Why does DVa have such high uptime with matrix?

Like, it feels like an april fools patch that didn’t get changed.

ye thats why i try to ban her every match.

on some maps she is litteraly a god, especially with zarya banned pretty often

but as i play in a team of 3 lately, we are guaranted to see dva banned everytime we need and it goes VERY well when she isnt around

You seem to be in some parallel dimension where dva has more DM than normal.

Because of 5v5, no other reason. This is what happens when you force an off-tank to become a main-tank in 5v5 without doing any rework for the hero and just adjust their numbers to make them viable.

tbh sometimes i suspect dva players to manipulate time, because her dm feels like it last an eternity, and recharges instantly lmao

omg, I feel this so much.

yea 5v5 was the culprit. i do remember the original classic thing coming back or the launch one and i was surprised how d.va started out lol… i dont remember it being that bad. she has slowly crept in power over time.

but yea… 5v5 really messed with a lot of heroes and changes. then you had the season 9 changes. game is totally different

d.va is strong tho, everytime i play her im like …THIS IS FUN!!!

i played her today in an open queue 6v6 quick match. felt like being a fill so when everyone picked what they wanted i was the 2nd tank and d.va wasnt selected. i think my other tank was sigma

game is JA5H7C

i dominated as d.va till the last point. then i started to struggle and kill myself trying to force my team through the choke on last point. was so mad lol that my team was passive

The tank buffs in general should have been for April fools only, go read them again. For two straight patches, every single one got buffed, and people tell me that the game is balanced…

tanks were literally unplayable. that’s what getting buffed two straight patches tells you. imagine how awful they were to play before them lol.

OW tank design leans heavily on abilities being super valuable and necessary for tanks to not explode. If D.Va doesn’t have enough DM time then she immediately turns into Feed.Va.

People talk a lot about the season nine changes being bad, but I personally think the season ten-and-a-half tank changes were much worse for the game. More reliable armour was a better tool for allowing tanks to be tanky baseline, allowing tank abilities to be less important, and they threw it away in favour of the unwieldy OW1 armour system.

They use it in pulses, not all at once.
Like pharah jetpack fuel.
Tapping the button gives better results than using all of it at once, and prolong’s the effect.

how come tank used to be fun and isn’t since all the buffs?

Don’t ask me, I quit tank in ow2 s9 never to return until that garbage is reverted. so basically never.

it all started in s9 and got worse with each patch afterwards.

for tanks I believe fun was lost in s9 and skill was removed in s12

Better question, why aren’t you a beam character then? Zarya, Winston, Mei, Symm, Moira got beams she can’t eat and Rein and Brig got melee weapons she can’t absorb either.

It’s so fun to play against D.Va in Stadium with projectile based heroes. NOT. She’s just eating all projectiles in like 355° space. It’s ridiculous. It get seven worse when paired with Genji. You can basically just sit there and not actually hit anything for minutes.

They should bring 4 sec DM back so people like OP or samito🤢 lose their minds, it would be funny

I dunno, why does the sun have such a high uptime with the sunshine?

Why does a hummingbird have such a high uptime with the humming?

Matrix is the only real tool that Dva has
