"we’ve made some significant changes to D.Va internally and have been testing them for a while now. Here are the changes we’ve made:
Defense Matrix: Energy drain increased by 2x. This means her effective uptime for this ability has been reduced by 50%.
Boosters: D.Va can now use her Fusion Cannons while flying.
New ability - Micro Missiles: D.Va launches a long salvo of small missiles that explode on impact, dealing damage in a small radius around them. This ability can be used while using her other abilities or firing her Fusion Cannons.
The combination of these changes allow her to play more aggressively and deal more damage, at the cost of being able to Defense Matrix as often as before. Defense Matrix still remains an extremely powerful tool when timed correctly, but the reduced uptime means D.Va won’t be able to use it nearly as often overall.
Her new Micro Missiles ability in combination with her ability to fire while flying allow for some more aggressive play, as well as opening up some new options versus heroes such as Pharah.
Overall the goal here is to reduce her reliance on Defense Matrix and make her more fun to play. As far as balancing goes, we want to nerf Defense Matrix as an ability, not D.Va as a hero.
She has been a ton of fun to play with these changes, and we’re looking forward you letting you guys play with them as well. Hopefully we’ll have a new PTR up soon!"
That’s a huge change. Nerf or not? What do you guys think? @OverwatchPlayers
D’va with micro missiles…Immediately thinking of a beast Iron Man suit…I wanna play as D’va now
I’ve never had a problem taking down a Phara with her. The idea of using her cannons while boosting is excellent, and the nerf to her defense makes sense. You can hold down left trigger for eternity and block too much damage. The rockets may make her a little OP. The defense matrix nerf might not be the right balance to the rockets she’s getting. I have a hard time seeing how this will be balanced in real time scenarios, so we’ll wait and see

Provided the servers work, GRG will be firing up a few Overwatch Lobbies tonight. Join in on the action!

If the servers go live and actually work I’ll be running a room tonight. Most likely I’ll go into public matches. We’ll need an overflow room if we get more than 6.
I’ll be on when the servers go up, hopefully everything starts off smooth
i will be on and will take the overflow if we hit that point.
I will be on.
On it when it goes live .
I’ll be on when servers go live. Getting hyped!
I have been hurt before. Will check to see if they are live after 6. If not, will check back in an hour. I’ll hop into one of the many parties that will be going.

Didnt get to play with anyone last night, but the game was alot of fun even solo, I should be on again tonight and I think Ive worked out my mic issue.
No one really did. They had an issue with Overwatch and Console Parties, you couldn’t form parties. They’ve fixed it so it should be good to go today.
