Are my 70+ hours on Tracer and others’ 500+ hours on Tracer going to be for nothing? Bye bye Tracer?
From what I could tell Tracer just becomes plain USELESS against anyone who has brigette’s armor. No damage.
Who am I supposed to play after??

This is called a counter.
Now I know it’s a new concept to you tracer players, but it’s actually an integral part of the game. Your hero is not always viable all the time.

You can still play Tracer but just pick the right time to engage her.
She is going to start selling bumper stickers on the street corner
Brigette is going to be by far the hardest counter in the game to any hero so far. You can still play Genji if there’s a Winston and McCree, you just have to avoid your counters as individuals. But there is no counterplay to Brigette as a Tracer. Her as an individual countering Tracer isn’t the problem- it’s that she makes every individual on her team impossible for Tracer to kill no matter how isolated they are because they gain so much armor.
Right, because Pharah definitely doesn’t counter symmetra and junkrat harder. Winston definitely doesn’t just delete Genji. There is a situation where a bastion can lose against Winston.

Other than, you know, staying outside her effective range of 6 meters? Going in from behind?
It’ll be very hard for Tracer to win against a Brigitte, but it’s similarly hard for a Genji to beat Winston.

Read again. I’m not complaining about Brigette but the effects she has on her entire team.
I have.
Her hard countering you individually would have the same effect. Bastion deletes Winston so hard outside of dive that since he is always dead, well, there’s nothing he can do against the bastion’s team, is there?
you’re forgetting she can do the same to you on Tracer though, idk about you but I’m happy to be able to have a near permanent 225~400 hp on Tracer with the introduction of Brigitte
granted enemies will also have that luxury ig but so do you
You could always learn another hero.

Tracer will be fine.
Solution: Play another hero.
I think Tracer players are getting way too comfortable with the idea that their character will be viable in every game mode and on every map.
If you see Brigitte, then you pick someone else.

Well don’t be a one trick then…and what do you think why is Blizz constantly godbuffing and smashhammer nerfing heroes instead of ballancing? If you have a ballanced game, people will get bored. If you have a constantly changing game, people will always come back and play more/again.
But to answer your question in a technical way: Brigitte has 200 HP. Unload your mag into her and she is dead. Or just take out the back line. Brigitte is a meele support who will be in the front line. Your targets as Tracer are the backline heroes.
Wait is the OP being serious?
150 armor is like 1.25 clips to chew through. Not a big deal. And if you have a brig of your own you get to enjoy 300 hp for a bit. Not bad.
Quit being dramatic, every hero has a counter and people still play as their mains despite it, it’s nothing to give up on playing a certain hero for.
You don’t have to downright avoid your counter, just be more wary when fighting them and you’ll have to fight smarter when you encounter them. Or play as a team and group up with someone else and take them down.
Edit: Also, yea sure it may be a little more challenging (just a tad) but if you’re a good Tracer then Brig shouldn’t be much of a problem for you right? And what’s a game with some challenges? Not everything is going to be easy for you to do, heck, no one should expect this. Either adjust to get better or give up on your hero if you can’t take it.

It’s a big deal when otherwise you could have a chance at two clipping them, now you need probably at least 3 clips which is 5-6 whole seconds of shooting and that’s if you’re accurate.
