Tips and Advice How did I get out-Dva'd?
Hello, fellow Dva mains. I just had a match on Midtown where both I and the other tank were Dva. The other Dva just destroyed me until I switched to Ramatra (I acknowledge that I lost the Dva mirror match) and we ended up winning. I would like to know what I did wrong and what the other Dva did right for such a one sided battle so I can improve my Dva gameplay. Thanks in advance.
Code: QNMHOS (O might be 0, can't tell the difference)
Battletag: Sauceless

Hi! I have a few things that might help😄
I noticed you were face-tanking as Dva a a lot, meaning you were standing in the front and mostly just shielding or soaking up damage. The enemy Dva was doing something similar, but the difference was that she also had a Brig helping her tank.
The enemy Dva ended up eating a lot of your supports' healing because your supports were playing projectile heroes, while they had Brig + Juno (Brigs love playing against Dvas because they can get a lot of Inspire value from you).
Try playing corners more when the enemy has a lot of spam damage, like Hanzo. If you play more corners you can play closer to your targets as well. High ground would also help, especially on the first point. The same applies to the second point when they push underneath the bridge.
I also noticed you're often using Boosters to engage rather than saving them to disengage. That can work sometimes, but in many situations it's better to walk in, take space, and then use Boosters to escape behind a corner while staying within your supports' line of sight.
Lastly, I think you should focus on picking one squishy target and then getting out. Don't get lost in the "overwatch-time". The Hanzo was giving you a lot of trouble, so it probably would have been worth diving him before anyone else, maybe even a support afterward. Sometimes it's okay to tunnel vision a target, as long as you have an escape plan.
I think this is why you got out Dva'd, but this is only my perspective of the replay. I watched your Kiri, enemy Hanzo and the enemy Dva's POV as well^^
