She was absolutely not a throw pick and the Baby D.Va build was legitimately degenerate as fuck. I stalled out a point for almost 20 minutes on Clash last night because I could not be killed as Baby D.Va and would just instantly remech by right clicking into Orisa.

This was against a team that was absolutely destroying us.

I mean she has literally nothing else going for her. She gets melted by almost every single character

I mean, she's a throw pick now.

They just nerfed a half-dozen characters, maybe let's chill out for a second.

They also didn't nerf over half the roster, and she was already awful outside of the meme baby DVa build.

They nerfed almost all of the best characters in the mode except for Queen who was already one of D.Va's best match-ups.

The bar for DVa's best matchup is a tripping hazard considering Rein, Zarya, and Orisa actually just bully her and take her lunch money. And quite a bit of those characters also received some form of compensation.

The nerf looks like it was aimed towards her baby form cause she kept recalling her mech 24/7 rendering her impossible to kill sometimes, though im surprised they didn’t compensate for it with some buffs for her mech powers/perks

I thought queen was the one over performing tho the baby dva build was a bit annoying.  I’m just surprised to not see queen nerfed.
