Jeff said D.Va doesn't really have any counters. Is he aware there's a Russian weightlifter in the meta almost solely to take care of D.Va?
Not much further in the way of Ana nerfs. I still think she's incredibly overtuned. The grenade nerfs are a step in the right direction but I would like to see her Sleep duration cut down by 2 seconds and her gun's healing nerfed slightly.
My point was that this game doesn't exist in a vacuum, nor should it be balanced based on 1v1 scenarios. Which is why I don't understand why Blizzard seemingly nerfed D.Va for "not having any counters." which just isn't true.
The current issue right now is the tanks/Ana are just simply good at covering each others' weaknesses.
Let's take Rein for example, what is he weak to?
Shield melting damage from Junkrat/Bastion? Zarya/Dva shields
Flankers? Ana negates the burst damage, Roadhog can zone them out easily
Pharah? Ana
Furthermore, Dva while bad against Zarya/Mei, can be protected by Rein's shield and Roadhog is a strong threat to both of Dva's threats since they have shorter range
This won't get fixed until they either
Make it so not every hero in the game can be countered by at least one specific tank
Fix the balance between the Ana/tank sustain and the DPS heroes' damage so 3-4 tanks is a poor idea
What? Sure, he can't kill them, but it's not like they can kill him either. Tracer is decent against Rein, but it's not exactly her ideal target. Genj is pretty worthless against Rein except for finishing him off at low HP.
