if anyone is trying to learn tracer and you think you aren’t doing enough remember on tracer you don’t have to get kills you can try distracting enemy supports by getting them to turn around and stop their healing (which could distract the tank too) or poke the tank from behind so they can’t really rank for the team maybe you get kills or maybe not by doing that but you’ll directly be killing the whole team by stopping heals or stopping tanking Like even at the end 15:25 he gets them off robot which stalls time for the team to contest when they make contact
either you get a pick and it becomes a 4v5 or one of the other teammates turns around to help and it becomes a 3v4 for the rest of the team. The only situation where tracer really doesnt get value is if people ignore you and you still cant get a kill. just distracting multiple people and giving your team an easier fight is huge value and literally requires nothing except be annoying as hell. killing is great but people thinking tracer is the same as sombra are goofy
as a Tracer main with 1000+ hours on her, it's good to see another person trying to get to know her and feel out her kit. definitely not the easiest character and requires a lot of skill. keep up the good vids man!
Played against you on that Gibraltar match at 13:00, you were absolutely controlling that match, glad I found your vids from people recognising you in the chat, this was a fun watch.
Also, triple blinking in and rewinding WITHOUT throwing your pulse bomb is fine if you don't see a 7/10+ target. You can wait 10 seconds and try it again
I've just binged watched a lot of these videos to look at the other perspective on a lot of these characters that feel bad to play against. (Like Widow or Hanzo because of the capability to one shot) but because of these videos I have now been convinced that the skill required to play a lot of these hero's makes it a deserved, even if losing to it doesn't feel right. Also: I think I will play some of the characters myself (for the same amount of time) to understand how much they need to do to kill me, and to get better at playing around them.
I love these 10 hr challenge vids! Please do some tanks or support too! Spread the love! I suggest orisa or moira next! I think you'll see success and have fun!
I love your vids, you put so much effort into them and I just recently started playing overwatch and I've learned a couple things from you that have improved my gameplay!
for me, the high risk high reward playstyle paired with the interesting movement makes tracer worth playing. Playing her is just fun for me, albeit I'm more of a casual player.
Given that most of the roster can 1 or 2 shot kill her, survival isn't as easy as people think it is lol. Kiriko and illari make for tough prey sometimes lol
Just recently started playing her. Currently at around 9 hours playtime as a Low masters/ high diamond player and I feel amazing when I feel like I know how I should be playing. It's insanely fun. I play mostly quick play now, but I still feel like it works out:)
I’ve also been trying to play tracer recently (feels like a waste of the battlepass skin if I don’t) and I keep dying on repeat, maybe it’s time for me too hit the training too LOL, either way another great video!!
As a tracer main she's hella fun to play with before I even started playing the game I knew she was gonna be the one I main because of her quickness, I knew my role with her was to be annoying with the flanks and clean up any near death I see
That’s exactly how I feel everytime I play tracer against hanzo, I should be calm and realize it’s basically a free kill, but I swear every game, the hanzo has a magic missile on my cerebral cortex, and logs me on his first shot for 10 minutes straight, idk how they always manage to hit the headie on me that consistently, I look at the replay and I’m zooming around like a mf, but they just make a csgo pro league wrist breaking flick and dome my tiny head with ease.
hey tracer main here not trying to be rude or anything just trying to give some tips if you ever or anyone tries this again, blink management is key you should always at least have 1.5 blinks on you during a fight or have 1 so you can escape if you get into a tricky situation, and another thing is you should use your recall as a second life/get out of jail free card because your recall will determine if you play either aggressive or safe because of tracer's small health pool, and one last thing is memorize where the health packs are around the map because with tracer's squirmy playstyle and you not always being able to retreat towards your support for heals it is key to memorize health pack placement around the maps
I love this song at 5:56 also my friend once said I am a ace with tracer but I disagreed because I knew I was relying toomuch on the rewind and the dash and having hard time building cross bomb
I’m not hating on you specifically when I say this as it’s not your fault but the games. The fact that this is masters now is sad and shows how ranks mean nothing. Go find any ow1 masters player from the end of ow1 and the gap is staggering.
