As Tracer, you should keep these in your mind: (The mindset of a tracer player) 1) Your main objective is to hard push isolated and/or killable targets in the enemy’s backline with your RECALL to escape "Jail free card" Note: YOU SHOULD TIME YOUR ATTACKS SO THAT RECALL CAN STILL GET YOU BACK TO AN OFF-ANGLE. This is what happens generally when you hard engage with no recall 39:30 2) If there’s no isolated and/or killable targets, pressure whomever is pressuring your team or trying to pressure you. 3) Never, NEVER stop shooting. You can and should always find something to do. (Either point 1 or 2) 4) Blinking predictability 22:58 - "think about your blink as the extension of walking and then it will be easier. if you walk predictably you blink predictably". 5) Blink management 27:23 *6) A lot of players push hard when they see 2 or more enemies in a Zarya ult 29:50, what they don't realize is that THE FIGHT IS OVER, IN OTHER WORDS HIS TEAM IS DEAD. You can still escape as tracer instead of suiciding. Also, he saved his blinks for escaping as opposed to using them recklessly. 7) Blinking around natural cover 44:40 8) Setting up pre-game thinking 46:52 (Watch until 48:15) 9) 51:57 - 52:43, Summarized advice from Awkward Games I recommend watching thoroughly: 1) 23:00 2) Excellent game (Listen thoroughly) 46:49 (Round two hits different) 3) High-level mechanics and good thinking and awareness from Awkward game 55:20 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Watch this JakeOW Coach video of Striker’s Tracer OWL gameplay. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6uyonmsnK2SfdU

Your attitude towards learning is exceptional, your teaching style is exceptional. Your outlook on others, emotional intelligence and all that could use some work but that is ok, because like you said, for some things, we have to accept the fact that we suck and move on. (Or from my perspective: Realizing that you suck and if you don't want that, aim to better yourself. One step at a time.)

[@xcarrow2192]

I was a top 500 Tracer when the game peaked on OW 1. I hardly ever play anymore but my knowledge from my experience remains. Theres some points he missed on how to improve your tracer gameplay. First, dont shoot all the time. Tracer is the most fragile hero. Avoid bringing too much attention to yourself. The point is to be annoying yes but you have to focus on specific targets to annoy. Not just anybody at first. Healers are your top priority. Always try to find your way to annoy and potentially kill their support. He doesnt ever talk about it and his gameplay never actually shows it which causes him to be a little useless at times. Thats just poor target priority. Pulse bomb. Use it when you can, yes. Except when every decision matters in overtime. If they have a mercy, prioritize pulse bomb for when she tries to rez. Otherwise you risk wasting a pulse bomb on a target that gets rezed and its back to a 5v5. You wont always be able to one clip a mercy trying to rez so make it a 100% chance of stopping it by using your ult. Blinking. Something I learned is to try your best to absolutely avoid blinking down a straight path. Confusing how to word it. If an enemy is right in front of you, never blink straight backwards. Always blink off center your target. You become an easy target to hit when you blink parallel to your target. Hitbox. The smallest hitbox with the highest speed. Be that guy that spam crouches at times against hitscan. Makes you so hard to hit in the head. Positioning. Like I said, Tracer is fragile. This isnt about your positioning. He covered that. This is about enemy positioning. As any role, its important to keep track of enemy positions but as Tracer, you need to know all their positions as much as possible. Helps with recall position, avoiding stuns/hooks, getting minimal value because your target is just hard pocketed, etc. Damage range. God it was painful to watch how far this guy shoots his targets from at times. You have insane damage fall off. And insane one clip potential. Again, youre fragile, but maximizing your damage will get you out of harms way faster. Get up close and personal. Learn the maximum range you can one clip from and thats your goldilocks zone. Live in it. Now, for gods sake stop shooting the pocketed tank and GO FOR THE MERCY

[@goumigoumi9270]

Hey man, do you have discord ?

[@omarsharifi2587]

I was gonna say the same thing. I guess you want to "annoy" the enemy team. But in high ranks if you expose your flank, shoot far away, & deal minimal damage, it's almost always over for you because they will intensely focus you, be more likely peel for their teammates, & much more likely to kill you. The hardest part about tracer (besides aim) in my opinion is getting 1 feet away from the enemy and them not being able to hear or see you. Even if I walk & don't crouch for 1 second 20 ft away the enemy team will hear me and my surprise flank is exposed.

[@needpit1]

One advantage that you have in comparison to another new players that want to learn tracer is that you blink calculations and movements around the map are precise. You always know where are the doors, the health packs, the hallways, etc. And that is the number one reason tracer gets killed, they blink into a wall. Can you give a tip to master this apart of just playing more?

[@Awkward2]

Go into a Custom lobby and put infinite cooldowns and start blinking around through "complicated" areas.

Yeah I mean lol, this is why they can reach GM in two hours, they already been there, and done that. When you are trying to reach gm for the first time you arent given these teammates that at least know what they are doing; a tracer in gold cannot track that way ,so saying this is educational when you are starting from 0 with the mechanical ability of a gm, it is a ride in the park lol. They basically be saying: "look at what i can do, that you clearly cant because im already gm and stomping lower ranks xD"

@@ecciq I met a lot of good tracers that are not smurf, they existed ofc, but there are something that you can only see more on gm level. For example, constant animation cancel, 1 clipping even while I'm strafing and have some heal on me? Yeah, they don't belong to my rank. There's a difference between me getting 1 clip while im running in a single line or standing still (playing scope heroes) etc, and me strafing around; the speed acceleration and fast-changing of direction in this game are very punishing for the opponent to consistently aim, especially high spread tracking or a single burst. Non-smurf good tracers can have good games and get tons of value, but you don't see the technical side, movement and aim after re-watching some vods. Most people only watch vods where they excel at a game, but rarely do they watch a game where they got completely dominated by the enemy,.

would be the perfect time for it with the nerfs that are coming

[@Mcsteezertonn]

the most impressive part of these is awk’s map knowledge. being able to walk in and out of doorways without even looking is a huge part of his positioning.

