Danteh makes a video, I watch and leave a like. I'm a simple man. PS: Your guides are great! Especially the section around 10:40 where you said she can do anything, then showed examples of each.
I've watched a ton of guides, especially tracer because she is my favorite hero and I want to get more value from her, but this is by far the best guide I've seen. The tips are more vague, so you can use them in any situation, but he also gives specific examples. Incredible guide.
“Good aim won’t happen right away … your aim is going to get better, no matter what, with time. So I’d recommend focusing other parts of your play that won’t naturally improve.” This is the best tip I have ever heard in ANY #Overwatch video. Thank you! New sub!
Love how he shows tons of clips of him dying and explaining why rather than what most people do and just show clips of them absolutely bodying everyone and basically just saying “do this and win”
Quite a few people seem to struggle with blink/cooldown management. Here's a few simple suggestions to quickly improve: 1. If you know you're about to engage an enemy soon (or have the potential to do so), then try to maintain at least 2 blinks before you engage. If the engage drags out and you spend both blinks, the duration of time will have returned one more blink which is your signal to either finish your opponent or get out. Never stay engaged in a fight beyond that point where you have to wait for your blinks to return (unless you are heavily favored to kill the opponent before they kill you). 2. Be patient before approaching an enemy. Tracer should always engage from an angle that is outside the main view of the enemy you're going to duel. Try to get as close as possible to the enemy without using any blinks, so that you have all 3 available for when you decide to engage in a fight. You very rarely want to use blinks in order to get into a fight. Try and consider where the enemy is/are moving towards, and figure out an efficient way for you to intercept them without using blinks (or one blink at the very most). 3. While in a fight, try to sync your blinks to the enemy's abilities or shots, and mix between blinking, ad/crouch dodging, and using natural obstacles as cover. For example vs McCree you can start shooting at him, then when he turns towards you his initial bullet is rarely going to be his most precise, so you can try to dodge it just through regular movement. Then for his next shot you can decide to blink to his side so he again has to readjust his aim. For his third shot his aim is again going to be offset, so you can ad crouch dodge. If you're close he might go for a flash, so try to anticipate this and save a blink specifically for dodging that ability. Your last blink can be saved for reaching some form of natural cover (like a table or a street lamp/tree), so you have some extra cover in case you need a second to assess the situation or regain a new blink to escape/finish off your opponent. In short, don't blow all your blinks immediately. Use regular movement in between to dodge some shots, and always save a blink for dodging key enemy abilities like hook, flash, etc. 4. Be patient in your fights. You don't always have to triple blink and kill someone within the span of 2 seconds. The benefit of Tracer is that you can consistently chip away at the enemy, while you yourself can recall if needed or blink out of the fight. You have the power to chose which fights you want to take. So if you don't oneclip the enemy immediately or are afraid of their kill potential towards you, then find some form of cover nearby and chill a little bit, let a blink replenish, and see if it's worth going back into the fight. Usually it is. If the enemy doesn't get healed then they will still be damaged from your initial strike, and if a healer came to their aid then that just means you pulled 2 enemies to deal with you, which is equal to a temporary elimination (as long as you survive). So it's a win-win as long as you're patient and don't blow all your cooldowns too quickly. You don't always need to get the kill quickly, or strictly use blinks to dodge every potential shot the Ashe fires at you.
