The title says it all, there are plenty of characters that can counter her and/or defend themselves, Hog and Sombra are especially good to get her, The only people who want a nerf fall into one of these catagories:
- One tricks who SHE counters who refuse to switch and cry about her instead.
- People who feel like EVERY death they get is unfair but want to be able to kill everyone else as easy as possible.
- People who just dont have the mechanical skill to land the abilities that actually counter her and need to just play until they get better.
- People who just dont pay good enough attention to audio and visual tells to let them know who is around them, or dont have the patience to hold onto the abilities they need and bait out her abilities before they use them.

the smallest hitbox in the game, hella mobility, hella damage, get out of jail free cards galore, and only for 1 Genji swift strike less hp than everyone else.
pretty sure it speaks for itself along with her pick rate in upper tiers and how she controls the pace of the fight.

Her pick rate is so high because she is one of the only dive dps and most teams use dive tanks. Besides that everything you just mentioned falls into the catagories I listed, lack of mechanical skill on your part, and not knowing how to hold on your abilities and bait out hers.

sorry I cant hit the smallest hitbox in the game with more than half my shots as mcree, who is meant to counter her and my accuracy as him exceeds 50% and she still wins. She can just blink in on me and take away 100%-50% of my health then when I throw flash she just blinks away. does that sound fair? give a character 4 get out of jail free cards on fairly short cooldowns. Mcrees flashbang is on a 10-second cooldown when tracers ability to potentially refill all ammo and hp is only 2 seconds longer. also, may I add that her recall has no drawbacks so it potentially doubles her health and ammo. it should at least reduce her health to what it was prior to her recall (if it was lower)

I play McCree all the time as well and I have never had an issue against her. I know it sounds mean and I dont intend it that way but it really is you, not her, All you need to do is hit one headshot on her with the cowboy, or you could hit a couple of body shots, thats a lack in your mechanical skill, you mechanicaly being able to target her. And if that dosent work for you, and she is that much of a hasstle for you, then swap to someone who can shut her down, Hog, Phara, Sombra, Zarya, D.va, Soldier, the list go’s on and on, you need to find what works with your skill level. Part of OW is having to change your comp up and swap from moment to moment if what you are doing dosent work.

judging by your stats atm, your mccree accuracy is 3% more than mine and I am such a bad mccree
I highly doubt you’re reaching above 50% vs squishies which would explain your inability to hit tracer
also wait for her to use a blink or 2 or 3 before flashing instead of stupidly flashing her the second she shows up

You spelled baby D.Va wrong

a character model that barely ever exists because d.va’s mech is quite tanky

also, why has this turned into a session of bashing my mcree gameplay?

Irrelevant. It still exists. And since D.Va is in every game and gets demeched 7-8 times per game it’s not like you really don’t get to see it. In fact, you see it more than Tracer on average.
fact still stands that tracers hitbox is tiny

I’m just trying to be honest, I have a bit of issues hitting her with hitscan but can hit her with projectile heroes
and your hitscan or at least mccree accuracy is almost identical to mine and i can barely hit non tracers with him
no one is bashing you, you just dont realize that you fall into that area, your McCree game may be good but you obviously need to work on learning how to duel Tracer, she is not hard to counter, especially with the cowboy.

She’s not unhittable. She has only 1 second of shooting. She has 1.25 seconds of reload. 55+% time she won’t even be able to shoot.

At gold I have pissed off plenty of Tracers by just shooting at them with S76. One told me to go back to CoD since I liked playing Soldier. Was really fun.
I understand GMs complaining about Tracer, but at lower tiers, she’s not that good.
Because of her sheer pickrate in OWL they are looking into her. Finally they cant deny how broken their lilttle baby is thx to the league , she will get her nerf

small hecking hitbox. 3 blinks of 7 meters with 3 secs between a recall that restores to the highest HP in the last 3 secs, has a movement speed where she can chase down characters without even using her blinks, and she does over 400 damage if you hit all her shots. She has never been nerfed yet every character has been nerfed in some way, even new characters.
she needs
A. a hard counter because she doesnt have one RN. mccree flash can be baited.
B. a nerf to her damage
C. a nerf to her movement.

Soldier is an extremely underrated counter to Tracer.

Her pick rat is that high cause nearly every team in OWL uses Dive, she is one of the only dive dps.
