Seriously? Pulse Bomb Nerf?

it also greatly reduces the pick potential of pulse bomb. she can’t kill a nanoboosted squishy, for example.

I don’t need more nightmares, please

hopefully it makes people use actual teamwork to beat it.

I’m a Tracer main, and I don’t know what to think of this.

Of all things, pulse bomb?

Yeah, that’s kinda the point.

Exactly.

Wait, Tracer got nerfed?

Hmm, I suppose, if a nerf had to happen, that’s the one that preserves what makes Tracer, Tracer. If they would have gone after the mobility or damage I’d have considered that far more dire than this.

Seems ok to me!

Tracer is still gonna kill like 90% of the roster with her ult, no biggy. This just makes her not so devastating to tanks, she can still pewpew them for ult charge.

I am actually amazed they nerfed Tracer. I thought they would never do that.
They are going in the right direction, these PTR changes are good

People are going to wish Tracer had her 400 dmg pulse bomb when death ball and triple - quad tank become more prominent.

But still happy this is all they did, even if I think she doesn’t need a nerf at all, as her kit is entirely dependent of the skill of the person playing her

Official patch notes:

Seems fine to me. I’m still going to be dying to it even after I get into the yellow safe zone.

Well, the only person this has an impact on is Bastion. She still kills everyone she already could in one shot.

Thanks, Ivan! :+1:

That feel when Tracer is the general best DPS option against Tanks

In a world where Reaper, Junkrat, and Bastion exist

And to reduce that they nerf a tool she can use; and people complain

I wish Ana still had 80 damage; “Oh Ana deals too much damage as a support! Yeah but Tracer the Flanker can melt Tanks so…”

Not what was needed. Either her survivability or DPS needs to be looked into.

Justified nerf is justified.

yeah i’ve never quite found it fair how good tracer is vs. tanks and pulse is a fairly big reason why.

this just gives me more reason to grind out pulse aim to get healers instead of going for the easy tank stick
