I played some games as D.Va last night because Ball wasn’t working and I was sick of playing Zarya. It worked out well and we ended up stomping once I switched. I played some more games as D.Va and did well in those games too. Now granted it was just Quick Play, but it was still fun to have some good games with D.Va for the first time in a while.
Has anyone been playing D.Va lately? I think she is pretty good vs. Hog/Ball in the current meta.
She does feel more viable but can quickly become powerless depending on teamwork and team comps.
Without the double shields, definitely able to get some sweet kills with self destruct
Yes, this is very true. As a Zarya main I know the matchup isn’t very good for D.Va. I’ve mostly been seeing Hog/Ball though personally, at least last night. Plus like I said I was sick of playing Zarya at that point. Also, we were pseudo-dive comp and at first I was Wrecking Ball but switched D.Va to stick with the dive theme. Thank you for Replying!
I still try her periodically. She feels a little bit better than in double shield, but still often just evaporates and playing her is so risky because she is both an easy hook target and Zarya just feasts on her.
she DOES need buffs, but most Dva mains are wrong about what aspect needs to be buffed and what impact the changes they suggest will actually have on the game
she NEEDS a buff to DM range. It makes her oppressive in a non lethal way where she can get more value than other off tanks.
Off tanks are MEANT to be oppressive, so using the term here is fitting
dva mains suggesting more damage to rockets, 3s booster CD, 300 armor, all of these changes make her oppressive in an unhealthy fashion, More rocket damage would make supports murder victims in 3300+ with no chance of counterplay, 3s booster gives her more dive and sustain to be appropriately dealt with, and raising her armor to 300 doesnt make her “less fragile” it just makes non burst DPS that much worse, when dva is meant to enable non burst heroes
