1 minute in, already see this player's biggest problem to work on: - They play as if they have an enemy Tracer chasing them around 24/7. Brother, chill. You don't need to apply 1000 apm constantly. 90% of the time no one is targeting you, especially here in Bronze. Just take a breath, keep about 1 blink distance minimum at all times, and just shoot targets from short off angles. Fight for the off angle and your right to keep it, don't just hard chase elims only. You don't need to drop into the face of an Ana who isn't even fighting you. Just stay on high ground and shoot from there. When people DO look at you to fight you, THEN you move. Until then, just stay calm and pew pew. Rinse and repeat. Thank you for listening to my Tracer TED Talk. Enjoy the free sr.
Damn. I'm not even Bronze and thia works for me since I love playing Tracer and I "carry" games with her while fighting them at melee range. Only thing I don't do that this guy did was engage without recall and that puts me on Diamond with ease.
@@ragingdemon1344 The Tracer fundamentals work all the way to GM, it just scales with mechanical skill over time as you put more hours into active practice sessions etc. Great to hear you found some of it useful too :)
your first rookie mistake is judging a player with only 1 minute evidence. Yeah you can tell most of their issues with one minute but it's not a good thing to generally judge a player based on 1 minute of gameplay, that's called bad judgement.
As someone who used to play like this, they're definitely anxious/afraid. You can see it in the jittery movement. The times when I was calm, my mouse movements were much smoother.
Its funny how often in low ranks that people will group up and work as a team on offense, but somehow on defense they just fall apart. It's almost like they think cuz long enough there is time they are in no rush so they can group up. But on defense they treat every inch as a devastating loss so they will throw themselves on the cart hoping that their solo ult or something will just stop the cart moving.
YES even in Plat (I know that isn't saying much but it's a fair bit better than Bronze), I've seen (more often than I'd like) teammates (especially tanks) who think they need to MAKE space on defense, instead of HOLD space. People like pressing W and don't understand you don't need to be constantly pushing forward when a teamfight is won. But people also don't like feeling like they are doing nothing, especially since teammate flaming is so common and these lower ranks don't understand what playing defensively is. The "fall back" comm is very useful, but teammates usually take their sweet time reacting to it. Also by the time you realize you should hit the comm for an overextending teammate, it may already be too late for them.
3:47 That could be a replay viewer bug and not the player. During gameplay, yes the player can control the camera while emoting. But in the replay viewer, the spectator controls the camera during the emote. So the player might have third person peeked during the game, but it wont show on Flats' view.
counterpoint - the third person camera has a short range and this range gets shorter if it hits a wall. based on geometry, if you're closer to the wall such that the third person camera is parallel, you can have much more visibility than if you were to be at a larger angle. A counterpoint to flat's assumption is that it's a reasonable idea for the tracer to be camping the health pack, since they know a sombra is prowling about it's a high potential that they could get lit up at any time. Sitting on the health pack means that as soon as they take the damage, they'd heal it back. However, the issue with this logic that they might have had is if the sombra instead starts with a hack; which would, while not hitting the tracer, instead hit the health pack and potentially lead to a duel where the sombra has a heal in the middle of the fight. Another issue is that the mega would only heal the first burst of damage, either a virus or a bullet, meaning the rest of the magdump would still go through. Or, this is bronze, and they didn't think this hard, and sitting was cute.
bro, the only advice that can be given here is to lower the mouse sensitivity slider by at least 2 times, and breathe easy. Mechanics in overwatch are incredibly important, but you won't hit the enemy if you hold down the left mouse button like no tommorow
@@shiftygypsy89migh41i feel like its way too early for that, the game is so fresh that the skill level is not balanced in lower ranks and is all over the place sometimes
People in Plat are mostly people from gold that had to suffer more than Rammatra to rank up and take the game way too seriously to avoid going back to gold.
@@mr.mcchillin5303 no I'm just bad and I think the ranked games were putting me in bad games or something cuz I rolled while also dying/not contributing as a support.
He won't though. statistics are against him. studys over the last few years. correlate low teir ranked play for extended periods of time, to undiagnosed mental illness such as learning disability's and below average to concerningly low IQ. im not saying you are mentaly ill if you start in bronze due to jumping into the deap end to early or end up in bronze after not playing for awhile. I'm talking a period of extended bronze level play that lasts more than 1 month. That is indicative of mental or social issues.
Aside from needing to become better mechanically a huge thing that helps these kinds of players is just turning their sensitivity down a bit. The amount of shots this tracer missed from overflicking was ridiculous and honestly could be solved very easily.
Something that I didn't see anyone comment about is trigger discipline. You need to stop shooting and re align your crosshair to the enemy - About half of their clip is being dumped into a wall and mid blink - Pair this up with being overall slower and smoother in mechanics they would one clip or do so much more damage and more efficiently
And he will never be able to understand why. being low bronze in these games for an extended peirod of time, is indicative of things such as learning disability's, lack of efficient problem solving skills and below average to insanely low IQ. study's have been done on this in the last few years. Its not looking good for the player here. Not in game and not in real life.
