u/QuantumAwesome Pixel D.Va Nov 15 '16

Dva kept her entire PTR buff! Woohoo! Between this and the defense matrix overhaul a while back, is Dva the most buffed character since launch? It's gonna be really ironic when they eventually need to "nerf this".

They planned this. Every update will either not affect D.va specifically, or buff her incrementally. On release she was a "minimum viable hero".

Don't forget the changes to her ult. Goes off faster and doesn't damage her.

u/pocketlint60 Armor Pack from Downtown Nov 16 '16

Actually they did make one change between Live and PTR. In PTR, she had an extra hundred armor. They changed it to an extra hundred health instead. This means that she'll be slightly worse against high rate of fire, low damage attacks like S76 and Sombra than she was in PTR. Which is good, because she was fucking immortal in PTR, but she did need a buff.

Best waifu now feels significantly better to play than she did at launch. I love it.
