What do I do when my mech is destroyed?
Playing as D.Va, my mech got destroyed with no progress towards getting a new one.
Since D.Va outside the mech has low health, no abilities, and a weak pistol attack, is it even worth trying to fight on foot? Is it ever better to just kill myself to get a new mech and, if so, when?
Best Answer
D.Va's pistol is pretty decent, so if you're good at getting kills with Mercy you should be able to get kills with D.Va mechless. Worth remembering that both D.Va and Mercy's pistols are fully automatic, you can just hold down the fire button.
The question you have to ask is which is better in any given situation, putting shots downrange to disrupt the opposition, or wasting ~10 seconds + the run back to respawn with more firepower.

She's not so bad by herself.
D'va does stand a chance against lower HP non Tank heroes. My Hanzo has been killed by a non mech D'va more than once. I wouldn't kill myself, handicapping my team and giving the enemy free ult charge. Instead hide behind your tanks and wait for your own ult to reach 100% and get your mehc back.
