It’s mostly just here, and mostly only started (in Tracers case) after OWL started. Which suddenly brought in these one clipping, 1v6 capable, unhittable Tracers in the majority of this forums Silver/Gold level matches.
In case of Genji, I think it’s the ultimate. Many DPS ultimates are like whatever, or outright a joke (see Pharah/McCree), but Genji will get a freebie against most heroes and there is nothing you can do about it. It’s irritating.
Average Tracers don’t seem to be that strong, I think it’s the fake outrage for the most part. Sure, the very top Tracers are visibly better than other DPS, but generally the hero is just OK.
By design a lot of characters were unique and got nerfed because they were too strong (or people think they were)
Genji and tracer aren’t immunte to this
Well it’s not so bad now since Supports have options to deal with Genji/ Tracer
But the other thing is; there are 14 DPS heroes (Or whatever) yet only 2-3 are really good at any one time.
Like even back when Ana was super powerful; Mercy was picked more up until Diamond; and Ana dominated the highest levels of play. That wasn’t okay apparently so Ana was nerfed into the dumpster.
However, Tracer does the exact same thing, yet has been okay this entire time?
Yup, it’s only the forums that truly hate the heroes. No idea how that became the norm, but I have noticed the forums consist of mostly support mains, with most of them being non competitive, or around Plat.
No, that’s not an insult, it’s just an observation.
My personal dislike is how much mobility both have and high burst damage. Usually you sacrifice damage for mobility or have some kind of drawback, but neither character really does.
If you manage your abilities your either impossible to catch or your darn near immortal. Their skill ceiling is as high as the player’s IQ.
However, good Tracers can still shut down McCrees, will dodge Pharah, Mei and can shut down tanks at will.
Those heroes are supposed to counter Tracer/flankers, but the Tracer can simply outplay them and win. We need soft counters that can actually do their job without getting EZ’d.
You seem to only play qp, where you play with people of all skills. If you played competitive more, and got placed, you’d know they aren’t near immortal, far from it.
