I can’t recall the number of bad D.Va players. They boost alone before the team and get demech before the fight, never fall back to join the team, miss their ults all the time, take 1v5 as baby D.Va, don’t matrix their teammates…
I swear I have too many of them in QP. It is disgusting.
And that come from an ex-DV.a main, from OW1 pre-rework when she was way harder to play.
I am pretty sure they are contractually obligated to throw games. If they do not feed, they lose their commission.
I recommend not playing qp. Aside from the many other problems, ~95% of your dvas will do what you described. In comp the percentage is still higher than it should be, but is much lower.
The same can be said about bad players on any hero. Yolo Genjis thinking they can dodge bullets, rambo Winstons who guessed their bubble can hold a nuke and so on.
D.Va ones seems to be the most numerous.
Maybe after the Genjis ninja kindergarden students.
if you at all care about getting quality games, DONT play quickplay
Only place to relax after my day of work.
I play mostly comps in the week-end after a week nights of tech practice on characters.
Quality of matches were also pretty ok in OW1 QP, but now with OW2 out there is so much newbies it is exhausting.
Then what are you doing in OW?
Relaxing
Generally I find that people are unaware when D.Va is doing well, but quick to complain whenever she’s losing.
… being tilted enough to go to forums and complain? Ookay. I guess.
Because they are dps mains trying to play tank.
Diving Reins are worse lol
I know how you feel but hopefully these players stay awhile and learn the game, and get better.
There are just a lot of new guys in the game. Sometimes it irks me too because they don’t listen but it is what it is.
Yes, QP is more relaxing than comp, even if my tank is acting like the team doesn’t exist. I can go complain here after and relax as people talk about it too.
Yeah playing Overwatch relax me. I have a attention deficit. Playing other “relaxing” game only make me think about other stuff then the game. That is why I prefer when my brain run a 100% on a game. That is my way to relax myself. That and making love.
I could make a whole wall of text about how Quick Play has dozen of variety of casual players, point is, it’s Quick Play just enjoy, even if you lose you’re not gaining anything aside from Battle Pass exp really…
Hell you can even leave some games you won’t even be really warned if you leave 1 out of 10.
Wish I could get an opportunity to play with you, as I regularly play D.Va in Quick Play just for the hell of it and dont do what you’re describing (I also feel that ranked is full of way too many tryhards so I dont play it very often).
I will admit Ive seen my share of bad D.Va players though. Many dont seem to realize that they dont have to use all of her Defense Matrix in one go. Even more never seem to use her Missiles until they’re right on top of the enemy; but the ability has such a short cool down you might as well be firing them off whenever possible for the ultimate charge if nothing else. The same thing applies with her Cannons. Yes they have pretty a big drop off at further ranges, but with tanks now receiving less ultimate charge from taking damage I feel a D.Va player should be realistically firing her Cannons at anything they can see.
Because they’re boosted by their heroes strength.
I do respect a good D.Va player. D.Va can be a game changer in good hands. And they are generally nice peoples too! I never seen a triggered D.Va in-game from what I recall.
I just wish these new players would actually realize that even if they are in a mech, it doesn’t make them indestructible.
And yeah, the missiles can be pretty good to apply pressure. They should be used when possible!
Honestly playing D.Va is even better than it used to be as Im pretty sure the entire front of her mech is no longer a giant crit zone like the days of old. Ive only just returned for OW2 so I could be wrong though.
