    This is hands down the best Tracer guide I've ever seen. I can't wait for the 1v1 guide, I've been waiting for something like that on UA-cam for ages!
    A thought, I'm not sure how accurate this is, because I haven't studied it from the enemies' perspective but if you melee right before you pulse, it cancels the Pulse voice line and can make pulse bombs more unexpected in some cases.

    • @Dibz
      @Dibz  3 роки тому +7

      +Ah-Ha! Productions I think I'll be working on that 1v1 guide next, unless I start getting a lot of questions, then I might pop that top 5 question/mistakes guide first, but definitely they will be in the works!
      But yes, you can melee before you pulse, but that delays your Pulse Bomb from coming out right as you Blink. You can actually Pulse Bomb riiiiiiiiight before you Blink for it to come out faster, but meleeing kinda slows that down cause you have to be in melee range for the hit to matter. It depends on what you're going for, but both work!
      I would say for tanks, the blink->melee->pulse is better cause they're easier to stick (bigger), and you get that additional 30 damage from your melee. BUT, if you're going to stick a squishy, that melee doesn't matter anyway cause they're going to die from your Pulse Bomb, so it's just wasted effort in my opinion, and the squishier targets are usually harder to hit, so you want as much of the surprise aspect you can get to land them more consistently, if that makes sense.

  • @AarPlays
    @AarPlays 5 місяців тому

    It's an old guide but here's MY tips for control schemes for tracer:
    1 - Bind crouch and melee to your mouse side buttons. This allows you to blink with right click and melee with the side button. This also lets you spam crouch without moving your thumb from space bar
    2 - Bind recall to shift. Recall is used MUCH more than bomb, and bomb should be hard to predict, meaning you should be blink bombing most of the time. Because of this Q for pulse isn't that big of an issue, what IS an issue is the time it takes for you to hit e from the d key. You will find yourself barely surviving more often if you use shift, since your finger is already there 90% of the time and the quarter second it takes for you to hit E from D is enough time for that cass/mcree to hit you again.

    I really apriciate the Pulse-Bomb tipps! I felt i was pretty good with tracer but each time i got my ult it seemed to fail miserably most of the time.

    This guide is amazing and you helped me a lot🙏. Although I think my brein size pretty decent, my aim and mechanical skills suck. I can't kill even the easiest targets and I keep changing my settings. Any tips on improving these skills? I'm quite new on the channel

      I'm glad the guide helped out a bit! If you're having trouble with aim and mechanical skills, the best thing for you to do is to figure out what sensitivity works for you - this takes time, effort, and a lot of testing for YOU as a player, since this is highly subjective. One way to figure this out is explained in my aiming guide:
      ua-cam.com/video/AvF57L6ytZw/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Dibz
      The important thing is to find a sensitivity that you're comfortable with, and then STICK with it. If you're constantly changing your sensitivity, your body won't build the muscle memory it needs to "fine tune" the aim and it'll hard to build that good aim over time. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask anything if you need :)

    Reactive Tracking actually means to an extend knowing enemies movement patterns and being able to predict them.

    The blink aim training map turns me into genji when I do it sometimes! I have to go back to spawn each time!
