Calling it now dva will still be hard meta.
She lost 50 armor but got 25 health.
Whoop d doo
Doesn’t change all the dmg buffs she got
The recent Winston nerf was more significant
Please fix before the weekend

Their GPT balancing don’t take updates that quick, they need at least 1-2 years to do so. Their spinal cords are too long to get signals to the brain if exists.

Okay.
And why should that not be the case?
Why are you judging 2024 Role Queue Balancing, by 2019 Open Queue standards?
Are you not aware that 3 is a larger number than 1?
Is it really that difficult?
What dva hard meta? Bc she’s been hard meta for the last couple of months and you can’t play any heros with guns against her…. in an fps
What if the devs are aiming for an “ideal pickrate order” and not doing the “Meta rotation” thing?
She lost 50 armor and 25 health AND armor was nerfed so she has about the same survivability as prior to the tank buffs (whereas most of the rest still have more). Meanwhile she also lost the interaction with Juno that was the reason she became the definitive number 1 tank. Basically it is unlikely she is the meta pick now.

Isn’t Winston getting more play than D. Va now anyway? If anyone’s gonna be hard meta, it’ll be him.

I mean… she was nerfed. Objectively.

This is a massive nerf. But she also received 3 more.
- Armor less effective
- Less knock back resistance
- Less speed in Juno’s speed ring.
If you think she’s still going to be meta, congratulations on being wrong. I’m calling it now, the next D.Va change will be a buff.

The main nerf was in the bug reports.
(for people that don’t know there was a bug where she got multiple speed enhancements from Junos ring so she could delete a person then get out in a split second)

Everyone always wants Winton to become meta then he just doesn’t. It makes me sad
Isn’t he meta right now?

Meta as a counter to D.va. Her not being good will likely drop him out of the meta. I think
Doom might creep up there again with Hog as the meta counter.
Orisa is also getting mircro buffed every patch so her time to be hated is coming back soon.
Hog can already mess with Winston (to an extent) so you may not be wrong about Hog coming into prominance. But, there are plenty of reasons why people run Winston right now that have nothing to do with D. Va.
His weapon ate D.va due to Armor changes
Now with nerfed armor changes less reason to pick either one
all of these were pretty necessary changes, i dont see why she needs knockback resistance when she can fly anywhere
Yeah, and it also ate other armored tanks. And it ate backlines, albeit without quite as much damage now.
He’s still gonna be very good unless everyone masters the art of countering him with RoadHog.
Reason you pick monkey into d.va was the armor just saying. With Doom probably being the best dive hog will feast as a counter.
you also picked monkey to ignore dm

Though hog will be the counter he might not be that fun as his only job will be to counter and not going for flank hooks.
I truthfully would like some rush down to return. Give me some Brig/Juno comps with rush down heroes please.
