We were lied to. Gaslit. Bamboozled. For shame, not a one-trick.

[@Poedaddy]

Straight up 💀

[@Raksoforback]

To be fair they did say the other dps was straight up throwing slurs at them for playing Tracer, so maybe the swap was just in response to that.

[@downscope3133]

Lower ranked players (myself included) don't have the awareness to grasp everything that happens during a fight. When I watch my Doom replays where I totally dominated, I see that my DPS got critical elims that enabled me to make a decent play and my healers poured every resource into me to keep me alive.

Went out with a 50/50 in the long run. Poeple were just mad because i play a non optimal heroe in a way they dont understand.

13:38 sees a widow, immediately presses all the buttons and dies.

[@Real_MisterSir]

I think the big miss here (coming from a Tracer player and coach), is that most of the reactions this player has, are perfectly reasonable. Not desirable, but reasonable. Yes, like at 14:33 it's perfectly reasonable to recall out of a position if there's a Widow staring you straight in the face and you got no cover to quickly hide behind -especially when that Widow literally just killed you in the exact same spot moments earlier. The real issue is not the reactions of this player, rather it's the decision-making leading up to why they keep finding themselves in unfavorable situations that demand undesired but necessary reactions, leading to them blowing cooldowns constantly without consistently getting value in return for it. The one main thing Emongg highlights that is most important, is that Tracer's core value comes from distraction, not direct elims. So with this in mind, what plays you seek to make will define what space on the map you favor to operate in, and how you disposition your resources. In a ranged poke matchup like this, large open space is your enemy, so first of all you shouldn't try to blow all your resources navigating the longest uninterrupted distances, unless you know you can set up and have time to safely recoup those resources again before you press an angle. Likewise you ideally shouldn't set up to engage from angles, that have a range disadvantage where the enemy is allowed to make plays, before you can make plays. It's why Widow can be so tough to play against, because not only does she have a one-hit kill potential. She also demands that you play in positions that may not be ideal, simply because you need to be sure that you at the very least can provide value at the same time as your team mates are at risk of having to face the enemy Widow's threat value. This is where soft flanks that can be turned into deep flanks, become more important -because you need the option to quickly deepen a flank if there is a sudden need for you to generate value (this is always based on timing with when your team is taking pressure, you want to alleviate as much enemy pressure on them as possible and you can't do that by hiding and waiting for an opportune moment from a perfect angle). Especially in ranks where team mates don't always understand they shouldn't engage in a long range poke battle with a Widow on the opposing team, it's that more crucial that you understand the core of your value is to obtain flanks that allow you to take angles on the people that are the highest threat to your team -rather than taking angles on the targets that are most convenient to you (exception being if you have an ally Widow who is mechanically superior to the enemy Widow, then you have some leeway with your own angles and greed you can allow). *So what this player should focus on, is:* 1. Assess who is the biggest threat to your team in general, and try to your best ability to assist in pressuring this target -and this may mean you will have to compromise on your very safe angles, in order to go for higher risk/reward flanks where you're more distanced from your team. 2. If there isn't a single major threat (like a Widow), then it's fine to be more greedy with your own flanks and angles and just hold space that you know you can be effective from, and that the enemy has a hard time pushing you out of. But ONLY if point number 1 isn't valid. 3. Acknowledge quickly if an engage on an enemy isn't realistic. Often you end up trying to force a duel straight on, either because you're out of resources, or because the map in that situation only lends itself to a straight frontal attack. In any case, this gives the enemy the upper hand and you never want that as any hero, but least of all as Tracer due to how squishy you are. So if you can't realistically take a fight in a favorable way, then don't force it. Elims are not your core value, harassment is. So if you can't engage safely from an off angle, don't try to force the fight. Wait it out, find a more creative way around going straight at their face, and try to not position yourself between multiple opponents at a time. Last note, just as a general mantra for Tracer. Fight for your space and angles, not for eliminations. Get the favorable space, take the fights that are available to you. And if you keep missing the target you actually wanna harass most, then change up the space you prioritize in the future, don't try to cheat your way to it by blowing your resources to get to that spot after you already committed to one location.

