She has no down sides. She doesnt need to worry about positioning. She does insane damage, best mobility. Dont even try an say her downfall is low health, that means nothing when Tracers hitbox is tiny and she can easily dodge being stunned.
I strongly dislike this hero, spawn camping is so easy for her to do, she can blink 3 times an one clip me which isnt fun to play against in general, aiming with her isnt incredibly difficult, shes effective at just over medium range, she doesnt even need to get close to Mcree who “Supposedly” counters her. She can win a 1v1 with every other hero on the roster pretty easily.

Her weakness is her ability management. She is useless without those blinks and recall. And it’s very easy to make mistakes with her. Plus everything depends on very quick bursts of damage. Yes people are used to tracer but that also is true for her opponents. Blink is easy to read now and recall is simple to predict as well. She has counters and weaknesses. Also if you can’t aim, tracer is going to be a nightmare for most players.

DPS hero can get a kill, that’s unusual.

So what’s the purpose of this post? Most post end with a question or something. This is just like a long very biased complaint about a hero you don’t actually play.

Little secret I learnt to demoralise anyone who tries to spawn camp ![:wink:](https://d74zh8edaijub.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/wink.png?v=5" ":wink:")
Pick ana, sleep target, swap to anyone else.
Now the fun part
Switch back to ana and poof a new sleep dart is ready to put that tracer in a coma for half the game.
Rinse and repeat until she dies of sedative overdose and leave the bullyhunters.org©®™ calling card for memes.
this also isn’t very exploitable since you give up ult charge and can only be done when being spawn camped, so its pretty much a counter measure to enforce fair play.

Her damage is absurd for being a flanker with infinite mobility.
Which is why Blink refresh is 3 seconds cooldown… and they just wait for their recall to come back up, not a long cd at all for instant divine intervention.
A fkin Genie couldn’t predict a Tracer, she has 3 360 degree teleports.
Having to thread a needle teleporting around you twice is a nightmare for anyone. Especially her supposed counter Mccree who gets one clipped because his hat counts as his head hitbox.

Don’t know why I’m taking the bait but here it gos.
-Almost every hero can 1 clip anything that isn’t a tank and her increased firerrate is mitigated by the reload time which brings her average dps well below other high skill heros
Just a literal false statement. All that blinking around makes her heavily aim reliant that’s why the promised land of 30%+ aim is where most players try to be and even high level tracers don’t break 40
False her spread is massive at that distance that’s why she’s always in your face
She can dance around the edge of his flashbang range sure but he can also take a few steps forward and throw it he’s not a static hero like bastion
Phara and bridge say hello. Hog and junkrat easily win most encounters hanzo, mei, and widow all give her trouble because they can 1shot her.

if you are fast enough, you can keep 2 people asleep all game.
I’ve done this once, oh the reports I got…
totally worth it, would do it again!!! The hardest thing was making sure my team didn’t kill them.

If you really think this, then you’ve never played Tracer before.

speaking of spawn campers i hate them i had a hanzo on the oponent team immediately fire at anyone coming out of the spawn point at hanamura when we are suppose to try and protect point b and i think they had someone else watching the other exit of the spawn room i reported the user and it seems blizzard wont do anything about the dirty playing
Why do people lie and say Tracer doesn’t have to worry about positioning?

As a Tracer main, this is plain wrong. If you don’t have basic positioning skills down, you will get punished and killed.

I mean yeah, but they nefed her already (at least on the PTR). Even though I don’t feel like the pulse bomb damage nerf is the nerf she needed. Of all the things people complained about with Tracer I don’t feel like her pulse bomb itself was one of them.
I guess it helps out tanks, and tanks could use some help. But I’m not a great Tracer, and I can reliably kill all the tanks except Roadhog and Orissa even without ult most of the time. I feel like if they were going to nerf Tracer that wasn’t needed or the way to do it.

I would suggested to change your title as it is very misleading.

Her incredibly small hitbox doesn’t matter with our wonderful new lineup of support heroes with some of the most lenient aim in the game

Tracer can unload 480 damage in one second, that’s too damn high.(Highest dps in the game next to Reaper and Bastion)
Fighting Tracer is twice as hard as being the Tracer.
Her spread is massive but she’s once blink away from not needing to care.
She can also walk a few steps back and maintain the range? She can also blink during the wind up so that’s nil.
Tracer wins every 1v1 in the game. Pharah can’t hit her, Brig can only peel her off, Hog has to land a hail mary hook, and she one clips all the snipers while they aren’t looking.

Oh you too you fight bots with 500 health ? I thought I was the only one weird. I thought it was a player Vs player game where people moved and stuff. I thought it would be difficult to do 480 damage to someone moving especially with her spread that will make you miss a few bullets even in the face of the enemy. Also all my target have the head hitbox of the size of the payload ! Do you experience this problem as well ? They should have tiny hitbox but I can ez pz lemon squizy ultimate tranquility come from behind and 480 their face with 100% accuracy.

Tell that BS to Mccrees Hat hitbox. Tbh it sounds like you’re projecting your bad aim onto us. Her design is a flanker, meaning she’s going to spit 240-480 damage in one second from your blindside, over and over and over.
Who would win? Countless professional players who assert that Tracer is the single hardest hero in the game, or one diamond console symmetra boi

They only say that because Top tier Tracer vs Top tier Tracer is damn near rng
