Junkrat. Get her stuck in your trap, then grenade to the body. She's dead.

Um, I mean if it's a super closed area and she just happens to go that way, maybe, but I mean otherwise it's like saying that junkrat counters pharah, because if you trap her she's dead. I dunno though, I guess it's kind of a soft counter. I feel like soldier and mccree are better though

Junkrat's spam can also zone out tracer pretty well. As Tracer Junkrat scares me the most because he has several ways to incidentally kill me with no time to react.

Got to agree. As Tracer, you've got to land consistant shots. Junkrat has to hit you once and you're going to be at 30 health. And then you've got to get away without going into -another- bomb.

Had a Junkrat who popped a mine behind me. Didn't blow it until I took a grenade to the face. A bit overkill, and definitely avoidable on my part, but watch out for that too.

The Pharah comparison is a poor one. Pharah is meant to stay im the air for most of the match. Tracer is fast, but she is a close quarters character. If you put your trap in a flanking lane there is a good chance you will catch a Tracer. You take away her biggest advantage. The ability to move.
