Tracer is just way too easy to play at plat-diamond-master level (ranks 1-10). Like Li Ming, she's very forgiving and very efficient.
And she's obviously imba at this level as Hotslogs shows, even if I don't care about her at all. I mostly played vs bad Tracers and they had a huge impact on every game.
And she's OP as fuck vs block, and especially vs Murky (breaks block too quickly, kills the fish in 1 second).
And the Egg killing bug/feature makes it impossible to play Murky nowadays
70% winrate against Murky .... Murgl murgl :/

Playing Valla, Tyrael, Illidan, or any other mobility heroes against her just feels sad (admittedly I am bad with illidan vs most people, but my valla is level 18). It feels like my skills or health or damage are reduced due to my mobility, which now is completely useless since I can neither engage nor escape better than anyone else!
Zeratul with Vorpal Blades/Wormhole is the only Hero mobile enough to catch Tracer, imo. Everyone else just has to rely on good positioning and poking her out before she can get the big damage in. Illidan is horrendous against her.

Was so awesome  We played Tracer, Monk, Illidan, Chen and Falstad. The slightest missposition from an enemy meant he had 5 ppl dashing for him and you couldn't get away from us ^^
If League of Legends has any sort of pattern to it, it means that a tank meta will necessarily follow.

First Look: Balance Update Coming This Week
Blizzard Entertainment 5/2/2016
84
We’re planning to release a new Balance Update for Heroes of the Storm on Wednesday, May 4, in order to apply a few balance changes. Read on for the complete list of changes we’ll be making with this week’s Balance Update.
Tracer
- Health decreased from 1270 (+4% per level) to 1206 (+4% per level).
- Health Regeneration decreased from 5.25 (+4% per level) to approximately 5.02 (+4% per level) Health per second.
- Basic Attack damage reduced from 29 (+4% per level) to 27 (+4% per level).
- Focus Fire (Talent)
- Final shot damage bonus increased from 30% to 35% of the total magazine’s damage.
- Locked and Loaded (Talent)
- Damage bonus increased from 35% to 40%.
- Melee (W)
- Pulse Strike (Talent)
- Pulse Bomb charge bonus increased from 15% to 20%.
- Recall (E)
- Cooldown increased from 24 to 26 seconds.
- Slipstream (Talent)
Cooldown reduction decreased from 4 to 2 seconds.
Developer Comments: As we’re sure many of you have noticed, Tracer is performing just a little too well on all fronts. While we are excited to bring her to the Nexus, we understand that in the right hands, she can be an absolute terror to the enemy team. We’re lowering her Health, Basic Attack damage, and increasing Recall’s cooldown to make her less universally powerful. We’re going to be giving back some of that Basic Attack damage on her Level 16 Talent tier to further separate Sleight of Hand from the other options, which should help the choice between more Pulse Bomb charges vs. stronger Basic Attacks feel like a more meaningful decision.
We also saw an opportunity to help improve her Talent pick rates, so we’re making minor adjustments to Pulse Strike and Slipstream.
We’ll continue to keep a close eye on her, as we believe she is similar to Illidan, where the right place from a balance perspective is more narrow than most of our other Heroes.

What does first look mean?
Very dissapointing patches these three or so weeks in a row. This one included but maybe more to come?
|
I'm guessing first look means a preview of what is coming.
|
*Crosses finger for the support patch*
|
btw support, who/ what is the next hero and will there be a new support any time soon?

We don't really know, we don't even know what other heroes are we getting before Gul'Dan(that will be available on August 30 when WoW Legion comes out).
People were talking about Kel'Thuzad few months ago, but who knows if he will be out anytime soon, and he will probably be assassin/specialist.

The problem with supports is that 1 small balance error breaks the game. Make 1 support or 1 warrior OP and the game sucks. When Rehgar was OP I went from r5 to r12 just because I didn't want to buy him or Ming so I had fewer chances to win every game.
Fortunately now we have bans.
So a support patch is really the last thing I want. I feel EVERY support is good right now, some better on some maps, or with some teams.
Tyrande, Lili, BW and Rehgar feel very allaround. Khara hard counters cloak, Malf hard counters dive (Twilight Dream + roots = dead divers), Uther is great with good frontlines, Tassadar is awesome as 2nd support, Morales is OP on stationary objectives with a good frontine and hammer/raynor...
I wouldn't touch supports if I were Blizzard. IMO supports and warriors are the most balanced classes right now. I only wish we had more choice in pure solo tanks.
|
playing support is quite dull though, ofcourse it can be fun.
But you sit back and heal for most heroes, that bloody suck.
You need to take cleanse at 7 when that tree is the most fun of them all.
Need WAY more variation for the supports, also MORE utility and MORE active play for them all. They might be balanced or not but design wise they stink long way down the road!
|
We know Arthas and Anub'arak are getting talent changes, just a matter of when.
|
if you want choice at level 7 on support, play Lili. She is pretty OP right now anyway, because she is strong against current try hard heroes. Just lacking a buff to her healing like Uther.
Health nerf on Tracer is evil, wonder if I can 100/0 her now on Nova without effort.
|
Well, it depends if snipe hits and if she has fast reaction.  IMO it won't work unless the Tracer is bad or unless you hit Snipe (master) from cloak.
Foxxan: I admit I wasn't thinking about fun when playing support, just balance. But to me supports are fun, unless your teammates suck way too much. BW and Lili are pretty intense to play, Tyrande is very fun, Tassadar too. Can't speak much for the others but they can be very fun. Lost a game vs DPS Malfurion yesterday, I can tell you this guy had the more fun amongst all 10 of us.

I would bet on several more Overwatch heroes in the near future. I would love to see Reinhardt in HOTS
|
dunno supports are very fun to play for me, but they're low impact heroes and without waveclear of play making potential you're completely reliant on your team to win games
which is a fucking liability in this game sadly
|
Would love to see that guy with the big shield from overwatch, could add some new dimensions to hots if done porperly i presume.
|
Zenyatta could be an interesting support with heal over time, amplify damage, and high damage personal in exchange for very low health and an aoe heal ultimate that makes him invulnerable while it is going off.

Reinhardt. I'd also put money on Reaper and Pharah making it into the game sooner rather than later.
