Dumb question but I have seen an increase in hatred towards tracer mains lately with people saying stuff like “typical tracer main” in game and such. I have only noticed this alot over the past few weeks but before that they abuse was pretty rare

Most people are salty that her only true counter got nerfed heavily, thats all.

No one likes dying to Tracer because 90% of the time its simply because you couldn’t hit one of the smallest hitboxes in the game. It feels almost as bad as dying to baby DVa

Except with baby dva she doesn’t do 480 damage and doesn’t have 300 HP. It’s understandable why tracer gets hate since she is a pretty stupidly designed character

She’s literally built to antagonize lol.

Tracer is like Mei in the sense that both of their kits are designed as “anti-fun”. Mei immobilizes the opponent while Tracer is built to act as something of an “ability sink”, where multiple heroes have to burn multiple cooldowns to drive her off for a few seconds. That’s probably why they both take some heat from others.

I’d say worse in a way as Baby Dva really shouldn’t kill you most of the time, so dieing to her sort of means you screwed up and its your fault. Tracer on the other hand is supposed to be able to kill you, so it feels like there wasn’t anything you could do to stop it when it happens and you feel more helpless/outgunned.

And then you’ve burned your cooldowns and you hear her giggling.
Is it any wonder that she gets people worked up? lol

Simple, she kills us supports which is a big no no in what I call quality of fun. It’s time to cripple her like Weakfist.

I can see why some people and mains may find interactions with her unfun but does that mean the player maining Tracer should get hate for playing a hero they enjoy?

It seems like every hero main gets hate depending on who you are matched with lol I see hate for a lot of heroes, some more than others, but to put it simply people are salty about something and project it onto others in game.

That happens because people cannot admit that some others are better. Does the enemy widow get a triple? They blame their widow even if the team is to blame for not making space. Does the enemy pharah rekts you? Blame McCree even if Pharah stays at McCree’s max falloff.
90% of Tracers cannot kill anybody if there’s a biotic field down. However, 95% of McCree’s haven’t trained their flick at blink range and they fully rely to flash. Genji can literally one shot Tracer with hit/dash combo. Moira at all times leaves tracer with 100hp just because she’s there.
Thus, they whine about Tracer because of their ego. That’s the answer

Tracer is a lot easier than people think and her skill floor is exaggerated convince me otherwise

I’ve never liked tracer and never will, but I’ll never antagonize another person because they play her.
My hate will always lie on the character itself.

it depends how you define “easiness”. The easiest hero on papers is soldier… By not dying or poking means that you contribute? Indeed you contribute to enemy support ultimate farm. It’s easy to survive with Tracer (given some luck of course), but that does not mean that you fulfill your role. It’s the exact same as Genji.
In platinum I constantly engage cocky Moiras who believe they can duel me. That means that there are a lot of Tracers who have trouble with Moira; those are bad Tracers.
A well played Tracer is annoying by design. I know I’ve played a good game if someone on the other team complains about me afterwards.
If someone on my own team is complaining about me playing Tracer, that may be valid depending on team comps and whether we are doing well. I’ll generally switch off if we’re getting hosed and we need more accurate hitscan or a more balanced comp.
It didn’t ruin her ability to counter tracer though…

Try not standing still.
Tracer has 150 HP with a 12 second CD heal. If she had 300 HP, she wouldn’t be oneshot by Ashe out to what, 35 meters? 40?
My goal is to be ‘Enemy Tracer’. You know–the one who is somehow everywhere and nowhere; who participates in 120% of kills without dying; who regularly gets multikills with Pulse Bomb; who one-clips Reinhardts, Lucios, and Pharahs; who laughs between Blinks and leads half the team away in a merry chase, only to turn and one-clip them all, before spraying their corpses and flying back to her home planet.

I find that a lot of Tracer mains tend to be really annoying people, not just with how they play. Above all of the people who spam voicelines, I find that Tracer players do it the most.
Also, most tank mains I know (not counting Roadhog) hate having to deal with her because of her stupidly small hitbox and crazy mobility. It’s a mess to fight.

Thats just other word for “tipical dps main” because, belive me or not, people generalize people base on what they play. And dont act like dps players dont do that too, because its not true. Everyone who main any class can start doing that.
