Well nobody likes double shield either, but that’s not a reason to buff matrix. The worst was matrix + shield, which is essentially double shield because it allows the shield to live longer.
I honestly don’t care how it stacked up against Zarya bubble damage blocked or whatever, matrix was always a horrible mechanic to play against.
because its a skill mechanic… that also can counter stun projectiles… really???
To buff diva we simply need to nerf Sigma
They already buffed matrix by decreasing is meter fill rate and Dva iSTILL bay far the worst tank.
And that’s not the meta either. When you only have 2 tanks, Amy other tank combo will put perform having a Dva now.
Dive is better served with Winston+Hammond once diving becomes a possibility. And that should have been Dva’s jam. But they nerfed thetnaynsrulrnsndnoiterally have it to Hammond .
Positional tanking? Sigma can do that with a positional, relatable shield that blocks more damage than DM and only has a 1s cool down .
Giving DM a 1.5s cool down and extending its range to help cover larger targets such as another tank easier won’t make her overpowered.
This interaction is just hecked, yes she can eat it but it must be bugged cause if you are on any angle its a 50-50.
I want the DM range to be increased from 10 m to 12 m and then revert cool down back to 1 second.
She’s been great for a very long time, let her have a break.
I don’t care if she’s not meta. I just want her to be remotely viable.
And being in as low of a rank as I’m in, wishing for any scrap of viability shouldn’t be a thing.
But she is still viable. Dva is still one of the tanks I see frequently.
And she was great for years. I’d rather see less of her, TBH
I mean, nerfing everyone other than D.Va would eventually make her the strongest hero in the game.
She’s the least picked and lowest winrate tank. Even if you include every hero, she’s 9th from bottom in pickrate, with the second worst winrate.
I don’t care, it’s taken years of her being at the top to get to this point anyway.
Give her a break.
I’d rather not always see the same 6 heroes being picked.
What’s with this community rejecting balance for pointless change ?
Yeah great, change the viable heroes (when D.Va was on top, we had 19 of those) just because.
Oh look, the game is massively imbalanced now, oh well, it’s fine, because it’s different. Never mind the viability of 80% of the cast being close to none.
as a d.va main, i love when theres a zarya
frew grav eat yum
Her stats say otherwise, friend. The meta is definitely a contribution, but hardly the only reason. You have seen less of her for a while now. Her only recent relevance has been goats, and even then she was frequently swapped out… in a composition that barely touched the lower half of the ladder. 
I’m in gold. Throughout every meta, even this current one, I’ve seen a heavy variance in what is played & what can work. I’ve seen every tank besides D.Va. I’m even seeing Winston a whole heck of a lot more, now.
I can play tanks I barely touch and consistently output more value than a hero I have hours of experience on, and have put time & practice in to learn extensively. I cannot even lock her in anymore. It doesn’t matter if I’m actually the issue or not anymore. People refuse to shield if I don’t pick a different off-tank. Locking in D.Va and swapping once everyone is out of spawn is becoming a more and more common thing.
She was balanced around a comp that isn’t possible, anymore. She needs compensation. Her recent buff is definitely a start, but it’s not nearly enough.
Actually, I’m still seeing LOADS of Dva.
She doesn’t need anything. She’s fine.
I highly doubt you do.
Again, she’s the least played tank and one of the least played heroes.
She has been on the bottom in terms of tank pickrate since 222, even at a gold level where the meta has more variance.
You must be playing an entirely different game than I.
She is still useful. Her ult is still a PITA. She’s still a lot more mobile than other tanks.
Since I moved to Korea, I’ve been playing on the Korean server. Korean players love mobility. I still see genji / doom 90% of games too. Typically: winston, dva, genji, doom, Moira, Mercy is what I’ve been seeing a lot of. Some times Mercy is switched for lucio / Zen / ana - but that set up is 90% of my games. And sometimes genji or doom, is switched for widow, hanzo, or tracer.
Dva, and the dps I mentioned, I want them to take a very long break. They’ve been highly picked heroes for a very, very long time, and I’d rather see something different.
One of the worst in the game.
Useless when Sigma does her job better without having to move. Mobility is only as good as what the hero can do without it. Right now, D.Va’s mobility is only good for feeding.
This is a thread discussing balance. If you want to drop your D.Va/Genji/Doom-induced salt, do so in another thread.
And if you have any issue with Genji or D.Va at the moment, I invite you to get good.
