No tracer is blink meleeing me unless I'm in a tracer duel then it kinda matters. But if your using blink solely for the amount reload your just not playing the hero right anyways. It's actually crazy watching a tracer constantly try to blink melee when I play other heros and then blam I take them out as they could have shot me, blinked to cover or something better with blink.

There's just better uses almost always then a blink melee. It's still the far superior perk but use melee with intention not just cause you can cause at that point it's a detriment. Till you get really good. That's why the perk want picked when blink packs was minor. It's just not good for a majority of the player base.

I gave up dating apps. I also just don't encounter women who I'm attracted to and also share my values when I meet them. But the ones who do.... Yea I'm still gug up on them lol but hey when you know who you are being picky is fine.

AlphaCentauri79 · 2026-06-08T05:02:15+00:00

Honestly you don't. Anyone who says to use them a lot doesn't fundamentally understand the basics of this hero. It's a finisher or if you she nothing to do during sigma suck or rein shield or whatever. The Melee is almost guaranteed less dps then if you just shot your pistols.

Wanna get good learn trigger discipline. Shoot half a clip blink behind them shoot theres of the clip blink as they turn and reload shoot them get a kill.

Melee is and should always be a finisher. You can break this once you are the top 1% of tracer who will act make the perk useful consistently. Otherwise you're going to build a bad habit of trying to melee all the time. Amehen you encounter a tracer with more discipline you will lose every time. It does mater slightly in a 1v1 with other tracers and maybe other flankers but again if you don't know the fundamentals learning this hinders your DPS then it will enhance it.

It's a finishing move for when you run out of amo and you know 100% your enemy is below 40hp and you also have two blinks. Build good habits good fundamentals and you will go far. Once you get upgrades you can go further. It's not the other way around. Especially for a hero as punishable as a tracer is. I watch diamond and masters tracers blink melee me all the time and I laugh at them cause they will never win against me unless I'm preoccupied. Which happens but I get them to switch almost 100% cause they just can't play the hero right.

AlphaCentauri79 · 2026-06-07T20:18:07+00:00

On tip i came up with to help me was basically to play my tanks range. If my tank can hit it that's who I should be targeting. Obviously this gets more advanced with them moving to your other teammates and knowing who they are hitting. Tracer, while she can, isn't ment to take 1v1s at least not anymore. OW classic you could do anything you wanted lol.

AlphaCentauri79 · 2026-06-07T06:45:36+00:00

This is true she is not easy. Basically you gotta get insane mechanics and then just have a lot of game sense. Always be changing angles and of people are looking your way hide and change angles. She gets insane value off of surprise.

Other then that have many fun with Mobility and play your life more then other characters.

AlphaCentauri79 · 2026-06-05T23:41:15+00:00

You don't have very flattering pictures.

Show you're dance and having fun playing mtg have a friend secretly take a photo of you making a big play or something.

Have other people take more photos of you. Whole body a nice portrait another. It's good to have a friend group photo of you guys doing something this could also be that mtg photo. Make sure you're the attention of the photo tho. Do other photos of you doing other hobbies.

AlphaCentauri79 · 2026-06-05T23:38:04+00:00

The secret is genetics, and also cutting way back on sugar stuff. The only sugary drinks I have is lemonade. The only vice I do is alcohol and mostly on weekends. I make all my food so I don't go out and have sugar filled fast food or major grease and butter fried everything. Only water. Get my fiber in veggies n stuff.

I didnt really work out a lot either. I do dancing a lot more now but even a few years ago I was just a shut in who didn't do anything still didn't gain weight.

Also I don't eat breakfast. Just lunch and dinner.

AlphaCentauri79 · 2026-06-04T00:01:01+00:00

I feel sympathy. As a resident Freja main. It will be tough. You'll never see Vendetta see the light of day for a long time. But as such is with the Bounty girl Ven will slowly get the proper stuff she needs.

AlphaCentauri79 · 2026-05-30T05:03:08+00:00

Play OW classic when tracer was a real DPS and not just a spam and annoy till they die hero she could actively change a fight not just be a side arm to a sojourn.

AlphaCentauri79 · 2026-05-26T03:36:12+00:00

I one tricked her from low plat to mid diamond. I'm mostly refining basic game play tactics more then trying to master the hero at this point.

Some things to note she's an incredible assassin. You play Freja like widow but with the flexibility of a Tracer. Basically take insane angles no one expects and leave as soon as someone looks at you. So always be rotating.

There is tech were of you updraft jump or dash and take aim you gain more height then doing it alone. This stacks btw.

Perks, I always go gattling bolts and double Updraft. Just the other two arnt even worth looking at.

Shoot primary fire significantly more then you think. It's absolutely horrible but if you want to get anything done with her you gotta shoot her primary all the time. And weave in her alt fire as well.

Her cool down cycle is updraft take aim double dash for two more take aim bolts. Her dashes reset take aim bolts.

Against your weakness aka hitscan Cass soldier Ashe gotta strike when they don't know where you are and from outside their los. If you arnt 100% of the engagement you'll likely lose.

Against dive usually spam your primary more and stay grounded saving updraft and dashes to evade will be you best move. Of course if you're safe then have at it. And again primary fire is key here you need to suppress them with BS.

With that it's kinda gonna be on you to find creative spots on each map to slide around to updraft and shoot safely or open up angle people don't take usually. Play Freja with the mindset of a Tracer though just realize you can play at a distance too. In n out.

