Lore[edit]

More than two decades ago, South Korea was attacked by a colossal omnic monstrosity that rose from the depths of the East China Sea. The massive, lumbering construct caused catastrophic damage to coastal cities before it was driven back beneath the waves. In response, the South Korean government developed a mechanized armored drone unit, called MEKA, to protect urban environments in future engagements with the omnic threat.

The government's fears proved to be well founded, as a disturbing pattern of attacks emerged. Every few years, the monstrosity would rise from the sea to assault South Korea and its neighbors. The omnic learned from these encounters, often reconfiguring itself in a different form and appearing with new weapons and capabilities. Each incident ended in a stalemate, with the monstrosity defeated but not destroyed.

As the omnic continued to adapt, it eventually disrupted MEKA's drone-control networks, forcing the military to place pilots in the mechs. Scrambling to find suitable candidates, the government turned to the country's professional gamers, who possessed the necessary reflexes and instincts to operate the mechs' advanced weapons systems. Top stars willingly joined the effort via the nation's compulsory military service, including reigning world champion Hana Song, also known as "D.Va." Famous for her elite skills, D.Va was a fierce competitor who played to win at all costs, and she had a well-earned reputation for showing no mercy to her opponents.

D.Va quickly grew in skill to become MEKA’s top pilot, even streaming combat operations to her adoring fans, but the Gwishin omnics’ increasing attacks on South Korea began to take a heavy toll on the MEKA squad. Where MEKA could once count on months of training and downtime between omnic assaults, a sudden attack between predicted intervals forced Hana to repel the Gwishin alone. The media praised D.Va's singlehanded defense of South Korea, though in truth, the superstar was seconds from a real game over. As the Null Sector threat emerged in Korea, D.Va obtained a special dispensation from her commander to join up as one of Overwatch's new guard, assessing the Null Sector threat alongside Cole Cassidy and his latest recruits.

Trivia[edit]

• Voiced by Charlet Chung
• As part of her promotion and lore, Blizzard created a brief StarCraft II WCS profile[1], which revealed her as a Random player who became the top-ranked player in the world when she was 16 and went undefeated over the next three years before she was drafted.

Version History[edit]

Balance Patch History
Patch Version	Balance Changes
September 1, 2016 Patch
	Defense Matrix After being activated, Defense Matrix will begin regenerating following a 1-second delay (formerly .5 seconds)
July 19, 2016 Patch[note 1]
	Defense Matrix Cooldown decreased from 10 seconds to 1 second A new resource meter has been added. This meter will deplete while Defense Matrix is active and then recharge when it’s not in use. Defense Matrix takes 10 seconds to reach full charge from empty At a full charge, Defense Matrix will last for 4 seconds Defense Matrix will now remain active as long as its assigned hotkey is held Defense Matrix has been reclassified as an alternate fire and is now bound to RMB (by default) An option to “Toggle Defense Matrix” has been added under Options > Controls > D.Va Self-Destruct Ultimate cost decreased by 15% Explosion delay reduced from 4 seconds to 3 seconds Explosion no longer damages D.Va (the player who activates it)
February 18, 2016 Patch[note 2]
	D.Va’s mech is no longer move- or aim-locked after being called down Self Destruct Ultimate charge now generates passively even when D.Va is dead or her mech is destroyed Call Mech Ultimate cost decreased by 20%
February 9, 2016 Patch[note 3]
	When D.Va’s mech is destroyed due to damage taken, it will now despawn immediately instead of a few seconds after D.Va is ejected Defense Matrix Size decreased by approximately 50% Shape changes to be more cylindrical than conical
↑ Developer Notes: D.Va isn't being selected as often as our other tanks, and we feel a lot of that stems from the underperformance of her damage absorption abilities. So, we've reconfigured her Defensive Matrix, making it more flexible and giving players the ability to use it more often. We’ve also given Self-Destruct a little more oomph, because it felt slightly underwhelming when compared to many of Overwatch's other ultimate abilities. ↑ Developer comments: The changes we made to how heroes gain Ultimate charge in the February 9 beta patch had some unintended side effects for D.Va, making it much harder for her to generate Ultimate than before. These changes should help correct this pain point, as well as provide a nice quality-of-life change to the process of summoning her mech. ↑ Developer comments: Previously, D.Va could become a problem when there were multiple people playing her in a game, especially when they were crowded around a small capture point or escort objective. Between the size of her Defense Matrix and the fact that her destroyed mech could be used to block line of sight, she was often simply too difficult to kill. These changes are designed to reduce her overall defensive footprint and give players more ways to counter her.
