Will it happen? Iam trying to be very unbiased in this. Iam Genji main, so Dva is free ult charge and isnt problem for me. If i was biased, i would want to nerf Moira, which i dont want.
But its getting really extreme lately, she is just a bit stronger then another tanks and there isnt any reason to not have her as one the tanks. She is absolutely everywhere now. I know balance is based mostly around comp but qp and other modes also exists and just by picking Dva you already have major advantage against uncoordinated teams.
I think she is just a bit too much atm, please dont hate me, i dont want to nerf her any drastically by any means. But at this point i must join a bit unpopular opinion and say that she really needs a little tuning down.
I was playing one more month after i felt like that, but i really feel that she is the strongest hero atm.
What do you think? Is she really that fine? Dm bot wasnt fun, but this bursting monster isnt ideal either. If you would nerf her, do you have any suggestion?
Iam looking forward normal feedback :).

No it will not happen, you whiners can whine along, it won´t happen - simply because DVa got nerfed several times to the state she is at now and everybody knows she is not OP.

Whiners… iam not whining, i just dont think she is in healthy state now for overwatch and is reaching pretty must pick at high elo, which is never good.
But thanks for opinion.

It went (basically) like this.
Launch state -> DM bot-> aggressive -> DM bot -> aggressive.
First people were like “we can’t kill her because of DM”
Now it’s “she keeps killing us because of missiles”
What do you want now? DM bot or dive tank?

i dont think shes op at all. in fact im surprised she gets played with sombra being used now. a hacked dva is a mekless dva.

She is a 600 HP assassin that can delete most DPS instantly. And she’s by far the most important asset of the Dive Comp. Maybe.

Yeah, i dont have anything against DVa in particular. I just think she reached unhealthy state and tuning her down a bit would be good for some change in meta and Overwatch in general. Otherwise she will stay no1 for long, not sure how much Brigette will affect her.

Tell that to her winrate, pickrate and the OWL, lol.

Mercy also got multiple nerfs before the final one recently, that alone means absolutely nothing. And her last change was not even a nerf, her new burst damage ability placed her in a way better spot than before.
She is better than any other tank and she is played even more than pre nerf Mercy. It’s a matter of time before they change her.

Don’t nerf D.Va. Buff me instead.

Is she a must pick though? Obviously not. Is she viable in many comps and is overall good? Hell yeah.
She’s in a good state now, basing your bs nerf requests on popularity aka pick rate, and win rates, is just idiotic.

I don’t wanna nerf her, but how exactly did she get nerfed several times?
The only nerfs that she got were:
- Armor decreased to 200(was 400)
- Defense Matrix’s resource meter will now deplete twice as quickly
And she got several buffs to compensate for the nerfs
- Fusion Cannons can now be fired while flying
- D.M.'s energy regeneration per second has been increased to 12.5% (formerly 10%)
-Got Micro missiles
-Health increased to 400(was 200)
-Bullet damage decreased from 3 to 2
-Number of bullets per shot has been increased from 8 to 11
There was also a patch, on the first months of the game, where she got her ult nerfed, but D.M. was buffed.
There hasn’t been a patch where she only got nerfs. And her pick rate has, overall, either remained the same or increased.
If you said that she’s already gotten several changes, then I’d agree.
To Op:
No, I don’t think it will happen

I honestly don’t get why some DPS mains are having trouble handling D.Va. Reaper is good against D.Va, Junkrat is also effective vs D.Va if you get her to use up her short defense matrix. Even Roadhog can give a D.Va hell if the team capitalises on the successful hook that brings her out of position. She has a massive crit box. D.Va’s range damage is mediocre, she can only deal a lot of damage at close range and even then with a coordinated team she could be taken out of her mech fairly fast.
First you wanted her defense matrix nerfed so naturally she had to be buffed somewhere else to make her useful again. Now it appears that you also want her replacement buffs to be nerfed without anything to replace it that’s actually useful?
Mercy was killed off leaving her with a standard kit that’s viable but an ultimate that’s braindead and has pretty much minimal potential impact. Moira I’m sure will be next for some DPS mains to get nerfed, primarily Genji mains I’ve observed since Moira is fairly good against Genji.
Tanks and supports deserve as much of a potential impact as DPS heroes get. Last but not least, you can’t truly and fully compare OWL to competitive/quick play. Unless you play in a six stack with regular people you know then that’s the only potential way you can compare the gameplay. Mercy for example, in OWL, I’ve observed a handful of matches where she was actually consistently picked whereas most other times I’ve noticed she’s picked mainly to damage boost someone and then once that someone switches off then the Mercy also switches off.

It should happen but i dont think it will happen in the near future.
Because dva is OP but not cancer
Dva is low skill but has a high skill ceiling so lower ranked players adore her

False, many pros call her OP with good reason, you can play her in any situation and call it a good pick, you’ll rarely ever question a D.Va pick.

Brigitte will change the Meta to “not dive only anymore”-Meta.
Rein will rise. OWL will not play DIve-Only anymore.
So more than 2 tanks will be seen.
Whiners in forum will stagnate.

One or two is not many and the Pros will soon develop new teamcomps.
Sorry but your silver, i dont think you know what the pros will do
Sorry but harsh truth
So you just managed to list at least 4 nerfs.
Yes, they always gave something back in return, but people didn´t ask for all that stuff.
Release-DVa-mains just wanted their armor back for 1 year.
Now DVa-mains are ok how she is, but we will not be ok with further nerfs.

Even if Dive falls out of Meta, She is still an amazing off-tank. She has a better defensive ability than Zarya. Zarya is very map dependent while D.Va is extremely versatile and stellar on all maps.
