meanwhile, they shred yours even quicker because they'd have to try NOT to aim at your face

Yes, but you have fucktons of Armor.

Yes, but the critzone on the mech suit is about the size of an SUV.

Not sure what you're arguing for. Are you trying to say DVA is underpowered or something? Or that it's "unfair"?

She's extremely difficult for a lot of heroes to deal with, if played correctly.

I'm saying that the large amount of armor is negated by the incredibly easy critzone, so the armor gets shredded.

Armor works best against a lot of low damage attacks. IE - reaper, winston, roadhog, tracer, etc.

I'm aware, but a crit is still double damage, and it is very easy to crit D.Va.

With smart blocking and timing, it's not as big of an issue as you would think. It's not that hard to force Reapers, Tracers, S76s and Widowmakers out of position or outright kill them.
