ITT: we talk about how D.va is a pretty under powered hero in most situation and give other mech bros tips on how to best utilize her abilities
>>
I don't understand how anyone says she's Underpowered.

She is absolutely fine. You need map awareness and hit and run tactics.

Also, for some reason, her "shitty gun" outside of her meka does a good amount of damage. Half of my kills during my games are done with that pistol. Just aim where the person is moving, not over them.

>50 hours
>only play D.va
>4.39 KDR

I know the game isn't about KDR, but she's fine, gameplay wise. Only thing I would say she should get is the notification on how long her shield stays up.

d.va is a sham tank
>>
>>340460940

I'll continue this post.

Use her boost to knock people around.

Hit and run from the sides.

Her boost lets her get airborne too, so she can harass turrets/snipers up high

Dont underestimate her out of meka pistol

While not in suit, if surrounded, jump around enemies, try to run between them and shoot them. If you do enough damage, you'll get your Meka back, and since you are so small, it'll be hard to hit you.

t. 15 kills 2 deaths Average per game, sometimes 0 deaths

>>340461383
Sometimes I feel like running away once you're out of mech and using your pistol to harass at range is an equally good option.
>>
>>340461317

>everyone learns how to avoid D.va at high MMR

Okay, but if you do what i do you'll get kills guaranteed.

>Boost straight up
>Jump out
>the meka falls and explodes instead of shooting past everyone
>the meka falls on the payload / point instead of away from it

Also, not sure how many people know this, but you can still do your ult if you're in the process of jumping out of your Meka.

>Korean weaboo notification pops up
>Press Q

it still goes off, the ult still works.

If you're worried about KDR, you're probably doing it wrong. Dva is meant to be played extremely aggressively. She's got amazing mobility with the boosters, so her natural habitat should be ramming into enemy widows and torb turrets and fucking their day up.

Flanking around defenders and causing hell on the point behind the defensive line, taking pressure off the main offensive.

Pair up with a tracer and you're going to be an absolute terror. Tracer's back line counters are widow and torb, which are what dva is strongest against. Similarly, tracer's best against high mobility squishies like mercy and lucio, which dva has a hard time sticking to with if they disengage.

But i already said here >>340460940 that I know KDR is irrelevant in this game, because it's a team based objective game. I know this is not cawwadoody.

however I cannot help the fact that I have 4.39 KDR just by playing the game. I always push the payload. I always cap points. I get mad when my 1 alive teammate doesn't throw themselves onto the point during overtime just to reset the timer.

im just proving my point by saying that you CAN win with her, and she is NOT underpowered.

She has her place, and can contribute to the team, but within her role, she's slightly underpowered.

Part of this is the huge critbox that completely negates the huge amount of armor she's got. Part of this is the lackluster ult. Part of this is the huge mobility hit she takes when shooting which means she's wide open in the primary engagement, and can't stick to anyone who really wants to get away. Plus, her self-sustain of calling a new mech is pretty much useless in higher mmr games where even making it out of the mech alive is 50/50, let alone staying alive long enough to charge a new calldown.
>>
>>340460940
>>340461383
This.

She's perfectly capable.

HOWEVER, I do think she needs her crit hitbox shrunk a lot.

I would support 100 less armor, but fully removing the crit box.
>>
>>340461864
This is the biggest problem, it's the only ultimate that puts a notification in your screen, while other equally devastating ults like Junkrat's wheel or Hanzo's dragon don't. They need to remove that shit so you can actually rely on the element of surprise. Otherwise evading the explosion is as easy as standing behind a lamppost or something just as nonsensical

Yes but he means make it a moving hit box, so you have a moving hit box that is harder to react to. It starts off not even on the screen, proceeds to turn yellow, and then turns red. Makes a hell of a difference if you use it in the air or away from the opponent to shorten the response time.

As a D.va main who also thinks you can do fine I think the idea of D.va being underpowered isn't the same as saying she is ineffective but that the work one has to put in to get the same level of "effect" is not on par with other heroes.

