A Head's Up about the New D.Va Buffs

I'd just like to give my fellow "D.Va Mains" out there (we play other characters guys, don't worry) a head's up in case you haven't had a chance to test out the new changes on the PTR. With Defense Matrix moving to our RMB you can no longer cancel your Boost using RMB, you will instead have to press Shift again (or use your melee attack/LMB per your discretion).

This may sound like a minor thing (and it is), but I know it took some time for me to re-learn my muscle memory. You will probably find yourself throwing up your DM instead of coming to a nice stop up on a ledge the first few times you play. Along the same lines, you're also going to have to re-learn the timing on your ult. Although in my experience the change to 3 seconds (along with not killing you) just makes it easier to land not harder. Just watch out for the enemy D.Va's ult. ;-)

For those of you who play alongside the new D.Va, please keep in mind that a lot of the strength now given to her Defense Matrix lies in YOUR hands. If she blocks a Reaper ult when he dropped on top of you, don't spend your time showering your D.Va with praise (although she deserves it); kill that Reaper ASAP! The shorter the time D.Va spends blocking an ability, the more abilities she can block. So if you have a D.Va on your team, be sure to listen for those ults like she is and be prepared to shoot the enemy Reapers/Pharahs/76s/McCrees/Roadhogs as soon as they start spewing projectiles (instead of running for the hills and leaving your D.Va alone and out in the open against the oncoming enemy team). Frankly, ANYTIME you see a DM on an enemy just shoot them.

Anyway, hope that helps and happy Overwatching people!