Did anyone else notice that the Tracer’s guns were jade before the switch to Bastion, but then regular when they switched back to Tracer? Is that a visual bug?

[@luciferwasanangl4506]

Technically? It happens all the time with my gold guns i think it's just a bug from swapping to someone you don't have the colour for. Swapping off and back usually works for me to get it back

[@Scordizzy]

@@luciferwasanangl4506pretty weird, I’ve never seen that before or at least noticed it. It looks like they turned back jade at 10:45

I believe it’s a bug in replays. I’ve gotten in a few times before when reviewing vods. I was also coincidentally playing tracer with jade on as well when it happened to me.

[@yourfriendlyneighborhoodjinx]

If you're getting constantly avoided you are not playing right. Dude was in his teams backpack and poked out occasionally, only contributed to a handful of team fights, and was barely a nuisance. Tips from a ball Lucio pharah otp (different heroes but was more harassment potential): 1. Minimize downtime. Learn fast flank routes and ways to get to the enemy without them noticing. Sometimes that means crouch walk but often a little timing and aggression makes the difference. 2. Learn when being a gnat will be useful. Making widow or Kiri turn for you only matters when the team is looking to start a fight. If it screws up their timings or takes someone away from their job, good. If it's between fights or y'all are losing the fight change gears to stalling or escaping. Slow cart progression without being staggered or get into a position to engage next fight. 3. Be actually threatening. Going in for half a second isn't gonna do anything. Multiple quick dives on a singular target or one longer dive will be more successful 4. Survive better. Learn health packs and the reach of your team. Going behind the enemy with supports who can't heal that far means you need to heal yourself so play around that. Also try to isolate a target or two. When you peak their spawn either wait until everyone is out or bait one person into leaving their team for you. If you don't know how to make the enemy constantly turn then maybe it's time to get a second character cause while it may still work in lower tiers than you should be in, being able to swap to an entirely new play style is super important until you get God tier

[@anomanderrake69]

This is gonna sound unbelievable. But I actually learned to play tracer a bit better from Jay3. He only blinks/recalls when he needs to and it helped me be mindful of it. You don’t need to use your cooldowns if they’re not actively shooting at you

Dunno man pretty believable

[@anomanderrake69]

@@Underhel I miss all of mine already I didn’t need his help for that

[@Wulfereene]

Funny how not using your cooldown when you don't need to is obvious for most heroes. I don't put healing down as soldier when i am full. I don't use dva matrix when nothing shoots. I don't go turret mode with bastion, don't genji deflect, etc. So the question is what makes people feel they need to use cooldown as tracer? Maybe when you play against a good tracer she blinks all around you and it's super annoying and you don't hit her, and you try to imitate this but there's actually more to it when and where to blink. Just thinking loudly here.

[@anomanderrake69]

I love the playmaking advice. In MOBAs we talk a lot about limit testing and it seems to be frowned upon in overwatch. I understand trying to survive on OT it’s important as respawn timers are longer but I still believe it should be more encouraged specially on dps since that’s the one role that relies on the pressure and securing Elims to create space.

im thinking they might so jittery with the recall because of the enemy team having both a hanzo and a widow which can be instant shut downs if you're in bad position which would make that "if they shoot one shot at you, you recall" may be true since yk one shots all it takes to die

[@sethescope]

just mute people when they start to get mad. it's not your job to deal with people throwing a tantrum over a game, and throwing a tantrum yourself isn't going to accomplish anything. being toxic won't make you play better, and responding in an angry way isn't going to make anyone else play better. the key to not being toxic is not giving yourself the opportunity to be tempted to be toxic, at least at first. once you learn to control your reactions better, there's a little more leeway, but at first, if you really do want to stop being toxic, just don't give yourself the opportunity. mute, report, block, and move on.

When you rez, you rez the invisible corpse, which can get itself stuck on roofs and such.
