So you agree that she has 650 health and that she doesn't disappear into the void when her 500 mech health is depleted, which is incidentally what other characters who run out of health tend to do.

I think that there is a pretty notable distinction in the threat and skillset of a 500 HP mech which can fly, block projectiles and self-destruct and a 150 HP person with no abilities. Every other character in the game has the same skillset whether they're on max HP or 1 HP. You can't add the 500 HP apple and 150 HP orange and pretend you have 650.

D.Va's shield is great stuff if you remember about it, and with just a couple seconds knocked off the 10 second cooldown for it she'd probably fill a tank role even without hitbox changes.

For reference I did just play D.Va on offense on Route 66 and I did okay with her. I took out a Widow, Symmetra + Turrets and a Zen at the start of the match. A few times I was knocked out of the mech, but I was much less effective than in it, even though I did kill a Widow, a distracted Tracer and a couple Tobjorn turrets on foot. Being in the mech was a lot more useful. I took out a Symmetra nest guarding a teleporter (although I needed two attempts to finish it), and I actually helped the team reach the last checkpoint while in overtime, and from there we pushed to victory.

I really hope they take another look at some of the achievements because they seem pretty clearly designed for different builds/balances than what we're currently playing with.

Zenyatta has one where he has to rapidly apply Discord to kill 4 people in six seconds. Does the rate of fire even allow that if you're like almost point blank with 4 people and Pharah is doing all the damage with her ult or something

Meanwhile one of Mercy's achievements is almost literally "Play Mercy for a bit."

I don't get all these D.Va defenders when everyone else is trying to get her buffed.
Normally it's nerds trying to defend an OP character because they're good with them.

If D.Va is your primary then you should be happy everyone is calling for buffs. Because if you think you're good at her now then imagine what will happen when she's actually deemed to be useful.


On the flipside. Junkrat is amazing across the board, once you've adapted to his projectile speed, you can pretty much force the enemy team to constantly displace. Junkrat's grenades don't explode until after they come into contact with something, so on open maps you can carbomb jump out of spawn and "artillery-lob grenades" into the capturepoint/enemy side.

Yeah Junkrat often has me asking myself: "He's just busted right? I'm okay at Overwatch but I'm not this good. Junkrat is just insane, right?"

He'll sometimes growl out, "I need my space," if you kill someone who's been hugging you for a few seconds. Reaper's response when he kills either Junkrat or Roadhog ("You can't be serious.") in this great deadpan is also really okay.

Symmetra's games are super binary. Either you're carwashing everyone and microwaving idiots and teleporting legions or your team went with 4 Idiot Stupid Gimmick No Damage Assholes and you've basically committed to going 5 on 6 because you will NEVER get up a turret farm or teleport.

The worst part is Symmetra needs to get moving ASAP so if people are picking bad during the countdown, you're already out there proper hosed.

Also don't play brawl with Symmetra, nothing about it really helps her.

Both Roadhog and Junkrat have lines complimenting the other on a kill-streak, but both of them boil down to "oh, you are doing something useful for once".

SUCK THE SHIT STRAIGHT OUT OF MY OWN ASSHOLE.

BUY IT.
Zenyatta should be redesigned. The original premise was, here's this support that can put a HoT on a teammate then go focus on offense, if he wants to. But it turned out that's too powerful in a game with Genji and Tracer.

You could fix his winrate by adjusting his HP/damage, and I assume they will, but the LoS rule for orbs kinda gelds his character concept entirely.

Except she does actually have 650 HP. 500 in the mech, 150 on foot. To kill D.Va you have to do at least 650 points of damage. If you do not do this, she will not die. Some arbitrary definition of what constitutes "alive" is not going to change that basic mathematical fact. She does not respawn until 650 health has been taken from her, often much more because her mech recall ability refills its health.
