i wish they’d make tracy playable again 😭😭😭 it sucks that she’s been nerfed to the point where she’s not fun to play…. I play her out of love for her character + her cute skins but alas!!! I miss when she was fun to play and her skills + the talent it took to play her were even

[@Im.notFamous939]

What’s her nerf? Sorry I’m not really new with nerfs buffs etc

[@the_lilac_lady8960]

@@Im.notFamous939it’s quite a lot but to summarise, her decoding buff when no one is injured is now only 10% from 20% and when someone is injured she loses that 10% decoding buff and get a -35% slow decoding that stacks up 2 times for -70% decoding speed. Her bot only decodes at Normal speed now. She no longer gives everyone the + 3% decoding speed. When chaired or downed the drainage on the amount of bot used is doubled. So it depletes quicker. But her vaulting speed is now only -15% from -25% or -30%

​@@the_lilac_lady8960Wtf happened to Tracy, she used to be a long time meta all these seasons and even a top pick tournament, man this is just disappointing as someone who joined idv at season 11 because of her skill and appearance

[@the_lilac_lady8960]

@@poppy4207 yeah it is a shame what happened to her, but because she was used so much in tournaments and she enabled rescuers to decode faster, they had to nerf her. But then they released, aeroplanist and prisoner who do Tracey’s job but better. That’s why aero is used in tournaments now.

[@Im.notFamous939]

@@the_lilac_lady8960 bro what’s the point of her 😭

[@ohheyfullmetal]

I really wish they would stop nerfing her :( her skins are so cute but i just have not been able to play her because of how badly they've nerfed her lately. I also haven't seen Tracy players in general since they changed her so much.

[@Many_Fandoms]

I feel bad for mechanic not a lot of people play her because of slow she is and her decoding which a lot people think mechanic isn’t the best 😭

[@Suscistickiyer]

If netease see this PLS BUFF MECHANIC

[@X_XwolftailX_X]

putting the doll by the exit gate is really helpful plus the hunter gets really mad because they thought they would win XD

[@maxxyya]

YAAAY MECHANIC GAMEPLAY!!!!! i was talking in idv chat w u and abt how hype i was for a mech video HEHE

[@skell.v]

I mean I still play her in rank all the time but her nerf is just so bad to play with when the whole point for the Hunter is to damage survivors 😭😭

[@sybxsm482]

Mechanic hard to play yet got the best skins 😂

[@mr.potato2399]

2 things to note: 1) When kiting a Geisha and successfully throwing down a pallet without getting hit, it’s best to stare at her to prevent her from teleporting through the pallet. It’ll almost always work without first presence. 2) If you manage to stun a hunter with a pallet, never (especially as a defenseless decoder or no pallets nearby) just stand there and wait for the hunter to recover. Your first priority is always to create as much distance as possible.

[@commonlyfakeq7349]

Talents still matter

[@Evalora]

on 1: geisha could almost never dash across a pallet/window while stared at by a surv, the recent change to her dash logic made her SUBSTANTIALLY better at getting across obstacles (so much so it was a massive buff) so people've yet to adjust on 2: raw distance means very little to geisha, transition = get hit, tight kite = maybe don't get hit

[@mr.potato2399]

@@Evalora 1) Geisha full presence was so fast with her dashes that even looking at her will still not work in preventing her from dashing past obstacles. It didn’t work even pre buff. 2) Whilst it may be true that distance means little against a geisha, a pallet stun buys enough time for her to transition away and buy more time for her team. Also it’s certainly a much more viable option than just standing there. If she had transitioned away, Geisha would’ve been forced to use her skill to dash through the pallet, break the pallet, or go all around the pallet, all decisions giving her even more time to even leave the area altogether.

[@Evalora]

@@mr.potato2399 wow a hunter actually starts to function somewhat in being a pure chase hunter at 2500 presence, what a wonder - unfortunately you need to actually get there in the first place and nobody runs insolence on geisha so first kill target will almost always be 0 to 2000 presence for first chase + first potential rebound regardless there's countless tournament matches of even 2500 geishas getting rubber-banded back in tight kiting that says otherwise

[@mr.potato2399]

@@Evalora I have no idea if you’re on my side or not… but like also what does insolence have anything to do with this conversation?

[@Kysrantaro34]

70%debuff is crazy

[@Choochootrain477]

What was her nerfs? I don’t know about them

[@TracyBun]

they gave her like 20+ over the years 😭 they nerfed the bots duration a few times and also nerfed her decoding

[@Erixisluv]

Yeah I love her collab skins but if she loses the bot early then the game becomes much longer and give the hunter more time to kill us off

[@Epsity]

What’s your persona build on her?

[@TracyBun]

i usually use borrowed time + broken windows unless there's no rescuers on the team, then i'll use tide and borrowed time

[@Epsity]

@@TracyBun thank you!

[@tuinhvan6634]

[@TracyBun]
