Very nice talkthrough your plays. Went from G3 Soldier to P2 Tracer at the moment. Working on my 1v1. Normally I play support Ana (D3 currently), but a change of scenery is welcome. Thanks for the content!
Nah, the Hardest Rank is Silver. People trying to derank to Bronze for degen reasons, Smurfs a plenty, and actually bad teammates. You win only if your team throws less as long as there's not a Smurf in your lobby. I'm Masters 3 on Dps, Diamond 3 on Tank, and Diamond 5 on Sup, I have never had more pain than playing in Silver when I was new to OW
@@joshcarlson6575silver and play have more quitters than diamond, but the latter is worse your opponents are typically better. It's also where competence should be common, I don't expect to be carried but I shouldn't have teammates who ws sfrafe when I'm to their right and the enemy is in front of them (support). When I fight 3 in my dive, kill one before dying the other 4 shouldn't be spectating, diamond players should understand timing and know it's their time to capitalize.
At around 00:38:00 ish, you get multi-countered by the enemy team. Would it have been better to go Tracer:76 at that point? No disrespect intended, just trying to learn what to do.
You could swap, but if youre trying to improve and rank up i think its almost always better to just play into your counters because thatll make you improve quicker. However if the entire enemy team is countering you i would probably swap lol. They were on zen/mercy which tracer happens to be pretty good into as well
I believe the best way to approach that (when you flank you keep dying) is to time your engagements correctly. Too soon and there will be too much focus on you and also you’ll burn a ton of resources. If you’re having a hard time flanking tracer is really good and denying areas from enemies. Off angle from your team and apply pressure while you look for aggressive dives with recall or some easy pickings you can dive. ( off angling constantly and denying space will burn their resources and eventually leave you an opening to strike)
like what jpmorgan said playing with your tank typically isn't great unless they are also diving a target with you but off angling and just getting out resources is typically your best play on tracer. @@phredbookley183
I like your UR to GM because it's honest. Awkward seems like a narcissist and is clearly trying to sell something by editing out the bad games he plays. His Tracer UR to GM, for example, has no Havana matches at all. Hmmm, I wonder why? Maybe because the strategy he is promoting doesn't actually work that well and is easily countered on certain maps. I'm pretty sure he also says in that video "Oh dude dude, certain characters aren't bad at certain maps you just need to get more skill, and waffles aren't even good!" and then edits out his Havana games xD
LOl, havent seen his video so not sure if he does or not, but the one thing I will always do is point out the mistakes that i make in game even if i live and get away with it, because io don't want you guys taking a bad habit from me and implementing that in your own games!
@YodaWasSinth He did edit his video. First of all he did it live on stream. If you watch the video you can hear him talking to chat the entire of the video. Second he shows his placements and they are all labeled with the games he played and they match up with the videos he shows if he did edit a game out he’d have to edit a whole stack of placements out rank would be completely different afterward wouldn’t fit at all with the flow of the actual events not to mention doing that live and nobody saying anything. so no he didn’t edit his video. I will agree tho that his advice in the video is iffy. His advice is correct keep uptime, engage from an off angle, apply pressure. But the way he goes about it isn’t right. If a new player hears this they are going to shoot any chance they get cause awkward said to maximize uptime and never stop shooting. But if you watch his video HE stops shooting in certain situations. When does he stop shooting when he’s "rotating" when he’s "setting up" when he’s "flanking"trying to get in close and get a "pick". All concepts that a new player won’t know unless they have experience and they know what they are doing. Part of the reason I liked skufzys UR2GM was because he explained the nuances that made it understandable. Awkward also said in his video the game plan is simple NOT easy. He explains there’s a lot of stuff that goes into playing tracer ie understanding proper angles, identifying killable targets, understanding timings. He said it’s not easy, but his advice, keep up time, and engage from an off angle, is simple. Anyway just wanted to specify he did not edit his videos and I learned a lot from your UR2GM
I have actually already done a mei unranked to GM on my channel! but it started me off in high masters games so I will eventually redo that one so i can teach you guys how to use her in lower ranks as well!
Yes hes supposed to have a big nerf this tuesday! so ill probably be doing an ashe UR2GM on wednesday or thursday on my stream at www.twitch.tv/skufzy@@Thuggshaker
you seem like a really nice person i very much enjoyed watching this speedrun I hope it will help me get to masters on tracer
awee thanks dude! Wish you luck on your climb!
Unranked to gm going strong keep it up my boy.
your playstyle is easy to observe and understand. i think an ur2gm like this one will age like fine wine, even after the global hp changes. good stuff
Dude you are one of the best teachers i've seen on youtube, thanks for this
Thanks man! I'm glad you enjoyed!

Hell yeah bro! appreciate it! and good luck on your grind!
Diamond is the hardest rank to climb, good players in masters and terrible plats on their way down.

@@praisedsquishyThen by that logic, Diamond players shouldn’t go in 1v4 without looking to see where your team is. 😊
@@michaelpurdy9165I'm always on time
In my opinion, the hardest rank to climb out of will be the rank your currently in
pancakes😂 ty for background content when I’m practicing guitar for university lol
LMAOO
What sens do you use or is it different for each hero?
1600 dpi 2.25 sens every hero
I think I saw you in a game on warns stream enemy team where you were popping off and mentioned something about a montage, was that actually you?
LMAOOO YES THAT WAS ME XD, it was my very last game of the series. i told him he was going in the montage after i diffed him and his duo lol.
i didnt know austin reeves played overwatch

@@Skufzy no I mean. Play with your tank. Like a Siamese Twin.
She's fragile but sometimes I feel like when I flank I die

@johnnyvarela8600 He absolutely edits his videos so they don't show him leaving matches that aren't favorable to his character.
@YodaWasSith Proof? Source?
@@johnnyvarela8600 You can watch any of his UR2GM.
Thanks for making the vid man.
of course! thanks for watching:)
Maybe for support it’s less forgiving. Not for Dps. You can always climb on Dps as long you’re doing a lot of damage and not losing too many games
Same goes for any role imo
So what was the ethernet product called? 😁
powerline network adapter on amazon, i dont know the best ones so id do some research on youtube first before purchasing!

@@Skufzy Yea lol thats another level with everything one shotting you 😂
PANCAKES 🤤🤤
Pancakes for SURE

If you could like put the rank you are playing in in like a corner or something idk but it’d look cool
I put the current rank im at in the top left and then it almost always shows the rank im playing in at the start of the game:)
Do an unranked to GM with Ashe Please
If Mauga gets beefed she’ll be next!! So make sure to have on post notifications for it!!
@@Skufzyisn’t he getting nerfed next update?

Waffles, good vid

NA
way more informative than awkward imo
Thanks man:)
stuck in diamond 3 as an otp insanely hard hero to climb on
Yeah tracers a tough hero man, took me abit to get used to her for this unranked to gm. definitely doable though! goodluck in your grind!
I dk if you watch basketball, but u remind me of Austin Reaves

I always have the VODs on my channel under livestreams unless they get taken down for DMCA
