Summary
A recentOverwatch 2clip has gone viral, showcasing a D.Va player scoring a quad kill with their Self-Destruct ultimate. However, upon closer inspection, the D.Va player seems to have failed successfully, perpetuating one of the most amusing trends found inOverwatch 2.
Thanks to D.Va’s set of skills, a wide assortment of amusing interactions can happen organically when one or two D.Va players are in any given lobby. Take this recent clip as an example, which showedtwo D.Va players simultaneously scoring a team killwith their Self-Destruct ultimate. With so many factors in play during a typicalOverwatch 2match, sometimes the pandemonium can cause entire times to simultaneously forget some of D.Va’s core mechanics.

That’s exactly what happened in a clip shared by Reddit user Typical_Plane4874 on theOverwatchsubreddit from a competitive match on Busan. At first glance, the D.Va appeared to charge past the enemy Sigma’s Barrier to activate their Self-Destruct ultimate and successfully scored a quad-kill. However, a different angle shows that the D.Va missed their ultimate entirely. As it turns out, the D.Va was able to land a quad kill thanks to the Call Mech skill, which automatically triggers following the Self-Destruct skill.
Right after the D.Va threw out the Self-Destruct skill, they ran to low ground, with the entire enemy team rushing the mechless D.Va. On paper, the enemy team had a decent strategy, as D.Va is highly vulnerable when outside of her mech. Unfortunately, they were all grouped up together when they rushed the D.Va, causing them to get crushed by D.Va’s Call Mech skill. A near-identical play occurred in 2022, that saw aD.Va player landing a triple killwith the Call Mech skill as well.
Humorously, some commenters pointed out that the quad kill worked out similarly to how Doomfist’s Meteor Strike ultimate normally functions, with one commenter adding, “except it actually got kills.” Given the recent nerfs to Doomfist and buffs to D.Va in October’s set ofbalance changes toOverwatch 2, these jokes may be rooted in actual player experience.
SinceOverwatch’s initial launch in 2016, D.Va has maintained a consistent spot among the roster’s most popular heroes. With her striking character design and sneakily complex kit,viral D.Va gameplay clipsare also likely to continue to be a fixture within the largerOverwatch 2community.
