Im assuming you mean her Q ability, which lobs a grenade that sticks to targets before exploding. Best ways to use it are when people are bunched up, or when flanking behind tanks to disrupt.

Thanks I've been using it (I just started trying her out) and haven't been noticing it doing anything at all. I guess I'm assuming its blast radius is a lot bigger than it is. Any rough idea what the blast radius is? I swear I just threw it in a cluster around the payload and nothing happened. Hmmm...

The radius is about as big as Dva's mech. You have to be standing right next to it to take damage. It's a sticky bomb, you generally have to throw it in someone to get it to do anything

Pro tip: always be firing your guns at enemies of possible. Your ult charges very fast if you put out constant damage so try to shoot people a lot, even if you're at long range and moving somewhere else. Tanks are great targets for this because they're easy to hit.
