She’s a frontline dive tank, yet she’s one of the worst duelists in almost every matchup, even compared to lots of healers. Her current design offers very few strategies where you can even handle a simple duel without help from your team. This is an issue that I can personally verify doesn’t exist with any of the other tanks, even Winston can deal more damage to multiple targets, at better range, through barriers, without aiming, at the simple cost of a reload time. D.Va can’t do any of that, and she becomes a sitting duck trying. PLEASE consider design changes.

Because you’re a bad DVA, no real way around it, if you’re regularly losing duels to most heroes as dva you’re either missing your boop combos or your DM usage is bad, there’s no way you should be losing 600 hp before you kill most heroes

Really?
I think she can solo kill almost all the DPS.
The problem is it’s never one thing shooting at her.

I’m gonna be real here…I’m more afraid of a mercy with her glock than dva

How on God’s dead grey earth does DVa lose 1v1s with supports
Like the ONE scenario I can see is you’re fighting an Ana, matrix the nade, get slept, and she immediately dips and leaves you alone for 4 seconds to do… Whatever it is old people with guns do
That there D.Ver can mess up lots of characters, you just have to ACTUALLY be fighting them 1v1, or at least with some kind of cover or escape route nearby in case it becomes not a safe engagement anymore

The way I used to see most Dva players play, they were using booster with micro missiles (and regular spam or DM) so that when they boop their target they cant avoid the damage
I was going to bring up that any Healer that knows how to aim for crits can handle a Mech just fine…

You should play some more FFA if you think Dva can’t duel anything. Hell, due to the size of her healthpool, close-range damage output and size of her weapon hitbox, she can outlive pretty much every non-tank in a 1v1.
It’s just that in regular games she realistically never gets in a 1v1 to begin with, so her duel potential can never shine.

You’ve clearly never played against anyone above Diamond, so I’m not going to pretend you know what it’s like when people actually aim for Mech’s crit-box…
I melt mechs all the time as Bap, Lucio, Mercy, and Zen. Not hard to hear/see it coming and position around it, a few headshots and your team is up one early Healer ult.

Her main job is perimeter def & cleanup crew now. And she does it well.

She gets by; but Winston and Hammie Ball do that same job with greater effectiveness and versatility.
I scrim at 4k, my peak is 4250. You’re just a bad DVA. It’s nothing more than that. There’s a reason she’s called fat tracer

You say I don’t play above diamond but compare DVA to 2 maintanks saying they do maintanking better than her, I can see you’re very good at the game

Hammie is the fat Tracer. He’s the one I can still 1v6 most non-Sombra comps with. D.Va just feeds 600HP to deal up to 100 damage with her kit if there isn’t a perfect comp or teamwork to protect her. Hammie has zero of those limitations simply based on design.

Ball is op, what’s new. Maybe don’t try fly in 1v6 as dva

6v6 where I frontline for my team is honestly pushing it as well. Other 7 tanks don’t struggle with that, either… Can we discuss fixing the design instead of dealing with you taking your day out on strangers online?

Why are you frontlining on DVA? Again this is the issue you’re a bad DVA that’s it. You wouldn’t complain about rein being bad if you played him like hammond

What’s the point of a tank that can’t frontline when her entire kit is only competitively viable at point-blank?
Am I a bad D.Va, or are you just bad at understanding how game design is supposed to work?

Frontline and dive are 2 polar opposites of stratagem. There is no such thing as frontline dive Tank.
LMAO. You’re literally the furthest line on your team if you’re so far ahead that you’re diving enemy healers, dude! What the hell are you talking about?!