@@Real_MisterSir okay so, is there any like special tactic or smth to fighting other tracers? Cause I find it disorientating when both of us are blinking and recalling around.
I feel like the tracer comic skin is good cause it tells you if you hit the melee or not since sound queues are easier to process than visual queues. Just me maybe. Amazing guide, I'll definitely use this stuff in ranked games!
Thanks! I think I am very ready to start maining tracer in the new Overwatch 2 video game now. This guide was extremely helpful and I find it very informative.
“Either help your tanks make space or peel for your supports” *does both back to back Nice vid btw, I’m a main tank player but enjoy hero’s like tracer, wanna finally get to plat also
These are the best educational OW videos I've seen, thanks so much for making this. Also love your streams man, I've been hard grinding channel point to save up for a VOD review. Keep owning ppl on tracer bro
theres a reason why hes blink meleeing like that, he is timing it so that he is dodging each of the hanzos shots, notice he does it faster when he storm arrows and then takes some more time to aim when he is pulling a normal shot
I really appreciate the time in editing, extra text to explain, everything. This is the best and most useful guide I've watched. Edit: 10:13 lmao u made my day
The one thing I never thought about before is the jump blink to bait out shots. Will definitely work to incorporate that in my gameplay cuz any micro optimization like that will help me live better.
tysm for this guide. Ive seen so many recently by people starting it off with "ive never played tracer but.." and generally people see her as a useless fly on most teams. Amazing guide
With watching your and Kabaji-sans streams and guides, i manage to climb from silver to high plat with Tracer.... and 200hr on her... but like your mentioned you need to grind with her... under 50hr you don´t have the calm to stay focus on cooldown managing e.g. in clutch moments. Thanks man
I'm a bit late, but this is a really nice guide. I can understand it pretty well even as someone who knows nothing about OW. Great video. If I ever get a PC that can run something more than Minecraft, CS, and XCOM I'm definitely revisiting this video!
only ogs remember danteh build uhc, love the overwatch videos though I cant enjoy playing the game since my pc is running overwatch at 12 fps on lowest settings.
I'm a bit late to comment but here's a tip for console players: rebind pulse bomb to L1/LB. That way you won't have to take your thumb off the right stick to use it. You'll still be able to blink with L2/LT
1 big tip i can give is Don‘t be flashy if you don‘t need to be U sneak to a ana with pulse bomb up and u can easy stick don‘t try to 180 pulsebomb U got free space in back line to do stuff shoot supports maybe 1 clip don‘t start to blink random or meele cause it looks cooler on kill cam Stay simple if you can be flashy if needed
I'd second a Sombra guide next. I've been trying to figure out how to integrate Sombra, Tracer and Reaper to an extent into my long-range hitscan hero pool without losing SR. To anyone in the comments, can anyone tell me what the best Sombra maps are and where I'd play her over Tracer.
Also, another tip if you’re finding it fatiguing to 180 with low sens on Tracer (I use 39 cm/360 ), I highly recommend applying furniture polish like pledge which will drastically reduce the static and friction of the mouse on the mousepad. Obviously do so at your own risk however I have yet to find a mousepad which gets ruined by an application of pledge.
Hope you guys liked this guide!
Lmk if you want me to do more stuff like this.

