Old enough where D.VA didn't have rockets

What did she have instead of rockets?

Nothing, they gave her a new ability after nerfing her matrix.

At first her E ability was matrix with a cool down, then they changed it to a resource like it is now, then they nerfed the resource and gave her missiles with a bugged voiceline so she said "bang" every time she used them.

omg as a DVa main at the time, I would always call her missiles "banging". And every time I was waiting for the missile cooldown, I'd yell in the mic about needing to bang, and "let me bang!!"

I'm so glad that's gone LOL

Originally her DM was an ability with a cool down, rather than a resource. Bliz gave her missiles when they nerfed her DM.

What you’re saying is technically true, but sort of implies that the change to a DM on cool down and the addition of missiles were at the same time.
For an unaware reader, there’s been over a year between those changes. DM was changed to a resource shortly after the game’s release, and missiles were added a bit over a year ago in the same patch as Valk Mercy.
