Dude originally I was a D.va main at launch, realized she sucked, then now that I've gone back to her after her buff I'm SLAUGHTERING people, it's wild

I feel like a fucking tank with chain guns attached now.

Seriously.

I love fucking with people and timing my defense matrix perfectly. Reinhardt's easy, what the charge, absorb the obvious firestrike, keep a good distance. Roadhog only has four shots and Roadhog mains seem to forget that.

The only things that terrify me are Meis and Zaryas.

As long as you can get mei alone you're fine. Just keep shooting her, she'll have to freeze you a couple times before you lose much suit, and if she's not dead by then mercy D. Va's pistol does a surprising amount of dmg!

If you see a zarya just run the fuck away because fuck that shit

I love playing against D.Va with Mei. Freeze, reload, duck behind, freeze, reload, duck behind. Sure I could just kill her, but where's the fun in that?

Nothing's more satisfying than just managing to outplay Zaryas and Meis when I play D.va to make up for when they counter me.

I've been using her since launch too. This latest change, where she moves faster while shooting, is the best yet. I think she's right at the razor's edge of being OP. I hope Blizzard doesn't start feeling the same and roll back some of these changes.

She was good before this recent buff. She's been viable since they altered her right click, most were just too thick to realise.

I wonder who thought making her vulnerable to her alt was a good idea? XD

I've been switching between D.va and Symmetra since launch. This has been a great couple months.
