Oh, no worries! Important exams need lots of attention :D I shudder at the thought of boy bands being considered classical music, maybe even taught in future music classes… *gags*
Which reminds me of a discussion I had with my English teacher, about how someday maybe they'll "rediscover" rap or death metal from our age and it will be the new hipster music.

I've played more D.Va since the nerf and she's alright. If I may explain a bit more about the nerf, and maybe vent a teeny bit because she is my favourite Dorito-munching tank:

D.Va at launch: 100 HP / 400 Armour

I played pre-buff D.Va a bit and she was okay. I though she performed her function well, but some quality of life changes were needed to give her a chance of being picked over more useful tanks like Rein, Roadhog and Zarya. Also, (idk how much you know so I'm telling you everything) her movement speed was reduced by 50% when shooting. Not good, but killing things wasn't impossible.


D.Va after buffs: 200 HP / 400 Armour + slightly faster movement speed while shooting

This is when I fell in love with D.Va. In my opinion, the increase in movement speed while shooting from 50% to 75% was the only buff she needed. But she also (for some reason) got 100 extra HP, which made her harder to kill (but not impossible). I thought D.Va was in a good spot, but I will admit she did need a small nerf to make her not as invincible. Of course, in competitive play, 600 HP D.Va became basically invincible because of how much Ana is used in pro matches. This upset the "meta" quite a bit. Reaper also had a much harder time killing the mech before it killed him.

D.Va after nerfs: 400 HP / 200 Armour + damage-per shot reduced from 24 to 22

These nerfs were bad. Once her armour is gone, Roadhog can one-shot D.Va after a hook. And thanks to changes made to his hook, she'll always be lined up for an unmissable headshot. The damage decrease was meant to "make her midrange damage more consistent" which I think is bs because her midrange damage is crap anyways. It is much harder to kill anyone who's not either A) a tank or B) right up your nose because her damage is more spread out, so the chances of landing more shots is lower. Plus, now that she has less armour, if they're right up in her face they can just headshot to their heart's content, and you basically have to be at full health to 1v1 successfully. A HUGE problem is Soldier: 76. He wasn't nerfed at all, despite his insane damage, and unless D.Va lands 90% of her shots his biotic field will outheal her guns. I would have MUCH preferred they either split her health 300 HP / 300 Armour or go back to 100 HP / 400 Armour. I mean, D.Va's schtick is the armoured tank. Now she's Reinhard plus 100 HP and less shield. Plus, she may have been OP in pro games, but in Quick Play where you're lucky to get 1 healer, she was fine.

Nevertheless, being a Dorito-dippin' soda-sippin' D.Va main, I've been adjusting my playstyle to compliment her nerfs. Gone are the days of assassinating healers. Now I have to get the jump on people and pick of those pesky Genjis trying to flank us.

TL;DR D.Va's trash, but she's my trash, and one man's trash is another man's gold.

/end rant

I'm soooooooo sorry I made you read all of that, but tbh I've been wanting to vent for a while.

In other news, I've been trying to learn Pharah and she's been a blast (lol) and my quest of a legendary Zenyatta skin is still ongoing.

I've had Hasselhoff running through my head for the past few days too, we can suffer together :')

Hi, I lost my match :/

But, I'm not entirely sure if my opponent's team was valid. He had Heatran (OU), Landorus-T (OU), Celebi, Slowbro (RU). That totals to 12 points because I think Celebi is in RU at the time we played (right now it is in UU). Then, trachy also had Gurdurr and Electabuzz. If they were both NFE, then the team would be fine. But Gurdurr was in NU last gen (I checked rankings, it is still in NU i think) and Electabuzz in PU last gen. What is unsettling about this is that the rankings are not posted on smogondex. The only ranking that I could find, but I'm still not sure about was for Gurdurr (which was in NU).

Either way, if one of the latter two pokemon were above NFE, I believe that invalidates my opponent's team.

Right now, I'm not sure whether the tournament match should be made null or allowed.

I just realized something.

So, Reinhardt has this spawn room interaction where he tells Lucio that he should listen to the classics, like Hasselhoff. I assumed that Hasselhoff was some German composer from Beethoven's era, but then it dawned on me that Reinhardt was born in 2015. So, I googled Hasselhoff and he's actually not that old, he was big in the 80's.

That means that for Reinhardt, 80s music is "classical" like Bach or Mozart is "classical" to us. That means that to him, classical music is stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dm7jEA3frY4
and this:

and, most important of all… Never Gonna Give You Up.

IN THE FUTURE RICKROLLING IS CONSIDERED CLASSICAL MUSIC

Thank yu :D

I like Roadhog too, except after D.Va's (poorly handled imo) health nerf, he can almost one-shot her mech after a hook and melee :( Hopefully Blizzard will give her armour back. Makes killing a hog all the more satisfying, though >:)

Hahaha glad to hear it :)
Seriously, see it more that you earned the title yourself! Sure we're in charge of doing those promotions, but lend yourself some credit too.

Liz is actually cocoa intolerant so none of that. But thanks for your ideas anyway! And thanks for your support as well! It means a lot to me.
