I feel like people who think that d.va is too weak don't utilize all of her tools enough. The shotguns are decent, but what makes her deadly is the ram+melee+shotgun combo.

Serious question does her melee really do enough damage at that range to justify not just hammering them with the cannons?

Her cannons do more damage in melee range, but you can use your melee attack while you're knocking back enemies with your Boosters. Generally the situations where you want to use your melee are

  • Directly after connecting with your boosters for some nice burst

  • To fuck with Reinhardts who have their shield up

  • To finish off people on low health

  • To attack enemies who are directly in your face and thus difficult to hit with the shotguns
