If you separate gameplay from her character he's actually kind of right I think.

She's just about making that face and being excited all the time. A lot like the characters being poked fun at in that image.

Is your second point why you think she should be considered a good character?

Yes, because when you're good as her you can do great things, but she's not an easy character to get real good at it so just like Genji if you get good as her it's rewarding.

And again a competent team can destroy a good Tracer i'm not suggesting being OP which she isn't is good.

How come they just don't limit her super blast radius and distance she can fly instead of swapping armor and health as well as lower bullet damage?



Edit - see nothing in OP

Is this event getting a new game mode?
Yeah, a capture the flag mode.

I like Tracer. No other character informs us about the current location of the calvalry.
lol

I'm just curious since I don't play/own this game. With all the events it gets, what do the updates/patches look like? Are they big? I assume there's one at least every two weeks, right?

I love what I saw from that trailer, so I hope I can get Mei's Legendary skin. It is weird to see her without her winter gloves on, though.

I hate to break it to you British guys, but Tracer sounds like a normal Brit. You all sound like that to us. *pats pats*

Heh, I've never really understood why some take umbrage to her voice. It's obviously exaggerated and goofy, but that fits with the OW vibe. Reinhardt and Junkrat are probably as far away from regular Germans/Aussies in terms of how OTT they are.

But, if you don't like the voice, fair enough. I find the Mockney accent more amusing than anything else, and I say that as a Brit. Your mileage may vary I suppose.

To answer why I like Tracer: She's bubbly and optimistic, but not hopelessly naive, and I just find her charming. Her interactions with characters like Winston are cute as well. I appreciate her outlook and personality - I feel it contrasts well with a lot of female characters in gaming.

On a more personal note, I also think she has the potential to be a great example of a LGBT character in games. I was ecstatic when Blizzard confirmed that she was gay - not because of some shipping shtick or whatever, but because she's a relatively normal and pleasant individual in her own right. I hope Blizzard reference it in-game soon.

Plus - she's a lot of fun to play. You can feel unstoppable when you get into a rhythm with her, and her playstyle consistently keeps things exciting.

Has anyone started to hear players bantering while the fight is happening

I play Pharah and recently if I kill a Reinhardt on the field, she will literally "Sorry Reinhardt"

I know Tracer has it when she kills Reaper and mocks him

I'm really hoping they add more during this event just like they did with Winter Wonderland
Love all the talk that takes place during character select time, but also now during fights

I need the event to start so I can play. I don't want to level up without getting the event box.



Buffing Sym? What?

buffing her and torb turrets on consoles only

Turrets, I think it was her and Torb getting looked at Turret wise

She's crazy good already, throw her shield stay behind it, link up with enemy, buzz till elimination


Today I saw in Mystery Heroes 3 Symms, 2 Torbs, never want to experience that ever again
We couldn't kill them
All 3 had Shield+ and Torb armor
Turrets protecting flank like crazy and the generators/turrets

I might have misheard but I think Tracer says "sorry Angela" when she kills Mercy. Could've been there since the beginning but didn't notice.
Does anyone have a list of the new spawn room interactions/dialogue between the characters?

Yeah, I specifically heard that voice line after killing Reinhardt.

It's a really nice touch, I love it.

Hi everyone,


The game has MUCH better heroes than some lame shooting mech thing that eats almost all the damage in the game, and has the most boring 'weapons' in the game, takes for fucking ever to kill, and even when you kill it you have to deal with some tiny hitbox little pest.

I'm confident you can find a hero that is 100x more fun to play. Dva being that good was bad for the game.

Good luck :)


...but you're saying this while having one of the game's most boring characters as your avatar. I'm confused.

My avatar isn't Mercy Soldier or Dva so how can that be?

Lucio is amazingly fun. Obviously that's just as much of an opinion as saying those other three are boring, but speed boost and boops, Lucio is awesome.
