Mercy can too. Everyone can.
I really don’t mean to be rude here, but maybe you aren’t good enough at the heroes who effectively counter her? If you aren’t good enough at aiming, I could see her giving people fits. When I have bad games, sure, she’s annoying. That’s her job though.
Is it possible that Tracer exposes many of the players playing aim based characters who shouldn’t be? Honestly, if your on PC and have problems shooting Tracer, I don’t think the problem is the hero itself.
If you CAN aim, well, I’d go back to my point regarding rhythm. It wasn’t until I started playing Tracer that I started to shut her down with relative ease. Maybe it’s kind of like real rhythm… some people have it, some don’t. I’m not sure. But I don’t understand these threads at all.
Just my 2 cents.
These nerf tracer threads never get old I swear. I’m running out of doritos reading them all and laughing.

I wonder if there is a way for us to find out exactly what % of Tracer’s solo kills are actually one clips, and be able to see these figures for all 7 tiers.
As a Tracer main, I’d be very interested in seeing this if the info is out there, because as far as my own personal experience goes with Tracer, one clipping is extremely hard unless the enemy is basically standing still, like a Widow who is so focused on her zoomed target, she doesn’t even react in time to a Tracer flanking.
If anyone know where we can get these stats let me know, thanks.

Would have been an interesting point if Soldier had even half of Tracer’s mobility. You also neglect that said self healing is tied to a small patch of area, which makes him much more predictable if he actually wants to heal.

Tracer is actually pretty balanced. At best I would want a slightly increased ult charge for her so that Pulse Bomb is not available almost all the time. But damage and abilities are fine as-is.

I dont blame you for thinking that, but it is not the case, my aim is pretty good actually, it has nothing to do with that as even with non aim heavy heroes, Tracer is still pretty much OP. Like i already mentioned, there is only so much times when people can accuse others of “not being good”, it’s just not true.
I added an edit to my post. Check it out. It’s the only other thing I can think of.
Either that, or many players don’t aim as well as they think they do.
well i got bored looking at old posts, people mostly complained about bastion not tracer btw. someone linked a early tournament where two bastions and two mercy players destroyed the other team.
Here’s the first page for old forums for general

If is not one thing is another, it wouldn’t make sense that we all just “complain” about one hero in particular and not anyone else. It’s really easy to just dismiss the opinions of hundreds and hundreds of people and tell them that they are not good enough, but it doesn’t really make sense, how does the saying goes, “if theres smoke theres fire” something like that i don’t know, my point is, there is too much debate about just one single hero that arguments like the one you used is not relevant, sure you can try to argue something else, like i said, if its not one thing is the other, i’ve seen so many arguments that it’s even funny seeing people come up with so many things.
It took me literally a minute to find this kind of post:

I’m not surprised they let broken heroes stay broken. Tracer’s still on a rampage too.
That is from the very beginning of the game, the very first page, and is talking about how Tracer has been OP even before the game released, and people complaining about balance.

Thing is, sometimes there isn’t a fire. I see no logical reasoning for Tracer being OP. The smoke could just as easily be associated with her skill gap and her overall annoyance.
You’d be amazed how many people have no idea what they’re talking about. Every character has nerf and buff threads at one point. Every single one. I think Tracer is just the most annoying while being extremely popular right now.
If you call out a Tracer, she has to leave. She simply can’t sustain focus fire. So of course she’s powerful if you just let her into your backlines.
Sorry, I just don’t see it. At all.
Pick rates for 95% of the players. Tracer sure does look extremely OP for all the casual folk (and I’m not even sure people at diamond skill could be called “casual”).

Are you aware of the accuracy requirements to one clip a hero? It’s not easy. Despite what you may think, go watch some of the higher ranked tracer streamers. It’s not all that common to just casually one clip a hero unless it’s something like a surprise spawn camp and they are walking in a straight line with their guard down.

And sometimes there is, and there are lots of things pointing in that direction in this case.
Also a lot of people do know what they are talking about. And no, not every hero has a nerf thread, and the fact that Tracer is the one who has by far the most in the whole roster says a lot.
That’s ok, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t there. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Tracer doesn’t need high accuracy to be OP though. What makes her so good is her mobility. She’s able to close the gap to do massive damage and get out before anyone can punish her. Tracer doesn’t need to have the insanely high damage she has. Her mobility is already enough to enable her.

To be totally fair…sometimes you do simply get one clipped.

Everyone always brings up the one meta where Tracer wasn’t basically the top dps pick. Tracer has been not meta as many times as several heroes have been meta.
Or how about you… Call out the Tracer in your back line to your team? ![:man_shrugging:t3:](https://d74zh8edaijub.cloudfront.net/en/overwatch/images/emoji/twitter/man_shrugging/3.png?v=5" ":man_shrugging:t3:")
