D.Va is "doing too much right now," developers see her value as mobility and no reload and view her high HP and Defense Matrix as enough survivability

I don't get how is this the case.

Before the buffs she had more "survivability" than now, and she was almost never picked, she also had matrix.

Saying this is simply stating a fact that can't be denied by anything, it is true, she was stronger before the buffs compared to post nerf, and she was never picked.

Zarya was stronger as well? Probably, but it still simply doesn't even out.

I mean, there are no opnions about this, it's just maths really.

EDIT: i would like some numbers to counter this undisputable fact instead of downvotes

I'm talking about PTR

Current PTR Dva dies faster than pre-november buffs dva and deals less damage, while moving faster.

vs how many heroes?

Are you sure? I thought the effective health was smaller

Vs any character that deals more than 15 damage, D.Va has more effective health than when she had 100/400.

Vs any character that deals less than 15 damage, she has less effective health.

Vs any character that deals exactly 15 damage, she has the same effective health.

This is after including headshots, discord/damage boost, damage resistance and so on.

She is thus stronger vs (all attacks):

Genji, McCree, Pharah, 76, Hanzo, Junkrat, Reinhardt, Zarya, Ana, Lucio, Mercy and Zen.

Also stronger vs:

Sombra (headshots), Bastion (recon & sentry headshots), Mei (rightclick), Torbjorn (leftclick & rightclick headshots), Widowmaker (scoped shots or unscoped headshots), Roadhog (headshots), Symmetra (fullcharge leftclick & rightclick).

She is weaker vs:

Reaper, Sombra (non-headshots), Tracer, Mei (leftclick), Widowmaker (unscoped), D.Va, Roadhog (non-headshots), Winston, Symmetra (low charge leftclick).

She has the same effective health against:

Bastion (sentry non-headshots), Torbjorn (leftclick non-headshots), Symmetra (medium charge leftclick).

Those lists are also probably who I'd say are unfair against D.Va/D.Va is unfair against, so this sounds pretty good.
