With Health Pools being more, because the devs wanted to stop spawn kills. Will lead to Tracer Mains not being able to flank from behind a group of enemy as she used to. But Sombra (the most closest hit-n-run player to Tracer) will get a 50hp bump… Why?
Season 9 changes will end Tracer Mains. Raising just 25hp will still two-shot Tracer from Kiri, Ashe, Cassidy.
So it’s like everyone else getting buffed.
Blizzard! Stop catering to the Skill Floor. Kiri already is a menace, and now we have a larger projectile of hers to face.
Season 9 could also be a never-ending fight of dmg and heals and no one really dying because of all the immortalities and now more health.
How can a Tracer chase a Ball with his heal 100hp more? That Ball will still run away.
Season 9. END OF TRACER!

I agree. If the leak is real Tracer will be useless. Losing potential to 1-clip squishes makes her need at least 3s in the backline to do something. It’s too long to survive. If 2 clips not go well you are dead or Recall which means you come back in 12-15s. They wil have their Suzu’s back. Tracer in the leaked patch would be nothing more than a bit of annoying distraction. Wait for her winrate below 40% in low ranks.
Still hope this leak was fake. 250HP to Cass, Soldier, Mercy, Moira, Ana, Ashe, Brig, Junkrat is a hell for Tracer

This is at least one good thing I have to look forward to in the coming patch.
And also 20% reduction isn’t going to help Tracer Mains like me. I’m targeting a hero who’s been ‘Isolated from drifting away from the team’. Me hitting them and having their 20% Heal Reduction for 2 seconds isn’t helping me in anything. I’m still dealing with a Cassidy Health Buffed dodging his shots and trying to use ‘Another Mag’ which I have to reload staring at his face or wasting another blink, until I get Hindered and shot.
I’m at M1 Xbox Tracer Main 1000+ hours only play the game cause of Tracer.
About to be GM but I don’t see it happening in Season 9. It’s gonna drop me to Plat or something.

So? Is Tracer meant to survive 2 headshots? Or a headshot + bodyshot? Or 3 bodyshots? NO
They’ve not thought through these hp changes at all. You can’t lump together heroes by health pool and then buff them all. For example we all know Cassidy is broken when his health is buffed, and now he gets 275hp? And what about Reaper with 300hp with bigger bullets and lifesteal? Utter madness.
The skill floor is 80% of the player base that play tge gane for fun, they barely utilize the key concepts of plain shooters, let alone one with abilities. Some will use cover, some can aim, some can manage abilities or sight lines but none of the 80% do all of these things. Maybe 10 to 20% do, and those are your masters plus players. I’d cater to the casual crowd, too. It’s simple math.
The regen passive helps her. I think it’ll be tough to secure kills though. I think they’re going to have to tweak heroes to make this work.
