The longer D.va's peashooter myth persists, the more success I shall experience.

Maybe you are just bad with her.
Neither of them are or feel like they are in the wrong categories.
I have more kills outside the mech actually.
Anyway, bumping: can we expect Overwatch on E3? Some news on first major update?

I want to see someone get a POTG with recon mode Bastion
For the longest time, I was like, eh, don't need it. Then I realized just how powerful it can be. One of the best things I did was to switch weapon change to Triangle (on PS4).
And yeah, I've also been surprised how many kills I've gotten with D.va with her "worthless" hand gun as well.

Eh mech form is good. You can really cover the vertical space with it.
I especially like using it to take out all the goddamn torbs and junkrats and bastions setting up shop on the upper levels.
Especially good for the final push of 66 too just due to the verticality if the level and self destruct is crazy good for clearing space for your team.

Don't stand there when you get out of your Mech.
I've been throphyhunting lately. How the hell am I supposed to block 1.500 damage with a single use of D.Va's defense matrix?
I like playing her. Dunno if my team likes me playing D.Va tho. I go head first into battles when I'm meched up, but play super pussy when my Mech is down. Good for my KD, but I feel like my team is missing a tank half the game.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Activate that skill in front of a Bastion in turret mode.

More often than not, when I lose my mech as D.Va I'm back in it faster than if I'd had to respawn and run back to the point.
No, she wouldn't.
I'm level 72 with a 69% win rate as D.Va. Many (if not most) of those games with gold medal eliminations. Let's dispel with this fiction that she's a bad character. Low tier at the pro level? Sure. But I'm not a pro and neither is anybody here. She absolutely wrecks pub games in the right situations.
That's how D.Va plays anyway? It's not like you can tank outside the mech, gotta be extra careful and pew-pew-pew from afar (that is if you escape the danger in the first place).
Hm I think not.

Justice disappears into your defense matrix from above.

But i still wanna wipe people out with a huge ult sending it over a building :/
Yep. D.Va's pistol was a surprise to me as well. Didn't realize it until I saw a really skilled enemy doing well with it to see how strong it was.

As D.va, I'm pretty sure I killed someone while boosting into them. Didn't even know it dealt damage.

Playing tracer after genji and DVa kinda fucks me up because I keep expecting to be able to boost up.

There's nothing more satisfying than losing your mech to a McCree combo, then popping out and finishing him off with a couple headshots.
"Winky face" just doesn't do it justice. But I still say it every time.
Yep. Even better, melee right as you run into them. A sizable dose of instant damage, then finish them off with your guns.

Alot of people here are discussing group games, since pubs are always going to be meaningless.
Oh I do that quite often, also people get more knockback if you melee them while boosting into them, this can send people flying off edges.
Definitely. I've taken out Solider in a 1vs1 before when I caught him off guard. Anything's possible mid-match.

I got that D.Va achievement pretty quickly by blocking a McCree ult with it for multiple teammembers. The one for getting 4 kills with her ult seems impossible though, unless the enemy team is stupid or you get lucky and can combine it with a Zarya ult or something.
"Love, D.Va"
That gets used a lot.
Nah, you've just got to arc that baby in. Come in from overhead to time it so it explodes as it hits the ground and it confuses everyone.
I bet "Is this easy mode?" gets used quite a bit too.
Because of MMR the fact that you have a 72% win rate with D.Va suggests that you are better at her than you are with other characters, not that she is strong or viable.
EDIT: This doesn't just apply to you, of course. It is simply that hero win rate is a worthless stat for everyone as it only represents your performance with that character relative to your performance as a whole.
It is the default line, after all.

Which has been given about the same importance as pub games for now until ranked, which by then they might have the buffs and nerfs in place.

I do that everytime though, launching it over walls and buildings so it lands perfectly on the spot. The enemy just hides when they hear it and see the big exclamation mark flashing... Most kills I got with it is 3.
I also suspected a lot of trouble trying for the Carwash trophy with Symmetra, but I got it on literally the first time I played her (picked her because half the team picked her aswell, we lost).
I set them up behind the wall on the left (from attackers side of view) on point B in Anubis. Then a Winston jumped in and I got it.

I've got 4 in one, but nowadays I mostly get 1 or 2 plus a whole bunch of turrets.
I like a lot of the sprays behind those trophies/achievements
You must have missed the part where I said "kind of feels". That was me having an opinion. You don't have to agree but don't act like you've got the definitive answer.

what? pub games are nothing like group games.
Gee I dunno, how about the gradual charge to 100% damage the longer you scope in
Yet in typical overcharged Overwatch fashion, it takes about half the time to reach full damage as TF2.

Oh I know, I'm saying that stats wise they don't really separate it out do they? Unless I'm missing a breakdown page.
Just feel like rank is where group play will really shine.

I don't know about D.Va but Symmetra still feels more like a Defense hero than a Support. To the effect that if someone picks her, you still want another support to actually heal the team.
Especially if Torb is defense since they both do similar things(gives out armor and places something to hold back the enemy).
I think Symmetra is right in support, because she is really a supportive character. But she doesn't belong with Lucio and Mercy. So one of them has to go. Maybe a healing category or Symmetra to defense.
Just give her a heal capability. Shields used to be it but after the nerf it's kinda useless.
