Well, if you want her to be the “High-Skill High-Reward” hero, then she should not be able to refund health, while being able to have such a mobility. Opinions?

What?
The gap she has between getting that health back is extremely short
You have to recall like right after you take damage to get full health back. If you wait, you’ll get a fraction or nothing.

Not really; In a fast peace shooter like this, she has more time then needed.

The only thing I’d do is Cap the maximum damage returned.
I.e. only 75-80% of the damage is reverted.

Wouldn’t that remove about 90% of the reason Recall exists?

Tracer has the lowest healthpool in the game.
Removing Recall’s healing would make tracer unplayable.

She only rewinds by 3 seconds and it also puts her in a bad spot.

Takes her off the point for 1 second so it can’t be used for stalling if it’s been OT for a while.

If you pay attention you know where she’s going to be, so you can swipe away 50-120 of her HP ez.

She only has 150HP. While it seems like a small gap between 200 and 150, you also have to remember people deal absurd amounts of damage in this game.
tbh Tracer is fairly balanced. She lacks a true counter and that’s why she seems unbalanced.

if you remove recall then you’re gonna h as to give her 200hp since she won’t ha e her self sustain, and I don’t think anyone wants a 200hp tracer running around…

Yes, but she also has the best mobility in the game.

Being able to have her HP back is the reason she has 150 health on the first place.

But she has the lowest HP in the game. You know how easy it is to kill Baby D.Va? Imagine that for Tracer, and even with that mobility, she won’t last long

She has the lowest healthpool in the game so by doing this that would make her extremely weak lol
Also personally I think she’s fairly balanced but she just doesn’t have a true counter which is the main problem

She has crazy mobility, a tiny hitbox, hard hitting guns, three rapidly recharging teleports
She absolutly does not need a Do Over button on top of that

They need to change something with her. Like OP says she’s supposedly a high skill high reward hero, yet she can make countless mistakes and not be punished for them.
Anyone who thinks Tracer/Genji are balanced is crazy. They need to be toned down.

Winston, Moria and Symetrea are pretty good counter to her.

that is a horrible idea

This is very far from the way to “fix” Tracer. At the very least wait a bit after Sombras buffs come out to see how that affects her.

You do realize she has to recall within 4 seconds of getting damage in order to get full health back.
Also she’s a measly 150 hp target, that recall is a crucial part of her kit
Also try to save burst dmg till after you force her to recall. I do that with Solider helix rocket. Shoot her, she recall, then it easier to helix her for good dmg that she can’t just recall back.
Tracer is in a good place. While I can see how facing her, being about to beat her, and having her recall all that damage done to her can be annoying; the appeal of her is that’s she’s incredibly inviting for new players and she’s pretty well-rounded to be effective in top-tier play. Her recall allows for forgiveness of her player’s mistake and keeps her in the fight for a second chance, while her long cool-down lets them be smart about engaging; I don’t see that as such a bad thing, especially when the most she’s recalling is under 150 health.
Disabling the health regained by recalling isn’t the answer, but neither is increasing its cooldown. Sure, it’s already pretty long that any longer would just make Tracer players to be smarter about engaging. However, it would also increase her downtime and force her to play behind the protection of her team, who usually already plays out of her effective range. This reduces the value she gives her team, as she’d be having to wait for her recall to come back before reengaging and distracting the enemy, or just generally doing her job.
Tracer is a “backline assassin” as suggested by her close-range pistols, and being able to self-sustain and disengage is a pretty crucial part of her.
