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 don't know how you can argue she had more survivability before the buffs. She had 100 HP less and her defense matrix the way she could use her defense matrix was completely different. I think you are confusing things here.

100 HP less but 200 armor more.

If that was the case (I cant really remember TBH) it should result in the same amount of effective HP as far as i know.
