UPDATE: Tracer's damage fall off has been reverted to 13 - 20 metres, so it's best to play within a 13-15 metre range, you can still use the ping trick just play a bit closer! Thanks to RocketStormWave for pointing this out!
On the "Win low kill games" mark, make sure you're pressuring the backline at the SAME TIME as your team is pressuring their frontline. This way the enemies attention will be split, the front will be busy with your front while the backline has to take resources off their frontline to deal with you, therefore giving your teammates a much easier time.
One of the most important things to highlight (not just with Tracer, but she's a great example) is that when you want to improve with her, focus on just 1 or 2 improvements at a time. If you try to think of everything you could do better, odds are you'll just waste your time and play ineffectively. For Tracer specifically, I would say the most important points to practice are these: 1. Never set up an attack straight ahead from the enemy's LOS. Always make sure you're only exposing yourself to one enemy los at a time, never 2. 2. Always try to follow up on targets that others on your team are already focusing. Tracer is one of the best heroes at cleanup damage and securing those 50hp targets. If any target on the field is ever at 50hp or below, and DON'T die, then it's your fault. That's how you should think. Whenever a 50hp target lives, no matter the situation, it's your fault they lived. Because you didn't follow up, because you weren't in the right place at the right time, because you had bled your resources prematurely, because you didn't manage your pathing well, etc etc. 50hp rule. It's better to overdo these points, than underplay their value. Dialing back is easy, but you never truly learn the value of them until you bang at their limits for hours. Then when you understand those limits, you can dial back and start focusing on the next 1-2 things you want to improve on. And so the cycle continues. Progress in easy-to-digest steps, not everything at once. Players who try to do everything at once, tend to tunnel vision on managing all the stuff they should be doing, instead of actually doing any singular part of it correctly.
To add on to the pulsebomb, it's better to bind it to LSHIFT instead of Q. Otherwise u can't use your left directional key (A) to move to the left while you're using pulsebomb. With shift u have all your movement keys available. Biggest tip to land pulsebombs more frequently. Just use blink on right click.
@@disinque6961 facts. RMB for blinks throw me off aswell, but I personally found binding pulsebomb to RMB and keeping LSHIFT as blinks feels the most comfortable for me.
I also always say that it's a good thing to be in the backlines even if you aren't getting kills. I could bully their supports half the game, getting their tanks heals ripped away from them, breaking chokes, unable to secure a kill; but they'll say I threw for picking tracer, even though they only shot orisa with fortify and two healers pumping her full of HP, and didnt kill the horse until I wiped a mercy and bullied the kiriko. Also, if you get hooked, HOLD recall. If you hold recall, you will recall as soon as the stun comes off, saving you from respawn. This also counts for sleep darts.
Im a new ow2 player and i usually don't leave comments on videos but this has really helped! I've watched other videos but none of them did that much so I appreciate it!
Some tips from my experience: If the other team has a cree, you will learn very quickly whether you can mess with them or if they should be avoided at all costs When 1v1ing a hanzo try to predict the fire rate of his arrows and play around that
A bit to add on the pulse bomb. It always comes up from the right side. So do keep in mind of that whenever you're aiming to stick someone. Good tracer tips dude. Love it! ♥
Just started playing Tracer and hate that I waited this long to do. So much fun, and appreciate all the very specific QOL tips like the melee pulse bomb and silent drop that I didn't see in other videos. Thanks for the great tips
Thank you so much! I like how you have a much more proactive use of rewind than just the emergency button like most pros. It's a good way to hide back in off angles if you came from the right spots. Learned a few things from you that make me feel better like attention diversion is still really good. I feel people focus on just kill count a bit too much. Thanks for the vid, learning Tracer since i love flankers.
i loved this video!! I watched it right before queuing up, and it made me play x20 times better than i used to (i'm a very new player) tracer was such a mystery to me, despite playing paladins for a long time and having experience with hero shooters Thanks, like deserved :D (Also i was sooo happy whenever i figured out how to play reaper on my own and am now playing him very well ^_^)
Man, haven't had time to play yet... but people better not be picking my tracer before i can. I mastered her at her weakest, can't wait to play her this weekend.
She’s best on attack, can work on defence but vs mobile teams she can’t do too much, she’s great on all push and king of the hill maps, she works great with Kiriko who can blink to her if tracer is in trouble and good with ana if you keep line of sight, she’s great with winston / d va as they have a lot of mobility, the main thing is playing off of tank damage
Another good one is to bind your shift to your pulse and your blink to your right click. That way it frees your ring finger on your left hand to move left and pulse/blink at the same time .
Nice concise guide! Just to add to pulse bomb tips… bind pulse bomb to shift! It’s very hard and awkward to pulse while strafing left. Pulse bomb comes out on the right side and therefore feels best, for me anyways, to generally strafe to the left of enemies and pulse them. There’s really no downside since I don’t think most people use LSHIFT to blink anyway.
That's a great idea, i'll be sure to do some content like that in the future! also going to be rebuilding my setup over december so I will be making a new room makeover video!
very good video man, i watched a lot of video guides, but any of them was very useful like this one. Also a tip u can press ulti first and dash, and the ulti animation cancels with the dash
Something to add: The reason the crouch spam walking works about as well as actual crouch walking is because the audio cue a lot of people listen for that denotes an approaching enemy is the steady rhythm of footsteps. Because you're throwing off that steady rhythm with the crouch spam, the ear doesn't pick up on the sounds you still make nearly as easily.
I've been practicing more Tracer as of late and wanted to see what someone thought about me moving blink to RMB and pulse bomb to MB4, I have reload as MB5 but might move that for crouch as I moved that to shift. Any tips are appreciated
Wait you're meant to melee the same instant you blink and YOUR ENTIRE BLINK PATH HAS A MELEE HITBOX? This whole time I thought blink melee's were super skillful because you have to adjust aim after blink and then melee, dude you're exposing some HUGE secrets, thank you!
boa - duvet, the version i have is the instrumental but the vocal version is great too, it was the op song for serial experiments lain which was also a really good anime! i recommend!
Not sure for console specifically but make sure you have melee on a button you can press whilst dashing, and also lower sens tends to work a bit better
Ive been playing her at 100% horizontal sens and 30% vertical with 100% aim smoothing and it feels just right. You can turn down the aim smoothing and will be able to turn faster but i think it feels terrible. Being able to 180 and aquire a target quickly is crucial for tracer.
I do play kovaaks, although not as much as i should, I have been playing FPS games for years and years so a lot is muscle memory, was thinking of making a tracer kovaak / aim lab routine / aim training video if people would like that
I would be very grateful if you would do it. The target of Aimlab or Kovaaks cannot be the same as the template and movement of the characters in the game, and he cannot imitate tracer's skills. This is a great help for us who want to train her well！
I find that crosshairs can get distracting, i like to have one to know where the centre of my screen is but I am always focussing on the player that i am aiming at and not my crosshair
UPDATE:
Tracer's damage fall off has been reverted to 13 - 20 metres, so it's best to play within a 13-15 metre range, you can still use the ping trick just play a bit closer!
Thanks to RocketStormWave for pointing this out!
whats ping trick?
@@zapper1 ping ur enemy to see the distance between u
do you aim to the head or to the body at mid/close range. This shooting spread confuses me cuz I played soldier only
What do you mean by "13-20 metres"?
As a tracer main, the tip to melee ult at 98% is really good, never crossed my mind before
97 i think
@@evyatarcohen6641 it’s 98

