It's a toggle in the gameplay options

Capture Point A in Hollywood is the worst. Have been I'm three games tonight where we were unable to take it.

Yep. Your team shouldn't be allowing him to hit so straightforward if that's the case. Also, cover and heal?
Yep that's the worst part in the worst map

I don't play first person shooters at all really but I really want to get in to this game. I'm struggling with the very basics though.
Last couple of matches I died and I didn't even know I was getting shot at. I think I'm just going to play against A.I. until I at least know what I'm doing.

Fixed it for you. His damage is fine, just need to remove the derp factor of getting headshots without aiming.

You can still play and enjoy him now and later, he ain't getting nerfed. Most of my games have really bad Hanzo's, it's almost like their arrows aren't hitting as easy as people are trying to make it out to be.

I'd much rather have people with D.va mains than Hanzo/Widowmaker. In pub matches a decent D.va is so nice to have on attack and does a good job at flanking and breaking up turtles. Lately I find myself playing a mixture of D.va / Junkrat and either Mercy or Lucio, role-wise. I'd love to play Symmetra more but it's rarely an opportunity afforded to me as I don't like using her without an additional support.
I actually don't terribly like a lot of the offense characters but I will play Pharah if they don't have a lot to punish me with,

Team comp-wise the only thing I dislike is the fact that if you don't have Reinhardt and Mercy/Lucio as attackers it's super difficult to win. Blizzard really ought to provide some alternatives.
//edit: well, not the ONLY thing, there's the fact that McCree invalidates basically the entire attacker category save Genji.

2 McCrees or Tracers that stick by each other, just when you take one out, the second one pops out of nowhere and wipes floor to the highest noon.
Switching to Zarya does work on them

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
I love taking out Zens as Widowmaker. >;^)

I use D.Va as a disruptor. I get up in there with my dash, knocking enemies around and getting them off their guard. I do this when i know teammates are right behind me to help me out with picking them off.
Flying up and knocking Widows and Hanzos off of their perch wherever they may be. D.Va murders Widowmaker. Hanzo can be trickier.
One thing i dont like is her ultimate. Really, unless the other team is just really bad, you are not going to get kills with it. It takes a very long time to explode, and triggering it early while dashing doesn't help because they see it coming from a mile away. Stand behind a street light pole and you are good.
I agree. Hanzo aiming is cheap.

These guys picking their """mains""" are the worst, every single match they pick the same character and contribute nothing because they're too busy getting their asses kicked, then complain in chat and I'm just like
It's always D.Va too, something about her just makes people refuse to switch no matter how terrible they're doing.
Played a game with my buddies last night. Defending on Route 66, with two randoms. They both go D.Va, with matching legendary skins (B.Va and Junebug). Cute, but completely ineffective at actually holding any points.
D.Va is my favorite character and the one I have the most time played with, but she's viable in less than half of the situations I find myself in. Even on maps where she's good I end up switching characters at some point (with the exception of attacking on Route 66; it's my favorite scenario to play because D.Va fucks up all the shit).

Yeah I had to learn other characters because D.Va doesn't always work for me.

There's a reason people are bitching about the microtransaction system in this game.
You know when you have a character you're just like...eh okay with but then you come into that one game where suddenly you're playing as that character and you just DECIMATE the other team as that character? I just had one of those moments and...I don't think I can get it any better than this.
I tried to capture it best I can but I don't think it does it justice.
How do most people capture their PotGs on computer?

He's wearing skates and one of his skills is wall jumping. He's designed to hop around.
Also you might have been facing me because I totally do that. I'm always striving for that objective. I don't just jump around, I also sonic blast the opposition away from the payload. I'm trying to keep them busy till the rest of the team hopefully mows them down. If I'm.pushing the payload I maybe buy us a few more feet with each sonic blast.
That second paragraph is what I'm worried about. People might think that a "terrible" D.Va is just running off on her own instead of taking damage for the team up front.
...When in actuality, she's out there pestering sniper nests, causing distractions, or just pushing to contest a point asap.
I'm guilty of armchair coaching as well, but I'm starting to think that we should all just chill out until we're playing in ranked. There's nothing at stake here apart from win/loss ratio and a few 100 extra EXP. All those D.Vas and Widowmakers (and [character]s) might be terrible, but they also may well be oblivious, and therefore are probably enjoying the game a lot more!
Once ranked rolls around, then it's safe to assume you're playing with people who know what they're doing (and even then, that's a bold assumption on the internet...)

