D.Va Balance Changes

Balance Philosophy

For each hero in S and A tier, slightly nerf each part of the kit. The author notes these are not all meant to be implemented, and invites feedback on which should take priority.

Proposed Changes

Each entry lists the move or ability affected, the adjustment itself, and — where the analysis states one — the problem it is meant to solve and the reasoning behind it.

1. Fusion Cannons

   Nerf

   Proposed adjustment

   Damage reduced from 146 to 130 damage a second.

2. Boosters

   Nerf

   Proposed adjustment

   Cooldown increased from 4 to 6 seconds.

3. Micro Missiles

   Nerf

   Proposed adjustment

   Cooldown increased from 7 to 9 seconds.

4. Call Mech / Baby D.Va

   Adjustment

   Proposed adjustment

   Baby D.Va's health is reduced from 150 to 100, while Call Mech's ultimate cost is reduced from 280 to 230.

   Current issue

   When D.Va loses her mech, her baby form isn't very helpful to her team.

   Reason

   Makes her easier to finish off while she's exposed, but lets her recover her mech sooner.
