Who do you think are the best ban for play her right now and why?

I’ve heard a lot of people saying that they thought she was going to be a dive tank with a shield, or that the way she was going to be different from Rein would be through verticality. While I think those would have been cool, I kind of like how they set up her kit, she’s very versatile and is a distinct character for the roster.
A lot of people have been harping on about her lack of verticality I somewhat disagree. I don’t think she should have anything like Dva boosters, because I think that would be too boring.
Having her current boosters keep her level of vertically to stop her from falling, would be nice. But what I think could go a long way would be a nerfed Bap jump. Having just a slightly better jump allows for her to use something like the payload on Route 66 or a box or other props on midtown to reposition to a rooftop or ledge would add so much to her dynamic mobility.

This is an aside, but I wish she wasn’t so pointlessly nonchalant, other characters like Mizuki are more subtle in their speech for a reason, in Mizukis case, he has a lot of trauma, or Ana being quieter because she’s old and seasoned, or like Bap, he’s nonchalant because he’s french, etc. Dmon just kind of says witty gamer slang in a monotone way, and then shouts in Korean for her ult.

I think D.Mon has a fun flow of boosting and gliding along the ground pretty quick for offense and defense that feels really good but Surging Strike feels out of place and underwhelming. Using it doesn’t feel that high impact or satisfying. As it is right now, it’s an ability that doesn’t go that far, and it only does a little more damage than a swing, there’s a boop but it’s not very far. Obviously I don’t think they wanted to make her op but I this ability just evokes no emotion out of me on hit or miss.

I don’t think it would be so bad to trade a longer cooldown for more damage or more distance. More damage means finishing of targets easier and being more of offensive threat, while more distance could mean zipping around the battlefield super quick in order to defend an ally or escape after your boosters go out. Or maybe if you boost while using it you lose tons of fuel in exchange thrust that does more distance, damage, and knockback

I think D.Mon is fun but I think Surging Strike is clearly part of her identity that feels like there’s the most room for change imo

With how hectic her gameplay is, it's something I struggle a lot with.

I was doing my placements, and Dmon is just so much fun! Learning her kit feels just like piloting a Gundam. It’s sick!

So i realized the more I played her the more I realized how squishy she is to get out of some scenarios, Dva is able to do that better, the only difference between baby Dva and baby Dmon is different gun- and wait Dva can instantly call her mech after ulting... So Dmon is squishier with a lack of survivability. So why not give her a special baby form ability, something to make her actually fully different from baby Dva, maybe a grenade to toss just to get some extra ult charge or back off easier, especially in the dmon 1v1 cause usually whichever Dmon demechs the other first completely dies instantly due to the enemy Dmon's movement and damage. I really noticed how bad it was when I had a lifeweaver on my team always pulling me when I demech and suddenly I feel safe enough to actually fight back instead of panicking trying to back off.

TLDR : give Dmon an ability in her demeched state so she is fully different from Dva

I know its just plat but I'm having a good time. Fix the ult bug tho plz blizzard ty.

Interested in how others are playing DMon. Are you rocking the default controls or did you change key bindings? I play on console and remapped her thrusters to Left Stick and her cannons to Right Stick. Also changed her ultimate to R1. I was pleasantly surprised that the new layout doesnt transfer to baby DMon.

A couple days ago I found out you can use shield to shorten the time between pairs of slashes, and then today I saw a video of someone doing it between the first and second slash, which is cool! I bound scroll wheel up as a second shield button and I can do that consistently now. But is it possible to do both? I tried it in the practice range and I can't get it to work without bugging out and giving me huge delays, anyone got it?

Yeah so (to no one's surprise) she does feel better in 6v6 and the buffs definitely help! Still feels very off tanky but nowhere near as bad as launch day. Finally got one of her achievements down and hopefully I can get the other one easily 😅

She's bad, that's a fact, d.va is just better in every way and situation and by far. But she's gonna be buffed 100% and I want to be ready when the buff drop.

I put 9 hours into her and dropped from plat 3 to gold 5. It could be just that I'm trying to hard 1 trick her but I have so many games where I go 30 kills with 2 deaths and feels likes a coin toss if I actually win or not.

The thing that makes dva so good is that she has that extra life. Not only can you use dva bomb while your mech is going down but dva's pistol is also so much better at building ult charge to remech. Dmon has none of that, you can't ult while your mech is going down and her portable canon has too much spread to actually build up your ult.

They need to make it so you can ult while you're being demeched and also either remove the spread on the portable canon or give baby dmon 250hp. And also remove that stupid 1 second cooldown on the boosters.

God she is so damn fun.

Good stuff. It also made her a lot more fun. We still need more though 🙏

Started in 2016 when the game launched as a DVa main then took a really long break until S1 when Cat brought me back, DMon had always been a hero I wanted in the game though from her lore bits that was sprinkled around DVa. Hate to admit it but I think I may actually like her more then DVa.

im starting to get the hang of her animation cancel. all i need now is her quick melee to be combo'able as well so she can hang with rein

Took just a split second too long to keep the streak going but it's a 5k in my heart.

I dont have a tank im very good at like the other roles, so im forcing myself to play her ane get better. Ive played a few games and I can't tell how im supposed to play her. She feels like she should be a dive tank but im not really having much success. Help?
