D.Va’s one of the most punishing heroes in the game
3 Likes
And one of the most fun (I may be a little biased as a D’Va one trick) , two different forms (MEKA and pilot) plus a varying kit makes it fun.
I’m starting to see more dva players in my qp game rather than any shield tank (mostly accompanied by hog). What is happening here?
bc she’s…ya know…fan service
That’s why I like her. She’s my waifu. /winkyface
no she is mine 
lol
Although her voice actor Charlet Chung is super adorable and 
Having her say “Nerf this winky face, love d’va” as she signed my pop funko was awesome 
Next time I see her at a convention I am going to get her to sign "nerf this’ on my nerf gun

I (shockingly) have the D’Va one.
Desperate people trying to brute force her here

I will still play D.Va in QP, because I want to, so there.
In comp, no. I’m not enough of a selfish dirtbag to do that to my team.
But honestly the only fun I have in this miserable game now is if I get her in Mystery Heroes, and I’m lucky enough to have a healer, and no hard counters on the enemy team. Can’t switch to easily destroy me now!

I’m not someone who likes to order others to swap, but dva is just not working currently. Rather than just making it feels like 5vs6 she also feeds ultimate to enemies, making it worse. I’d rather have bastion or torbjorn in my team rather than her.
for tanks, tell that to winston. shes only punished in so far as her own kit, cannot keep mech alive. after that you get a participation award in having baby dva weigh your team down.
I have only played D.Va a few times, she is not one of my favorites and I can’t stand how all she has to do to get POTG is ult. Sure the same could be said about Reaper, but to be fair D.Va most of the time gets POTG even if you have a Reaper on your team who also ulted at the same time as her, in the same place.
Doesn’t even matter if you kill more enemies than D.Va as Reaper, D.Va always gets play of the game and all she has to do is explode her lode on the point killing anyone who is not playing a character that can become immune for so long during a D.Va ult.
I am not hating on D.Va, but I have seen it seems really easy to get POTG as well as get good points with doing very little. Only one that stops me from saying D.Va needs a nerf is Bastion, because Bastion is way worst in terms of easy POTGs.
How about a Soldier aimbot in lower tiers or QP, or even McCree high-noon heck even pre-rework Mercy. Basing a characters balance based on how easy it is to get POTG is useless and dumb. If this were the case then every meta wh*re’s favorite heroes would get the Mercy/Symmetra treatment.
No ?
D.Va never went past the 60% mark in pickrates in more than one tier. At her best she was at 50% overall, with every other tank getting between 16% minimum and 40%. Compare that to the current situation: Rein and Moira both have higher pickrates overall this month, with D.Va below 7%. Hell, in GM this week, four heroes are over 60%: Hanzo, Sigma, Orisa and Baptiste, with D.Va at 0.42%.
An actual must pick would be post-rework Mercy: 80%+ in every tier, up to 95%.
No, she needs reverts, either to her numbers or to some of her nearly 3 years old changes.

ok I’m willing to overlook the fact that you said that dva’s ult doesn’t take skill to use, she denies more damage than rein, and that she’s better splitting up the backline from the frontline than a flanker. What I’m NOT willing to overlook is that you’re saying that dva is the best main tank in the game, despite her being one of the worst tanks in this meta.
Dva gets countered by zarya, rein, orisa, and sigma. Orisa has 2 ways of surviving her ult, fortify, and her shield. Zarya can farm grav off Dva and wait for Dva to DM before she ults (since there is a 2 second downtime between every DM) not to mention she can also block Dva’s ult with her bubbles. Dva denies some poke damage and ult charge from rein but other than that at close range rein can farm his ult off her and she won’t be able to do anything because of his armor which renders her primary fire basically useless if he’s at full health. He also blocks her ult with his right click (shield). Sigma doesn’t really counter dva herself apart from being able to rock her through DM, but he counters her ult pretty hard due to his shield being so easily maneuverable.
Please get this through your thick skull before complaining about Dva being the best main tank again.
even zarya a throw pick these days. the fact is, ironically, when they tried to nerf double barrier they just made it so you’re required to run double barrier now, because you now have to cling to as much shield HP as you can milk out of this game otherwise your frontline instantly melts.
there is literally only Orisa + Sigma, Sigma + Rein, Orisa + Rein
you’re gimping your entire team running anything else really. if you’re running rein zarya, the enemy team just has to swap to double barrier and their frontline automatically has more tankiness. they go rein orisa and now what? you both have a rein barrier, but they have orisa as well and your zarya won’t hang with the orisa in the tank battle, not at all. orisa can just delete zarya through her bubble by popping fortify, she wins that 1v1, it’s easy, i do it all the time.
there is no tank combo right now that doesn’t involve double barrier. dive still isn’t back either.
im not advocating for dva to be a main tank. im just saying some people do use it that way, and all the bad things that come with it as youve stated.
in my post you responded to, i mean her main tanks need to do her job for her, or suffer dying to poke if ignored. hope that makes sense.
You can literally say the same about most heros
no, it doesn’t make sense. what are you on about lmao
her job is carrying fights with her ult, peeling for squishies, diving with dps, wonton, ball, and lucio, and denying dps ults/grav.
HER MAIN TANK CAN’T DO THAT LOL
Tell that to my pilot d.va potgs
plz read the 1st part of that post.
when she doesnt do the job you have stated, in reaction the other tank, that being a shield tank has to do her job, otherwise he will die constantly.
we are literally saying the same exact thing. you think i made a post about people playing dva wrong, but at the same time want her to be a main tank? no i do not want that. your paradoxical statements are so bizzare i have a hard time believing your not a troll.
