Developer Comment: D.Va's Mech is still slightly more powerful than we'd like, and it's giving D.Va the edge over other Heroes before considering her capabilities with Self-Destruct and Pilot mode. She also has some talents with some suffering pick rates that we hope are now more attractive.

Updates

Base

• Mech Health Reduced from 2250 to 2150.
• Mech Health Regeneration reduced from 4.69 to 4.48.

Talents

• Level 10
  • Bunny Hop [R1]
    • Damage increased from 52 to 70.

Developer Comment: D.Va's a very unique Hero due to her ability to go in and out of her Mech to survive in situations where other Heroes would perish. When she's too tanky, she can be overly frustrating due to having to "die" twice in order for the enemy team to remove her from the map. We think she's a little too beefy in this regard right now, so we're lowering her Mech survivability. We're also buffing Bunny Hop's damage so that it better competes with Micro Missiles.

Developer Comment: At long last, our favorite Pro Gamer is back and ready to pwn teh n00bs! With D.Va's rework we've given her tons of new tools and redistributed her power to help her fill more of a traditional bruiser role while still retaining a lot of her "supporty" essence. This new talent tree should allow her to flex to fill gaps in your team comp or to be her old aggro self. Her old Heroic option, Big Shot, is now baseline and has been replaced with Micro Missiles, giving her Mech some reach and soft CC that she didn't have before.

Developer Comment: D.Va's winrate has risen steadily since release, as most of our new Heroes do, and secured her position as “#1 Mech Nexus, GG NO RE”. These adjustments will help Boosters feel better to use, and also even out the viability of the Talents at level 1. Ablative Armor was triggering a lot more often than we thought it should, so D.Va decided that we needed to nerf this. Lastly, GG WP was really strong at the tier, so we're tuning the damage down slightly so that it isn't always the must pick option.

Bug Fixes

• Veteran and Elite D.Va A.I. will now use Call Mech more frequently.
• Players will now correctly earn takedown credit toward certain Hero Talents and Abilities, like Seasoned Marksman or Li-Ming's Critical Mass, after destroying D.Va's Mech.
