Tracer is a Damage character in Overwatch 2, that can be quite hard to counter. Her Blink and Recall abilities make her harder to catch for snipers or characters like Roadhog. But there are a few things that you can do to stop her. So in this guide let us check the best counters for Tracer in Overwatch 2.
How to Counter Tracer in Overwatch 2 – Best Heroes
Tracer can be countered if you have characters in your team that can keep up with her. Thus these 3 characters are the best to use against her:
- Winston
- Sombra
- Torbjorn
Winston – Best Hero to Counter Tracer in Overwatch 2
Winston is a very mobile character considering he is a tank. So while Tracer can run around the map, Winston can very easily chase her. But when playing as Winston you don’t have to run after Tracer. Instead, you have to be prepared to attack her when she tries to flank. Correctly timing your Jumps and using your Tesla Cannon can take away her chunk of health. Using Primal Rage correctly can also help you finish her off.
But when playing as Winston you should focus more on disrupting her play. If you can get the kill it is good, else you should coordinate with your team so that they can finish her when she uses Recall.
Sombra
Sombra is an excellent counter to Tracer for a 1v1 fight. She can use her Hack to disable her abilities, thus preventing her from using Blink or Recall. Now since both these characters are of the Damage class. You will have to fight each other to eliminate the other. But since your Hack might still be in effect, as Sombra you can finish her off a lot quicker before she gets to end you.
Torbjorn
Torbjorn is neither as fast as Winston, nor has any disabling abilities like Sombra. But Torbjorn has his Turret, which can surprisingly counter Tracer. Its turret has a hitscan type of firing which can follow her around and shoot if she is in its range. The best part is, it stays deployed until destroyed, and you can even repair it using Forge Hammer.
