I just feel like D.Va’s panic ult as she’s about to be de-mech’d is just such a silly thing. No other hero, after basically killing them, still gets to fire off their ult. And for such an Ult that is basically a “GG” button, it’s really high time that they change her Ult mechanics so that either it can’t be fired off as she’s De-Meching, or, if she does Fire it off, she can’t immediately re-cast her “Call Mech” without re-earning it.
It basically gives her a massive AoE clear and instant health regen from 0, after you’ve already stopped her.
This has been bugging me for a long long time now. Maybe we’d see lower pick rates for her too and thus wouldn’t have to worry about Zarya being such a forced pick against her.
I don’t think it needs to be changed. It brings in a level of strat at times on both sides.

That is basically the only use of her ultimate without a combo. Unless you are Poko, I guess. That legend’s aura was enough to make people Quan Chi into the bomb.

Her Ultimate is already devastating enough to completely alter the course of a match. It basically rewards her for dying. Much like Junkrat’s Martrydom. I’ve always been against the idea that a player should be awarded free kills just for losing a fight. In Junkrat’s case its just a passive that kills most DPS standing close.
For D.Va, she can fly in, neutralize Ults, deal damage, possibly net a kill, and just as she’s about to lose her mech, completely clear a point and instantly regain full health.
It’s just a silly concept. I understand she’s probably most players favorite tanks but… at some point, bad game mechanics just need to go, regardless of which character they’re attached to.

Doomfist comes close. Ult when low and heal up in the stratosphere.
Erm… i only die to her ult if i’m badly out of position. Often no one dies to her ult at all and i play in gold scrub lobbies XD
Getting 4 kills with her ult over 1 qp game is usually a big achievement. It can be only 2 even with 6 ults.
Getting just one elim is often time for a celebration.

- Winston
- Doomfist
- Ramattra (though his only gives him a little HP)
- Echo
- Ana (if the right perk is enabled)
All these get extended survivability with their ult even if they are at 1hp. Winston and Doom are even better than D.Va’s ult.
Remember, you can kill D.Va when she’s out of mech. It’s only 175 hp. Just shoot her and she has just wasted an ult. Or you can hard stun her and same. Ana sleep, hack, Doom punch, Cass nade, so many ways to just keep her from getting her suit back.
TL;DR - you have a skill issue.
Dva has way more issues like her overly bloated stats so she can physically function in 5v5.
Demech bombs is not one of them.
Roadhog moved out of the way when OP tried to hide behind him.