The way you said that really makes it seem like a playstyle issue. Tracer should literally almost never rely on her healers for healing. You use health packs and play around your recall
@@bradhensarling9006it’s a bit of both tbh. Like sometimes when ur trying to get out you need healing, or if ur just on an off angle. Also tougher on sniper maps where their seem to be less health packs you can play around. Or against Sombra
@@bradhensarling9006 you talk like you play tracer from backseat or something. If you love playing around heal packs so much, I suggest you get off tracer and maybe start playing sombra instead
i got so many hours on tracer it’s crazy i peaked 4500 on ow1 and rn im top 150 on dps it’s just about game sense knowing what to do and what to expect from the enemy
@@Niftty yeah you inspired me to try to play genji and then a quit out of rage then i tried echo not my type tracer i had already mained aswell with the others
Alternate title: I spent 10 hours glued to overwatch to learn a character that has much potential and a high skill celing that is the most used character in top 500 games to prove that the pro players that have spent hundreds of hours trying to master the skill of the tracer, are completely wrong even though i got 5 k's and 4 k's and she seemed to be a actual good and reliable hero when i found my weaknesses and worked on making my weaknesses go away so i cant be stopped even though i think she's overrated"
The main thing that separates good tracers from bad tracers other than mechanics and gamesense is cooldown usage. You constantly used 3 blinks for unnecessary plays. A nice rule to follow is: Blink 1 - free Blink 2 - dodge abilities/shot (often 180 from them) Blink 3 - emergencies I personally don't think triple blinking for a pulse is worth unless it kills 2+. It is not a worth trade and playing for uptime is the easiest way to climb. Just staying alive and being annoying is definitely more worth than constantly trying to trade
I'd say that's a part of the fun of tracer, she's challenging compared to the other heroes that's one of the main reasons why I main her,on top of that one thing i do to ignore the sweatiness and stress is to always keep a cool mind, but that's just me ig
As a tracer main I realized that what helps me the most is blinking while reloading it gives consistent cooldown management and a constant flow of bullets
I feel like Tracers pulse bomb should have a hinder effect like Cassidy’s grenade. The fact a base ability can cancel fade/wraith/recall and an ultimate that’s harder to hit can’t do that is kinda messed up. I could also be biased considering I have 500+ hours on her
Yo I know you have only played dps in challenges so far, but I would love to see a vid of you trying out doom as someone who is also starting to main him
I kind of downloaded OverWatch 2 to try out stuff, and, she deals no damsge at all? Like you HAVE to be extremely close to someone to deal damage, amd not even a Genji with ult would risk to go rampage just bc haha i deal damuggg, like what
Man looking at PC tracers landing pulse bombs looks really weird and different compared to console. We don’t have good enough control over our joysticks to raise our sensitivities to the point where we can 180 pulse or even 90 degree pulse without sacrificing our tracking ability.
yo man nice vid :) can you do that big pig (tank) i want to start playing him but i dont really know where to start so i get good. you are one of the people who are really good in ow2 so if you want to play a pig for 10 h pls go for it. (sorry for bad english)
i been tryna learn her on console ain’t been on ranked bc my team is gone rn but i’ve been doing good in qp i understand alot but then i don’t sometimes i’m doing amazing then you have me forgetting my cooldowns or dashing off maps😭 at first i was bad with her but after a couple days forcing myself to get better i did just not the bomb man i land it here and there but overall i feel when my team comes back i will do good
First pin?
Done 😊
@@Niftty thanks!!! this is my first pin
@@Niftty Just began watching you through special. Some of the greatest ow content I've seen in a while, keep it up man!👍
Agreed :)
@@abutteofpeanutsI like special too!

