TRACER HERO COUNTERS
Tracer Blinks behind your supports, empties a clip in 1 second, and Recalls to safety. Stopping her requires heroes who either survive the burst or punish her predictable Recall timing. She always Recalls to where she was 3 seconds ago. If you track that position, you can pre-aim it and kill her the frame she reappears. Torbjorn turret and Brigitte also work because they don't need precise aim against her tiny hitbox.
Tracer's top counters are Reaper, Lifeweaver, and Reinhardt.

Ability 1BlinkTracer zips horizontally through space in the direction she’s moving, and reappears several yards away. She stores up to three charges of the blink ability and generates more every few seconds.
Ability 2RecallTracer bounds backward in time, returning her health, ammo and position on the map to precisely where they were 3 seconds before.
UltimatePulse BombTracer lobs a large bomb that adheres to any surface or unfortunate opponent it lands on. After a brief delay (2 seconds), the bomb explodes, dealing high damage to all enemies within its blast radius.

Reaper, Reinhardt, and Widowmaker handle Tracer in different ways. Reaper's shotgun spread hits her tiny hitbox reliably at close range and lifesteal keeps him alive through her burst. Reinhardt just swings hammer in her general direction and connects because the cleave arc is wide. Widowmaker one-shots her with a body shot at full charge (120 damage vs Tracer's 150 HP).
Tracer sits at C Tier right now with a 50.1% win rate and 6.1% pick rate across all ranks. Below average in the current patch. You can still win with Tracer but the meta favors other damages.
Track Recall position. Tracer always returns to where she stood 3 seconds ago when she presses Recall. Pre-aim that spot and shoot the moment she reappears. Also, stick with teammates. Tracer picks isolated supports but can't one-clip through two people crossfiring her.
150 HP. Lowest HP in the game. One headshot from most heroes kills her or forces Recall. She also has no vertical mobility, so high ground is genuinely safe from Tracer flanks unless she Blinks up a staircase. Recall has a 12-second cooldown, and without it she dies to any focused damage.
Reinhardt hammer swing hits Tracer through Blink because the arc is too wide to dodge. Doomfist Seismic Slam catches her and the combo one-shots 150 HP. Winston Tesla Cannon auto-tracks her and Jump Pack chases Recall.
Reaper one-shots her with a clean shotgun blast at close range. Widowmaker body shot at full charge kills from across the map. Genji can match her mobility and shurikens plus dash kills 150 HP. Emre burst rifle drops her in one burst if he lands it.
Lifeweaver Life Grip yanks Tracer's target to safety mid-clip, wasting her one-second damage window entirely. Brigitte Shield Bash stuns her out of Blink chains and Inspire passive heals chip damage. Mizuki Binding Chain roots her in place.
