So... bait it out with the ctrl+z move and/or good spacing and punish? Tracer is hsrd to play, McCree isn't OP :D

You can't rewind when you're stunned.. so if he's half decent it's pretty much instadeath. You just have to not get hit by it. There's a lot of stuff that feels OP to Tracer because she's made out of paper.

Obviously not when you are stunned, i mean go in rang, and pop it before the grenade connects. You'd have to gamble on him throwing it, as i don't think you could do it on reaction.

What about the dash? If you dash through a nade toss, wouldn't it miss?

Obviously this is not something i'd expect to ever do, just thinking out loud. The few rounds i've played as Tracer were terrible. I just get stomped instantly. But i imagine she is one fo those heroes that relies a lot on team play and map awareness. Combine that with her super low HP and yeah, you have a tough hero to play as.

Mostly yes. You can blink through all kinds of stuff.

Tracer's 1v1 capability is interesting. I win lots of 1v1 fights with Tracer.. sometimes against tanks. Reinhardt is fun to fight against with Tracer! It's the stuff that can 1HK you that's really problematic. I think McCree serves as a hard counter to Tracer, and snipers can really devastate her too. I find Hanzo particularly annoying since he 1) doesn't need to scope and 2) can 1HK you with that ricochet bullshit.

And maybe Junkrat traps. And Mei. Basically anything that shuts down her movement kills her.

Tracer is also the only character I feel is really at the mercy of the game's netcode:



Her speed makes the low tick-rate stick out.

I've played some real quality tracers, granted I generally have to tank in most situations it feels like

Mei is the opponent I find most difficult to deal with.

Her ability to delay a battle in her ice barrier, the wall block, and her blizzard are all so good
Not to mention her straight up gun freezes you so fasssst

Love playing her, hate playing against her

With who? That kinda makes a huge difference in Overwatch.

Mei's freeze has a real range issue and sorta non-threatening DPS.. so it's not a HUGE deal for Tracer.

She can be a pain to actually kill though. That freeze/self heal is pretty convenient. That alt-fire is nasty too.

I just think being killed by her in general is the most painful probably

Just the nature of her weapons.

Cloud 9 vs. Reunited @ Overkill.GG

It's match point.. so it'll probably be over but it's pretty good. I like Cloud 9.. and both team's comps are interesting. There's a lot of double tank, double medic comps and a lot of character stacking. They're switching up their comps a lot from map-to-map (and point-to-point) too. I think people are still figuring out the meta but these guys are good.

Also: Cloud 9's Widow is badass.

I still like stopwatch more than Blizzard's built in competitive mode.

I've been watching some bits of tournament play, but not too much. Could do with watching more though

I see some of that stacking as successful in normal play too. Some tanks or healers just succeed at different forms of strategy that can be helpful based on the map or objective you're on.
Winston or D.Va are great at what they do, but sometimes Reinhardt is necessary to really make a push.
Or Mercy is great but Lucio can succeed in being less of a target and healing more than 1 char at a time

It's still early too. So I'm probably not 100% right on this either

Here's the last map of Overkill.GG's grand final. Cloud 9 is especially worth paying attention too but it's a great game. Very long stream. Linked to the very end. There's lots of other good stuff in there.

Edit: That's the second to last map, but I'm too lazy to fix it.

You're that noob on my team who takes my Tracer after I've already locked in, and then proceeds to get shredded, aren't you? ;)

I just had some ggs. Like 10 "just one more" rounds.

A-MEI-zing. Are you playing on PS4? How's that experience? I assume it runs well.
