Those are fighting words.
Add McCree, Soldier 76, Hanzo. D.Va is fun to play but also annoying to play because of how easily her mech can be taken down. And then you're pretty much useless.
Pistol mode wrecks everything
It's Blizzard laughing at their own balance

I mean it's ok but if you want to shoot people might as well just play mccree.
It does but it's not a viable option at high level comp. There's a reason why the good players say don't kill the mechless dva.

Like defense matrix is legitly very good, it's just that zarya keep cockblocking it.

Her critbox is huge, she has no range and that movement speed penalty while firing. Ult is easily blocked or avoided in most scenarios. Her counters are really popular. In Diamond+ play she's by far the least effective tank and I say this as someone who's like top 150-200 with her on Overbuff. She was my main but I don't even like to play her that much anymore especially with all the Zaryas and Meis around
I mostly play Tracer and Reaper now.Baron Doggystyle von Woof

As a main dps player dva is definitely the easiest to kill of all the tanks.
However good dva players are annoying as fuck.
I need to group up more with people who actually wanna win.

I am a good dps player but my healing is shit.
My Junkrat is boss (96% percentile).

Winston pushing him off with primal rage is the best.
I like to think I play a good D.Va (only in KOTH matches tho), so if she's underpowered I can't wait for her to get better! I think her pistol mode is really good. I really like the steadiness of her gun, she got a good ult for KOTH and DM can get pretty useful aswell.
I really love to boost through the enemy team with DM. Opens up a bit for the rest of the team.

I created a second account a few weeks ago to play comp with a friend who's new to the game ( i didn't want him tanking my score on my main account).
And holy crap....Comp is 100x more enjoyable when you don't give a crap about you SR.

Idk how you guys do it hitting these astronomical comp numbers. I think I've won maybe one comp today its been fucking brutal. I had an excellent round on offense, pulled through with gold medals then i switched to support second round...finished with match with gold elims still...just. I don't know man. I lost like 300 pts today

I have to ask how you managed to go this long without knowing something as basic as that.

Probably should have stuck with offense.
Of course but fighting 1v1 with a disadvantage will give me the upper hand by jumping around and headshotting. My dva pistole aim is way more accurate than my Mccree. Also works great for long range. I also almost never die because the ult fills up so fast with headshots. Love it. SR 2700 - 2950
Yeah I find them pretty weak. So many of them are just "everyone is this class archetype" and then limit you to two of each which is way too vanilla. Plus they really should give a loot crate or something for doing it, since the mode's idea seems so similar to the tavern brawls in hearthstone which give a free card pack.
they should give some incentive to play them
The worst thing is that they don't even seem to make new ones anymore. All last three I believe were all repeats.

This. They actually disincentivize it by giving you a penalty to XP gain.
Mystery Heroes is awesome and should be a dedicated game mode with incentives to play, because it makes people play heroes they wouldn't normally pick, in situations in which they normally wouldn't pick them.
Of course, you get the random double Bastion on KOTH for your team, but the whole thing is weightless and fun, so nobody gets pissed. It's something to chuckle about.

More bueno than losing SR. You did a solid by forcing the draw.

I'm still amazed they haven't implemented a free loot box for the your first win in each weeks brawl yet, it works a treat in hearthstone.
i know everyone bashes Bastion but i had a bad ass game on defense with him the other day, we had a couple tanks, 2 healers, me and some DPS i think, and i was in the corner just blasting everything that came close, with a healer keeping me going or boosting my attack.
Before i'd switched we were getting owned, he's legit good for defense.

He is very good in the right hands. Also helps if the enemy team does not have a Genji.
He can work only if your team helps you and the other team keeps trickling in.

That's exactly what i thought the very first time i played. The daily challenges would be an awesome addition as well. e.g. win 3 games with mercy / win 5 with any tank etc.
It would also give people more of an incentive to play support in quickplay.

Why? You didn't win the match, so why should you get SR? Be happy you didn't lose a 5v6.

I've noticed the fewer comp games I play in a row, the happier I am and the less my SR suffers. Over the last three days I've gone 4-1 because I only play one or two comps a night and then I'm done - and I'm less likely to get into an uncontrollable descent of pain and suffering.
If they did daily challenges like that, then you'd get things like 12 Mercy matches with everyone trying to get the reward at once. It'd be better if they just incentivized the brawl itself somehow. Aside from a game or two in really fun modes (like Arcade) I rarely ever touch the mode because the stats aren't kept and it feels like a waste of time with lower XP.

Nah, they can just do what Hearthstone did and give everybody personal dailies and subtly influence play in that way.
That'd be cool.
If you have less than 10% play time as a support, all your daily quests are for supports.

Personal dailies would work. That would actually be neat.

I'm pretty sure the challenges in hearthstone are different between all players for exactly that reason.
Edit: Should of probably read the reply's above

Imagine the Russian roulette meta
One teleporter will take you where you want to go. The other will kill you.
Choose wisely.

Or double the trolling. Both pointed to oblivion!
That doesn't really matter right? There would still be only one at spawn. So the team where the teleported is from knows which one is real.
But anyways, I think two portals won't help anyways. What I do to locate them is spot where a group of enemies is coming from.

You know how the best way to re-engage the enemy is to regroup? Symmetra's teleport encourages streaming onto the point. It's only good when a single player gets picked and can regroup. It's terrible when more than one or two players get picked off.
Basically everything about Symmetra's kit doesn't fit the way the game is played.
