And it is extremely annoying.
Didn’t see this in the changes anywhere, so I suppose this is not intended?

I am used to do a melee attack to cancel boosters every time. Not being able to do this anymore feels really weird and it throws me off the tempo. Can we have some feedback about this ? Is it intended or not ?

As a D.Va main, this is incredibly difficult to play with. Being able to cancel flight with melee allows her to quickly stop. Having to press LShift a second time is very awkward and I hope this was an unintended result of the game’s remake.
Please update this as personally I am nearly unable to play her anymore in this state.

I’d also like to put a +1 in for this. Being able to melee-cancel D.va boosters is a great function that should remain. Even if you have to add in a character-specific option to toggle this on/off would be welcome, but just having it be a default interaction between boosters and using melee, like in OW1, would be ideal.

Bumping this post. I have 800 hrs on Dva and I CANNOT get used to melee not cancelling boost. It’s part of my damage combo as well as a part of every day movement. PLEASE let us know if this is a bug or working as intended, because I’m really hoping it’s the former.

Bump.
Still in the game, not showing up in any patchnotes as far as I am aware.

Agree, please at least give us the option. Controling D.Va is a nightmare.

Melee to cancel was bread and butter dva movement, on a controller it streamlined things, I’m pretty sure it was a toggable option in ow1 control menus as I’m fairly sure I kept it on, regardless it ought to be an option

yep, this is really messing with my movement on dva!

Yes, agreed with all the comments above. after many years of playing D.va not being able to do this is incredibly jarring. Would be great if we could fix this if it’s a bug.

Bump. Yet another annoyed D.va player here. I need my melee cancel for boosters

Haven’t tried it yet with D.Va yet, but hitting the booster button (on Xbox console) a second time stops Reinhardt’s charge in mid flight so maybe it’s the same with D.Va now?

Yes, it is.
Though most D.Va players are so used to cancel it with melee, that it seriously messes us up whenever we forget that it doesn’t work anymore.

I thought this was intended? It’s really annoying not being able to do it anymore, but I thought it was a feature. Extremely irritating if it isn’t.

As far as I am aware it isn’t mentioned anywhere in patchnotes or hero change logs, so until they confirm that it is intended, I will consider it to be an annoying bug.

Ugh, that’s a shame. I’ve seen lots of people treating it like a new feature, and I have a feeling the devs are doing so as well. It’s nice for some extra damage, but it’s really hard to adjust to no more melee cancel, which was a great thing to have.
In the case that it becomes a feature, I hope it could be turned off, like Mercy’s GA options. What a mess.

Yeah, please add the melee booster cancel back, It’s hard to change muscle memory after hundreds of hours playing a character in a specific way.

Bump. Please bring this back, Blizz!

Agreed… I just played her on OW2 for the first time and threw two perfectly good plays because I didn’t know about this change. Muscle memory is a thing, hitting the same button twice is not intuitive. The old setting needs to be an option.

hmm, I wonder why they made this change. It’s really making her gameplay harder. Being able to have that DPS & movement precision is Key with D.va. It’s really hard to pull off the (boop, melee ,rocket ) combo now. Even basic D.va map navigation seems harder. I find my self overshooting targets and landing points constantly.
Really hope they make an option to change this soon. If not why do you think they change this? Does anyone have any thoughts ? Or better yet, any workarounds…
