2021-05-18 Patch Notes

Hero Updates

Stats

Developer Comment: D.Va's Mech is still slightly more powerful than we'd like, and it's giving D.Va the edge over other Heroes before considering her capabilities with Self-Destruct and Pilot mode. She also has some talents with some suffering pick rates that we hope are now more attractive.

2021-01-19 Balance Update

Hero Updates

Stats

  • Mech Health Reduced from 2250 to 2150.
  • Mech Health Regeneration reduced from 4.69 to 4.48.

Talents

  • Level 10
    • Bunny Hop [R1]
      • Damage increased from 52 to 70.

Developer Comment: D.Va's a very unique Hero due to her ability to go in and out of her Mech to survive in situations where other Heroes would perish. When she's too tanky, she can be overly frustrating due to having to "die" twice in order for the enemy team to remove her from the map. We think she's a little too beefy in this regard right now, so we're lowering her Mech survivability. We're also buffing Bunny Hop's damage so that it better competes with Micro Missiles.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the Mech could grant experience and takedown credit multiple times Undocumented

2020-11-04 Balance Update

Hero Updates

Talents

  • Level 4
    • Rush Down [Q]
      • Damage and healing against enemy Heroes reduced from 3% to 2% maximum Health.
      • Damage bonus to non-Heroic enemies reduced from 75% to 70%.

Developer Comment: We're generally very happy with where D.Va has landed since her rework, but Rush Down is still a little too strong and is a large part of D.Va's power pie, so we're continuing to tone it down.

2020-10-07 Balance Update

Hero Updates

Stats

  • Mech weapon damage reduced from 23 to 22.

Talents

  • Level 4
    • Rush-Down [Q]
      • Bonus damage to non-Heroic enemies reduced from 100% to 75%.
      • Damage and healing against enemy Heroes reduced from 4% to 3% maximum Health.
    • Aggression Matrix [W]
      • Cooldown reduction increased from .125 seconds to .1875 seconds.
  • Level 10
    • Bunny Hop [R1]
      • Cooldown reduced from 80 to 70 seconds.
    • Micro Missiles [R2]
      • Damage reduced from 44 to 40.
  • Level 13
    • Target Locked [W]
      • Requirement for Armor and Movement Speed Slow to activate reduced from 1.5 to 1.25 seconds.

Developer Comment: D.Va has come out swinging with her new rework, and while she is still within our normally acceptable bounds of performance, she is at the upper end and we feel she can use a little toning down. We're reducing her Basic Attack damage as a baseline nerf and lowering the power of Rush Down, which should bring in line many of the more powerful and popular ways to play her. We still want and expect her to be a force to be reckoned with and will be keeping an eye on her to see if more tuning changes are needed down the road.

Bug Fixes

  • D.Va's Micro Missiles launch and impact sounds should play at an appropriate volume for enemies and allies.

Developer Comment: At long last, our favorite Pro Gamer is back and ready to pwn teh n00bs! With D.Va's rework we've given her tons of new tools and redistributed her power to help her fill more of a traditional bruiser role while still retaining a lot of her "supporty" essence. This new talent tree should allow her to flex to fill gaps in your team comp or to be her old aggro self. Her old Heroic option, Big Shot, is now baseline and has been replaced with Micro Missiles, giving her Mech some reach and soft CC that she didn't have before.

    • Cooldown reduced from 10 to 9 seconds
    • Cooldown before being able to cancel the ability decreased from 1 to .5 seconds.

Talents

Developer Comment: D.Va’s winrate has risen steadily since release, as most of our new Heroes do, and secured her position as “#1 Mech Nexus, GG NO RE”. These adjustments will help Boosters feel better to use, and also even out the viability of the Talents at level 1. Ablative Armor was triggering a lot more often than we thought it should, so D.Va decided that we needed to nerf this. Lastly, GG WP was really strong at the tier, so we’re tuning the damage down slightly so that it isn’t always the must pick option.

Bug Fixes

  • D.Va: Players will now correctly earn takedown credit toward certain Hero Talents and Abilities, like Seasoned Marksman or Li-Ming’s Critical Mass, after destroying D.Va’s Mech.
  • D.Va: Veteran and Elite D.Va A.I. will now use Call Mech more frequently.
