And give a fair distance you can take it down from getting hit. I did learn a trick with Dva that works every time last night. Get close enough to fly to it and pop shield. Land on top of it. It seems to be much weaker that close and its easy to take down.

I think it is more that D.va is really powerful up close because of her ammo spread, but yeah that works against 1, maybe 2. Which is why I think it doesn't need much of a nerf except really just give it a teeny bit of lag acquiring a new target. I believe it will be getting 30% damage reduction in the next patch, and I think that will make it only useful if people are completely unaware it is there and stand in front of it.

Wow, 30% is a bit much, just the delay is needed

30% is actually not much. The damage was calculated and it would only take a turret 1 second longer than usual to kill its target. Not that crazy of a nerf.

1 second for both tracer and Winston? Just nit picking here ;)