You can do well with D.va and she be underpowered in comparison to other heroes its not mutually exclusive.

This is the primary problem. It's very hard to keep anyone close enough for the range on the auto shotguns. People can typically escape at a standard backpedal.

you won't even have time to finish your main target when anybody who has half decent aim can crit you within a second of you showing up.
and with the damage drop-off of her lclick, anybody who breaks to disengage with other teammates around will almost guarantee that your "hit and run" turns into a "get hit then run" if not worse.

2) The only people who can be bothered to play her are hipstershit faggots who have gotten autisticly good with her.

Additionally, there are some maps that heavily favour her choke point and tight space fortification playstyle. I don't remember the last time I played on temple of anubis and the defending team didn't have a symm.

Yeah she is the least picked because most of the maps she does nothing but die over and over on. She has a high win rate because the maps you do want her on are so incredibly effective that she can be a huge benefit.

It's really not that hard but it's also why you can't just look at win/loss, k/d, and points to know if someone is balanced or not. Team comp is a huge part of overwatch and even the best heroes have some counters.

What makes people like mccree op is that he is too good in too many situations that he is better than he should be. Not that picking him means that you automatically win.

>hit and run tactics.
This seems to be the thing critics of D.va seem to be failing to accomplish. Her boost is there for a reason, and that's not to fly around and have fun. I primarily use it to chase people down when they try to run away, but it's also great for getting into the mix, hitting a few targets, or one that other team mates have whittled down, and then getting out before you get hit with a big counter attack.

People also need to learn to utilize her defense matrix. One of the biggest criticisms I see is that her crit hitbox is too big. Well, you know what negates that entirely? Defensive matrix. Pop your matrix and you can walk into a wall of enemy fire completely unscathed. It can be a critical tool for advancing your team. I can't count how many times I've managed to push through a well-defended point and get my team further down the map just by using the defensive matrix. It might not last long, but the few seconds its active can cause a lot of disruption for the enemy team.

The last tip I have is get fancy with her ult. Sure, you can just drop it if you're getting swarmed, but you can toss it by boosting and hitting Q while you're moving. This also applies to moving in the air. You can throw the thing over walls, in windows, over shields, behind turrets, whatever you need to do. Get creative, it makes her ult a lot more effective if you can get it to a place where the enemy team isn't expecting.
>>
>tfw I get 300 ping almost every match

It's a living nightmare
>>
>>340469193
Symmetra is really, really fucking easy to play. The only thing you need to know to play her is map layouts so you can put the turrets in good places. And even then, you can be insanely effective with her even if your turrets aren't well placed because when people are in a firefight you can rush in and murder countless people with your primary fire because often times before they even realize what's going on it's too late and you're doing way too much damage for them to respond.

The teleporters are also a big reason why they have such a high win-rate. Having a teleporter up consistently means that defending first points becomes a shit ton easier.

Her actual gameplay is simple as fuck though and she's insanely easy to use, but she's just not too useful under some circumstances and because of her rare use in pubs a lot of pubs don't realize how to easily deal with her or her teleporter.

>D.va out of her mech is objectively the worst character in the game
HAHA, OH WOW
Her pistol is surprisingly effective. I've gone head to head with Edgelords and walked away with a kill. It has crazy range and hits pretty hard, and it has a pretty good magazine size. Use her quickness to get around behind people and unload on them, people drop quick with multiple hits from that thing.

It's just that "super mobile projectile mitigating tank" is handled by Winston much much better

She suffers from the exact same counters as Winston (reaper, mccree, mei, roadhog, potentially ranged if your E isn't available), so it's not like there's an edge case where you pick her to do something winston can't

>>340470782
>that agonizing pause as she aims the headshot just right

>>340470782
the problem with mei vs d.va is that d.va's firing already slows you down and you do so little damage from range that you need to get close to actually kill her, which makes it easier for her to slow you down further and freeze you.

