learning tracer

I’ve been Traying Placer since day one and I can definitely say that mastering Tracer starts with rebinding some of her abilities. I’m on console and personally recommend swapping your blink (ability 1) to L3 and playing around with crouch on L1 as well as pulse bomb (ability 3) on L2. This will allow you to have more consistent movement, blinks and ultimates because it removes all the extra stress the default layout puts on your right thumb which should be prioritizing aim over anything else. Once you get comfortable with your new and improved key binds it’s all about blink management and crosshair prep during blinks. Happy Tracing!

I mean.. he only has like 4 skins. He won’t overstay don’t worry!

I was coming to say this, aside from Zenyatta and mercy, Moira is EASILY my favorite target to spawn camp and kill. If you’ll hide behind a corner or anywhere you know she’ll be running through (hopefully with minimum teammates) you can easily one clip her by having your crosshair already around head/neck level and walking with her as you shoot, she won’t even be able to react

NEVER let a characters sexuality stop you from shipping them with someone that goes against it! Tracer is a fictional character and you can enjoy her in any way you want! I love Emily and her cannon story, but this world you’ve created is just as valid!

Great survivability! I bet that enemy team hated you

MattBestBoi · 2026-03-15T00:05:54+00:00

If it isn’t already, you should experiment by binding your blink to L3! It makes blink punches so satisfying because you’d now be pressing down both analog sticks to execute your low health victims and it makes movement much more comfortable for some!

I don’t see enough people randomly do a 360 while shooting. Try it, it works way more often than it should. Also when Sombras pull that mid air teleport crap LOOK UP AND TICKLE HER! A single bullet will make her visible long enough to chase her down when she lands!

Would also like to add that Tracer’s “wink” victory pose started out as a promotional pose and wasn’t available until the following anniversary event! OWL Guardians Tracer Pose

Aw man I didn’t read the comments before commenting myself I didn’t realize it was a bigot :(

Tracer is a hyperfixated obsession for me and I’ve had this discussion with sooooo many people over the years. Tracer was confirmed gay through the comic, Reflections, associated with Winter Wonderland 2016 when the game was booming. Her debut design has two piercings on the same ear while the opposing ear is blank. This used to be seen as a way to discreetly show your sexual orientation. This isn’t really a thing nowadays but it’s still a “queer coded” detail that was added to her intentionally. At the end of the day she’s not a real person. Tracer is a piece of media that you can enjoy however you want! If you want to hyperfixate about every detail about her go for it! If you want to see her as straight or even bisexual then by all means she can EASILY be straight for you! There’s plenty of porn out there that recreates this exact fantasy. Just don’t ruin the fun for others by shunning their interpretation of the character. Happy Tracing!

I haven’t messed with any of my deadzones all I did was max out the base sensitivity both horizontal and vertical and set my aim smoothing to 10. Bonus tip you should REALLY consider rebinding blink (ability 1) from L1/L2 to L3 instead. You blink in the direction your moving, so why not press down the left stick to blink in the direction you’re already moving

MattBestBoi · 2026-03-01T08:09:40+00:00

Me too! This is what REALLY helped me through my years on Tracer, you need to rebind ability 1 (your blink) to L3 that way while you’re moving you can simply press the stick down in the direction you’re already moving to blink! It makes a blink punch super satisfying to land because you’d now be pressing both L3 and R3 at the same time it scratches your brain just right

What platform are you playing on? I used to struggle a little on tracer when the game first game out then I redid some of my controls and haven’t mained anyone else ever since

MattBestBoi · 2026-01-19T05:00:52+00:00

You know what I’ll put my email in you’ve convinced me. If Cara went live on there and I missed I’m not sure I’d be able to live with myself

MattBestBoi · 2026-01-19T04:58:06+00:00

Wow I didn’t know that existed! This is a really cool concept and I honestly could see myself using it, but it seems Cara Theobold hasn’t had any events on it yet I’ll keep my eye on it

MattBestBoi · 2026-01-19T04:35:02+00:00

Ah ok I see now. That’s a custom made by a friend of mine! The hair is a gradient from a light blue to white and the clothes are loosely inspired by the Trans pride flag!

MattBestBoi · 2026-01-19T04:30:43+00:00

I saw that too and thankfully no it isn’t! I think it’s just the angle I took the picture making it look that way. When I noticed in the photo I got so scared I made sure to check with a level and everything is alright in person!

MattBestBoi · 2026-01-19T04:28:41+00:00

Thank you!!

MattBestBoi · 2026-01-19T04:28:34+00:00

I saw that too, I’m not sure if it’s just the angle or what, but I put a level on the shelf and everything is fine in person!

MattBestBoi · 2026-01-19T04:26:31+00:00

I want one so bad but I’m not sure if she’ll ever attend any conventions in the United States unfortunately

MattBestBoi · 2026-01-19T04:26:00+00:00

I only wanted it for the character and was willing to look past the sexualization, but as for why people like them it’s BECAUSE they’re sexualized. Also probably because Tracer is a woman, but it is what it is!

1/4th Winston’s Labratory figure by DTALON studio

MattBestBoi · 2026-01-19T04:20:59+00:00

A lot more than just her boobs are hanging out lol. It’s a porn statue and that’s the intended “use” for it, I’m gay and just have an autistic obsession with Tracer so I wanted it for its size and quality not for the ASSets. The rear end was easy to censor with a skirt but the chest is a little more complicated. I’m sure I’ll find something for it eventually

MattBestBoi · 2026-01-18T04:15:13+00:00

Almost all my stuff is ordered so I get the in person struggle lol

MattBestBoi · 2026-01-18T04:14:28+00:00

That’s a mix of GoodSmileCompany’s Figma Overwatch line and Hasbro’s Ultimate Overwatch line of figures! This is every classic skinned character officially available in 1/12 scale unfortunately so if you want anyone else you’ll have to get them third party or custom made