maybe you get kills or maybe not by doing that but you’ll directly be killing the whole team by stopping heals or stopping tanking
Like even at the end 15:25 he gets them off robot which stalls time for the team to contest when they make contact
This is true 👍 thanks for the advice 🥰
I play support and when there is a tracer fighting us our team never turns around
either you get a pick and it becomes a 4v5 or one of the other teammates turns around to help and it becomes a 3v4 for the rest of the team. The only situation where tracer really doesnt get value is if people ignore you and you still cant get a kill.
just distracting multiple people and giving your team an easier fight is huge value and literally requires nothing except be annoying as hell. killing is great but people thinking tracer is the same as sombra are goofy
@@skylersimpson8736 exaclty and it’s not like it’s a 3v5 with heals if u get on the right people the enemies are taking perm damage
I understood this early on and it caused me to keep playing her instead of getting demotivated and switching
Let’s just vote to remove Cassidy’s nade altogether that thing actually bends around dimensions 😂
I agree vote/2 😊
I agree too. love both of you guys content❤❤❤
Special I watch your vids
yeah using dash after he throws nade at u and it still chases you around the world is kinda crazy. Vote no 5
I agree
as a Tracer main with 1000+ hours on her, it's good to see another person trying to get to know her and feel out her kit. definitely not the easiest character and requires a lot of skill. keep up the good vids man!
I thought I had a lot at 300
Played against you on that Gibraltar match at 13:00, you were absolutely controlling that match, glad I found your vids from people recognising you in the chat, this was a fun watch.
Took longer than expected, just been quite busy irl atm, hope you enjoy the video! (DISCORD = discord.gg/a9EQDFRqQD
1:35 for some reason the mercies weapon coming back and knocking you on the head with that sound effect made me lose it laughing lol
Rubs the salt into the wound just a little more 😂
I have played close to a thousand hours of Overwatch, but it was not until picking up and maining Tracer last season that I truly appreciated cover
Also, triple blinking in and rewinding WITHOUT throwing your pulse bomb is fine if you don't see a 7/10+ target. You can wait 10 seconds and try it again
I love her BECAUSE of how hard she is. Different strokes for different folkes.

No joke, once I heard Avril Lavigne at 5:57 - I knew I needed to subscribe.
I love your vids, you put so much effort into them and I just recently started playing overwatch and I've learned a couple things from you that have improved my gameplay!
I'm glad to hear it! 😊 🥰
You are definitely going to go big soon!
Nice video
noone gonna mention that transition at 2:18?? smooth
Once again I’m impressed nice video great editing and love the memes keep going man 👍
Great video🔥🔥Tracer is for sure one of the most stressful heroes in overwatch
Thank you, and I totally agree 😊
Yoo I didn't realize you tagged me in your video descriptions. Awesome vid I'm glad you took some inspiration!
for me, the high risk high reward playstyle paired with the interesting movement makes tracer worth playing. Playing her is just fun for me, albeit I'm more of a casual player.
Tracer's not much of a high risk high reward hero, she's low risk higher reward imo
@@seaboi777 lower health makes her high risk for me
@@shaneoshea5166 depends on the way you play her, generally you shouldn't die much at tracer.
Given that most of the roster can 1 or 2 shot kill her, survival isn't as easy as people think it is lol. Kiriko and illari make for tough prey sometimes lol

Battlepass skin made me pick up tracer too. Reaper's hp spoiled me
Just found this channel… quickly became one of my favorites. Just about the only good ow UA-camr.
The little things like the smiley face over the utility counter is why I love these vids
you are so freaking good at damage role! 🤩
Thanks 😅🥰
@6:33 "IIIIII am betah!" as he kills the 52hp Tracer while himself being full hp. Was funny to me lol
I'm from Brazil but I love so much your videos, don't stop
As a tracer main she's hella fun to play with before I even started playing the game I knew she was gonna be the one I main because of her quickness, I knew my role with her was to be annoying with the flanks and clean up any near death I see
Amazing video keep up the good work, love ur channel
Thanks, will do! 🥰
I think we all need a 10 hours doom fist
OHH LESSS GOOO, this is the video I ordered, ty Niftty ♥
I love this serie! Pls never give up!
