It offers different gamers a refined however discernible visible cue exhibiting what route Tracer is blinking in. It’s a quality-of-life change meant to assist individuals observe her after she blinks at shut distances, which may be troublesome within the midst of all of the chaos that unfolds in a group struggle.
Tracer mains might not like it. She has the bottom well being pool, so making her simpler to trace means she’ll run into bother extra typically, particularly in low to mid rank video games. The suggestions from everybody else, nonetheless, has been overwhelmingly optimistic.
Those that have had bother monitoring Tracer at shut distances praised the change, describing it as “amazing.” One participant even stated that, whereas it wasn’t very onerous for larger ranked Overwatch gamers to trace her on this situation already, it’s still a nice visual change that looks cool, so there’s no complaints there.