Basically, if you run into a mei as a d.va you should just boost away.

that's something a lot of people haven't learned in this game in general. A lot of people refuse to run from a hard counter because the usual reaction in shooters is just to go "Well, I'll just outskill them"

One of D.va's problems is that she can be way too easy to avoid.
>>
>>340471442
I think part of the general reluctance to run from Mei is that when you're in the mech she looks so fucking small and non-threatening that it doesn't seem possible for her to completely wreck your shit. Even when you've run into her a few times it still feels like you should be able to overpower her because you're just so much bigger. I think once people get past that they'll be more willing to accept retreat as the way to handle her.

This, people try to play her as a straight up tank, her massive crit box/hit box makes her bad at standing around soaking damage.

Fly into a flanking position, get some shots off, pop your APM shield when you start taking too much damage, when thats about to drop, zoom off for more HP and repeat from a new position.

Tl;dr, flank, harrass, distract, retreat, repair, reposition, repeat.

Wait her meka has head shot damage? That is the area I was talking about previously not fighting her.

>>340460374
I don't really consider her a tank, more of a tanky annoyance.
Get in peoples faces. if you push pharah into a corner and force her to fight you, you can either get her rockets to hit herself while your shooting her or use your e to absorb a few of her shots and attack her while shes reloading. You can also chase down unsuspecting snipers if you can get relatively close to them and rocket towards them. Widows hook has a looong cooldown so you can chase her down really effectively. People like winston and roadhog who get destroyed by reaper can also get shreded fairly fast by dva if you're close to them and all of your bullets hit (especially in their head). Your dash does damage and can push. Use it to finish off running enemies and bully/displace people. Getting good at using her little girl form pistol can let you get your mech back faster than you would be able to respawn and run to the objective, don't underestimate it.

A smart Mei is going to exploit D.va's weakness, ie she's going to run circles around her while ice beaming her ass. Sure, if you run into a shitty Mei you can just tank the ice and shoot her in the face, but a Mei that has any idea what she's doing will hand D.va her ass almost every time.

also one more, if you can coordinate with someone, she can be a bastion's nightmare. Since her block doesn't have a limit like reinhardts, get a friend to shoot at bastion while you fly towards him with e on. In general coordination with other people can lead to her e being very strong. Like blocking a soldier/mccree ult while someone blows them down or blocking junkrat grenades, pharah missiles or sniper shots to let your team get close to them.

Goddammit people, pubstomping isn't a proper measuring stick. Not to mention that if you spend an inordinate amount of time playing one hero, your sense of balance is going to be skewed like a motherfucker.

D.Va, going by her kit, is intended to be a choke breaker, with an aggressive mobility facet to differentiate her from Rein. The problem is, she has the lowest kill pressure of any non-support, so her harassment lacks any sort of punch. She's so hilariously easy to disengage from that she still is more annoyance than threat, even in her most favourable 1v1 matchups. And once you get to a skill level where players can ignore annoyances instead of running out of position to chase them down, she's the most ineffective hero in the game. Her Defense Matrix is all right, but compared to other tanks it's nothing special. Ditto for her ult.

The sense I get from her design is that she's supposed to be a jack-of-all-trades tank who's got a little bit of everything. Reinhardt with range, Roadhog with mobility, Winston with........ Anyway, she's just so poor at the basics of the game that you're much better off picking someone else. Maybe it's just a problem jack-of-all-trades have in OW, that the game rewards coordination between specialists over picking a hero who's decent at everything.

Remove her slow while firing and if that's not enough, make her mech headshot hitbox just the pilot instead of the whole visor.

Mercy's pistol fires once every 0.2 seconds, 20 damage per shot.
D.va's pistol once every 0.15 seconds, 14 damage per shot.

In a controlled scenario (no shots missed, fired nonstop):
vs 150 health
D.va 11 bodyshots, 1.5 seconds ideal minimum.
D.va 6 headshots, 0.75 seconds ideal minimum.
Mercy 8 bodyshots, 1.4 seconds
Mercy 4 headshots, 0.6 seconds
vs 200 health
D.va 15 bodyshots, 2.1 seconds ideal minimum.
D.va 8 headshots, 1.05 seconds ideal minimum.
Mercy 10 bodyshots, 1.8 seconds
Mercy 5 headshots, 0.8 seconds

As the enemy's health gets higher, D.va's lethality with the simple pistol is further distanced from Mercy. Going any higher and you'll get to the point where they'll need to reload, which D.va will be doing more often and take longer to do so.

