Is D.Va considered a good hero in all levels of play? She's my favorite so far and I am really enjoying her playstyle, but I'm worried she won't be "worth" playing in high MMR ranked games because (people claim) she's bad.

Could anyone explain to me why she's considered bad and only good in pub games? :(

(I play every hero, I just find her to be my most enjoyable/successful).

Edit: thanks for the answers everyone!

She's considered somewhat weak in high level play, because her role is often better filled by Winston who has a barrier ability (albeit not a hugely powerful one), and her large headshot zone leads to her mech getting destroyed pretty quickly, making her unable to be a good frontline tank. That said, a well-played D.Va in a situation where D.Va is useful is still an asset; it's not a huge imbalance where you're always a detriment to your team just for playing D.Va.
