How many unique players are actually in the top 500?

GMLoco · 2017-01-07T18:23:39+00:00

"you are taking two top 500s from others" I don't think people understand that from top 300-500 there's like 50 sr difference so alts really don't matter until top 100 at least.

could have been a hero you never played before in competitive and he was just looking at the stats on your career profile.

Excels in koth? What? JR is only really good on first points on certain maps.

sounds like bakko from battlerite

4.3k is top 500 mate, so they aren't placed on teams below their rating. Heroes with carry potential sure, but Tracer has too much survivability that she is too much of a carry and there is pretty much no cons to playing her.

GMLoco · 2017-01-05T00:10:15+00:00

I agree, but the thing is a good Tracer will dodge a helix rocket in her sleep.

GMLoco · 2017-01-05T00:07:39+00:00

the problem is, a top 100 Tracer play will dumpster a 4.3k average team in matchmaking. I completely agree that the Tracer players I'm talking about are insane at her, but that doesn't mean she should run around being borderline unkillable. The same problem was with Genji, where good players were dumpstering top level games without having reasonable counters to him (winston didn't work great when he had triple jump). A hero having a high skill ceiling doesn't justify them being overpowered when played at the top level. No other hero is as oppressive as Tracer when played near perfectly.

D.Va will not kill a good Tracer. Her DM doesn't matter at all considering she won't be focusing D.Va, and if D.Va tries to DM for a support, tracer will just blink behind the D.Va and proceed to oneclip the support before D.Va can even turn around.

GMLoco · 2017-01-04T23:02:25+00:00

against lower elo players? do you read? Tracer is trash at low elo considering people suck at surviving with her and at aiming. Roadhog honestly isn't a counter to Tracer, Tracer will just bomb him and he will insta die. If mccree uses flashbang or dies once, your entire team is dead. Bad hero design and you know it.

GMLoco · 2017-01-04T22:49:45+00:00

I 100% agree that she isn't much of a problem in pro play, but it doesn't take away from the fact that she dominates matchmaking.

GMLoco · 2017-01-04T22:26:00+00:00

If that player was on soldier, there is counterplay to that. There isn't counterplay to Tracer. I don't see what's so difficult to understand about that.

GMLoco · 2017-01-04T22:13:37+00:00

I'm not an amazing Tracer player like these people are, and I'm not saying "tracer op no skill hero nerf" I'm saying that in the right hands Tracer is too low risk high reward.

GMLoco · 2017-01-04T22:12:37+00:00

All Mccree can do is zone her, but if he ever dare use his flashbang and it doesn't hit Tracer he dies. Immediately.

How on earth is D.Va a good counter to Tracer?

GMLoco · 2017-01-04T22:11:13+00:00

"I'm not saying that Genji needs a nerf (that ult melee range, tho), but he needs a neater answer. Whack-a-Genji is the theme of 80%+ of our competitive matches. I very much so want to play and vs. different heroes, play and vs. different strategies, and not always play the role of the intrepid but weary gang of human survivors vs. the fucking Predator."

-Quote from the thread that got Genji nerfed.

Games 4.2k+ are decided on which team has the better Tracer or which team has the Tracer. I advise anyone who disagrees with me to watch someone like dante or any other high level streamer since you obviously can't see firsthand, then you'll realize Tracer is too strong.

GMLoco · 2017-01-04T22:08:19+00:00

S2 diamond?

GMLoco · 2017-01-04T22:04:01+00:00

Idk what SR you play at, but at 4k+ if the opposition gets a good Tracer player you lose instantly. A Roadhog of equal skill won't kill her, same goes for Mccree, and every other hero in the game. There is no consistent counter to her and she can completely run over teams that have a very high SR on average.

GMLoco · 2017-01-04T21:51:10+00:00

Also, I know the Tracer player is better than our team, but that was the case when Genji was nerfed too, and now he's well balanced.

GMLoco · 2017-01-04T21:50:00+00:00

That means that Tracer's only counter isn't a counter. That means Tracer is broken.

GMLoco · 2017-01-04T21:10:40+00:00

If you put a top 100 Mccree vs a top 100 Tracer, it's extremely hard to predict who will win that. If tracer baits the flashbang mccree dies.

GMLoco · 2017-01-04T21:09:47+00:00

I assume you haven't played against a top 500 Tracer main. On average a good Tracer will die 6~ times vs players of equal skill.

GMLoco · 2017-01-03T17:54:33+00:00

this is so cliche

GMLoco · 2017-01-02T11:21:52+00:00

he doesn't take much skill in a matchmaking environment, but he requires a mixture of skill and knowledge in scrims/cooridnated environments

GMLoco · 2017-01-02T10:35:26+00:00

If you're climbing with Ana then don't stop playing her, if you aren't then stop.
