Overwatch’s D.Va Being Largely Reworked

It’s no secret that Overwatch players are thoroughly tired of the abundance of dive within the current meta. One of the biggest annoyances for many has been the strength of D.Va, or more specifically her Defense Matrix ability.

In its current state, Defense Matrix or “DM” can eat any projectile that isn’t a beam (such as Zarya and Mei’s primary fires) for 4 seconds when fully charged. The ability takes 10 seconds to recharge after being depleted and has a 1 second cooldown between uses. However, all of these things that much of the playerbase saw as broken may soon be changed.

The rework Geoff Goodman spoke about includes both buff and nerfs. Specifically, the changes are as follows:

D.Va’s DM will be nerfed to only 2 seconds of use rather than 4 seconds. She will be able to shoot her guns while flying, which previously canceled the boosters. A new ability, Micro-Missiles, will be introduced for her. This will shoot a line of small missiles that detonate on impact and deal damage in a small radius around where they hit, but no damage values were given for the ability.

Although these are only internal changes at the moment, Goodman made it clear that they are attempting to get them on the PTR as soon as possible. Conversations about whether or not these buffs/nerfs will be beneficial are already floating about. Some people believe that the nerf to her DM is much too heavy, and that the changes to her DPS potential will essentially make her a glass cannon. Others have said that the changes will make her much less annoying to play against while also allowing her to be more aggressive since she will be able to shoot while boosting.

As a D.Va main, it’s hard to give an unbiased prediction on whether or not these changes are a good idea. Regardless, whenever the PTR releases the community will likely be able to decide the direction the buffs/nerfs have taken her.

I play more Overwatch than most people would consider healthy. In any game genre my knowledge could range from a filthy casual to a certified no-life.

On October 25, 2023, THQ Nordic’s Alone in the Dark reboot will star Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer and Stranger Things’ David Harbour. Comer will play Emily Hartwood, while Harbour will play Edward Carnaby.

The demo, loosely based on the 1992 original, is available for download from the PS Store. This prologue, starring supporting character Grace Saunders, is inspired by Alone in the Dark 2’s Jack in the Dark demo and allows you to explore the Derceto Mansion.

The showcase didn’t focus on combat, but previous showings have shown a frantic over-the-shoulder shooter, and developer Pieces Interactive promises a variety of puzzles. Depending on how much guidance you want, you can adjust the difficulty.

We’re excited about the final product. Alone in the Dark hasn’t been respected in recent years, despite its huge influence. A compelling reboot that updates the 1992 classic looks to put the franchise back on track.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin, a new real-time strategy game where players command one of four warring factions, is coming to PS5 in the grimdark future.

PlayStation’s strategy gaming renaissance makes us feel like we’re living in the best possible time for console gamers who love command. Realms of Ruin could be a cool addition if it succeeds. As fans know, Warhammer games are unfortunately inconsistent in quality, so we’ll reserve judgment until we see some gameplay.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin: your thoughts? What do you think of Age of Sigmar’s controversial rebranding in general?

According to Metacritic, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is the worst-rated game of 2023, setting a new low for AAA releases. OpenCritic’s story is similar. See our video or written review to understand why.

Only eFootball was more universally hated. Balan Wonderworld and Babylon’s Fall are other villains in that awful rogue’s gallery.
