Tracer has 150 health

Widow bodyshot was nerfed to 120
Charged bow is 125
Fire strike does 100
Rocket direct hits do 120 for both Pharah and Soldier
Grenade direct hits do 120

You shouldn't be dying in one hit, and she does have an ability that rewinds all damage every 12 seconds. A good tracer is really difficult to kill because you'll land something like a direct hit on her after she blinks past half your projectiles, she rewinds it, and can keep blinking.

mei headshots oneshot tracer from full health

her alt fire does 75 damage, 150 on a headshot

e: also, obviously all of those things you mentioned will kill tracer in one hit while being damage boosted by a mercy (except firestrike)

Let's see... Overwatch was released on May 24th, which was 55 days ago on this day, so 376 divided by 55 is...

7 hours of Overwatch daily since release, every single day of the week. That's 49 hours of Overwatch a week which translates literally to clocking in more hours than a full time job.

That's impressive.

It's actually much worse than that, because Overwatch's "time played" stat doesn't count anything but time in a match

time queued/in menus definitely doesn't count, and I'm like 70% sure pre-match prep time doesn't count either

Must've botched it then. Probably because D.va was in front so I assume she caught the full blast, hit the guys behind her, and didn't go anywhere while they blew me apart. Ah well, would've been glorious if it worked so I have no regerts.

The range on his boop is really short, you probably didn't hit the guys behind her.

If Mei manages to headshot a Tracer with her M2, she earned that kill. And if someone is being damage boosted by a Mercy, that means you're getting hit by two characters worth of damage (more like one and a half characters worth, really, but Mercy still takes up a full slot).

I've been experimenting with dual support in comp games and have fallen in love with Mercy + Lucio + 76 + Reinhart + Pharah + ____________. The blank being filled by Reaper, Junkrat, Roadhog, or Zarya.

Teaming up with Lucio let's Mercy use her damage beam more often and it rules.

D.Va's mech takes damage when you are climbing in. D.Va herself takes damage if you shoot her while she is getting into the mech. To avoid this, use your mech calldown to kill the player you are fighting.

So in the updated patch notes on Overpwn, they crossed out hte Mercy buff beam damage increase (30 to 50). What does crossing it out mean? Did they remove the buff from the PTR patch? The dev commentary still says it was buffed.

Poke damage is my guess. Unless you are godlike and you can just be fully aggro.

Jumping around like a lunatic, trying not to die, and filling the air with your laser bullets killing everyone until your mech comes back. Her pistol is pretty good.

Run and jump around like crazy and poke poke poke. Your pistol is surprisingly good. The ult for mech recall also fills up pretty fast.

It was removed from the PTR, yes. People figured out that a boosted McCree headshot (at +50%) would deal 210 damage, which is rather critically unfun to go up against.

D.VAs pistol is hilariously good. If you have a Reinhardt in your team fall back behind his shield and just blast the everliving poo poo of the other team until you can jump back into your meka.
If you can't, just fall back and poke people from range to get charge, if you can find a sightline you can be annoying as hell.

This. The only time I've seen someone complain about comp in PTR they were immediately told to gently caress off by everyone else on the team.

D.Va protip: punch people when you ram them with your jets.

When you're on foot just try to get behind your team and plink at people. The pistol has no dropoff (I think?) so you're actually really good for firing down long open areas to plink people / kill turrets or bastions. Hanamura B and Anubis B for instance. Sometimes jumping right back in your mech the moment you can is actually a mistake. If you're safe behind a rein shield and landing hits with your pistol feel free to wait on the mech until your team is pushing in together.

I've become depressingly good at sniping Junkrat Tires with Firestrike, because that's the only way Reinhardt gets out of the blast radius.
