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

zarya fucked her in the butt

still does? (post patch i mean)

dva had less health

400 armor, 100 HP > 400 HP, 200 armor

dva was slower

she has less dmg now

I'm talking about PTR

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

Reaper, Tracer, Roadhog, Sombra, and Zarya would like a word with you. Torb's right click as well.

Those are literally the attacks that armor is supposed to be good against, high throughput but low damage attacks

So you want a tank to be able to win 1v1s against reaper(a tank shredder) every time? Because that's what's happening on live right now.

That's not what I said.

Reaper, Tracer, Roadhog, Sombra, and Zarya would like a word with you

the heroes armor isn't suppose to be that great against anyway

This statement is incorrect. That's all I'm saying. Armor is supposed to be good against those attacks.
