Finally tried DVA, how did that go live. So horrible. Like with no reload I suppose if you somehow survive a bit you can down folk while reloading. But really would be much better off with a more conventional reload balanced around perhaps unloading on folk then jump jetting out, because current gun relies on time in the fight to unload any damage. Would like to see something a bit more mid range capable on a reload.
You're not going to love every Hero but D'Va is one of my favs. Just depends how you play her.
Steps to playing D'Va:
First you need to buy the "Winky Face" emote. Then spam it once you enter your match.
Next, know her role: D'Va is a flanker, pusher, and disrupter.
Flanking: Go around/over/under terrain to get to the squishy backline
Pusher: Jet into people to push them away from objectives, into walls, alter their Line of Sight for Ult usage, or just push them off cliffs to their death.
Disrupter: Tank all the enemy ults with your E. Force people away from areas with your Ult.
Pharah: Shift into her and use E to make her commit seppuku, even in the air a Pharah's not safe from a D'Va.
Soldier 76: E and keep in front of him, your E extends away from your mech, if you're close enough to the Soldier he can't use his Ultimate basically at all unless he shoots behind himself. Your E will block Left/Right/Ahead, basically a 180 or 270 degree is blocked off depending how you approach him.
Reaper: You can Shift into him to push him away and also E to soak up hits.
McCree & Junkrat: Can't do much, your mech insta dies but then you just do uber damage with pistol. Saccing your mech to a Tire to save team is a viable strat.
D'Va is not meant to tank much, especially without E and she definitely can't fight too many at once, really she can only 1v1 but you can still harass snipers & healers enough to allow your team some breathing room and she can also 1v1 almost anyone as long as she gets CLOSE RANGE. Don't be afraid to charge into your enemy, it does some damage, disorients them, and makes your guns do insane damage since every bullet will hit.
As a Mei main I love running into D.va. She always seems to think she can 1vs1 me at close range because I am not a tank and I just end up smashing her and then walling her retreat off when she's in human form.
Mei is considered 1 of the hard counters to D'Va, so yea, a D'Va shouldn't fight a Mei 1v1.
Mei counters practically every tank.
