I agree that only hog has a chance against her in a 1v1 but even then I’m sure i can beat you on hog 75% of the time as D.va also you said it yourself she outclasses him and its not even close. (I’m OPEN to a 1v1)
I am biased but I try not to be. Generally when I’m thinking about buffs and nerfs I’m not just thinking about how it affects the character, but the characters around that character. D.Va is a difficult character to get right, I’ve played every iteration of her incredibly aggressively and I’ve enjoyed her no matter what changes she’s gone through. I think though her current form is by far her most fun and most satisfying to play well. I’m not worried about what nerfs she may get in the future because I’m sure I’ll still enjoy her regardless. I like to take the side of D.Va in these arguments because I feel like I know her well enough to provide (at least) decent points.
Though I don’t have much to say on how to nerf her, I’ve played against her a lot, but maybe I haven’t played against her enough because I haven’t really had issues with her. There are character I struggle against in the game that I have issues with when I play against them, but D.Va just hasn’t ever been one of them.

I noticed something that i found funny recently…
In TotalMayhem, All characters are supposed to be Op, Right?
Yet, Bastion specifically only gets the Double health. Meaning, The health goes from 200 Base+100 Armor, To 400 Base+200 Armor. The Exact Health Of A Regular D,Va
So, lets get something straight, To “Buff” a character like bastion in this oh so special mode, He is given the health of a Normal D,Va. That’s it. 
Says something about D,Va, If you think about it…
Maybe D,Va being more of a tank than the “Made for War” Literal Tanks Is a little weird… Hmm?
(I just found this a bit funny, Not throwing any shade at my D,Va friends here… ^,~)
She is Fun to play and I really would hate to take that away from you (well not me blizzard) but D.va is really Oppressive and needs some kind of tweak if not her abilities maybe a numbers change cus taking away abilities will probably make her less fun to play.
You definitively throwing shade I see you 
I’d be alright with it being more difficult to secure kills when she dives, but you have to be careful because you don’t want to make her do too little damage because she’d be point less. Softening up targets so your fellow dps can clean up the kills isn’t a bad thing though and would promote teamwork.
are you on ps4? i dont mean to toot my own horn because i am not but its very rare that a d.va can beat me in a duel but not because of my amazing skill just because d.va cant out survive hog, that said nothing should be able to out survive roadhog, in an actual match i would say i usually get between 1000 and 4000 extra damage with her per match than i do roadhog, i get usually around 10 more elims per match, i do block a lot more damage than i do heal with hog, she is far more versatile and with her ult has a second life
I’d say let her have the dmg but make her DM shorter (way shorter) and maybe take away the armor.
Whip shot doesnt stop jet boosters

I’m on PC. Damn the only player that was willing to 1v1.

… so make her DPS? Why would she even be a tank then?
She already is DPS an Insanely powerful one at that.

If you stun her prior to Whip Shot it does, obviously the immunity to knockback is one of the things that makes D.Va strong
Then it gets very touchy again because she is extremely fragile. Her DM is already just two seconds and she does need it to protect teammates like a proper tank should. I think the best thing you can do is make it obvious to other players that “HEY MY DM IS DOWN, ATTACK ME NOW” Rein has voice lines and his shield takes visual damage at 50% so counter-play is a lot easier to plan.

But I mean with her amount of DMG it Would only be fair, I dont see how we can change her otherwise unless we start removing abilities
OK… so your solution is just make her DPS only. A huuuuuge hitbox DPS who’s major damage skill is on cooldown most of the time.
If she was such a DPS powerhouse I’d see her top tier in every deathmatch game I played. But I NEVER see her. It’s all genji, mcree, widow and junkrat. All people you seem to think would just get deleted by a DVA.
A longer delay to pull up dm so you cant blip it randomly would probably help a lot.
Even with a shorter DM bliping it would still be possible. It’ll give players a bigger opening that they can confidently fight against.
Dude its Deathmatch you’re a big target People will always attack you first like I dont undestand how are you trying to balance a character around Deathmatch if that was the case everytank and support need insane amount of Buffs cus we dont see them in DM, like come on now.
also her shooting rockets while having DM up is a big No No, see what i mean she is not fragile at all even when she is attacking she is not fragile she should be most fragile when attacking but she is not.
Your argument is she’s overpowered and wins every 1v1. I’m saying “not the case.” The tank that rules deathmatch is Hog and he’s HUUUGE.
