This <b>damage hero<\/b> became too dominant in competitive play and quick match formats. The community had been vocal about her overwhelming performance, and <b>Blizzard delivered<\/b> with targeted adjustments. Players will notice meaningful differences in her kit that address her primary strengths without completely gutting her viability.<\/p>\n<p>The <b>Vendetta nerfs<\/b> are not isolated. <b>D.Va<\/b> also receives reductions, forcing tank players to rethink their defensive strategies.
