Developer Comments: Tracer has been performing well across the board. We're making it a bit harder for her to reach high amounts of health to make sure there is still risk involved in her engagements. We're also hitting some of her Weapon focused Powers with a few buffs to her other builds. We'll be continuing to keep a very close eye on Tracer as we know she has a very strong relationship with Stadium's stat increases.

Developer Comment: Tracer’s weapon improvements have increased her overall effectiveness. Extending Recall’s cooldown reduces her uptime, especially when paired with Major perks.
Recall - Ability 2
Blast From The Past - Minor Perk
Kinetic Reload - Minor Perk
Pulse Pistols
Developer Comments: Similar to Reaper, Tracer is getting back some of the damage she lost due to past format and map concerns. Looks like she's recalled back to stronger bullets—again.
Pulse Pistol - Primary Fire
Flashback
Quantum Entanglement
Developer Comments: Reinhardt taught Tracer how to charge very short distances, if she stays low enough.
Developer Comments: Increasing duration gives players additional time to take advantage of the overhealth after recalling.
Developer Comment: Tracer has remained less threatening since the damage reduction to her Pulse Pistols. Reducing their spread will make her damage more consistent at slightly longer ranges.
Developer Comments: This is a revert to a previous nerf now that Tracer is less threatening due to Pulse Pistol damage coming down recently.
Developer Comments: There is now more downtime before Tracer can safely reengage after driving her away and Pulse Bomb will require more precision.

Developer Comments: This damage value has been changed a few times over the course of Overwatch 2 and is now back to Tracer's original damage. It was previously adjusted due to a couple of bugs with the Pulse Pistol falloff range and spread being much better than they should have.
Developer Comment: We uncovered a bug that was setting Tracer's maximum weapon spread smaller than intended. We'll be monitoring the results of this one closely, as fixing it may have a significant impact on her overall effectiveness.
Added the Hero-Specific Option:
Developer comments: We balanced Tracer’s damage in a previous patch due to an undiscovered bug regarding her Pulse Pistol’s falloff damage. The bug is resolved, so we are reverting the damage.
