I'm so excited for Season 4
I just recently came back to OW after like 3 years of not playing, and while I adore the newer heroes like Anran and Shion, I was a D.Va main in OW1 and she will always be my #1!
Having caught up on all the lore and what's currently happening in the story, I'm so excited for D.Mon to drop bc it means that D.Va will likely be the main focus for the season's story.
I came back to Vendetta being the main focus of the story and I can't remember Blizzard putting that much effort into a new hero launch since OW1. I didn't care much for Sierra's story, but I was pleasantly surprised that they continued the story in Season 2.
With how much Blizzard cooked with Shion and Mizuki's interactions and their relationship as a whole, I can't wait to see what they do with D.Va and D.Mon! Sure, D.Va is still one of the most popular OW characters and she's never not in the spotlight, but it's exciting to imagine her in a prominent story role that goes beyond, "She fought here with the new Overwatch." When you compare how many characters directly relate to each other story wise to how many D.Va has, it's actually a little surprising considering how popular she is.
Ramattra and Zen have their amazingly written relationship about combatting existential philosophies. Cass and Ashe have their shared history. Season 3 links together FIVE characters in the same conflict in Shion, Mizuki, Kiriko, Hanzo, and Genji. D.Va has nobody else from MEKA or even from South Korea. Like I said earlier, her story relevance and relationships to other characters is all within the context of Overwatch and not specifically her story.
Ever since her animated short, I've been so interested in her character more than I already was bc it showed that she had depth beneath the gamer quips. She genuinely has such a big heart and cares for her team and country. I'd love to see a story that shows more of that side of her.
Maybe Blizzard has even seen the crack ship of D.Va and Ramattra and will have him play a role in the story since he hasn't done anything major since before Vendetta entered the picture. Maybe even a story where D.Va, D.Mon, and Ramattra tentatively team up as Vendetta's war reaches Asia. It's known that Ramattra doesn't like Talon, and that he likes it even less with Vendatta at the helm. Maybe I'm just delusional lol.
Anyway, I just want to see more of Hana Song in the story that has rapidly turned into a genuinely intriguing experience!
