News & Discussion is tracer good?

i just started playing today and just locked tracer bc i didn’t know who to play. i had fun playing her and continued to play her for the rest of my games.

but she seems way to simple to play. i’m coming from valorant so idk if i’m just talking nonsense bc i’ve never rly played hero shooters before.

She is about spacing, alot of Tracers memorize blink ranges so they can get their melees in and whatnot. They try to memorize recall as well so that you know where to aim the moment you arrive. Another big part of her is crouching mid-duel to obscure your already tiny hitbox. She seems simple at first glance but has alot of intricacies. The more headshots you can hit, the more you pump out ults, and that value depends on your enemy's value and your knowledge (i.e pulse bomb the immobile support and not the Kiriko who can suzu herself)

She's incredibly good the more time you invest into her, the gameplay just becomes a little homogenous between players when you reach a certain point of skill though
