With 10 damage on Shield Bash Brig can combo kill Tracer after she gets one initial hit. But she has 5 instead.
Right now, the total damage AFTER an initial hit is 145… What the actual hell, HOW FREAKING SPECIFIC. This is the whole McCree and Ana doing 70 damage, and Storm Arrow dmg getting nerfed to 70 (instead of reducing the number of arrows), all over again.
Why does Tracer have 150 again? When all the damage numbers cater to her?
Is it to give people the illusion that she dies easily dispite having an effective 300 health becuase of an EZ to use cooldown so you can get away with fooling your drones that your garbage annoying mascot is busted beyond belief?
EDIT: I’m not complaining about the combo not killing. I’m complaining about it not killing EVEN AFTER PRIOR DAMAGE FROM A SWING. I’m literally just asking for an extra 5 damage on bash.
I play in plat. I play a plat tracer. I face plat tracers. Never really felt she was busted. She was always that little kid running around with a water gun during the summer. Its annoying but its just water at the end of the day.
When you play in GM she feels like the kid that has the water hose as her “gun” and all the other kids parents forgot to buy them anything to play with
I was that kid except I had the sprinkler. Thats gotta suck. Shes in that rather odd state that you can’t nerf her without making her utter garbage for lower ranks.
The pulse bomb nerf was enough for Tracer, she didn’t need another hero to exist just make her unplayable.
Now the Brig nerf does feel a lot harsh, but it’s the right direction, she wasn’t being picked as “a healer that can defend themselves”, because she’s such a useless healer.
Its rare I actually get one clipped by a tracer who is in my rank. If I get one clipped I know a majority of the time its that master they placed in my lobby because his pool of players was dry.
Pros can aim. If you are getting 1 clipped it’s cos you are standing still or moving in a straight line. Learn to move properly and then see how good the enemy tracer is.
I want to answer this but my untrained mind might have some difficulties. The one combo kill was always a threat to tracer but wasn’t the ability to give armor to any target instantly, give 100 armor during ult, and enable multi tank comps which tracer struggles against especially with her pulse bomb nerf factor in to tracer dipping out in pro play? Surely it wasn’t just the combo alone. My simple plat mind could be wrong. Correct me please.
I’m Gold, I’ve one clipped plenty of people with Tracer. It’s about target movement, good players aren’t going to be so easy to hit, while at this level some do make it very easy for you.
It’s not a myth, but then it’s not everyone you shoot either. It’s about getting and taking opportunities to do so. I think that’s where the real Tracer skill comes in. That and not Blinking Into danger - people talk about Mercy for game sense, Tracer also needs that in spades.