[@bignickenergy2042]

Lol when i play tracer the supports are so cracked out of their minds and have endless escapes and then their whole team turns on me kills me😂

I would REALLY love to see you do an Ashe unranked to GM. In my opinion, she's the hardest DPS to do it with. But also, she's my main, so selfishly, I want to see it for primarily that reason bc it would help me so much.

[@tagadaki]

Ashe is fucking strong mate, you can down snipers, you can fight close range if you don't scope, you have verticality which is also an escape, you have your mine to build fast your ult on several people, and if throw all you ammo on a tank he will just disappear. I regret I don't play her that much anymore because she s soooo goood ! I like playing mccree, but the falloff damage is sometimes annoying if your team is a bit passive. With her you can get picks even from a far distance if you feel your team is a bit scared, and you can also follow them mid range if they push. The only caracter that annoys her will be Hanzo because of his mobility, and you are a bit too static when you're aiming with Ashe. The only thing I dont like about her is the time for reload, but she would be fucking broken without this.

“If the support is looking at you they have no healing” what he really means is that if the support is looking at you they have less DAMAGE

[@Jakobo-rs1cg]

actually crazy, cant wait for the next one(you have to do genji next)

10:51 what happens to me & everyone else who plays tracer lol 😂

[@ПетрОсьмин]

Nobody: How many characters do you play as a top-1 player? Awkward: Yes

[@WasBad-qb6pd]

I’d love to see Winston unranked to gm, he has so many counters

[@james1280]

He won't do it because he knows how long it will take

[@tvxic19]

winston only has 5 counters? bastion, reaper, dva, and junker queen, and ana. If he did do it then I doubt he'd struggle, maybe in the unranked games but anything above diamond i think he'll be fine

[@WasBad-qb6pd]

@@tvxic19 whenever anyone goes Winston, the opposing team almost always goes to dva or reaper or torb

@@WasBad-qb6pd never happened to me

[@james1280]

@@tvxic19 reaper is beatable.. but you are just throwing if u stay winston against a bastion in gm

[@IMakeMyDayI]

Mental note for me too... How to carry your weight in Diamond+: 1. Constantly doing damage from an off-angle 2. Hard engaging when you have recall 3. Not hard engaging without recall (obviously) 4. Focusing isolated or killable targets 5. Focus purpled targets 6. peel own teams backline when someone pressures them 7. use pulse bomb as soon as possible... I love awkwards cooking recipes for ow

[@dreamybullx1]

Ive had a game today and the enemy tracer got mad that i used off angles

[@Jaspanda_P]

18:28 nano'd and kitsune rush'd tracer is scary as hell 😭

[@manh-haimuller6027]

Do a new Tracer Unranked to GM in S11!!! PLS, some wanna see how you play new maps etc.

[@DKC196]

Would you be able to do an UR to GM for Genji?

[@rage_tv4493]

For the “can you get value out of tracer/ any character without good aim?” Question I’d like to make an argument. Now some characters are very easy to use and very easy to aim with. Moira just looks in the general direction, rein just swings a hammer, and mercy doesn’t even attack enemies unless you swap to ur pistol. Aside from those few characters I’d say no you can’t get value out of characters without having at least decent aim. If you aren’t hitting shots you aren’t dealing damage and if you aren’t dealing damage you can get kills. The way to win is to eliminate the enemy team to progress the objectives. You can’t progress the objectives if the enemy team is alive. You have to hit your shots to win games.

[@volkatrongaming5332]

I’ve learned from watching this video that if I can win the lottery. Why? Off angles.

[@justinwells9514]

The sad thing about this is the enemy team had no idea they were queuing into a smurf

[@MasterDelane]

Thank you Awkward, for the education and entertainment through the good times and the bad.

[@RobertoOrnelas-kh8wx]

Damm someone said around 1:15 that he doesn’t have a life and that’s why he’s so good at this game and he got hurt 😂 he kept bring up that topic again again trying to tell us he does have a life 😂😭

[@mralexasian9510]

Most of the tips I agree with. However, watching other pros I notice in the higher lobbies like masters and gm tracers tend to not be "constantly doing damage" but rather I tend to see them playing very patient and looking for a window to engage or waiting for the enemy to push and predicting enemy dps, trying to win dps duels. One of the players I watched was Kabaji.

[@lildrewZ]

There's just multiple play-styles, man. I'm assuming you already knew that, but there isn't a right or wrong way to win. Notice I didn't say "play" in place of "win", because if you're winning and you are positively impacting the game, then it simply doesn't matter how you go about doing that

[@babyshark1701]

Because of you I played tracer for the first time after watching this & really paying attention to your advice, I finally got out of gold cause of you & got plat 4 in dps before this season ended THANK YOU AWKWARD!!

"Hog is low, hog is killable, hog is dead"

[@GetQuakedOn]

genji next?

[@Bee4Realzz]

The other team doesn’t even try to kill the Tracer. I wish it was like that in my games 😂

[@matrixyst]

having just finished this u2gm(1) after watching it over the past few days, my biggest takeaway is to never ask an npc question when im in awkwards chat lmfao

[@adamcharge1]

Im glad Awkward always gets to griddy before he dies

[@Kororozinhouw]

So in priority order, what you need is: 1- insane tracking aiming; 2- the rest

[@illestvillain1971]

14:04 bro just cyberbullying that widow lol

[@kita4299]

I will love to see unranked to gm with genji... I ever dreamed to play him but NEVER understand what and HOW to do!
