I still refuse to believe that she isn’t a SC2 pro. She had a fake profile on the actual SC2 website, she was presented as a SC2 pro. She has SC2 voice lines in the game. She was advertised as a SC2 pro in HoTS. But just because Michael “can’t make up my mind” Chu decided that he’s just gonna change the lore for no reason and then basically tell us we were wrong the beginning.
It also appears that every reference about SC2 and D.Va have been retconned.
Something from Blizzard themselves: Although D.Va is known most recently for her activities within the Overwatch organization, her journey began in the StarCraft esports scene, where she became the #1 ranked player in the world at the age of 16.

I mean no offense but she doesn’t really seem that important. Nobody hates her, she doesn’t have any enemy factions and the closest thing she has to a connection with the rest of the cast is with Lucio.

if they have multiple models. maybe we could have a new mission in ‘archives’. you all play as d’va. with a different color mech and a different pilot. and your ‘micro missiles’ ability is replaced by another ability depending on the MEKA class you chose. you fight the collosal omnic as a bossfight. maybe the omnic could even be controlled by a fifth player. creating a 4v1 bossfight.

This is exactly why she NEEDS LORE.

idk how to really feel about it. It was clearly intended to be advertisement for SC and I went through the following phases during the years:
-I didn’t like it cuz it didnt made sense lore wise and was an obvious ad
-I accepted it
-And now I am just confused why they even bother retconning it since we didn’t know anything about her anyway
I am not sure why they even bother changing it (maybe something to do with the SC2 community, idk).
All they had to do is just to admit the retcon but maybe they were afraid from a backlash since it was used to sell stuff and now it doesn’t.

I always assumed D.Va was the Mech, and Hana was the pilot.
D.VA is probably the only character in the game that actually got her lore nerfed when they changed her back-story to not make her a Starcraft player anymore…

I’ve always imagine D.va as a close ranged assault mech, with a second support mech bringing up the rear armed with mortar and railgun, loaded up with armor but no defense matrix and can only dash along the ground.
Hopefully before the Sun engulfs Earth.
better delete it or blizz will ban you xd
what does that have to do with this post… and also you should delete it if you don’t wanna get in trouble when blizzard sees it
Guess I missed something.
Maybe, if the new hero is Junkerqueen then we could see a short with D.va and the Queen. That would be pretty cool and could add another character rivalry, like Lucio/Symmetra, Ana/Widow, Soldier/Reaper that sorta thing

I can’t even remember the last time we got lore for anyone.

I would love to see a D.va comic or short, maybe about her MEKA team.

if I remember correctly last time we got lore for a specific hero was rein with his animated short. but if you mean lore in general, then naturally the archives event with retribution

she was too strong in season 7-9 so this is how we balance her by giving her less lore
I could be wrong but what about Symmetra and Moira’s Oasis skin? Isn’t Oasis where they worked? Symmetra as an architect and Moira a geneticist or something.
I stopped to read when you said Ganymede is a random bird.
In fact, you said that at the end of the post, so there was nothing more to read.
