BABY DVA SELF DESTRUCT Ability

So in many games, you can open a console and /kill and kill yourself when it’s strategically advantageous. In OW you can only jump off the map.

I 100% think BABY DVA should have an ability where she can prevent being BM staggered. I call this ability to SELF DESTRUCT.

When you are Baby DVA you have a bomb on your chest and if things are not looking good, you can blow yourself up and deal 150dmg to those around you 3M.

Now you can respawn with your team instead of being slept fronzen by the enemy team.

I dont play DVA, I dont like DVA but I think a team’s ability to stagger her shouldn’t be in the game.

She just need a tracer/genji base movement speed imo. But again the cc in this game probably is the problem rather than her own design.

I heard rust - did anyone say rust?

Baby DVA does not need a buff. She needs a way out when she’s de-meched. Right now players just disconnect and reconnect when they know a team is going to BM stagger her.

I mean, like I said that is the way. If she’s demeched last in a fight and there’s still fights left, that would be her fault to not know when to retreat. Otherwise that movement speed buff wouldn’t do much other than allowing her to get out of the fight before it ends badly for their team, if that’s the case.

Especially now that she has a 3s mobility ability that allows her to re-mech far enough from the fight and still be useful. Which makes her not being in the middle of fight in pilot form more plausable.

And that results in a ban as an abuse of game mechanics.
100% not allowed to do that. To be honest though I think being able to stagger someone is fair and it’s not locked down to only baby dva, it’s a mechanic of the game, a kill command would not be too great for this game and would 100% be used to deny ultimate charge when someone gets picked denying a cleanup in the fight which comes with a set ult advantage.

Gotta say I’m against the idea.

D.Va

  • Ability: Kermit Suicide

Key: Interact (F)

While in pilot mode, D.Va pulls her light pistol up to her head and fires the trigger, instantly eliminating herself.

as a D’Va player I would not want that. As I get many kills with my bunny gun as pilot D’Va and people would tell me to kill myself which I don’t want to do.

Baby D.Va should just get a buff.
First of all: The moment you press Q, you are in your Mech. You cannot be killed anymore, only the Mech can be killed. The Mech should also instantly appear when you press Q so there is always something to shoot. The Cast Time is not changed.
Second: Add a “Charge Mech” Ability. Allows her to rapidly charge her Ultimate (10 seconds = 100% Charge). She also instatly uses Call Mech! if it becomes available while using the ability. She cannot move or shoot while using this ability and there is a delay if she interrupts it so it’s super risky to use.
And maybe let her Self-Destruct Ultimate Meter charge while she is in her Baby Mode.

With all of that, she should be fine and leaving her alive isnt a viable strategy anymore.

Or just dealing 28 damage to herself.

LMAO, /kill would make me laugh like heck in some situations!

Players jump off the map all the time to respawn with their team. Committing suicide is committing suicide no matter how you look at it.

High-level players leave the match and rejoin ALLLLLLL THE TIME when being caught in a BM stagger.

How can you say its fair for a Mei and Anna and rein to stagger a baby dva for 20 seconds, effectively keeping her out of the next team fight for 30 to 35 seconds?

It’s not right at all and that’s coming from a person that loves to stagger baby dva.

I’ve been stuck in parts of the map before and had to leave because I couldn’t move. I support this.

it’s not fair, the game is not fair. pilot D’Va needs to avoid that (you are small and fast get out of the way)

JIHAD BABY DVA ABILITY

I mean We could just give Baby Dva a JIHAD ability, where she has a bomb attached to her chest and if she’s in a bad spot she can just blow herself up and do 150DMG to players around her like a weak pulse bomb.

/kill is for wimps. You need /explode.

Just make it a lot easier/faster to re-gain the mech.

This is a tradeoff for being able to contest after getting demeched. Staggers are part of overwatch.

That said I can support /kill taking 30 seconds to work, and being uncancellable.

How is it not fair? I unironically literally literally see no problems with this.

what if baby d.va had a countdown out of mech, if she didn’t shoot or hit anyone with her gun within that time she would just die?

you can stagger so many more heroes than just baby dva.
