Genji vs Tracer

Okay, it seems tracer is a bit worse on the high ranks, than i thought. Still her stats are pretty good.

HOWEVER on mid ranks I still see tracer has having the edge, at least in the hands of a pro. Because Genji is hardcountered, Tracer not. What holds Genji down the most is pharmacy. On high ranks that might not be a problem, because ppl know how to aim them down. But on Gold/Plat you are doomed. Basically my life as genji one trick is playing 30:0 scores and rank up and then get crushed by pharmacy. Always the same.

Yeah its a counter that tracer doesnt have. Seeing as all CC except sombra and Ana has been eliminated. In a straight fight between two equally skilled players i think genji would have the edge over tracer right now.

I weirdly think a hidden gem to Tracer is she doesn’t have a secondary fire.

I always rebind blink to right mouse button, and it just feels really good to playing the character for the very sudden, skirmish-y style.

the passive doesn’t stack after every kill. It doesn’t indefinitely stack.
The only time Genji ult is genuinely busted is with either Nano or Kiriko’s ult, which they are designed to do and will do for every hero. Genji’s ult by itself is strong enough to kill 2 people if there’s no supp ults waiting for his, but so is almost every other ult able to do. With even less skill mind you.

McCree, Soldier, Junkrat, Sigma, Hanzo and basically almost all other dps have the same power for their ult as Genji does, except that Genji even gets a limit. He loses his range.

So Genji with Nano is busted as everyone says, how about Hanzo with Zarya ult? The only ult that counters stuff like Genji nano or Zarya Hanzo is Zen ult, Lucio ult, and maybe Moira ult if used well. Like, everyone dying to his ult is kind of supps responsibility to counter in 3 cases with their ults, or else you’re out of luck, but that’s the same for every ult if it’s paired with nano, graviton, and certain others like Rein and Kiriko.

probably simply because she has 50hp less than him. If it’s a god tracer vs god Genji then she might win as well tho. If she times her recall right to heal from damage and ignore the swift strike, then she’ll 100% win the fight

Ive never understood people wanting to nerf combos, its literally the main meta of the game for high level competitive ult comboing and nerfing certain groupings will only bring a new combo forward. Espscially when nano blade isnt even that strong without a good genji.

Yeah probably. Though genjis damage is a bit high and a one second misstep by tracer is death.

TLDR I want my busted hero to remain busted. This is what happens when you leave something as is, introduce CC to counter it, and then remove virtually all forms of CC.

I’m sorry to say that ur just too bad at the game :slight_smile:

This looks like an OW1 post. I’m looking forward to the “Why Genji is worse than Doomfist” post in the future series.

Cree bomb, junk bomb, Ana nade, bap field, hanzo one shot (surprisingly consistent), kiriko suzu, lucio self heal, mei everything, Moira fade and impossible to miss grasp, pharah range, reaper damage, range, and sustain, hog hook, soldier everything, sombra hack, sym turret, torb turret

Every one of those completely shuts down a flank and forces retreat and reset, or just outright kills.

:musical_note: Genji-man, Genji-man, doing what ever a Genji-man does. Throwing shuriken, double jumping…look out! Here comes a Genji-man!!! :musical_note:
