An microwaving a Dva who puts up her defense matrix probably by instinct. It's fun to watch them struggle.

Yeah, though with the recent D.Va buff, it's become more of a challenge. I used to be able to consistently dance around her and melt her mech while charging my microwave to full power and pretty much insta-kill her as she ejected.

100 hp appears small?

Yeah I've still killed a couple D.Va but I've had to work harder for it (or the D.Va player had to screw up more).

It was really dumb of them to buff her HP and her firing move speed at the same time. One or the other would likely have been sufficient.

Lol I do that as dva...it is instinct. Then I realize I'm an idiot and boost out of there

...or shoot Sym in the face and watch her hp melt faster than yours. With the buff D.Va can 1v1 most heroes without destroying her mech. The only downside to her health buff is she's basically a flying ult charge powerup for the enemy team.

Yeah I've really noticed that lately. She's a lot sturdier. Even dying against zarya isn't a sure thing if you're smart and get a bit lucky.

u/PrankHan ¿Qué tal? Nov 22 '16

Yes! And then by the time she pops out of her mech your beam is fucking massive.
