She has one of the lowest pickrate with the lowest winrate in gm. Even in lower rank her stats are pretty bad.
Do you think she needs a rework ? Is DM what’s keeping her from being a fun character.
Could they remove dm and buff everything else. (Dm is barely working anyway)
I personally have no issue with DM. I don’t know why Jeff hates it.
I think DM just needs a minor buff and a tiny bit more armor.
She’s not the worst hero but she needs buffs.
She could be especially because you can just pick Sigma to fill her role. Or the much stronger Zarya.
She is, only three characters have worse pickrate but better winrate.
I would say she is an absolutely throw pick right now.
But I think all that’s needed is a better DM. Pretty much eveyone disagreed with the last nerf to her and even if its not a revert we are seeing Pharah being played more so we might see Dva return naturally. And with Dva comes Winston.
So I don’t think it will take much to get these heros back on top. I don’t think anyone complained about DM anyway. Just the devs trying to shake her out of being a must pick in the meta while not actually being the main tank or driving force of any meta. But now with extra sheilds I doubt she will ever be needed as much as she used to be.
But it seems Jeff dislike dm. For some reason, they might not buff it again.
Hates DM yet has no issue with Sig’s version.
It’s cool down I guess.
Then again, Jeff did say Kinetic Grasp wouldn’t be able to eat ults, and we saw how that turned out… 
She’s not the worst character.
She doesn’t need a rework, and she doesn’t need DM removed. She just needs some minor buffs. She’s underpowered right now, not the worst hero in the game {cough} Bastion {cough}, but she is the worst tank at the moment.
Really, I think she either needs DM to be 15 meters again or honestly just reduce the size of her critbox. If it required more aim than wild shots in her general direction to get a crit on her, she might be good.
They basically gave sigma a DM that gives him shields on top of everything.
She just needs buffs.
I’m biased here. DM is my favorite thing in the game so I’m going to say keep DM.
I actually think the thing keeping her from being a stronger character is pilot mode. Blizzard seems to have always lived in absolute fear of pilot mode. When she launched she had something like a 50% slowdown when she’d shoot, DM was on long cooldown and the self destruct would kill her. It’s like they thought they had to make the mech as crappy as possible to make up for the fact that she can pop out of the thing.
And I actually think that to an extent that philosophy is still carrying through to this day. Why else is the thing made of paper mache if not to get you out of it? I like pilot mode in some ways, it’s a unique mechanic, baby dva’s pistol is fun and it shows off all the work the artists put into making her pilot mode skins. But, it’s not the mode that you actually pick dva to play and getting stalled as pilot dva is just sad.
Answers? I got none. But I do think they should revert the last round of DM nerfs, they were entirely unnecessary and excessive. Of the two the range nerf bothers me the most personally but I’d be happy to see both changes shown the door.
Could you imagine if DM actually gave Dva shield? But yeah she does need some form of buff, even if that buff is just going back on some old mistakes. 2-2-2 is gone, They said some things would have to be tweaked, and it’s clear some things need to be.
Take 50~100 HP off her and give her DM the ability to generate X amount of shield, just like Sigma’s Kinect Grasp, but weaker since DM can’t block Roadhog’s Hook or Brig’s Whip Shot.
Blizzard ought to do better than that. Differentiate between Sigma’s and D.Va’s respective abilities.
-DM gives D.Va a temporary (2 seconds maybe?) damage boost, scaling in the same fashion as Sigma’s ability.
That leaves Sigma with the projected shield, and tankier self-sustain, while D.Va can become a larger threat on the battlefield with it.
DM’s ability to stop select few overtuned ultimates is what’s keeping Blizzard from properly balancing her. DM itself is on the weaker side compared to barriers, only projectile ult negating part of it is problematic.
But that’s not the problematic part; it’s the lack of other ways to prevent overpowered projectiles that aren’t ultimates. Sigma didn’t even really help this due to the nature of kinetic grasp being closer to a self-peel like deflect than an ability that protects others. DM is only as strong as the projectiles it uniquely blocks. And graviton surge is very strong and otherwise basically uncounterable unless you pop transcendence or something. Most ults have a variety of non-ult counterplay. Except these projectiles.
D.Va is pretty good. Call meka is the fastest charging ult in the game and it does AoE damage.
It’s really funny how he’s saying dm was a bad idea while giving a stronger version of it to sigma.
Yeah man, that grav+ summon meka combo is insane.
