    I don't see this working. She was picked mainly for her ultimate. Her healing isn't good enough to make up for the loss of a damage character, so why not just play a damage character? Doesn't matter what they add to her kit so long as her main function, healing, isn't good enough to make up for the loss of an offensive hero.

    I love the changes. It'll be interesting to see how Valkyrie works as her ultimate. Can't wait! :)

    This makes Mercy more appealing to me. More healing and more damage is good. Also a more offensive D.Va? Hell yeah.

    I wonder if D.Va's missiles will be dangerous to her if they hit something close, the way Pharah's are. Of course, D.Va isn't squishy. She certainly can use some more firepower, but I hadn't noticed that her shield was all that great. I think they should limit the range on her ult, though. At least when I'm on the other team and get killed from as far away as I can get. You could cut down on the warning though - people are getting very good at ducking behind things.

    I don't play Mercy but I think having individual rezzes every 30 seconds instead of everybody in a wide area when the ult is ready should make a fair trade-off with more excitement and less, "Oh, no, we just wiped their team and now they're all back and at full strength again!" But did I see that her healing range would be extended? I thought the idea was to get her more involved in the battle. I've already been frustrated by trying to take out a Bastion being healed by a well-hidden Mercy, so if she can heal from farther away she'll be able to hide even better or more easily, right?

    Yeah, D.Va's Defense Matrix wasn't that great at all. This need to be improved if she want's to stay a "tank"

    I wonder if these comments ever get seen by the developers.

    And this thread keeps on delivering.

    Defense Matrix was nerfed because it's too good.

    Defense Matrix eats any projectiles. Be they bullets from Soldier's gun or Junkrat's Ultimate. Or Pharah's Ultimate. Or Hanzo's Ultimate. Or Mei's Ultimate.

    Anyone ever been above Gold in here?
