I love how Emongg is so open mind and have a more bigger perspective about how you play the game, instead of saying "Oh I waste my time playing and learning a hero", he is like "If you see the other side of the coin you can still improve, adapt and learn more." I love Emongg!

I want to say, I love these videos. Probably my favorite series from your channel as of late. I feel like they're over so quickly! I love to see some longer takes/clips on your other channel maybe? Idk just a thought, bc it's just great. It's great seeing that learning curve: - "This isn't that hard" - "Ah man this is tough... I have sooo much to learn." - "Ooo, I'm getting the hang of it. XYZ is working" Hearing your thoughts, seeing your frustration, and (esp in this video) seeing/hearing multiple perspectives from DVA players - I love it! Keep up the great work, my man. Luv u.

Playing D.va feels like pushing a triangle through a square hole a lot of the time lol, it MIGHT work out sometimes but you need to be unorthodox and creative to get any value at all. Love the dichotomy between the coaches too! Hawk excels in the nitty gritty, full maximization, and techs to get the most value while Emongg shows how to get in the other team's heads and get value from being as annoying as possible. Keep it up SVB, would love to see you lock the Legs and play Soldier next :)

D. Va was the first tank I played and I loved her style because she could get really aggressive and dive people to finish off kills, which reminded me a lot of Genji. Also getting a huge nuke was one of the best feelings in the game. Now though, if I play tank, I mainly do Zarya or mauga, just cause I feel like I can do so much more. Also one time I got a 5k nuke but disconnected halfway through the game and when the game ended they didn't give me play of the game ironically enough on circuit royal.

I didn't used to love d.va but she's my favorite dive tank with so much versatility and skil expression. Unfortunately even if your extremely good with her she suffers from a lot of what zarya and junkerqueen suffer from which is the skill required to make her work vs the skill too shut them down completely. She still is too me one of the most fun tanks and having such a high skill ceiling on a tank is amazing, you haven't lived until you've one shot combo'd an ana then 180 flicked to eat grav then obliterate a soldier on off angle all in the span of 2 booster cooldowns

Long time GM Dva main from Overwatch 1 here. I think the hero being decent at everything but not excelling at anything is perfect and we should be looking at designing more tanks like her as opposed to changing Dva to fit a better niche.. It means you really need to pick EXACTLY what you need to be doing at EXACTLY the right time. You need to analyse your comp with the enemies and tell every hero in the whole lobbies matchups. You need to know who's most vulnerable to the different heroes on their team and change your playstyle on the fly. You pretty much said yourself that being in the right place at the right time got you to GM and i don't think that's far off with this hero. I don't see why a hero that rewards good play and skill expression like that would need to be reworked, even if her design might feel a little dated. I'm confident that throughout all of OW2, Dva has been one of the best tanks in the game (at least in solo q) simply thanks to her consistency. If you know what you're doing you can play her with OR against pretty much any heroes, which isn't a luxury all the tanks can afford. Of course if they swap zarya, mei and brig you do basically just need to go fuck yourself and swap but that logic applies to any hero in the game. I think the reason people say she struggles in 5V5 is because they're too used to playing with a main tank and there's just a good bit of a learning curve to her new playstyle. I think that what makes her feel so bad at times is the state of supports. Certain heroes on that role just kinda make your job way nearly impossible because you need to dive them twice or even three times to kill them because their cooldowns are so busted. If you try to go in on their teammates they will probably dump all of that utility into the person you're trying to pursue. It can make even taking out a widow or a hanzo feel like a near impossibility when they just get gripped or suzu'd or lamped on every engage. By the time you've baited out the all their cooldowns they won't even be on cooldown anymore. To conclude i think Dva is a great hero both for and in the game. If the season 9 support nerfs are significant it wouldn't surprise me if more people started waking up to the strength of his hero at a high level (ranked wise) even if they don't buff her directly. (I spent more time typing this comment than i did actually watching the video what's wrong with me)

I feel like you could do a Reaper 7 day challenge. At first his playstyle is pretty one dimensional, but the climb gets exponentially harder with rank as he can be exploited more easily by counter picks and map geometry. There's a fair amount to consider when playing him, which means you kind of have to weigh up the merits of different playstyles mid-match. He has a fair amount of potential as he can be OWL-level meta for certain comps, and there's a couple of consistently high-rank Reaper players that might be able to help (Choiceisme/ChoiceOW is a good bet, he's a consistent ~top 100 EU Reaper player)

A bit saddened that the general consensus is that “she’s bad because everyone else is better”, a sentiment I vehemently disagree with. Every other tank may be better than dva in one or two aspects, but definitely not on all aspects. In that sense, dva is the most “well rounded” tank that can be called upon to do anything required. High ground? Check. Flanking/off angling/ generally drawing their attention? Check. Peeling for your team and being able to protect yourself? Check. Diving, killing and then immediately getting back to your supports for heals? Check. And in the few situations you need her to be the “tanky tank” and hold the objective? Check. Name me another tank that can do all the above better than dva. Facing counters? Well, that means you succeeded in getting 3-4 of the enemy players JUST to focus on countering you, and that leaves your dps and support to do whatever they want. I always take it as a compliment when the enemy switches to zarya, Mei, sym etc because 1) I know they know im a problem for them, and 2) I still can very easily play around them.

As someone who OTP Dva in OW1 to the tune of about 1500 hours, it has sucked trying to play her more since the move to OW2. It's like you said, you are either trying to be aggressive and make plays, but win one fight like that and out come the counters and now you can't play the game anymore. I still do love her for the obvious maps like Numbani, Gibraltor etc but it just sucks trying to play her on more linear maps. Which lead me to my second love JQ for those maps minus CR... I hate that stupid map 🙃, still in the end there are stil days where idc how much I'm getting counter picked into the ground, I just wanna play Dva. She was really the only tank I played in OW1, plus it helped I had a Winton duo partner so we paired well together. I do agree that she could stand to have a rework but I honestly wonder what that would even look like or if it's something the Devs would ever consider even. Seeing as she is one of the cash machines for them when it comes to cosmetics... I would know, I think I have like 90% of her skins in the entire game 🤣

Dva player since launch of overwatch. Dva is outdated and is too easily hard countered. You can still do well on her but like you said, it’s when the enemy teams allows you. She suffers heavily from damage nerfs from the past and doesn’t do anything particularly well compared to other options. She needs buffs or a small rework. Hopefully season 9 helps out but I doubt it.

The problem is that the dev team doesn't understand their own game. Dva has been outdated since the launch of the game, and as much as I still love my girl, she needs either buffs or a straight up rework so she can better fit in the environment. Her specialty was diving, but in the OW2 environment diving might as well be telling your team that they're gonna die. Without a good shield for the team or better damage spread she's just not gonna cut it more of the time.
