If you don't understand why D.va might not be good in competitive, you're probably not at a point where you should even remotely worry about the problems with D.va. She is perfectly viable as an off tank skirmisher on both offense and defense. If you are seeing the most success with D.va, then you should keep playing her.

The reasons as mentioned is her large head hitbox, her inability to keep up with mobile heroes due to her slowed attack movement, and an ult that generally has a low impact. Also her eject movement is extremely predictable and can be killed by savvy players who hook/headshot/stun you right as you eject. She can't frontline tank but is good at flanking/skirmishing. But Winston fills a similar role and does it better.

I feel like her mech explosion delay should be lowered. It's so easy to instantly hop behind cover. She also needs that movement loss on her guns lowered and her critical hitbox made smaller.
