Close loss game (the one i really need reviewed) Map: Circuit Royal
End: 2-3 L
Game where I carried ig (the not so important one) Map: Watchpoint: Gibraltar Code: RYX857 End: 3-0 W Username: Mochiix
This was a pretty close game and I've been stuck in bronze for the past 2 seasons and i just wanna get to silver. I've tried watching videos and using the advice and it helped a bit but i still lose quite a lot (rn for this season i have 18 W - 17 L) idk what to do/improve on atp and i need help. (But at least I've also been able to carry games lately like on the Watchpoint: Gibraltar one so i guess I improved a little)
I wanna learn how to mostly improve on D.va since I love playing her and I wanna one trick her to diamond (or masters if i ever get that good ) someday. And I'm gonna start out with saying i think one of my issues is playing a lil to agressive or diving in too much maybe idk and this is why i would really appreciate some advice/feedback on how to improve/rank up!

i think it's really interesting that you think you play too aggressive and dive too much

#

because in both games, i never saw you dive at all

#

both games you play d.va like she's a brawl tank

#

you stand in front of the enemy team and mash defense matrix every time it's the tiniest bit charged (i rarely saw your defense matrix meter go past a quarter full)

#

what i want to see from you is you playing d.va the way she's meant to be played, in short but impactful bursts

#

she's not built for these long drawn-out engagements that you enjoy taking

#

it's okay to take a second to hide behind cover and let your matrix charge while you decide on who to dive next

#

standing in front of the enemy team is a waste of everyone's resources as they keep you alive but it's especially a waste of your own resources

#

i think you would see drastic improvements if every few seconds you took a breath and looked at who on the enemy team is feasibly killable and in your range instead of being glued to the enemy tank 24/7

#

i mean for example, here you can very clearly see that brig is directly in front of you, VERY separated from her team and very killable

#

but you ignore her to fly towards sigma and brawl with him instead

#

this is a running theme throughout both of those replays

#

what's next for you is working on absorbing all the information in front of you as opposed to tunnelvisioning on whoever you happen to see first

#

also stop standing on the payload and doing nothing in between fights?

#

downtime doesn't exist in overwatch

#

time between fights can always be used to resposition and get ready for the next fight

#

potentially even prevent the next fight too

#

im saying the way you play d.va is that you stand in front of the tank drawing out long fights with absolutely no impact

#

you prolong the fight but you're not doing anything by just mashing matrix and standing there

#

what would be more impactful would be if you took high ground to set up a dive and executed a dive on an out of position squishy by using your cooldowns quickly and effectively

#

a lot of the time you leave it up to the rest of your team to do something because you're just so preoccupied with doing nothing

#

alr thx! ill prob just add them to this thread or if u prefer me to dm u i'll just do that too

#

so basically i've been prolonging fights and playing d.va wrong the entire time .-.

#

well

#

yeah 😍

#

but if it makes you feel any better that's just how every bronze tank is

#

the first and easiest step to quick improvement is recognizing how you character should ACTUALLY play

#

good dvas are the ones who are constantly flying around and keeping tabs on every single enemy so they know exactly where to be at any given moment

#

matrix too important to just toss it out for no reason

#

hopefully i can be that soon :D

#

question- how do u excatly execute a dva dive correctly?

#

and do u have any specific gameplay i can look at?

#

biggest mistake as dva you’re making is not buying her funny toxic voicelines and spamming “Wow, this is easy mode!” every time you kill someone

#

idk if i'd be able to put it into words well enough but a good dive should be fast, not too committal (unless it's really worth it), and be a heavy nuisance for the enemy team to take care of

#

in all honestly playing dive is actually more about the threat of making a dive and forcing the enemy to react to the threat instead of actually making a dive

#

i don't have any specific videos to show you but people like emongg and spilo so like

#

look at who he's attacking and why

#

notice how in the first fight he does nothing to the enemy tank until they're the last person left alive

#

he's pushing the enemy out of position, he's making mercy's life a nightmare, etc

#

when he sees a squishy out of position he immediately snaps to take advantage of that and kill them

#

ngl i have no idea whats in this video but it's spilo so there's probably something to be gleaned from it
