New Dva Changes

New Dva changes are being tested internally. They include shortening her defnese matrix uptime, being able to fire fusion cannons while using boosters, and best of all, a brand new ability (a type of missile).

This looks interesting, the defense matrix nerf bringers her in line and being able to shoot while boosting + missiles means Pharah is going to have a bad time with D.Va + Hitscan + Zen.

I'm liking the sound of these changes already. The missiles also give her more of a fighting chance against Doomfist since Matrix can't help her there.

Really excited to test this when it comes out.

They should have cut the 1 sec cooldown on defence matrix to 0.2 or 0.5 sec aswell, giving her a better flow, but im glad to finaly see a matrix nerf

Sounds really fun to play. Look forward to seeing it on the PTR.

i guess its a good place for this
did you know you can stop the movement of dva mech (in ult) with flash? I dont think i have ever seen anyone do it

Finally! DVa was a hero that was obnoxious to deal with, and now her defensive capabilities will be about equal to zarya

I'm okay with this as a primary Hitscan DPS, and flex off tank.

When playing DPS I can worry less about a D.Va pretty cancelling my ult, and when off tank I always enjoyed playing a more aggressive D.Va back before her last damage nerf so hopefully this lets me do that more

As a DVa player for a long time now, this sounds really good. It makes DVa interesting to play again, as well as making life better for dps. All around a necessary balance change for the game

Can't wait to pair up with a zenyatta and chase people around while shooting.

Yeah, dive isn't going anywhere anytime soon. D.va - as annoying as she is - is the main source of peel for supports and with only 2 seconds of matrix Genji and Tracer get stronger.

you can stop it with any stun, earthshatter included

So her new ability is a mini pharah ult?

Maybe. But so does McCree, Widow, Junkrat, etc. and we all know the Junkrat meta is coming.....

BlessRNG plz meta change BlessRNG

They increased her DM's recharge rate by 25% so if my math isn't total shit she should fully recharge it in 7.5 seconds down from 10.
