wowie tuff guy alpha male dickslinger material here.
I was fucking around with D.VA on the range and she’s pretty fun to use. Though I’ve honestly not really seen her perform too well in any of the games i’ve played. Whenever she’s achieved a play of the game it’s always been that self destruct shit. Her damage is fucking low. No reload yes but damn is it weak. I feel like she would be good on strict offense if her team backed her up, like a good spray damage character that can deflect shots on reaction.
She’s pretty good at picking specific targets off, like if you see a sniper, a Pharrah, a healer who isn’t Lucio (does that guy even have a death animation?), a Bastion or turret you can just power up your shield and fly on over to smack the shit out of them with minimal risk.
She can also do a fair amount of disruption with the pushback on her charge and out of her robot she’s pretty good at long range harassment and taking squishies out if you can reliably aim for the head.
Her ultimate feels kind of hit and miss, a lot of objectives tend to have easy cover to get to to avoid it for anyone with their wits about them.
She can also sort of pretend to be a tank with her shield but it feels like a last resort to buy time whilst you wait for your team to hurry up and get back to the action after respawning, she’s no Reindhart.
The thing starting to bother me is that her a guns spread like a shotgun, but are fairly worthless up close. They do good damage yes, but it’s extremely easy to miss with them almost like parts of the spread don’t count.
In also really curious as to how play of the game is factored. I lost a game on lijiang tower last night. The other team won because a junkrat got a quad kill with with riptire and cleared the capture point. And for some reason I got play of the game on the losing team with a Widowmaker triple kill.
Can’t really decide if I wanna buy this game or not. Seems really “twitchy” to me and that isn’t my style. Hype is real though, so I signed up for gamefly just to try this game.
Oh and no ADS? I just can’t see myself enjoying a shooter without this mechanic… gotta give it a shot though before I write it off.
