all the people on here crying about tracer, get your fact straight.
user plague ( Profile - Plague-22924 - Overwatch Forums) has looked up her win rate and their full quote quote is included below.
So your claim that brig, a broken 60% win rate character (in every elo), is needed to counter a character that at the top level at the peak of dive never had over a 55% win rate is rediculous.
Because i know how some people react on these forums, i should clarify that the above post doesnât say anything on my opinions about any hero in this game.
This was simply a reply to someone asking for the answers, and i tried providing these based on factual data that i could find.
yes i asked if tracers win rate was ever higher than 60% at the peak of dive. thanks for looking up the answer. i just wanted to give you credit for doing the reseach.
Because she was required in GM, both sides needed a tracer, thus one would lose and one would win. Mercyâs win rate for 2.0 looked normal on the surface for this same reason.
Data requires context and interpretation for value. This community is incapable of those things⌠The facts are pick/win rates mean nothing without context and analysis.
Have you ever played in GM? I feel like thatâs a statement that somebody who hasnât would say.
Iâve played there and she was never considered necessary. You wouldnât have one on your team most games, and Iâve literally never been asked to play Tracer.
The pro scene is a different story, but GM just nah.
Mercy 2.0 you were called a troll trying to play a non-mercy healer.
lol⌠one dev i watched on a blizccon stream literally said tracer was the reason why brigitte was introduced⌠the devs do have better stats than your overbuff page.
Something some people donât take into account should also be mentioned.
OWL, World Cup and some other Tournaments are played on LAN.
What this means is that everyone has 0 ping. Which in turn means that you can look at the enemyâs face, and youâll see exactly where theyâre aiming at at that moment.
Tracerâs kit benefits a lot from being able to react to these kinds of things. Where as most Tracerâs youâd see in your own games have to predict stuns/shots instead.
Out of all the heroes, she probably benefits the most from this.
Again, this is not about my own opinion on the hero. Itâs just a small addition explaining why sheâs stronger/too strong in the pro scene
Having been GM for 10+ seasons⌠yes. She was necessary. The were 2 in every single game forever until all the indirect nerfs. She seriously was the game in GM. Tracer was requested non-stop.
In my experience.
Brigâs pick rate is only a few % above theirs. Itâs no where near the difference between her pick rate and the truly must-pick OP heroes. All of her statistics are much, much closer to the niche heroes than the historically OP heroes, which had 10%+ pick rate and very close to 50% winrate.
