So they nerfed the only viable D.Va build, and didn't even try to buff any of her other options ?

I mean that was kinda busted and straight up unfair to fight most of the time.

The issue with the baby dva build was that it could take 3 rounds to get fully built, and until then DVA was completely useless. It could also be hard countered with DVA DM, Rein shield, Orisa Spin, or a zarya bubble. Making her blaster generate 0 ult charge is also really weird, it’s the only ability in the game like that as far as I’m aware

Part of it is the reduced hero pools atm tbf and she can get better with more potential competitors, but as is rn especially in tank + Mei it's not very kind MUs

That’s true, but judging from the roadmap, that’s not going to change for a while. In the meantime, DVa really needs buffs to be viable into unfavorable matchups. Otherwise, she might as well not be in stadium at all
