I don’t even play Pharah, but I frequently notice D. Va and Junkrat players blowing themselves up on top of my shields and not taking any damage for it.
Why is Pharah the only player who takes self-damage?
She isn’t the only hero that takes self damage. Pharah, Tracer, Zarya, Ashe, Bastion, and Soldier all take self damage.

D.Va used to be able to be killed by her own ultimate back in the day.

d.va is taking damage from missiles. junkrat is the only one who doesn’t.
It make sense for him since tight corridors is where he should be most useful.

Pharah and Junkrat haven’t really been adjusted since Hanzo became the new normal for DPS.
One of these characters can fly indefinitely

If Phara didn’t hurt herself:
I’d just dive with her on every DPS and fire pointblank non-stop and then jump up again
I mean Pharahs do this already pretty much but this is basically it. So Pharah can’t go around shooting people point blank, especially in enclosed rooms.
I mean with her fire rate and her model size I honestly don’t think it really is that much of a problem.
I bet they could remove it and it wouldn’t do much in the ways of buffing her. May help those occasional self deaths but it would really buff her Ult. It’s bad got enough drawbacks already =/
dude i just saw someone using your icon
want me to crush them?
D.va also takes self damage from her micro missiles
Why you say that she’s the only one? Cause there’s plenty of more heroes who has self dmg.
Even the new hero; Sigma has self dmg.
I should ask for you why rockets, etc should not self dmg them?
Even in games like csgo granades, mollys, etc does self dmg. It would be stupid if they didnt.
To disincentivize barrel stuffing and getting too close to an enemy.
As a 700+ hour Diamond Pharah main, it’s fine.
Who wouldn’t want to represent the Protoss?

People with Terran or Zerg icons, I imagine 
Sad part is I’ve never played Starcraft, but I’ve played a ton of Vanu Sovereignty on PlanetSide.

I was thinking to prevent rocket jumping around, but you may be more right. It’s to prevent landing on their heads and blasting away with an easy kill.

That’s a good choice, at least in the original Planetside. Their tanks were fun
I was on the forums a lot there too, I got about 40 of my design changes into that game.
Including ground vehicle hotdropping and the last setup for how all the zones connected via warpgates.
Heck, even the idea you can remove your helmet at BR50.

as a pharah player the most annoying thing to me is being dove by a dva and I cant shoot her when she’s close cuz then i’ll end up killing myself
Now imagine how bad that will be with a Sigma barrier…