Thank you. I won't 🥰
That’s exactly how I feel everytime I play tracer against hanzo, I should be calm and realize it’s basically a free kill, but I swear every game, the hanzo has a magic missile on my cerebral cortex, and logs me on his first shot for 10 minutes straight, idk how they always manage to hit the headie on me that consistently, I look at the replay and I’m zooming around like a mf, but they just make a csgo pro league wrist breaking flick and dome my tiny head with ease.
YAY NIFTTY UPLOAD! i love these videos! ❤️🔥☺️
wow this was so incredibly well edited!
hey tracer main here not trying to be rude or anything just trying to give some tips if you ever or anyone tries this again, blink management is key you should always at least have 1.5 blinks on you during a fight or have 1 so you can escape if you get into a tricky situation, and another thing is you should use your recall as a second life/get out of jail free card because your recall will determine if you play either aggressive or safe because of tracer's small health pool, and one last thing is memorize where the health packs are around the map because with tracer's squirmy playstyle and you not always being able to retreat towards your support for heals it is key to memorize health pack placement around the maps

@@Nifttyofc bro, you should definitely come back to tracer sometime you definitely have potential🙏🙏
As someone who just picked up tracer this is useful for me- but I feel the pain on cassidy's hinders- they're my worst nightmare
I love this song at 5:56 also my friend once said I am a ace with tracer but I disagreed because I knew I was relying toomuch on the rewind and the dash and having hard time building cross bomb
Great vid u should do cassidy next :D
Yeah the feeling of having a losing streak is painfull and really affects my motivation, but i had fun, thanks niftty ❤
tracer players fighting the urge to spam the hello emote
your transitions in this look so smoooooth
I think I see an imposter at the start of hour twos games
You gotta love those friends, who join you, they know they gonna get rekt... but they still go with you.
Tracer is either the easiest to go against or the hardest. There’s no in between
Agreed 😊
For real. Same with doomfists they both seem to always have there abilities up
Love seeing you and special doing these videos with different perspectives and takes on this its super helpful for me to learn and also great to watch
love your vids bro keep it up
:)
I’m not hating on you specifically when I say this as it’s not your fault but the games. The fact that this is masters now is sad and shows how ranks mean nothing. Go find any ow1 masters player from the end of ow1 and the gap is staggering.
This has changed recently now ow2 masters are way better because they had more time to learn how to play
Tracer is Vers Goob but she died by a headshot of widow,hanzo and ashe
Tracer is my main and I’m really good but sometimes it’s so hard having no healers with her hp
The way you said that really makes it seem like a playstyle issue. Tracer should literally almost never rely on her healers for healing. You use health packs and play around your recall
What rank are you playing in? High elo tracers rely on health packs to fight around
Health packs, know the maps by heart and fight around them.
@@bradhensarling9006it’s a bit of both tbh. Like sometimes when ur trying to get out you need healing, or if ur just on an off angle. Also tougher on sniper maps where their seem to be less health packs you can play around. Or against Sombra

6:21 whats the sad emoji doing on your blink icon?
😅 I see you noticed, possible for something I'm announcing soon in my discord server 👀
@@Niftty Now I'm intrigued
next video idea i spent 5 minutes playing overwatch 2 to prove its trash
Thanks for the idea 👍
💀
Most underrated UA-camr I’ve seen in a while
i got so many hours on tracer it’s crazy i peaked 4500 on ow1 and rn im top 150 on dps it’s just about game sense knowing what to do and what to expect from the enemy
I saw u posted and yelled yessss
🤣 Let's go!
@@Niftty yeah you inspired me to try to play genji and then a quit out of rage then i tried echo not my type tracer i had already mained aswell with the others
The edits with the blinks at the beginning were clean
I watched all your learning this hero 10hours in comp vid and now I'm subscribed ❤😅
Great Video once again!