That is a very toight choice of background music. Let's all love Lain.

Best Tracer guide out, thanks for the tips
THE GUARDIA FORREST MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND OMG INSTANT SUB😩
real recognize real haha, thankyou so much
Super helpful information. Thank you!
Loved that you used 'Duvet' in this, are you a fan of Serial Experiments Lane too or do you just like the song?
I love lain, it has to be atleast top 5 for me
@@kabutoFPS Same here!!
i liked it a lot, do u have any tips on what comps work best with tracer, like what healers and tanks, maybe good and bad maps for her
She’s best on attack, can work on defence but vs mobile teams she can’t do too much, she’s great on all push and king of the hill maps, she works great with Kiriko who can blink to her if tracer is in trouble and good with ana if you keep line of sight, she’s great with winston / d va as they have a lot of mobility, the main thing is playing off of tank damage
I been trying to main tracer for awhile she’s fun but very hard to get use to lots to learn to be very good
Solid tips mate!
Thanks!
another useful tip is to meele and recall at the same time to get some extra damage
3:41 as a ball main this is so true. whenever i see a tracer on my team i combust a little
Another good one is to bind your shift to your pulse and your blink to your right click. That way it frees your ring finger on your left hand to move left and pulse/blink at the same time .
good video :)
also IS THAT THE DUVET INSTRUMENTAL

i use lshift to blink so its weird moving left at the same time sometimes

so glad i could help
thank you for making this vid Very high quality 10/10 keep up the good work! btw the tips rlly helped :)

Best video I’ve seen on tracer! The crouch spam tip is super useful! And I had no idea about the 20m dmg drop off
dawg how do you make your game so vibrant and colorful
i love your name xD I have digital vibrance on 100% in nvidia control panel

The Chrono Trigger's BGM absolutely got me...
Something useful that I found helps me out a lot is changing recall to L-Shift
Bro that blink melee trick is so good for hitting her ult
Although I have almost 50hrs with Tracer I'm still bad when playing her, I will try to master what uv mentioned. Ty
By far the hardest character to play in overwatch
random duvet surprised me so bad thought my spotify turned on
very good video man, i watched a lot of video guides, but any of them was very useful like this one. Also a tip u can press ulti first and dash, and the ulti animation cancels with the dash

great content my dude keep it up :)

Thankyou! I appreciate that
great video ❤️
i knew it was duvet in the background even with it being at such a low volume lmao

Great video!! (finaly i gonna be useful on dps)💜
looking forward to it >;3
Thanks man! Been thinking of getting back into OW2 since the tracer buff, I mained her for a bit and thought to study up before my return 😈
great vid kabuto 🔥can't wait to start using tracer more in S2
Thankyou, glad you could find use in it!
Would it work if you bind your quick melee and blink to the same button
Yes but you would have to use macro software
Great content. Subbed.
wasnt gonna watch much cause i dont play tracer but the boa duvet in the background got me
what is your video game settings? cause it looks beautiful 😍
I have a settings guide up! I might make a video editing / render settings video if people want that
Thanks bro I needed this
beautiful music choice bro
Great guide, still holds up
Thank you!
2:16 - 4:38 music used is Boa - Duvet, i see ure a fellow SeL fan, respect.
you are also probably insane. 😆
Hey kabuto! Do you have a video where you show your graphics settings? Your game looks so clean.
I do have a settings guide on my channel
Something to add: The reason the crouch spam walking works about as well as actual crouch walking is because the audio cue a lot of people listen for that denotes an approaching enemy is the steady rhythm of footsteps.

when should i recall? when im about 50-70 hp? i cant ever decide and sometimes im too late on it
generally I dont recall when on a specific HP try and think more so to if you WILL die soon or if you need full hp to burst down a specific target
song around 3-5 minutes?
