematically is blocking way less damage than ANY shield tank while having to BOOSTER SOMEWHERE to do it (leaving another place wide open), meanwhile sigma can stand still and toss a shield at the widow 30000000000 km away and negate her entirely.
She needs a rework. Too many tanks are treated as DPS characters with insane sustain capabilities. They have been due for nerfing for a while now. If they want them tanky then that’s fine, they should never be tossing out more damage than a dps. She’s called the no skill multikill for a reason.
This just shows ur low elo and lack the understanding of the game. The one character just removed sig shield by existing XD. And u think that “negates her completely” lmao. Also dva does the same thing. Just DM the target she’s shooting at lol. And it doesn’t use an entire resource.
