Only viable DPS heroes are hitscan and hog and support is boring.
Zarya is pretty good RN and seems like a lot of fun, so I wanna learn how to play zarya.

One thing I have learned while playing Zarya is to divide bubble deploy by two. Giving it the illusion of 5 second bubbles instead of 10.
Bubble, wait 5 seconds, bubble. Repeat.

Rotate your bubbles as well as you can. If you use them both at the same time, you’ll have about an eight second period where you’re losing charge. Move up when you have your personal bubble, dip back when it goes down and put it on someone else if pressure allows for it.

To me, a large part of it seems to be about trying to control the bloodlust and not overstaying your welcome. When I get past that stage, I’ll be able to give you more tips, I’m sure.

Yeah, I found myself overextending way to much the little I played her.
I kinda felt like I had to do something with my 100 charge and instead I ended up back in spawn, with 0 charge.

You go back to the spawn room and click "D.Va"

It’s is a flexible decision. If you know you have good heals push forward, it’s ok to take some damage, she is a tank.
Sometimes I bubble into the fray or bubble out of trouble. (That rhymes 
)
Try to read the situation, go with the flow of the game. Usually when Zarya gets too excited to chase targets she accidentally isolates herself and gets focused down.

I actually used to play a lot of dva
But now she’s hot garbage
Still fun as hell tho when she’s working.
Dva is good with Zarya.

While melting the opposing team at high energy, use the voicelines “cool it,” or “you have failed your team”

I have a feeling this isn’t going to end well
-
if the other team has only one barrier tank, try building up your energy and shredding it. zarya has always been pretty good at barrier busting and putting pressure on enemy reinhardts
-
use your bubbles mindfully. if the other team has a hog with hook or a charged up zarya or a rein with shatter dont waste your self bubble chasing energy unless you know you have time to back up behind protective cover before your bubble goes away.
-
if the other team has a hog just save your bubbles for hooked teammates 80%+ of the time
-
use self bubble to body block for teammates when your teammate bubble is on cooldown

As Zarya, it is not always important to stay in front. While it may sound against the philosophy on tanks but sometimes, being behind is for the good of your team as you have a good view of what is going on where. For example, suppose that a Genji is diving your backline. If you are way in front then you have no chance of protecting them. Staying back however results in you using your barrier to protect them and also fend off the attacker.

No. D.Va sucks with zarya- Bye-
Dva bomb is bad with Grav?
The tank combo sucks.
Meteor strike, blade, barrage, EMP, Tracer bomb are all really good with grav, all these are also DPS ults so you get to play hog as 2nd tank
I guess if Zarya just bubbles DVA whenever she dives it can be really good but monkey is probably better for that anyways.
I like to play my Zarya against Winston and what I perceive as high cc spam damage. My Zarya likes to support Winston, Dva, Doomfist, mostly.
I switch off Zarya when she isn’t getting acceptable charge levels due to too much structure. Too often, Winston, Dva, or Doomfist dive into a room or behind walls where Zarya loses LOS.
