I remember being 12 on summer break.

Being invincible for three seconds is a hilariously useless skill when you bring literally nothing else to the table.
She has terrible damage output and is arguably the squishiest character in the game despite ostensibly being a tank. She's outclassed even by characters she's supposed to be powerful against because of how easy it is to take down the mech.
She can be effective in the right situations, I guess, but Winston is pretty good in those same situations as well, while being superior in considerably more situations.
Competitive teams are generally "good enough", and the scenario you're describing doesn't really materialize there.
It's okay, I got my first legendary at 45.

There's no way that d.va is the squishiest in the game when zenyatta exists.

Her ult just doesn't kill anyone on my team anymore. Everyone knows how to avoid it now. It's only really useful to 1) kill noobs or 2) push enemies momentarily off a point.
For a tank she's way too squishy. She's the only tank I have zero fear fighting head on.
I think you can still surprise people with her ultimate. It's just not as simple as linearly boosting into the objective and activating it anymore. You can cook the timer on her ultimate by angling it over and preferably from a huge distance, and it just becomes a question of how much you understand the art of aiming the catapult. It's easy to react to a bomb you have five seconds to find some cover from, it's harder when you have a second to react to it dropping in and it blows up before/as soon as it even touches the ground.
Even arching it in I barely get any kills anymore. The only time I surprise anyone is when I self-destruct at 0 HP, since I'm most likely next to a group of enemies.

Yeah, she is, but I feel super squishy as a tank in this game for whatever reason. Like the only tank I feel survivable with is roadhog. Rein once the shield is down I just hope to god that my medic actually notices me. I still have trouble timing how to get in and out with zarya and winston. At least with D.Va I feel like I have a reasonable chance to escape, plus when you're escaping you're not exposing her massive critical hitbox.
But yeah, right now, with her big critical hitbox, really short damage fall off and her speed while shooting, something isn't gelling well and something's gotta give. I do pretty good with her but I can see why pro level would go double winston but not double D.va. I still play a better D.Va than winston though so, whatever.
It's better to do it on Assault maps with areas with tons of clearance like Volskaya where the enemy tends to be clustered on the point. The further you do it from the better. It's fun trying to aim through the little window on the hut in Lijiang too.

D.Va's fun to cause problems with, but I have to admit she's not very intuitive for me to use well.

Easiest way is to join the GAF Discord server. OP's post has the server info hidden. Queue it to reveal.

I'm noticing the further I'm leveling, the saltier players seem to get. Picking a character you're not as familiar with usually isn't well received, and complimenting the other team for a job well done is especially a no-no. Also a strange amount of Trump spam for a European server.
I don't tend to play online games, so it's possible this is par for the course, and I was just blissfully ignorant. Still enjoying the game though. When your team hits the zone, it scratches that Monster Hunter part of my brain.

Winston is squishier, imo
Lol seriously? my last lootbox had two legendaries and one epic. Couldn't believe my eyes.
I agree. I always see Winstons go down quick unless they ult.

Hm, dunno, outside of good Snipers and Tracer (and of course, turrets...), i don't have problems with keeping myself alive as Zenyatta. You can always try to retreat for a moment to let your health recharge.
I had a D.va perfectly launch her mech from the ground in front of the first opening door on Gibraltar over the bridge and onto the top right building and it was done so perfectly I couldn't do anything but stare at it and accept my fate. Never seen it used like that prior to that time.

Here's a video that shows how big head hit boxes are.

It's not just Hanzo who's arrow has huge hit markers, but he is the most noticeable since his arrows are projectiles and 1 shot players.

she has great damage output as long as you get up close.
The thing to note about D.Va while comparing her to others is that the Mech is expendable, you are squishy outside of it but have a powerful gun and a fast recharge time for another mech. No other character in the game gets a 2nd life.
Considering that, it doesn't matter if her mech can be killed easier than other tanks, cause when other tanks die...they respawn. She just gets out of it until the next mech (or dies if she is caught in the middle of many enemies, but it is fairly easy for her to escape still)
D.Va despite having most of her health made up of armour, is squishier due to her extremely large critical point right in the middle of her rather large frame, so even if you miss critical you still hit her. Unlike Winston and others whose critical point are their head.

He isn't.

I haven't played that long. I'm just level 56. My friend said it just popped up today.
I usually play Lucio or Zarya but tonight after work I decided I wanted to play someone different. I chose Mei on defense on Dorado. I had 3 golds (Eliminations, Obj Time, and Obj Kills) and we stalled the enemy team right at the 3rd checkpoint. With 2 mins left I used my ult right on the payload and only got one of the enemies and then icewalled when I heard 76 on the enemy team activate his ult. Apparently I blocked our Zarya's ult at the same time and when we eventually lost everyone was blaming me. I think everyone just hates Mei. It's not like I didn't do anything all game. At least this game allows you to block players as I used that to block the 3 teammates that blamed me for our loss. I mean clearly I was the problem...not the hanzo and widowmaker we had on the last leg of Dorado...or the Mercy that didn't use her Rez the entire match.
It's Mei's destiny. Nobody going to like you. Mostly because they are annoying as hell as enemy but also because there are just trolls as teammates who block your team on purpose.
Sure this was just unlocky, because you did a good thing blocking Soldier 76's ult, but they dont see that. They only see your wall blocking their own ult. So did I the other day.
But I guess it's just annoying because it's people like you who do it accidently with a good thought behind it or trolls do it with the sole purpose of trolling
