Hey guys, today we're talking about Tracer and what I think about when playing her. Below are the time stamps and topics covered. Counter Heroes [0:26]: Primary Road Hog (1 Hook = Death) McCree (Sometimes) Soldier 76 (Direct Impact) Secondary Sombra (Hack) Hanzo (Scatter Arrow) Zenyatta (Discord Orb) Symmetra (Turrets or if you have no Blinks) Primary Targets to Approach (Most important - Least important) [5:29]: Supports Most significant threat (IE. Rein, Soldier 76) Ult Batteries Anybody Else It is perfectly okay to fight a tank. You may think you are not doing much, but you are actually charging your ult extremely fast and helping more than you know. Ult Conditions [10:43] (ALSO FIX KEYBOARD CLICK HERE): As always, there is not a single answer I can give to you that will be the correct answer every time. These are just things I think about before going all in. 1). How many blinks do I have? Preferably I want at LEAST 2. 2). Where is my team, compared to me? Generally not a good idea to solo ult someone if your team won’t gain anything out of it. 3).Will my ult change the fight or push significantly? 4). Where are my counter heroes? 5). Who will I stick? 5a)Do we have a Zarya or another ult I can bomb with? 5i). If not, where is their support / carry. 5ii). If I know my ult can take any single target out, which target has the most impact in this given moment? [19:11] These 5 conditional statements will greatly help you when you are considering ulting. If you can find a way to maximize these conditions, you will have a better chance at getting the most out of Tracer. If you had to ask me what the most important conditional statement is, my answer would be: Would my ult change the fight or push significantly? If you can check this statement, you still may be able to pull something off. Aside from this, positioning is very important with Tracer. Positioning [20:35] (There are a few questions asked in this section) We talked about this a bit last class. One thing you have to consider is that Tracer’s primary job is to be an annoyance. Her job is to make sure she’s in the back of the enemy team's mind whenever they consider making a push. You should be the reason the Ana doesn’t NANO in time, or the reason Mercy is forced to RES early. In theoretical terms, you should be the computer pushing all the timing and decision making for the enemy team in the game. Taking all of this information in, the most important thing you can do as Tracer is be an annoyance and provide consistent damage. If you cannot do that, you are not doing your job. Take into consideration that you have your ult. How can you maximize your potential to make sure you get it off correctly? The simple answer is fast and furious. The best thing you can do is go all in with absolutely no hesitation and just do it. [21:50] You can choose to Hide Flank Snake Strike All three of these options are great and feel free to merge them as you get better. Choosing Fights [28:38]: Whether or not you choose to play Tracer on Defense or Offense, these terms apply globally. Completely situation. The common belief is that Tracer is a “Go all in, kill everything and stay in the back line forever.” This is false. The best way to choose a fight is to take into consideration… What can I do to maximize my team's potential? In most cases, this is annoying supports or going after the carries. If you can distract someone, even for just a second, you have given your team that exact amount of time to either make a decision or make a play. In terms of actually choosing a fight. The most logical way I can put it is that Tracer is always in the fight. If you can be so much of an annoyance, the enemy team will always take into consideration where you are. With this in mind, your best chance to actually go in is when the enemy team is distracted elsewhere. This brings in your key element to being an annoyance. When your rein decides to charge in 1v6, or your soldier gets nanod, or your team pushes onto the payload or a point, this is your time to shine. You will get the maximum amount of damage out because for that point in time, you are not the main threat in the current situation. You will be allowed to have a more free range of movement and fire and can potentially kill the entire team if played correctly. [31:21] Question and Answer to the end of the video... There are some really good questions asked. Feel free to skip through and listen to something you find important. Thanks for watching.
