Tybaltcapulet's "Those are some weird ass notes Appel" Edges:

Speedy:I've always been on The Scout's side on this matchup, and that really doesn't change here. Everything Tracer can do, Scout either counters, or does better. Her weak ass Pulse Pistols?He can either avoid it for the most part with his dizzying mobility or tank the damage. Then there's thw Pulse Bomb which has a pretty small blast radius and isn't terribly powerful. It's the same story as the Pulse Pistols.The Chronal Accelerator is a bit of an annoyance to Scout as it allows Lena to better avoid him, but it can't be used too much or it will cease to work, cutting her off from the fight entirely. And Scout also has the Bonk! Atomic Punch which is a way safer and longer lasting escape item. Tracer can blink and recall all she wants while teying to pepper Scout with bullets. Problem is, Scout can do that too, except with a more powerful main gun, and better mobility, while also having a more versatile kit.Edge:RED Team

Veteran: Both of these two have great stamina and durability. But S:76 wins here. Soldier has some great mobility options in rocket jumping combined with the Gun Boats and is no slouch in combat, but S:76 can easily counter all of this. There's nothing Soldier can do about the Tactical Visor no matter where he tries to move, he'll get targeted and shot down. Jack can also plop down his Biotic Emitter to heal allies, and has the more consistently damaging Pulse Rifle, with rockets of it's own. Just like Tracer vs Scout in reverse, S:76 can do almost everything and more that Soldier can, but with more variety.Edge:Overwatch

Fire & Ice: Finally the she-devil of Overwatch is getting her ass kicked and it feels good. I mean putting a literal Pyro against the Ice lady is a horrible idea from the start. Mei's Endothermic Blaster gets countered by the flamethrower, and so does literally everything else except Snowball, which literally anyone in RED Team can shoot and destroy. She won't be able heal herself consistently, and you can say goodbye to the Ice Walls. And Airblast? Don't even get me started on how great Airblast is. Those stupid icicles that Mei uses to finish her poor victims off are useless against the mighty Airblast. And he has the Thermal Thruster for extra mobility, and the Gas Passer for extra fire damage? Top it off with Mei's total lack of previous combat experience and this is a virtual stomp .Edge:RED Team
