what good is DM when half the roster punches through barriers, are beam characters whith a small hitbox and we have self healing tanks. Give Dva her former wider cone DM, tighten the fire spread and make her durable against beams, since all the tanks can easily defend against that BS

I did a Google image search for “muscular D.va”.
And, pretty much none of those search results would be appropriate for the forums.

you had to go and type that… now im hooked 
DV.a is genuinely fine though? She is really strong in comps that don’t consist of beam heroes, which is often as hitscan and projectile heroes are vastly more popular than beam heroes. DM is a very poweful ability on a short cooldown & her mobility is great as well. Also, Overwatch’s philosophy is that swapping is essential to winning the game. You’re meant to swap if you’re getting countered. Either swap or out smart.
I’m just not sure how she’d be buffed without being the biggest pain to play against.

That’s something that I didn’t know, that swapping was intended. I thought it was only a skill issue on my part. I try to stick with a tank, or a character n general. But now I know. THX

She isnt tho? Have you tried to play her for more than 1 match? Doesnt matter what the enemy comp is cause after 1 fight they will all go beam heroes
Stop trying to gaslight people into believing this bs, pressing H in spawn room isnt skill and a monke could do it
So just stand on spawn just waiting to see what the enemy goes, got it 
Adjust her DM to 15m back again, better mircomissiles, reduced critbox, more armour, more dmg on boosters, better spread for more consistent damage without having to hug the enemy, i mean there are many buffs that wouldnt make her OP
Refer to this thread for more info: D.va current status in ow2

huh???
where?
don’t say diamond now that’s a lie.
don’t say gm that’s a lie as well.
idk, i’m in GM and have consistently been GM since season 3. i’m also a Masters 1 DVa main and shes honestly really strong in the right hands. but i also know when its time to swap off if need be.
also, not lying lmao hitscan and projectile heroes are more popular than beam heroes

This is an issue every single tank has.
It’s a role issue not specific to any one hero. We must remember this.
Saying that though, in OW1 you could play DVA semi autonomously. Like any other tank. Then switch your brain on when you think they have ults. Now in OW2, you have to play like Tracer. That is, never switch your brain off. Always thinking what position is best to be in, what’s the perfect target to dive… timing… etc… It is incredibly mentally draining imo.
Not all tanks have to be AS switched on, like Reinhardt. I just yolo on him and it works out half the time. I think DVA is one of those that got it the worst in that regard. But all tanks do suffer the same issues to varying degree.
9/10 games I play Reinhardt, I see a Bastion and/or Mei swap. Always one of the two if not both. Regardless of QP or Comp.
As a Roaghog, 9/10 games I see a swap to Ana, if they even started without her.
Winston: Reaper/Torb/Bastion…
Etc… etc… The need to learn how to play against your counters is so much greater in OW Too. Which is why I can only play 1-2 games on tank in any one session. If I play tank at all. It’s not fun. That doesn’t mean these heroes need buffs or nerfs though.

she doesnt need any buffs though lmao. she isnt underperforming whatsoever. and with the recent season 9 leaks it looks like shes getting more armor and a buff to her ult. 15m Dm? no thanks. they experimented w her boosters doing more dmg numerous times and everytime it proved to be too strong. missiles are also currently fine imo.
if the enemy team goes zarya for example after a fight and you simply do not have the skills to outskill her, then yeah, you should swap. i one tricked DVa for fun and giggles in season 7 & 8 to Masters 1 and very rarely did i swap off because i couldnt outskill my counter.
Yeah man a max of 126 damage that you’ll never land all of with an average of 250 hp you have to go through definitely sounds like it’s a good ability to have next season…

you’re severely underestimating her main guns lol she does serious damage, the missiles are just a little “oomf” on top of her already strong damage capabilities
im not against the missiles getting buffed in particular, just dont really see a reason for it bc i truly believe dva is not underperforming

Idk, mech D.Va can’t jump so that button imput could cover bunny hop.

Those guns that you have to be on the enemy’s face in order to be effective? And if you’re that close to them they will just shoot at your giant unmissable critbox in the middle of the mech, which you cant defend cause its either DM or Guns, those Guns?
