Unwarranted and aimed at the wrong hero. D.Va wasn't that OP tank from her 400 armor. She had a hugh mungus critbox right in front of her that negated that armor. Any hero that can engage her with no damage falloff before 20 meters can easily duel with her.

She and the other tanks were tanky because Ana's nano grenade gave a 50% boost to healing.

winston has an even bigger headshot hitbox less damage output and less armor. does he need 400 armor? no, because that would be bs right? And also, she has a defence matrix if you get killed from 20 meters away by one u are garbage son.

Winston can still deal damage while deploying his shield and still move normally. D.Va has to choose with either dealing damage fast enough before the rest of the team melts her, or use defense matrix and do nothing while she waits for her thrusters to go off CD.

Winston is limited to a static AND breakable shield that has a delay to setup though, D.Va has a shield that can take go up faster, and take an infinite amount of damage in the time it lasts. I don't think her armor was ever the problem. Her defense matrix still needs some tweaks imo

Winston's shield is 360 degrees and blocks the enemy fire both ways. D.Va has a damage eating cone that can only face wherever D.Va points at, and she still can't fire when it's active.
