Why the D.Va nerf?

You clutching out plays within 5Ms with your DM? Damn. What contenders team you on?

I know how much 5m is in game. Yeah, it is a big difference. How most people play Dva tho? With yolo team mates doing their thing etc? Not a big diff.

Outline some scenarios where this 5m diff is a make or break. Then tell me how common that sort of scenario is in yoladder solo Q bs.

Yeah…

It LITERALLY reduces the potential area she can cover with DM by a whopping 70% (and no, there is no typo).

Defense Matrix Area is nerfed by over 70%

With a range of 15 m she was potentially able to reach an area of ~14000 m³ around her with the Defense Matrix. When you reduce the range to 10 m the area is reduced to ~4000 m³. Basically the area her Defense Matrix can affect is reduced to less than 30% of it’s former size! Here is the math: 4/3 x 15³ x π = 14137,167 4/3 x 10³ x π = 4188,79
