I want to see the most back flip, pole vaulting, 100m spirit, swimming, Javelin throwing, absolute MENTAL GYMNASTICS takes to justify Tracer being as OP as she is right now.

You can’t. The dev team has a preferred playstyle and favor certain characters. They are always going to buff those characters or leave them OP for extended periods of time. Either you play around that or you move on to another game.
because most player still can’t do anything as tracer and have 100% more value on other heroes that are harder to make mistakes with.
example: Reaper, he is garbage if people click his head.
most people can’t do that.
most people don’t think how they engage, thus tracer bad.
walking straight at a orisa shooting at you, reaper lives tracer dies. ergo reaper > tracer for most players.
the devs are like most players btw and not GM.

Tracer is British, and the most British number of the alphabet is purple, which in Canadian is 6.

Nothing makes any sense anymore. There’s no justifying. They should check Blizzard’s Hearquarters for a gas leak. That’s the only justification I can find for the current balance changes.

She takes almost as much skill as Genji.
The best justification is just: Try playing her.
Substantially worse than S76 or Genji for nearly the entire player base.
For the top 1% who want to try hard, they’re probably in comp, and can just ban her if they want to.

People in bronze 5 needed to be able to play her and get value

Maybe it’s to get the ban rate down for Sombra in comp?
You cant. They buffed a meta character back to the exact state that broke her before.
These devs brains are cooked. Like they legitimately dont have the mental capacity to be considered regular people

That isn’t a justification.
That isn’t her being worse, that’s players not being good enough. You don’t balance a hero like tracer for a population of the playerbase that could never play her regardless.
She’s fine. You just have to shoot her. I know that sounds dismissive, but it’s not meant to be, because the reality is that so many people don’t shoot at her. They’ll complain about her harassing/killing them, but they do that with the understanding (in their mind) that it’s someone else’s job to shoot her, a better suited hero (again, in their mind).
As a Tracer player, my effectiveness drops massively when even a Mercy turns to shoot at me instead of just running and complaining. Seriously, just shoot at her. She has no HP.

i aint the best tracer in the world but it does feel terrible when you think you are far away with no blinks/recalls and a valk’d mercy comes chasing you with her pistol. its happened to me lol
There is no justifying it.
She is a hero that has always been powerful at upper ranks, while this change was for the lower ranks who can’t play her.

Easy lol. “When everyone is super, no one is”
Even with the buffs im not sure she even makes top 5 in current meta especially since freja and sojourn can 1 tap her. Honestly the echo buffs scares me more than tracer
