Fix Diva’s Ultimate to make it possible to interrupt. It needs to be on par with everyone else’s ability which are capable being interrupted in some way shape or form. Junk’s rip tire can be blown up. Hanzo’s can be eaten by tanks, reflected, and stunned (of course you can just miss too). There are a few that are exempt like Baptiste and Sym, but it is a different type of ult. I feel like Diva’s ult should be treated just like junk’s and that you can destroy it before it explodes just so is on par with everything else, you don’t an excess amount of time before it goes off. There should be some risk involved with it, not o my mech just died but i can still set off my ult.

Running behind a streetlamp isn’t easy enough for you?

a… a shield stops it?? a lamp post? a wall? Baptiste’s field?? zarya bubble?? a very dedicated roadhog bodyblocking + huffing?
It’s the easiest ult to avoid. the payload stops it, it doesn’t even stop rein’s shatter!

all those are true for junks as well should his ult be immortal? His ult can be killed by anyone not just a few people.
Rat’s ult is far more controlled, not just movement but also when it detonates, dva’s is set and gives a generous amount of time before detonation and again junk can just move his tire so whatever cover you’re hoping to have doesn’t remotely matter (including shields)

It’s a miracle to get even a single kill with a D.Va bomb these days in any rank above Gold.
I think absolutely not!

It also has a giant marker showing everyone exactly where NOT to go.

I wasn’t aware that such a thing would buffer him enough to work. That’s actually quite interesting.
The more you learn.
D.Va average self destruct kills: 2.62
Junkrat average tire kills: 3.94

So if something is less controllable it should not be able to be interrupted? Then remove the interrupts on Hanzo’s Ult from what you all are saying.
What interrupts?
I’ve never seen a Hanzo ult other than shooting point-blank at a wall safely within his team’s controlled territory, or the surprise flank when he’s stealthfully infiltrated enemy territory. But even then, nobody knows he’s right there and he’s still shooting it into a wall without anyone around to say boo about it.
That said, to stay on topic: D.Va is fine, she needs buffs more than anything. She just doesn’t bring enough to be worth a slot right now and she needs to be made at least semi-broadly-viable.
IIRC this doesn’t work. Roadhog can survive, but he can’t bodyblock the AOE.

Hell, a shield with 1hp will stop the 1k damage!

I was never contending that you cant avoid the dmg, as that is true for all ults. Even Reins ult can be interrupted. Diva’s ult has an extremely large aoe and can be thrown at the other team so it has a moderate level of control. You can do it from the safety behind a shield if you wanted too.
Her ult is quite possibly the easiest to avoid in the entire game. If you have a problem with it then you are just bad.
Not only will lampposts and shields block it, but if you actually shoot D.Va during it then she dies which interrupts the ending (her getting mech back).
Also, I’ll point out that she’s literally the worst hero in the game right now. So, nerfing her would be insane. And her ult gets fewer kills than almost any other ult, so nerfing it is just ludicrous.

There are far easier ults to avoid such as tracer. The current way the ult is, it is unbalanced for the same application of other ults. I don’t care if they go the other way and make the other ults unable to be interrupted that are quick casts, but nonetheless i would prefer that it be the same in all cases.
Who’s Diva?

Plenty of things block it or prevent you from dying. If you die to it, it’s kinda your own fault or you’re just in a very unlucky position.