That's the thing, I do fairly well with D.va. She's my most played next to symmetra and my 2nd most effective hero after symmetra, where given my skill level I'm fairly ok with having a W/L ratio approaching 60%, but I kinda feel like she's situational? Problem is that I've been playing other heroes that I feel might fit the situation more but then end up losing because I'm not as good with them.
Just wish that they would put her in the assault class so I don't feel the need to tank with her, because then no one else picks an actual tank.
D.Vas good at later points on 66 but that first point on defence is just pain for her. She's great zipping around the town and the final point though. hate fighting D.Vas. Never want to hook her before I see her E.
Proof that people will bitch about anything.
It's random

Do you guys think D.Va and Symmetra are both mislablled Defence characters?
Staying mobile is how Lucio plays. Might as well tell a Tracer to never blink.

People are continuously goofy about comp and map synergy. I think the most irritated I get is when we go on defense and no one wants to play any of the incredible defense cast, just all offense and no one can aim. Often the case we have no tank or support so I have to heal an entire squad of offensive characters on defense. I mean that's at least somewhat rare but it happens and it makes me wanna die when it does.
It's gonna make ranked, where people need to be flexible, real cute. I imagine it working out just like a MOBA. You need X or Y but you wind up with trolls where half the team will only play one thing regardless of queueing for ranked.
For some reason, the worst players in my experience are always a sniper, Genji or lately: Mccree. The amount of really dumb Deadeye's is sad, no flank, no height or cover, just walk right at them and die while acquiring targets.
Zarya is so terribly underused. She's a little difficult to understand out of the gate compared to Reinhardt or Roadhog but she's really good IMO.

Stay in the front line and pop those shields (when under fire) to get your damage up.
I also tend to use the L2 (grenade lob) way more then the beam unless you really need to focus fire.
Good luck, she is a great tank when you know how to use her properly.
Honestly I get annoyed at just the opposite. If I see a D.Va in a game as the only tank I'll typically switch myself to Reinhardt in hopes that they'll go off to do something else.
That's literally the only important thing in this game and in life! How dare you?!
As somebody who plays a bunch of D.Va, I think people who say D.Va is not meant to jump on the objective and take damage are actually playing D.Va wrong. You have 500 health of which 400 is armor, an ability that neutralizes an infinite amount of damage while it's active (the only ability in the game that does so), and a literal extra life. You're excellent at facetanking and you should definitely be doing it. That doesn't mean you shouldn't use your mobility advantage and compensate for your speed disadvantage, because you clearly should, but it is actually your job to, say, jump on a Torb turret and soak it up while killing it. You should be getting on the point and hitting E.
as a rule i dont try to tell other people how to play shit i don't know how to play, that's more your problem then mine.
so what? Blizzards being the champions of balance that they are? i've been playing blizzard games all my life, they're usually wrong.
If this game turns into nothing but counterpicking counterpicks at a high level then its going to be dead before it ever leaves the crib. Laugh all you want but its true.
People say it's 20 seconds and I welcome it.

To be fair, Winston isn't a great main tank. And depending on the map he might be rather ineffective if he's the only tank on the team. Like D.Va, he's a harasser and breaker of ranks.
Still my favorite character, though.
They should introduce something similar to Diablo's loot system, which guarantees legendaries after a specific period of time. Humans don't deal well with true randomness.
I only play Winston on KOTH; in that situation he's the best character imo - double Winston alll dayy

It is but its also supposed to be heavily tilted in the defenses favor. The map progressively goes to attacker favor the further you get in.
