Dafran Cant Dome Strafing Tracer

So i cant tell whether or not the Tracer is using the op keyboard but it doesnt really matter, as normal strafing as Tracer is actually quite op.

And along with her bullet size making it impossible to miss, Tracer becomes impossible to kill for low ranks like me.

Another thing that modern tracers do is that while they are blinking around you they never truly commit, as soon as you turn your mouse to face them the lower skilled tracers will blink away as the larger bullets now mean they get guaranteed damage unlike before where they had to hard commit to land their damage.

Thats not really a development of tracers skill ceiling, but a exploit that the developers put in.

They are about to nerf her (along with other mobility heroes). Mostly because of stuff like this.

It doesn’t matter which keyboard you use. Human reaction time is ~200ms, you can’t react to change in direction faster than that. (But controller aimbot/assist can. :grimacing:) You just have to shoot when target is more predictable, instead of vibrating and doing break dancing moves.

This should realistically be helping you as much as them.

tracers damage comes out like a wave of rain, cassidys damage for example is pinpoint and singular.

Tracer has problematic hitboxes and I’ve insisted on that since 2016. She is, literally, 10x harder to hit than any other characters or flankers.

No one has such an overpowered animation on strafing and a generally tiny hitbox like hers.

Tracer is easier to hit than Ana. Tracer’s head is kept pretty much in the middle. Ana can swing smaller head hitbox around.

Speaking from experience. Tracking multiple headshots on Tracer as S76 has always been easier for me than critting Ana multiple times. Tracer’s head is more steady.

Is the Tracer doing some kind of no blinks challenge

If we’re talking about that first clip, nothing that tracer is doing required a special keyboard to do.

Also Dafran is human. Sometimes you get unlucky and miss shots.

Good movement with Tracer is WAY harder to master than tracking well.

THANK YOU. FINALLY SOMEONE ACKNOWLEDGES THIS.

Especially because Tracer movement even without Blinks is specific to the hero. The only other hero you can somewhat transfer movement skill from is Genji.

I don’t know if they are anymore. Someone pointed out that in the Juno video where she had 225, Tracer still had 175.

Tracer’s current problem is the extra HP. The hurtbox is bad enough on it’s own, but the HP buff has edged her out of multiple key death breakpoints from certain characters. There are like 3 things total in the game that can one tap a tracer now.

My go to was always mei or ashe to deal with her because you were actually rewarded for hitting your shots. That’s no longer the case.

Unless the tracer is horrendously bad and not paying attention to their HP, they’re basically guaranteed to get out of every engagement alive because they’ll always have access to recall before dying.

Unrelated but I wish Mei could one shot her. So many times I head shot her and she gets away. I also wonder why they reverted Tracer’s damage to 6. It wasn’t like she wasn’t being played at 5 damage. They just kept reverting everything but not allow her to die to one shots? It’s weird.
