I played in lower ranks not long ago and those tracers there arent’ really good, however what makes her op is that she has no skill ceiling you will reach a point where a tracer player will simply outperform anyone because his character has no ceiling.

implying skill ceilings aren’t the best thing ever and we shouldn’t strive to have limitless skill ceilings for all characters
lol
She only needs a small damage Nerf her damage is way to high for this extreme mobility her kit doesnt have any bad things

This just shows people need to play her more before complaining. Like a lot more, not 5-10 hours more. (and also realize that if they are better than you they, deserve to win the game against you!)

No it’s that they can’t deal with Tracer and also deal with the rest of her team at the same time.
Guess what? That’s the entire point of her existence. That’s how you play Tracer correctly. Guess we should start nerfing Widowmaker for being good at long range, huh? Or maybe Reinhardt for blocking damage. You don’t nerf a hero for being good at exactly what they’re supposed to be good at.

Yeah and i don’t really see how to nerf her or buff anyone without making tracer or anyone else useless.
She’s. Fine. …
On average 4 of the 6 tanks (D.Va, Orisa, Roadhog, Zarya) deal more damage per game than Tracer does at all ranks, including GM. D.Va actually deals around 30% more damage per game than Tracer. These calls for Tracer’s “oh so high damage” to be nerfed are funny. Don’t forget Tracer is too survivable too, nevermind that those same 4 tanks die 20%-30% less per game than Tracer.

Liiiiike i said. Tracer is not op in low/mid rank but reall op in high ranks. Hell many People up there want her to be nerfed because of that.
So please inform yourself better before acting like a smartass to other people x)
Are you responding to me? Cause, like I said, the stats I quoted are true in GM as well. Tracer isn’t even OP at the high ranks. She’s just good there. And is currently being enabled by the gross OPness of D.Va and the overtuning of Winston.

Just because a hero has no skill ceiling doesnt mean they dont need the team. In lower ranks you can carry a game by yourself because you may be able to spot peoples mistakes but in the higher end of the ladder like top500 gm and masters no matter how skillful you are you cant carry a game alone this is shown through even professional players they cant win every game even though they are the best the game has to offer. so skill ceiling doesnt make it so they cant win and also there are other heroes with infinite skill ceilings like winston, genji, zenyatta, lucio, soldier 76 there are many heroes with infinite skill ceiling that no one complains about. The only reason why tracer gets so much hate is that this meta heavily favours her
That’s entire DPS block of characters and Tracer kills better than all of them. Based on this, Doomfist and co. are always a wasted pick.
Distracting the backline and having them worrying about their positioning is advantageous, that’s a big part of Tracer’s job and she does it better than anyone.
Still trying to figure out how this idea got upvotes

Tracer sucks on low tiers
People can barely move their mouses in low tiers
Even a horrible-bad Tracer can carry games because nobody can shoot you
lmao
I tried OW console and trying to kill Tracer with a Joystick was the most infuriating thing in my whole life.
The reason number one why Tracer needs a nerf is because the only counter for Tracer is the player himself, he/she needs to make mistakes or be extremely unlucky (like getting between a shoot or junkrat trap )

That assertion can be easily refuted with simple statistics. In Bronze, Silver and Gold she is in the bottom half of heroes with respect to pick rate.

You never buff and nerf at the same time.
I’ve played a game that did that and it’s nearly impossible to play more than 3min of it without getting frustrated now.
But something needs to be done about her.
Nerf her(i really think is not a great ideia)
buff her counters(better option)
But not both at the same time.
Let’s face it, Tracer’s design is problematic. How do you counter Tracer? Buff Sombra and everyone else is more punished. Brigitte? Interrupt way more punishing to everyone else…
They would have to design a hero specifically targeting movability but then you still ends up hurting Genji’s and Lucio’s more.

doomfist is often a wasted pick and that’s why he’s bad
being a distraction is good situationally but it needs to be tempered with other things. if a tracer is distracting but isn’t actually a credible enough threat to be worth paying attention to then your team is fighting 5v6. like it or not tracer has a higher threshold where she becomes a credible threat than most other heroes, since she has little HP and no skills to make killing someone directly easier. thus in tiers where people can’t aim she is a waste of a DOS slot since she isn’t actually getting anything done.
