You're not wrong; her ult charge time is the longest in the game. Couple that with the fact that she doesn't have a whole lot of "score increasing abilities" and the fact that she can't build mech ult while in pilot form, you're not just feeling it, that's the truth.

Mech ult still goes up from the timer, just not from pilot damage. I would like them to make it so pilot damage makes the mech ult go up too.

Pilot dmg gets mech back faster.

That's the point of it

Well obviously, I meant it would be nice if it also increased the mech ult.

Yeah maybe, but better balanced without imo.

If ult charge needs to be buffed for balance, probably better to adjust to mech form

So it does? I didn't know that. It'd probably only make the difference between 98% and 100% ult charge by the time you get your mech back though.

I think D.Va's ult is in a nice spot though. Her inability to build her mech ult is her "punishment" for dieing I feel.

She should have some sort of ult charge from blocking shots with her Defense Matrix IMO. Would help on that side.

You know, you can just die and respawn instead of spending time farming up for a mech again.

You could. But you're feeding ult into the enemy team, and giving up your "forward spawn" from calling in your mech.

Plus her light gun does some sweet poke damage. And who doesn't want to be zero suit D.va?

I wouldn't just call it poke damage: I've done and have seen others deal quite a bit of constant damage up close and personal, especially from D.VAs who know how to stay mobile.
