What do you guys think about tracer right now

As a tracer main who’s in diamond I feel like I’m not making anywhere near an impact,

the amount of healing is CRAZY ! And can’t seem to get picks but with someone like soldier it’s super easy , and I’m the sigma 1V1 I always lose 80 percent of the time because it takes sigma 2 hits to kill me ,

I never have had this experience of a lose rate that bad with any other hero and I just don’t feel like she’s AS good right now at all what do you guys think ?

She is a seldom seen character currently, I hope she becomes more effective as she is one of the main faces of overwatch and pretty fun.

Tracer main who has taken a break from her for the most part in comp. Since season 10, and Blizzard releasing a terribly overtuned Brig and Hanzo rework, Tracer took a back seat for me. Now, for DPS, I’ll usually pick either McCree or Soldier.

Unpopular Opinion!: I would probably bring her more in line with other heroes (or at least try to.)

5 run speed, down from 6.
Recall to original HP (higher OR LOWER, which would necessitate teamplay/healing)
8-10sec Recall, down from 12.
200HP.

In the Mei/Reaper/Hanzo Meta, Tracer will probably find life even harder with the Mei Right Clicks, Storm Arrow headshots and the higher 250hp DPS health pools. She’ll also lose some kill potential outside of oneclipping because of Immo Field, more cc (Sigma’s Rock) and the solo survivability of Mei and Reaper who seem popular on PTR (and now Live).

Another option might be to let her stop recalling early. At the moment, many good players can predict (or remember) where the Tracer will end up when she activates Recall. It’s just clever. But if Tracer had a way to come out of Recall early, she could be more unpredictable AT THE COST of escaping a greater distance AND reducing the chance she will Recall to a higher HP state (presuming Recall still favours higher HP).

I think Mei will scare Tracer off in the same way that Brig did. And that for the vast majority of players, Tracer will need some brave adjustments for her to fit in. As more and more heroes are release (presumably with more ******* CC) I think things will only get worse unless Tracer becomes tougher (200HP) and gets a slightly better Recall.

For me anyone above a skill 3900 tracer is hell to play against. I’m low platinum.

Tracer can one-clip any 200HP hero. If you get headshots you can one-clip an Orisa or Zarya. And if you can believe it she used to be MORE powerful. She does not require a buff.

True! Those few times i manage to stay alive in mh with her and the enemy is standing still or running straight at me and i manage to hold my hand steady enough to aim. Baibai back to spawn :sweat_smile:

She is incredibly hard to play with for someone like me who can’t aim for the love of my life. So no buffs needed, just learn to play her :+1:t3:

what she needs is hanzo nerfed. it is absurd how hanzos just spam arrows and one or 2 of them ends up in your head. tracer is suposed to counter him. Hanzo is not suposed to counter high movilily .

Here’s something weird, I’ll probably get an angry crowd with pitch forks at my house and tard and feathers for this but i wouldn’t mind if they gave Tracer 175hp.

Also Sigma does too much damage. His primary does as much as a S76 rocket…without CD
