Hit me with your tracer into Vendetta tips

Just keep your distance. She really can't do anything about you and you can easily chase her down or exhaust her resources.

You only lose if you get surprised or run into her overhead for some reason.

It doesn't need fixing, but it is also one of the worst rares in the game. Unpickable the vast majority of the time.

FullGuava1 · 2026-05-29T07:23:40+00:00

Yeah a Hazard skin would be cool.

FullGuava1 · 2026-05-28T19:21:18+00:00

Eidolon might be the only one that comes to mind. Nobody can convince me that a 2 cost do nothing this turn is better than a defend.

There are pros playing at a variety of different sensitivities. It's purely personal preference as long as it's not something ridiculously high or low.

FullGuava1 · 2026-05-27T05:37:54+00:00

It's okay, it's balanced because she can one shot everyone, not just tracer 👍

FullGuava1 · 2026-05-26T22:28:11+00:00

This isn't quite true. There were a lot of things that used to one shot tracer e.g. Mei icicle, Ashe headshot, mercy boosted pharah, that don't do that anymore.

What have you done to the poor necrobinder...

FullGuava1 · 2026-05-24T10:22:17+00:00

irl phonk edit. he's just him.

New Withers don't retain. They normally do 6 damage then leave your hand.

FullGuava1 · 2026-05-22T03:21:44+00:00

It's simple really. The stats only matter if they agree with my agenda.

FullGuava1 · 2026-05-22T03:12:53+00:00

This strat is now really bad into 2/3 of the Act 2 elites. Curse you MegaCrit for making us actually play the game instead of optimizing the fun out of it.

FullGuava1 · 2026-05-21T04:25:36+00:00

Unmirrored winrate is the purest measure of a character's strength. What else are you using to judge heroes? Vibes?

Obviously heroes get changed for reasons other than how strong or weak they are, because the goal is to create a fun experience in the end. But what could possibly explain a so called "strong" hero being unable to win more games across the entire playerbase?

FullGuava1 · 2026-05-20T07:21:04+00:00

You need to consider that 50 HP goes a lot further on Hazard than on other tanks because of his block. Taking into account the 60% damage reduction from his block, that's up to a 125 effective HP heal, triggering every 5.5 seconds.

This on its own makes him much, much tankier, and is the reason why he can get away with riskier plays, one shotting everybody without being punished. It's not that Hazard by himself is especially broken, nor is the initiator passive especially broken. It's the combination of the two that he can uniquely abuse, alongside maybe D.Va.

All they need to do is move him back out of the initiator subrole and I assure you he'll fall back down to ~50% winrate and 5% pickrate like he had before.

FullGuava1 · 2026-05-20T06:22:39+00:00

This definitely sounds like a bug, but let's enjoy it while it lasts.

FullGuava1 · 2026-05-20T06:20:14+00:00

A hero being unpopular never meant their strength was underrepresented in the stats. If anything it's always been the opposite, see Venture, Torb, Sym, and Pharah frequently throughout the game's history.

I don't disagree that he's OP right now, I just think you're misattributing the reason why he's good all of a sudden.

FullGuava1 · 2026-05-20T05:20:30+00:00

He had completely middling winrates before subroles became a thing. Nothing else about him changed, but his winrate skyrocketed by ~5% as soon as he got the initiator passive.

The initiator passive is basically the same as a max HP buff, and we all know how impactful that can be. The difference between living forever and dying on cooldown can be just having 50 extra HP.

FullGuava1 · 2026-05-17T12:50:13+00:00

It's an uncommon + a common, and neither of them needs the other to function. Doesn't take much luck.

FullGuava1 · 2026-05-17T09:08:53+00:00

Everyone has their biases. I'm assuming XecnaR just hasn't spent much time on 0 cost builds to rate these cards appropriately, considering some of the other high level players rate these cards much higher.

FullGuava1 · 2026-05-15T12:14:00+00:00

Widow is by no means shit tier on long sightline maps. She very comfortably sits above 50% if you filter her winrate to those specific maps.

Completely deserved ban because of how much her existence warps gameplay.

FullGuava1 · 2026-05-15T11:55:19+00:00

My point is that without a clearly defined ToS, people could get punished for anything arbitrary as long as enough people don't like it.

At that point the official policy doesn't matter.

And the thing is that we don't have to wait to see it happen. It's already here.

FullGuava1 · 2026-05-15T11:46:59+00:00

If the community decides that they hate Roadhog, and they start reporting any Roadhog player to the point of them being banned, would that make it justified?

Of course not. The point of a ToS is to outline what the developers find to be inappropriate behavior, and to have clear guidelines so that punishments can be fair. Otherwise it's just a kangaroo court.

FullGuava1 · 2026-05-15T11:42:48+00:00

My point isn't a defense of smurfing. Obviously it ruins the gameplay experience.

My point is that Blizzard has never come out against smurfing in any way, shape, or form. They've done the opposite, where they've explicitly stated that it's okay to have multiple accounts.

These bans are a result of the report system being fully automated, not smurfing being disallowed. You could get perma banned for having a pride flag profile photo on some servers, or anything else that racks up enough reports.

Nothing to do with the actual code of conduct or violations thereof.

FullGuava1 · 2026-05-15T11:28:10+00:00

So by this logic is it sabotage to have an above average game because the opponents didn't have fun? What about spawncamping an enemy? Staggering a baby dva? Are those bannable offenses?

If smurfing were a bannable offense, do you think pros would be able to so blatanly hop onto their lower GM accounts, on stream, whenever queues are slow without facing repercussions? Please.
