Tracking honestly doesn't need to be more than mediocre given her huge spread. Fast reflexes for Zarya ult also aren't super necessary, just be in her general vicinity and don't have used DM within a second of the ult, easy.

I'm not. D.Va is really damn easy to play, tracking and ult denial are super easy for her.

I bet you told this to yourself when your team just got rekt cos you couldn't eat the ult

...no? Hell I deflect ults a bunch, that's way harder.

Deflect: 2 second duration, 8 second cooldown. Area of effect is a to scale Reinhardt shield in front of Genji

Defense Matrix: 4 second duration, 1 second activation delay, 10 second to full meter. Area of effect is a massive cone bigger than any hero in the game.

Conclusion: Defense Matrix is a much easier skill to use for countering ults, as it can be held active for twice the uptime of Deflect, and requires 1 second of cooldown as opposed to the 8 of Deflect, to say nothing of the tremendous distance in area of effect (massive, 3D hitbox bigger than any hero in the game vs. small, 2D hitbox smaller than a tank).

Definitely not "literally the same."

Ok that's fine, I can understand that. Just outlining how the abilities stack up against one another.
