FAQ

Which dive tanks are still strong in Season 12 despite the nerfs?
D.Va and Winston are the top dive tanks in Season 12. Despite D.Va's Defense Matrix nerf, her mobility and Micro Missiles make her excellent at diving backlines.

What makes Kiriko's Kit so versatile in the current meta?
Kiriko offers quick targeted healing with Healing Ofuda, debuff cleansing with Protection Suzu, and high mobility through Swift Step teleportation. Her Kitsune Rush ultimate boosts speed, attack rate, and cooldown reduction for allies, making it one of the most impactful ultimates in the game.

Yes, absolutely. The article notes that dive is dominating the meta, but you can make other characters work if you play them at a high level. The key is adapting your strategies and coordinating with your team to climb the competitive ladder.