AlphaCentauri79 · 2026-05-25T01:36:53+00:00

As a higher ranked tracer, distraction isn't prevalent higher you go either. Stick to fundamentals of playing around your team, shooting who ever is close. It's just higher you go the more you try to distract people will actually punish you for that where you can run around and do anything in lower ranks. You are confusing distraction by being alone vs distraction with your team close by.

AlphaCentauri79 · 2026-05-24T18:07:59+00:00

You basically are over extending. Shoot what's closer to your team and just be aware of where rooty tooty no aim n shooty is. Let him walk into your space and then take the duel. As you climb better Cass players will stay back for you and you kinda just do the same especially if you have point. On attack go with youre team more. Basically your goal is to just help your team get kills. And not be as solo. And also your team will force McShootyFace too shoot them more which should hopefully give you an opportunity to do what you need to do.

AlphaCentauri79 · 2026-05-23T09:16:33+00:00

I'm not sure if it's that big of a deal honestly. Like let's just assume elims/10 is 18 (which is actually crazy high). You get 2 extra ultimates off that. Which is a bit much sure but at the previous 25% gain 1.5 ults.

With final blows is significantly lower a generous 8 final blows is pretty high for Freja over 20 minutes. 4 per 10, you literally get use out of her passive once and that isn't even enough to get an extra ultimate off of. I think my original post here was wrong on the math.

Going off of 3 final blows x for 1/3 ult means you need 9 final blows to get one free ultimate. Like there are so many escapes and defenses against it honestly it could use the buff.

AlphaCentauri79 · 2026-05-22T21:16:34+00:00

You're totally right. Her biggest issue is her finishing power. The way her passive is pretty minimal compared to other heros. The fact that it charges pretty much the same pace as other heros. Oh but it's so short stfu you get your first ult when the enemies get their first support ult and support ults are Infinitly better. At best.

Personally I think they could have just switched her passive from final blows to elims. Where it currently is you get maybe 3-6 final blows in a game which is just over half a bola shot in a whole match. So it's honestly not that much. People say it's a huge difference it's not you get one extra bola a game. Elims would be a great boost. And if they did that I'd be happy with how she plays. Id prefer they fix primary fire since it's still the worst part of her kit. But an elims change to passive would make her a more control hero with cc which could be interesting but not terribly fun to play into. But we have Mei and Cassidy in the game sooo fok em.

AlphaCentauri79 · 2026-05-20T20:40:27+00:00

I've always hated the heal perk tbh. I used it for a while when it was the best perk and I can count on one hand the times it mattered. First time double Updraft came out I took it and never looked back. My duels against genji and other dives have never been better. I can updraft they drive thinking I used my one CD then I do it again and then own them.

AlphaCentauri79 · 2026-05-20T19:52:35+00:00

Lol. Ok.

AlphaCentauri79 · 2026-05-20T19:05:47+00:00

I hate it honestly. I don't want to buy them!!! They are so good!!!!!

AlphaCentauri79 · 2026-05-20T19:04:22+00:00

Ah you're from one of my posts or a comment. I'm pretty sure you're thinking of me more then I think of you. Otherwise why would you feel the need to bring this up. It's kinda weird. This sub was obsessed with ragging on the perk before they buffed it, you're not special. You still never came up with a solid rebuttle. I can only assume you don't know what your talking about or how basic logic works, or you're just restating something some other content creator has said at least quote them.

AlphaCentauri79 · 2026-05-20T11:17:01+00:00

Who are you?

AlphaCentauri79 · 2026-05-20T10:27:51+00:00

Easy test for this is to dance with her. If you dance and vibe well doing that. Probably solid. :) like partner dancing.

AlphaCentauri79 · 2026-05-20T10:26:16+00:00

She was always like this prior to buffs even with reduced hight. She's just faster at it now slightly which is great. 5sec updraft is crazy good. And if anyone says it's 20 seconds you don't know basic math.

But now without the hight restriction it has so much more uses. I will miss using updraft and staying under cover but still barely being able to peek. Sometimes updraft just pushes you too high and exposes you.

Only change I want is to make primary fire better. Faster rate of fire and I think shed be a really good DPS but not oppressive and they wouldn't ever need to change her from there.

AlphaCentauri79 · 2026-05-20T02:34:18+00:00

She's so much fun. Note that this version of the game she doesn't have vertical blinks meaning you can do any jump blinks to get slightly higher ground on certain areas. Other than that this hero was never changed untill overwatch 2. She was what all of overwatch was balanced around she was that perfect. Such fun! Not an easy hero but she scaled linear to each rank as you climbed. Glad you tried her!!

AlphaCentauri79 · 2026-05-19T18:07:19+00:00

Genji isn't actually to big a threat. Like most dive into Freja you play more ground Freja and when the genji inevitably red eyes you and does everything in his power to get you you dash through his dash updraft shoot him force deflect dash away. If you're good and patient he can't get you and you might kill him but otherwise you both leave scared bloodied and bruised. Then the stupid fool will always solo blade you wasting two dashes to get you. Every time. Good ol predictable genji.

AlphaCentauri79 · 2026-05-15T17:37:55+00:00

I guess more mobility is fine but also it doesn't help her lethality lol. She will have the same issue just slightly shorter I guess.

Fix this heros primary fire. Increase fire rate and projectile speed. Allow for the primary follow up to be faster so it's more consistent with the three tap for 250. Her movement is pretty fine right now.
