New details for "Overwatch" will feature possible improvements for D.Va's defense matrix and Terry Crews voicing rumored DLC character Doomfist.
Blizzard Entertainment teased a possible update on "Overwatch" character D.Va in the game soon as username Mugunghwa made a post on the official "Overwatch" forums revealing his ideas for the character in the next character update.
According to the username, one option is to buff the pilot form by giving her an ability to actually help the team once she loses her mech. The other option is to buff her Defense Matrix ability so it can be used to defend allies from behind, rather than forcing D.Va to go into the line of fire to block shots.
Mugunghwa proposes that D.Va should be able to stand behind an ally and project the Defense Matrix in front of them to absorb incoming damage.
After reading the suggested ideas for D.Va, "Overwatch's" principle designer Geoff Goodman praised Mugunghwa's ideas, but stated that D.Va's defense matrix ability can shield allies, but the drawback is that cannot defend against other attacks like Roadhog's hook.
However, Goodman stated that an upcoming change to D.Va that plans to “remove" thr minimum distance so the projectiles are killed directly out of the muzzle. This change should make it possible to protect allies from a close range Roadhog hook with the Defense Matrix, generally increasing D.Va’s utility as a support tank, PCGamesN reported.
In other news, it seems that "White Chicks" star Terry Crews could be voicing the next DLC character in "Overwatch", Doomfist.
Crews posted a question on Facebook asking fans if they wanted him to voice Doomfist for real this time. The post stir the gaming fans once again ever since his visit at Blizzard Entertainments HQ as several speculations hinted that Crews will likely voice the next DLC hero in "Overwatch" this year.
The "White Chicks" actor has been known to be a celebrity gamer, who has built his own gaming PC and plays "Overwatch" regularly. While it may assume that his visit from Blizzard Entertainment might be for personal enjoyment, gaming fans could not help wonder if Crews will likely be voicing Doomfist for "Overwatch" and launching the character sometime next year.
Doomfist is hinted to join "Overwatch" and was featured in the first animated short of the game. According to former "Overwatch" story teller Chris Metzen, Doomfist is a generational character all using the same super-powered gauntlets for both heroics and villainy.
Three characters who have used Doomfist have been featured in "Overwatch", with two characters being named Savior and Scourge, while the other is called the Successor, in this case the next person to adopt the mantle of Doomfist and possibly a future DLC character soon, Gamerant reported.
Other characters are rumored to join "Overwatch's" roster are Liao and Athena.
