When players are matched up against a good Tracer player, it may seem like she is impossible to deal with. With her good burst damage and high mobility, she can easily make picks onto targets that are separated from their team. She can even sneak up behind an enemy, pick up a quick kill, then back out with her Recall. It may seem difficult, but she most certainly can be beaten. In order to help players better understand what heroes to pick into this matchup, here are 3 heroes that counter Tracer.

Tracer counter #3: McCree

When trying to kill Tracer, McCree will certainly have some difficulty at first. While his attacks are powerful, they have to be carefully aimed, and with Tracer’s high mobility, this can be difficult. However, there is a way to get around that disadvantage. If McCree can wait until Tracer is close enough to him, he can easily use his Flashbang to stun her in place. Once she is immobilized, she becomes a much easier target to kill.

It is important for McCree to be vigilant and try to watch out for Tracer. Not every hero on a team can deal with her, so when going against her it is important for McCree players to focus on her. If not, she can easily get out of control and take out multiple enemies to push for a win. 

Tracer counter #2: Winston

Being one of the more mobile tanks in the game certainly has its advantages. Winston’s mobility allows him to make good engagements and chase after opponents trying to escape his clutches. Since Tracer is also very mobile, it only makes sense that Winston would be a good hero to pick into this matchup. With his Jump Pack, he can easily chase down an enemy Tracer and keep her away from his team. If Tracer is out of the equation, it is much easier for his team to pressure the enemy players. 

When hunting her, Winston can easily use his Tesla Cannon to get Tracer down to a more manageable life total. Since the ability is so easy to land, it is ideal to use it to chip in for an extra bit of damage to help keep Tracer out of the fight and away from his team. However, if things start to look bad for his allies, Winston can easily use Primal Rage to initiate a fight. After that, he can go after the hero that will cause the most trouble. If that hero happens to be Tracer, Winston will have no trouble taking her out.

Tracer counter #1: Roadhog

Another solid tank to pick into a Tracer matchup would be Roadhog. With his Take a Breather ability, he can easily go into a fight against her and make it out alive by being able to heal himself for a significant amount of health. This will practically negate any damage Tracer tries to do to him. However, in order to win a fight against a hero like her, Roadhog requires a bit of practice. 

The best way to win against a Tracer with this hero is to land his Chain Hook on her so that she is immobilized. From here he can easily use his Scrap Gun to take her out. However, this is certainly easier said than done since Tracer is so mobile that she can easily dodge his hooks, but there is a way around it. 

With such short range on her attacks, Tracer will need to get fairly close to Roadhog to try and take him out. Once she is within range, she will most likely hold her Recall for the last second. If Roadhog times his ability right and catches her off guard, he can easily land his hook and take her out so that his team can pressure their enemies and take a well-deserved win.
