Tip: Play during weekdays when kids are at school. You'll have  a MUCH BETTER TIME. Too many stuff kids play at night and on weekends.

and usually on the weekdays I win some lose some

EDIT: hey nymph if you could add me to the op that'd be cool

My two biggest issues with Dva so far have been fighting Zaryas and fighting Reinhardts.

anyone have any tips on how to deal with them better?

You don't.

fly away

ironically I usually tend to bodycheck reinhardts just to juggle their shield around so their team is exposed.

You don't.

Basically this. As D.Va she does fantastic shield damage, you'd typically want to fight alongside your team if the enemy has a Reinhardt as it doesn't take long to break their shields with D.Va's spread being a non factor as well as having infinite ammo. Zarya is one of D.Va's counters however, you should be playing around her and avoiding engaging her unless with your team and if she continues to be an issue, switching heroes would be the optimal solution.

This is technically true due to the size of the shield, but spread is only half the equation. Each individual pellet also does less damage as distance increases, starting at 3 damage at up to 10 meters, falling off to 0.5 damage at 30 meters.

At >30 meters, a shot from D. Va, if all pellets hit, does a whopping 4 damage.

The best heroes to break shields are imo Bastion or Junkrat. Or just grab a flanker (such as D. Va) and get behind the shield.

Didn't think I needed to specify considering how obvious that was lol. If D.Va is with your team facing a rein you usually wont be far away from it (as in usually reaper distance) and you can break that shield easily.

yeah my main issue is most of my teammates cant deal with zarya either.

reaper counters her well, right?

reaper counters any tank well tbh

maybe winston since he has a decent amount of health and can keep zarya's focus away from her teammates and even launch her away (especially with ult)
can't confirm but i know orbs of harmony/discord can't go through winston's barrier, so it could be the same with zarya's shields
also winston wont deal any huge chunks of damage suddenly so if zarya springs a shield up it won't really matter

winston's usually just better against snipers though

Zarya's one of the finest Reinhardt Shield busters there is
