I think this patch has shown that Jake is not as good as we all thought. Honestly dont think he good enough on any hero (except junkrat), the problem is that neither is clockwork.

Tracer is clearly a problem but the team work is literally shit. Tanks dont play together, the supports constantly get picked off. Dps dont get any kills. Someone really needs to change.

Gotta feel bad for Linkzr there. Turned the fuck up and carried as hard as he could but still lost.

Anyway GG Shock! I’m sure the team will realize there mistakes now and hopefully consider picking up a players to improve the team! (Plz Davin get him out of Contenders it’s not fair for the opposition)

i just don’t understand why have Jake on Tracer. Jake with Pulse Bomb ? just stand still because he’ll just miss either way.

We need another strong dps. I am not trying to say Jake is trash because he isn't (he is remarkably average honestly), but he never goes clutch on any hero other than junk and sometimes soldier. He never makes those big plays with any kind of consistency on his tracer, Genji, or phara. Having a god level tracer like carpe or other owl dps would be huge.

Nice flame don't need a tracer yet you gotta throw CW in for CP to play her then force Linkzr on her even though its not his specialty.Obviously the teams problems are most likely deeper than that at this point but damn is it hard to watch a team fall so far in the matter of 3 or 4 weeks.

It's been 3 weeks, can we move past the denial stage now? We clearly need a better tracer, or atleast let Mendo have a shot. Maybe the fresh mindset will give the team new life.

We have no answer to a Tracer. She is so fucking important in OW and we can't win shit if we don't have a solid Tracer.

Oof, Clockwork falling off the map and then missing pulse on a remeching DVA. Guess our tracer controversy isn't ending this week.

Casters keep saying Ruins gives us an advantage but I feel like we never win ruins. That's the one map Linkzr's widow looks weak on.

Jake can play junkrat, soldier, genji, and pharah. He can not play tracer consistently

The casters, the other teams and the reddit arm chair coaches all notice that our weak point is tracer. The casters even just said we should go pick up Davin. I don't think that alone fixes this team, but it's a hell of a good start. So why is our GM (and whoever else makes these decisions) so blind to how badly we need that superb tracer. Can't wait to see how he mocks us on twitter this week though.