Probably a bit too long
you know its over when you hear “i wanna fly can you take me far away”
That gun bounce, even physics hate her
That chiitan at 0:46 was beautiful

Blink 1 - free

Tracer is one of those characters that make me feel stupid because she is constantly put in s tier despite me not knowing exactly why,
Same with lucio
The transitions are insane in these videos
always a good time when niftty makes a video
is no one talking about the smooth transitions when he blinks into another clip
As a tracer main I realized that what helps me the most is blinking while reloading it gives consistent cooldown management and a constant flow of bullets
And you also can’t be in the middle of the fight. You have to manage the map by blinking into cover. Also recall reloads you guns.
THAT BONK AT 1:42 HAS ME DYING😂
just a tip from a player that used to main tracer : you can punch before you blink so you punch instantly
Yo can you try wrecking ball next? I think it would be pretty interesting :)
Love your content btw! ^^
5:59 what’s this song called? I wanna try playing it in my music class
That pulse at 5.20 something looked like My pulsed
😂
I dont main Tracer, but I enjoy playing her because she has the potential for really good gameplay and she's really fun to play.
Special and niftty I love both of you guys vids❤️
3:46 it definitely be like that 😂😂😂😂 like wtf 😭
Was not expecting the new avril lavigne song but slay
I find something i like to do on tracer is unload half my mag and then blink behind them and blink back to where i was and unload the other half
That Hanzo prediction was crazy
I want to see you do this with Doomfist, maybe I can learn something from that video on how to get better at him
Please do sombra next I would love to see that vid also great vids surprised I caught this vid so early lol
I feel like Tracers pulse bomb should have a hinder effect like Cassidy’s grenade. The fact a base ability can cancel fade/wraith/recall and an ultimate that’s harder to hit can’t do that is kinda messed up. I could also be biased considering I have 500+ hours on her
By the end of this series he is gonna be making a video of getting a 5k with every hero
U should do lucid I’d love to see you maximize the rollouts!
Yo I know you have only played dps in challenges so far, but I would love to see a vid of you trying out doom as someone who is also starting to main him
Loved the video btw
every time i see someone with tracers mythic i am so jealous cause its my fave skin in the whole game
I kind of downloaded OverWatch 2 to try out stuff, and, she deals no damsge at all? Like you HAVE to be extremely close to someone to deal damage, amd not even a Genji with ult would risk to go rampage just bc haha i deal damuggg, like what
I just wanted to play Echo but now i have to unlock which PLAYING 150 TIMES?! BABE WHAT?! I JUST WANNA PLAY FUNNY ITTY BITTY CORTANA
montages go crazyyy
Whats the song that starts at 1:45?
New Niftty vid thank youuu
These are the best vids😍
"THIS ENDS NOW"
Niftty : NO IT DOESNT... Randomly throws pulse bomb, hits pulse bomb
Kills sojourn
Man looking at PC tracers landing pulse bombs looks really weird and different compared to console. We don’t have good enough control over our joysticks to raise our sensitivities to the point where we can 180 pulse or even 90 degree pulse without sacrificing our tracking ability.
yo man nice vid :) can you do that big pig (tank) i want to start playing him but i dont really know where to start so i get good. you are one of the people who are really good in ow2 so if you want to play a pig for 10 h pls go for it. (sorry for bad english)
"Every get that feeling of deja vu"5 wins, 5 losts, M5. Man it is deja vu. Edit: 5 kills too! Jesus!
What should I use for blinks right click or L shift
i been tryna learn her on console ain’t been on ranked bc my team is gone rn but i’ve been doing good in qp i understand alot but then i don’t sometimes i’m doing amazing then you have me forgetting my cooldowns or dashing off maps😭 at first i was bad with her but after a couple days forcing myself to get better i did just not the bomb man i land it here and there but overall i feel when my team comes back i will do good
Nice job. I relate with the inconsistency. One day you're good and other days or even next game you're completely lost 😊🥰
