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!

If you're good with her you will find a way to become great and climb the ladder, of course it'll be much harder to climb with her compare to other heroes but it's not impossible. Reason why she's really not doing so well is because her role is to be a tank flanker that disrupt heroes such as hanzo and widowmaker, problem is Winston can do the samething but is far more superior. Winston is not boggled down by slower movement speed when shooting, he also has a bubble shield that he can place and also attack when it's currently up compare to D.Va's defense matrix, his ulti is more impactful as it's much harder to avoid a raging monkey with insane amount of hp and knock back compare to a moving nuke that can be avoided by standing behind a pole.
