D.Va needs to perma fly in OW2

D.Va is probably one of the worst heroes at solo tanking.
She’s a close range tank, with a massive hitbox and no barriers.

She definitely needs a superior mobility, more than any other tank.

Reduce her boosters cooldown to 3 seconds max.

And give her some sort of glide mechanic that is less pronounced than Mercy. Make her float but falls back to the ground more quickly.

We could also consider increasing her booster speed by a decent amount

Impossible with the current state of supports without adding more CC, which would be the logical option but I’m not holding my breath.

No. Just no. I think that D.Va is doing pretty well as a c-b tier tank being way better than hog and JQ. She has had armour buffs and I’d say with her current DM and flight cool-down she’s in a good spot. I do not wanna be chased relentlessly around the map by a literal cinematic version of D.Va lol :joy:

Remove her movement speed penalty.

Increase the range and duration on DM.

Done.

Pharah or Mercy must be your main

I’d definitely like to start here. I think being unable to chase anyone anywhere has been the biggest frustration. Squishies with 1 hp turn a corner and they may as well be in another zip code because the only way I can chase is with boosters and then I have no exit strategy. If movement penalty went away, it would be a lot easier to punish people for trying to get in my face. And don’t nerf the guns or add reload either, it’s punishment enough that effective range is 10m and the damage isn’t that hot to begin with. If they add reload to the guns we need to both ditch movement penalty and increase damage.

No. Perma fly for DVa sounds like instant death for Mercy lol.

Yeah, so thankful for the “buffs” that bring her back up to OW1 amount of armor. D.Va has had the most nerfs and the least buffs for all tanks going into OW2, and every buff except 1 more second of DM, 50 more health (lol), and tighter spread has just been reverting those nerfs. D.Va doesn’t need a ton of buffs, but she needs to be adjusted beyond her OW1 status, just like every other tank was.

3 second boosters

15 meter DM

These two things would fix a lot of her issues. Micro missiles need buffs desperately. a lot is on the table for her potentially

Remove all perma flight in general.

OVERWATCH SHOULD BE A NO FLY ZONE :no_entry_sign:

(GA and D’va’s Boosters not included)

we need unlimited flying for the mercy combos
more shields more boosters upgraded rockets better fuel capacity we need bling* DVA
as well as an MP3 Jukebox in her MEKA

Let me melee to cancel her boosters

  • Old boosters damage
  • Old primary damage (get rid of micro missiles and primary during boosters)
  • Old DM range

And fix the 6 year old bug of melee not cancelling boosters in the first second, which some genius at blizz now turned into a feature.

Dva can fly way too long way too often way too fast as it is. It should go the other route and be nerfed.

No.

She already is, you just don’t know how to abuse it

Imagine! Torbjorn with a jackpack!

i’d rather

  • Movement penalty for primary reduced from 40 to 30%
  • micro missles cooldown reduced from 8 to 6s
  • eating an ultimate with DM gives dva 25-30% ultimate charge

No she doesn’t need Perma-Fly.