However, while D.va's Lightgun damage is not as strong, each shot landed builds up a hell of a lot of meter for her to spawn andother Mech. In comparison, Mercy's blaster doesn't build up nearly as much.
Despite the two of them having functionally similar sidearms, they have two different purposes.
Mercy's is an emergency backup to fight with, D.va's is a tool used to get back to her tank form.
>>
>>340462824

>>340475540
Increase the range of her LC, more flight time, less cooldown on Defence Matrix.

Also, it'll sound weird, but buff Symm's Photon Shield, it'd be useful for D.VA when they're in a team together, and give her more functionality as a tank in Defense.
>>
>>340470201
She's also great for flanking, especially in combination with someone like a tracer. She can easily break enemy lines alone in an objective and then survive well enough to weaken the enemy team formation and allow the rest of your team to break through.

>D.Va is either going to get a damage buff (mostly in terms of lowering the rate at which damage drops off over distance) or survivability buff, but not both. They're testing both options currently. This will be later than the McCree nerf, which sounds like it's soon.

>D. Va getting a damage buff

But why? Tanks aren't supposed to do damage, just be able to take hits. All they'll probably do is make it tougher to get criticals on her

>>340489563
Cause she's the squishiest tank?

>>340473151
Only because retards on /v/ think tanks are literal meat shields. Their in game description specifically states that they are perfect for pushing attacks & holding objectives, not hiding behind.

Gotta learn how to be a sniper with her shotties like that faggot Reaper is.
>>
>>340491164
Not to mention her crit box makes her easy as fuck to kill. I can easily destroy a d.va as a fucking soldier at close range. I should not be able to do that
>>
>>340491164
Honestly her damage is fine, the problem is its impossible to keep anything within firing range thanks to the stupid movement penalty. I hope they just change that rather than buff her damage.
>>
>>340491862
I would accept the movement boost or less spread for her guns instead of a damage buff. Oh and remove her fuckign marker from her ult. No one else gets a marker why her?
>>
>>340492014
Tracer's has one, it just explodes so soon after getting tossed that most people don't notice it.
>>
>>340492085
by the time tracers goes boom it's understandable. d.vas take a good whole ten seconds
>>
Going back into spawn should return your mech. It's bullshit that it's basically faster to die and respawn to get your mech back
>>
>>340492014
Yeah. They really, really should remove her marker. It makes her ult completely useless
>>
>>340488587
Except it's shit at area denial because it's so easy to LoS you can literally just crouch behind a fucking trash can

D.Va is such a fucking retarded hero.

You have a high health pool with armor except you don't due to the huge crit box. The only way to utilize that armor is turning around when someone starts firing at you.

Your boost grants you high mobility except people can easily walk away from you while you're firing. Yes, you can catch up to them if you boost once more but if they aren't retarded they led you into their team so you'll have to either pop shield or run around the nearest corner with your ass armor.

Then if your mech gets destroyed it's a fucking death sentence if you're deep in enemy territory like a flanker/harrasser should be. Your character changes entirely from flanker to a supporting fire role. The only way you're allowed to survive out of mech separated from your team is if the enemy simply cannot aim.

Her rapid shotties do more damage than Winston but if you want to tank & flank you're just better off as Winston. If you want a higher damage flanker there's a plethora of better options including Pharah if you want additional paths to the enemy.

I wish she could move at normal speed & boost while firing so people can't just fucking walk away from her. I wish that she had mobility in her pilot form so she could still function as a harasser rather than suicidal bitch. I actually can live with huge critbox if she had the firing mobility i asked for because you can just turn away and go on the offense when they're reloading

considering the alternative is either generic waifu shit or her normal cancerous personality I think this gremlin deal is the best thing we could hope for.
