She was never the easiest are you joking?
Love to know your personal playtime on her hours wise?
I mean i can agree Darth, Zarya always seemed the most brain dead to me but i guess it’s all personal opinion supposedly.

I say just hard revert D.VA to her being a semi main tank again
Back when she had 400 armor and 200 hp and 4 sec of matrix with no cd? I’d call that easy. But it’s been awhile.
Also DVa is my most play tank and like 5th most played character.
If I want to be successful with D.Va, and actually have serious impact in my team play, this is the kind of team comp I’m limited to now:
In Season 3, I could get away with running D.Va as a solo tank. From Season 4, up through D.Va’s rework, I needed a main tank and a main pocket healer (preferably Mercy). Some time around the rise of the shield-spam comps and now especially after the introduction of Baptiste as a hard to her bombs, I need to include a Sombra who is willing coordinate closely with me.

She’s hated by most we all know how well she plays scapegoat and i doubt anything will happen until 2-2-2 comes and the game can be balanced around that.
Less for people to play around, like i said before its only mains/people who have invested time into D.Va that actually care enough to speak up against this blatent over nerf treatment to a community where the majority doesn’t actually care as it benefits them her being weak.

Honestly she feels alot more balanced now if you ask me. I never had any real love of hate for d.va, but now she actually has to make a conscious effort to DM incoming damage/ults. It was way too forgiving on the range to begin with.
Kinda like Genji’s old deflect hitbox. It was way too forgiving and deflecting stuff he wasnt even trying to deflect.
Yeah, if you ever play a non-dps comp (it’s been awhile since I haven’t played with 3-4 insta lock dps and just ran with it…), right now Road should be your off tank of choice, particularly as Orisa has taken over as the primary tank played.
What worries me the most is people are going to start raging when I pick D.Va like they do when I use Winston. Everyone complains in game, but then when you come to the forums he’s suddenly considered balanced.

Had the same thought before when i was considering doing placements earlier.
Terrible feeling tbh.
The sentiment lately is both D.va and Winston are really weak.
Winston being the weakest as of now.
I’d love to see him recieve buffs and more playtime as a result honestly.
But there’s just no reason to pick him,
Hammond does his job so much better and just outclasses him right now honestly.

Youve obviously havnt tried playing reinhardt recently. If there’s one tank you have to baby it’s him. He can either be the anchor for your team or completely worthless, there’s no real middle ground unlike dva who can still 1 vs 1 alot of squishy flankers and peel.

Idk why they ever gave her micro missles when they said they never wanted her to be a bruiser.
They should’ve consolidated some her tanking into a second ability.
She was doomed to be forever squishy when they decided to make her more into a DPS
The armor nerf screwed him over badly.

1.65% pickrate and 45.83% winrate in masters now btw. 2.5% pickrate and 47.15% winrate on GM.
“Balanced hero” btw. :’)
“Dva is fine, learn to adapt”
You can get a good laugh at taking a look at bronze dva tho. 37% winrate. They dared to use dva on current meta when new season rolled around and paid heavily for it.
Only place to decent with dva is in gold and plat. Which is average playerbase. Everywhere else, you can only dream because she melts like butter and hits like a wet noodle. Pickrates are nonexistent and unlike rest of the niche picks that do well in niche situations like Mei, she does very poorly in every single rank. Dva is not a niche pick, she is a fairly versatile hero who COULD do a lot. Now the impact of what she can do has been diminished to the point that she’s more harm than good for not being more niche.
She’s been tossed to the bin even in OWL and they’re not even on current patch yet.
Dva is bad and needs help, especially if we’re gonna get role lock. She’s worse than pre-buff mccree and sombra.

for me it was the boop changes. It was bad before now i wont even bother him at points like 2nd point eichenwalde cause ill never make it past that bridge if even 1 enemy has a boop on em.
Peeling became much harder.
You have to play more defensively on the backline as D.Va to compensate for the DM range nerf.
Personally found my Ana/Zen dying more often as i got used to this change, or a pulse bomb would make it through where as before it wouldn’t and that’s tilting within itself honestly.
Yet you have to be close to the frontlines with her to have an impact and do your job?
Counter intuitive much?

I do think Winston is balanced. However, I think he’s a victim of powercreep. He’s still being used (in fact, just the other day Vancouver [one of the best teams in the league] used a comp on Numbani that was Winston-Zarya-Sombra-Brigitte-Ana(Ithink)-Zen(I think)). No D.Va though.

Winston hasn’t been nerfed at all. Winston is fine, he’s just very poor in bunker meta when he doens’t have a friend to go with him, with dva being so piss poor tank you’d have to be masochist to use winston/dva dive nowdays. And not having friends to dive with or protection for dive is a death sentence.
