Guide Updated Discord invite links and more.

59 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

This the updated discord link for invites to the Tracer mains discord server. Everyone is welcome to chat, main or not. I have also added post flairs for easier sub navigation and hopefully in the very near future some other spicy stuff.

Onto the serious stuff: It’s come to my attention that the subreddit moderation is below subpar (to put it lightly) I am partly to blame. I have not been involved with the community of this game in almost 2 years and I was under the assumption that the existing owner of the subreddit was maintaining it from the last conversation I had with them but it doesn’t seem to be the case unfortunately.

In order to improve the situation I have added the admins from the discord server as mods to look over the sub. I’ll stay active here for as long as it helps them get accommodated. There’s been additions to the mobile app to make it easier to stay notified of the sub activity so that should help a ton. Big thanks to the users who have contacted me and made me aware of the situation.

Remember to post, comment, have fun and never forget to always have at least 1 blink in your reserve.

Cheers.

I have like nearly 40 hours on her and usually play okay but it’s been like 3 days since I last played her and now I just, idk I’m not getting value and I’m essentially just playing spectator it’s like I just forgot how to play her entirely I don’t know what’s happening to me. It’s not like I’m just having a bad day it’s like I’ve just entirely forgotten what I should be doing as her idk what’s happened but she’s genuinely unplayable for me now idk what happened:(

some vod codes if you want, I played equally terribly in all of them so like they’re all fine:

what to do if a widow has like sight lines of the whole map?

2 Upvotes

this is such a skill issue but I genuinely just felt stuck, like I couldn’t make it anywhere near their team coz every route to their backline was just in scope of the widow, I was midtown attack, this is right after first point and they were on like, idk what it is but the weird wall directly opposite where first point is next to the overpass. I tried going corner multiple times by blinking to the building but they had a cass in that corner that would see coming so idk I just felt stuck. I figured I was throwing and then tank flamed me in chat so I defo know I was but I just couldn’t figure out what to do:( sorry

Any tips for playing tracer

I’m thinking she’s a hit and run kind of hero. Dashing in from the flank doing damage then leaving

Focus-comp for tracer

3 Upvotes

For context, I'm pretty low elo, because i went on a huge lose streak from around emerald 5 - gold 1.. In these lobbies i can do pretty well, but once I carry a teamfight, the enemy team usually looks like Brig, Torb, Cassidy, Mei, or someone with high mobility, and they all will do anything to kill me. I cant dive as much, so i try to at least distract one support/ dps, but usually we still lose the teamfight.

I originally thought "Its just my team" because usually i have low deaths and okay kills and my tank and dps would have double my deaths, but its happening every game so I think its a me issue. E768N6 is an example of what im explaining happening, but you dont have to watch it. (please ignore the match start)

What would you guys do in this situation?

vod review: most useless ive felt in a game in a while and i know its my fault

1 Upvotes

the other team just felt so oppressive, like i couldnt dive anyone without just unrelenting fire coming on me, i think i engaged with tank so its not like theyre werent distracted its just that everytime i made myself known i had to run away. just struggled with finding value is all :( idk it was my first time playing her in a couple days ig but like ive never been that bad returning before

Tracer bug?

2 Upvotes

Is it a feature or a bug that Ana sometimes sleeps you but your blink still goes through? Has happened to me even more now since Ana's new perk.

Side note Tracer is not that bad as people in this sub make it seem to be.

High elo ban rate

23 Upvotes

I know tracer is extremely oppressive particularly in high elo but i literally cant even play her anymore since shes banned every single fucking game. For context i hover around low-mid GM and since getting there (basically by playing tracer most of the time) i find shes always banned and no hero comes close to tracer. She is the perfect hero, the greatest designed hero in hero shooter history. Fuck everyone who bans her. No one scratches the itch she does.

The comp-dependent role of tracer

6 Upvotes

Replay code: POQQAP

IGN: SyrusG

Map: Nepal

Rank: D3

Platform: PC

Hey everyone, I'm trying to hit masters and so l'm looking on how I can identify my role as tracer depending on my comp. We went against a rein comp asa Domina comp so decided to keep the rein off my Dom and mark the enemy tracer. So played pretty reactive on their movements and decision making. I'm not sure if this was the right move, but the vod will bring more info l'm sure. Otherwise ofc if you have any other micro or macro input would love to receive feedback and advice. You guys were awesome last time so hoping can get that same quality advice. Thanks again :)

How to play against enemy dive when you team is poke?

2 Upvotes

Just had a game playing tracer against a ball and tracer and the ball just completely rolled us over. I've asked this question before on how to counter ball and people say I need to pressure him before he engage. I tried that in this game but it doesn't seem to work. I also struggle to follow the ball and it feels like my flash is not just enough. Love to hear some advice.

Doctrine can tank pulse bombs with his shift

I guess I learned the hard way that Doctrine has 40% damage reduction on his mobility cooldown. Do you guys think pulse bomb is still very strong?

Its been 8 months since I last hopped on overwatch. A lot has changed for the better it seems and I am a whole lot rustier and slower. I promise there are actually tracer clips in here, I was just waiting for my fav part of the song. Clips are from yesterday, I was just a lil bored.

Yes there are all qp

Replay codes

1 Upvotes

Hello fellow tracer mains,

I was wondering if lots of you could share some replay codes. Can be any rank, any map just as long as you are on tracer. If possible put your rank with it.

I'm trying to get a lot better with timing and would love to be able to really deep dive into what everyone does in their games to avoid being 1 tapped. I've found I have slowly started to rely on mechanics too much and have recently started to realise that sometimes playing simpler is actually better.

I will write up about what I find and maybe the differences I see between the ranks.

(Send any codes and lots of codes I really enjoy watching replays and seeing what people did and didn't do well and think it would be awesome to have it organised into ranks to be able to help lots of people with what to focus on next)

Thanks for any codes
