Like… What?
She’s not supposed to be a mid range character, she’s supposed to get in close to get her damage off and play risky for high reward.
A common nerf people suggested when she was meta was to actually reduce her fall off distance or increase her spread since her effective range was already considered a bit high for her design.
If Tracer actually needs a buff (doubtful but that’s another topic), this isn’t it. Don’t make Soldier 76 even more obsolete.
I feel so sorry for Soldier 76 
he needed a buff more than her.
Well her spread should hopefully keep it from being too bad. I do have concerns if dive comes back because I don’t want to move backwards but…I also want her to be viable. Maybe this will aid in that.
We’ll have to see how it plays out. I’m concerned but the game is a lot different than it used to be.
Naturally I want her to be viable and strong but honestly some of the balancing is so questionable and random and… nonsensical.
well winston and dva arent suposed to be a defensive tanks… but they buff the winston shield…
they are making all heros mutirole.
As a tracer main, tracer DOES NOT NEED A BUFF LMAO. This is simultaneously making me very happy and really frustrated because now it won’t take much skill.
Personally I think she’s just “weak” because the current meta shafts most of the dps roster, including her. When that’s nerfed she’ll be fine.
Blizz always has to double dip balance changes and it’s so frustrating and always swings the game too far in one direction. They’ll nerf a character AND nerf their meta then buff a different character AND buff that character’s meta all in the same patch and then with the mega slow balancing we’re stuck in some other stale meta where a lot of heroes suck.
They just can’t control themselves.
That’s why I’m against the Moira nerf, she’s about to fall into the low tiers again and they nerfed her self healing while buffing Tracer, whose job is to flank and harass healers.
she is weak because reaper, mcree and mei are really good.
blizzard should revert mcree , mei and reaper buffs and also nerf hanzo,widow and doomfist.
Esp with Reaper and Mei those were a boatload of attempted anti GOATS buffs and have no place in 2-2-2 and they should have seen it.
Snipers are OP and they just refuse to nerf them fsr
Honestly the buff to the barrier doesn’t improve his defense, it improves his offense. His barrier isn’t used remotely the same way as the other tanks
a comp with 2 shields and two main tanks should have bad offensive capacity… is not the case of orisa + sigma…
a comp with 4 offensive and dive heros should have a bad defense… BUT WAIT, THEY ARE BUFFING DIVE DEFFENSIVE HABILITYS"!
they are just putting the game on the MULTIROLEwatch
Sorry I’m kinda confused what you’re trying to say here.
I was trying to say that this buff to his barrier improves his offense. To put it more clearly, it allows him to be a better dive tank by providing more consistency.
I think it’s a better buff to him than say buffing his tesla.
I was one of those people that always suggested range nerfs for her, I was like WHAT!? when I saw the buff lol
I’m fine with it though, I hardly ever see Tracer anymore so I’ll see how I actually feel about it once the buff is live
Tracer’s winrate has been in the bottom five for 1.5 years straight, which definitively proves that her problems are not meta-dependent.
Her main problem is a simple one: burst healing > sustained damaged.
Any other developer would’ve solved this a year ago but we’re stuck with Blizzard.
That shield won’t matter for Winston, no armor means he gets shredded
Yeah, one of the worst heroes in the game totally doesn’t need buffs
Changes I would like to shield & armor health at the moment (note that the shield health change is only for permanent shield health, not something like the barrier health Doomfist gets from landing abilities or Lucio’s ultimate):
Shield Health
Armor Health
I’m not sure if it was the right kind of buff, but Tracer needed something. She has been horrible for far too long, especially considering how difficult she is.
get ready for doomfist tracer meta
