Tracer recall bug?

I played a lot of hero gauntlet mode in the last week and sometimes when i use tracer’s recall, it doesnt restore any health.
I get a headshot, go down to 30 from 150, press E, and i’m still on 30 hp, is this a bug or a feature i didnt know about?

sounds like a new patch designed to bring tracer into line with the other DPS and knock her off her irritating perch

also sounds like the dev’s “forgot” to add it to the patch notes to prevent the deafening screeching from all the tracer mains and smurfs that would plague them for the next decade for daring to even think about approaching the task of “balancing” tracer

keep up the good work jeff

P.S genji needs a few bugs “cough” nerfs “cough” x-D

If she doesn’t recall her health, rhen what’s the point for her recall ability?

And if she can’t recall anymore then she needs more health.

to disorientate the enemy?.. pretty difficult to keep tabs on tracers as it is with her zipping about

ok, but either 1 reduce her damage/ increase her falloff so she cant outrange people anymore (after all she is supposed to be closerange but out damages a bastion from a map away…) ← exaggerated before you fangirl over tracer about it, but it still happens

or 2. increase the size of her hitbox overall to make it easier to hit her… currently its next to impossible, unless you’re a shotgun at close range, and even then its difficult

This is not a balance change, It’s a bug or extreme latency.
Tracer is by NO means a top tier DPS in the current scene.

You want to know why?

G to the O to the A to the T to the S

Oh yeah, and widow/hanzo are literally 10x better than tracer damage wise

outside of top teir and pro league this isn’t a thing in 90% of games so your point is moot

I agree, and they should also be nerfed, doesn’t change the fact tracer is annoying and difficult to deal with outside of the top teir and pro league

this isn’t an either/or situation… this is an and/and situation flankers tracer and genji, and widowmaker and hanzo, are all problematic DPS that are so busted they put all other DPS to shame

if widow and hanzo weren’t so over the top busted all the widow and hanzo players would be playing tracer and genji, other than that the other dps don’t get a look in because of these 4

there is an easy way to tell if something is busted or not, and that is how often it is played, because people aren’t stupid, they figure out the path of least resistance, or (which heros are most effective against everything) so they don’t need to change heros or play styles, because it makes it easier

so perfect balance looks like this “ahem” all heros played all at equal rates, because no 1 hero can cut it in every situation

This definitely isn’t a planned change. Its a bug. I haven’t had this happen to me though.

Yeah it’s probably not a thing in gold.

you’re right its not, and since the majority of the player base is below diamond it stands to reason that goats is not applicable, and hence tracer and genji are problematic

lol…isnt recall suppose to bring you back 3 sec…like if you are 5 hp and recall…you will still be 5 hp…its not a healing ability

No that’s not how it works. Recall brings your health back to the highest point it was in the last 3 seconds. You can be at 30 hp for 10 seconds, then pick up health pack and immediately recall back to a healed state.
And to the people still complaining about Tracer. She is below average right now on the dps pick heroes.