@@lemunz4280 good eyes my friend
@@lemunz4280 That, and there is no delay when you're using blink + melee, but there is quite a large delay for blink + shooting.
@@MiniSkuse Also, if you blink + shooting you will go through your clip faster and might end up having to reload with no blinks
@@lemunz4280 That just depends on your aim
I really appreciate the time in editing, extra text to explain, everything. This is the best and most useful guide I've watched.

You’ve gotta do one of these videos for genji. You explain everything so clearly and it’s actually a good video unlike most guides.

without a doubt the most helpful tracer guide on youtube
Perfect guide and nice personality 💯 If you make a sombra guide like this that would be a dream come true

rare to find guides by world class players that are synonymous with the hero. very cool
Tell me why I thought I was in a 9th grade presentation, someone give this man an A.
I've been learning to play tracer better lately and this vid helped a lot. Thanks! :D
Thank you so much dude - nice to see a guide by the tracer GOAT
only ogs remember danteh build uhc, love the overwatch videos though I cant enjoy playing the game since my pc is running overwatch at 12 fps on lowest settings.
I would be so down for a Sombra guide! These guides (Tracer and Echo) were so amazing and well made, definitely should make more.
Yay I just started learning tracer. Thanks for the guide!
Great guide! Informative and well edited. Thank you!
this is the best vid by far that i’ve seen about tracer thanks!
Omg , cheers man ur a beast. Appriciate ur hard working for us i love those guides from you!
Awesome guide! just what i needed and it was simple to understand, thx :)
Definitely the best guide I ever found, thanks Danteh! awesome work.
Wow, awesome guide man. Greatly appreciated!
the quality on your videos is just straight up insane
Solid guide! Good luck on everything, man.
Thanks Danteh! Love your work and will be rooting Outlaws even though I'm a Seoul fan.
great video, really good depth! worth all the hype on stream :)
Informative and structured guide. Well done.
This is the best Tracer guide on UA-cam! I can't wait to watch the Echo one as well. I am glad your balls are okay btw
Really cool guide ! Lot's a juicy little tips :) And really cool to have in game examples
Insane game sense and game knowledge, such a nice guide
Thanks for posting the guide. Please add English subtitles if you can.
This lakey inspired backing track is FIRE
Thanks for reminding me with the community post!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS DANTEH!!
The video everyone has been waiting for!
this is the best guide ive ever seen
one of the most useful guides i've ever watched 👍
ft. Danteh; danteh isn't the host he's just the guest star
Danteh is so deadpan he could be British!
This is the guide we all needed!
Hey danteh you made my friend Mike become top 500 with tracer and he's loved you ever since thank you so much you are a star.
I'm a bit late to comment but here's a tip for console players: rebind pulse bomb to L1/LB. That way you won't have to take your thumb off the right stick to use it. You'll still be able to blink with L2/LT
FINALLY been waiting for this
thank you for the video danteh, appreciated
1 big tip i can give is
Don‘t be flashy if you don‘t need to be
U sneak to a ana with pulse bomb up and u can easy stick don‘t try to 180 pulsebomb
U got free space in back line to do stuff shoot supports maybe 1 clip don‘t start to blink random or meele cause it looks cooler on kill cam
Stay simple if you can be flashy if needed
great style of guide man!
Thank you so much, Coach Danteh.
I'd second a Sombra guide next. I've been trying to figure out how to integrate Sombra, Tracer and Reaper to an extent into my long-range hitscan hero pool without losing SR.
To anyone in the comments, can anyone tell me what the best Sombra maps are and where I'd play her over Tracer.
this is rly good im gonna use it to improve
thanks for the tipps
Love this content, keep it coming! Sombra guide when? :eyes:
Great work Danteh, keep it up.
Just want to let you know, Havana wasn't included in your map tiers. I'm guessing it is not a great map for Tracer, right?
oh, I didn't even notice it wasn't in the tier list. I would say it's b tier
Also, another tip if you’re finding it fatiguing to 180 with low sens on Tracer (I use 39 cm/360 ), I highly recommend applying furniture polish like pledge which will drastically reduce the static and friction of the mouse on the mousepad. Obviously do so at your own risk however I have yet to find a mousepad which gets ruined by an application of pledge.
as a sombra dps main i would very much appreciate a sombra guide
Thank you for the video! Love it!
Love the video, but please fix the P Pops on your mic! Simple fix with gain / mic placement if you don't use a compressor
I play Apex Legends and I love the R99 from that game And tracer Reminds me of the way I like to play in Apex
Thanks for the guide btw
Loving the content, Sombra guide when?
i wonder who edited this fantastic video!!
🐐🐐🐐🐐best editor
Thank you Danteh, good guide
Wow the effort put into this vid is amazing. I will be using this vid a lot thx.
Hi Danteh! I enjoyed you guide and found it helpful
Nice editing and structure.
2:14 hey where'd you find my gameplay? Jk my aim isn't good.
very helpful, thanks big man.
Great video as always!
This is an awesome guide!
Thank you for this, respect 😄
2:54 Where is the custom game code you mentioned? Great vid btw thx
same question

loved this guide very helpful even though im a support player
THIS WAS GREAT THANK YOU
Just picked up blink-melee as a low tier player. Can confirm I use it pointlessly cause I think it's cool.
best tracer guide!
I recently hit masters playing mainly tracer and hopefully this will help me reach gm :)

great video once again Danteh