"Mechanics definitely need a little bit of improvement" is putting it nicely. This man got like a 25% accuracy when he's not shooting at a big ol tank.
bronze players will never improve. thats the point of these videos. Bronze meens you have some problems that exist outside of the game. Be it low IQ, Problem with authority, Hostile personality, Learning disability, or other undiagnosed mental issues. studys have been done. low teir/Bronze players are actually mentally ill irl alot of the time. They do not have the capacity to do better.
You want to charge pulse. Pulse doesn't charge if its ready. Use it so you can charge pulse. If you stop moving your recall dies, you need to distance yourself from three seconds ago to do that recall dodge/doubleback. You need to find a 'still place' if you move right (don't waste time) you can literally calmly walk into their backline, like you belong there and start shooting. 1v1 a melee thing, blink through them, only shoot from behind. Recalling to be behind your chaser is nifty sometimes (bait, you don't have to 'shoot to kill')
I feel like they need to switch their thoughts about pulse and recall. Pulse is a button if you're playing tracer right you get pulse every fight, but recall is your ult that can instantly return you to full hp
She very clearly says "you're mine now" in the background -but that said with all that's going on I can understand why a Bronze player may not notice it among everything else they're paying (too much) attention to
@@GodofPing Thats fair. I think its just something that you learn to do when you have experience going against a lot of sombras due to the heroes you play. Sombras voicelines, hack or virus sounds are sounds that instictively make me look more than other sounds because you need to listen for them always to play on a hero that is hard countered by sombra. Having said that he is in bronze so i don't expect him to notice it until he improves the rest of his gameplay.
@@Real_MisterSir now that i think about it, i dont really see much sombras in my rank, and it also doesnt help that i dont play with sound half the time
Funny part is that people play like this and wonder why they don't climb while the truth is that all this bullshit would get him stomped even in mid gold. Because just people remembering that you're there, chasing you like dogs and having that 5% awareness would leave a bronze killed every 10 sec.
Honestly every single thing this player is good at is immediately cheapened by how bad their mechanics are. There were so many instances of them just shoot their gun and hitting nothing or drawing an outline of their target
"Do you have a headset" mf has the Sennheiser HD 600s or something. These are like default audiophile headphones, the average player isnt going to have the best headphones on a free 2 play lol
Fun fact in the lower ranks of bronze to Gold I would say you will have a teammate or team that will hold their ults like it's a Christmas gift and won't use it to help the team land also bad timing and ult usage 😂
This feels like a Tracer player that shouldnt be playing Tracer (yet). They have no confidence in their fights, their aim is all over the place, and they are just now understanding the concepts of "flanks" and "picks". Not to be down on them, but they definitely need to learn more about the basics, learn to panic less, and... well, aim for Gold before professionals. Because no offense, but Overwatch, and it's proleague, will likely be dead long before anyone currently in Bronze is able to reach that skill level.
he has the tracer gene in him. bros hitting diamond once he cleans up mechanics and game sense. my advice is to lower sens by 1, try to keep some blinks for engagements, and start playing into tracers advantages
He better be 16 or younger if he wants to make Top 500, let alone pro, starting from bronze. Nobody tell him almost every top 500 streamer he watches was never lower than diamond. You either have it or you dont.
Studys have been done on this as well, saddly unlike video games cause bad things. the study's have shown, low rank in online games after 100s of hours. Is correlated with some form of mental or social issue on the players part. Be that low IQ, problems with authority, living in poverty, Communication issues, lack of support and real friendships. mental health issues across the board ranging from depression, learning disability's, anger issues, time management issues. Being low bronze for more than a month of serious play, is indicative that you need to go and check on your mental health. These are troubled and unwell folk
@@CometaTheBurrito420 no studys have been conducted. low level players that are there for more than a month are there due to undiagnosed metnal illness in many cases.

Dudes gotta turn down his sense and learn to 180 without it, can’t land shots if you’re flicking past the dude literally every time. Better than I ever did on tracer though
This person plays like they drink 2-3 energy drinks before every gaming session. He needs to just slow down and chill out because his aim is just off the charts sometimes to the point he misses 75% of his shots and tickles whatever he does hit due to fall off. On a positive note, he's got decent mechanical skill for his rank but his overall awareness needs to improve if he really wants to climb.
Just slow down your aim and you can climb pretty easily. You ahd yrouble shooting the pylon multiple times because of how quickly you were shaking your mouse
I genuinely never understand how people can be bronze. Like I know people that I've been playing from 2016 and their bronze yet I just started this year and I'm already diamond? This is also my first FPS and I do not play any shooter games my most games I play used to be stardew valley in Minecraft 😂 I would also play slime rancher in Terraria those would be my only games I play.

You really don't need any coaching in bronze, just play the game, and once you hit diamond, that's when coaching matters more. They literally just need to play the game more
hes months in lmao. you can tell hes watched guides on playing tracer already but lacks in non-tracer aspects. lots of gamesense issues and thats where some slight coaching can come in
also it's funny that in lore reason, widowmaker heartbeat slowed down a lot so she turned blue, and the reason is to make her a better killer, still hands, calmed and collected. The same way when u play fps, if u panick too much your aim is gonna be shit like this.
this is the mechanical definition of learning how to speedrun a rubix cube by twisting and spinning one really fast, before learning how to solve one
