Tracer's Expanded Role in Overwatch Stadium
In the recent Weekly Recall, Blizzard Entertainment provided insights into the development of Tracer's abilities in Overwatch Stadium. The team aimed to enhance Tracer's core fantasy of speed and time manipulation while also expanding her role to include more supportive capabilities for her teammates.
New Abilities: Temporal and Alternate Ending
Among the new powers introduced, Temporal allows an ally to interact with a portal created by Tracer when she uses her Recall ability. This innovative mechanic enables allies to benefit from Tracer's time-bending skills without forcing them to rely solely on her actions. Additionally, the Alternate Ending power offers a healing mechanic, restoring up to 75% of damage taken by enemies within a six-meter radius over the last three seconds, reinforcing Tracer's clutch playstyle.
Educational Aspects for New Players
Blizzard is also focusing on player education through Tracer's new abilities. The Quantum Clip power increases the maximum ammo capacity and rewards players with lifesteal when they use Blink while reloading. This feature is designed to help newer players learn advanced techniques that high-level Tracer players already utilize, promoting skill development in both Stadium and core game modes.
