Overwatch 2 question from a noob: how much time to D.Va?

[ComputerSpaceFan]

I never bought original Overwatch but I was always interested. Now that Overwatch 2 is free I'm planning on trying it out.

 

While I wait for the servers to get fixed and before I give out my phone number just to connect to Battle.net I just have a simple question:

 

If all I want to do is play D.Va how long would it take me to grind in the free model? Does a game start and she might or might not be selectable from the heroes shown but someone else might choose her before I can? Do I need to earn a Battle Pass before I have her in my roster?

 

I'm coming at this only knowing the Street Fighter model where I can choose Chun-li every time and I'd like the same with D.Va.

I'm not interested in any other Overwatch heroes.

 

Short version: how long do I have to grind in the free version of Overwatch 2 till I can play as D.Va?

Did a quick search. Looks like you can unlock her by playing 2 unranked, matchmaking matches. 

 

For anybody else curious, I've attached a full list I found on an article. You can get everybody by playing 150 matches.

• 1 Game – Genji
• 2 Games – D.Va
• 3 Games – Cassidy
• 4 Games – Ana
• 9 Games – Hanzo
• 12 Games – Junkrat
• 15 Games – Roadhog
• 20 Games – Symmetra
• 25 Games – Zenyatta
• 30 Games – Bastion
• 40 Games – Sigma

• 70 Games – Mei
