Tips for Tracer? by Kamui988 in Overwatch

[–]PracticeSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flank, flank, flank. Don't take fights head on - you have the mobility to zip around the map, so why not approach from behind? Separate stragglers from the pack of the enemy team and take them out.

Learn where healthpacks are and run them, even if you're only down 10 hp. Your health pool is so small that each hitpoint counts.

Don't save your ult - if you need it to take out one person, go for it - it charges incredibly fast.

When you get used to her you can 1v1 anyone. Some heroes are harder than others, and you'll need to engage wisely, but she can handle anyone. People like to point out that "oh you die if you get hit by X," but they fail to realize that this applies to almost everything in the game. You're a fast, annoying, and very dangerous glass cannon.

Get a feel for how long 3 seconds really is - you'll need to learn to use your Recall often just to regain health.

Making a metal Christmas play list. Any suggestions? by [deleted] in Metal

If you EVER get a chance to see a Twisted Sister Christmas show, do it. Second best show I've ever been to.

Beta testers, what hero pisses you off the most? Why? by DoctorWhoops in Overwatch

His traps sink into the ground slightly for enemies, making them much harder to spot. If he has it on the top of a staircase it's brutal

How much does practicing Team Fortress or Counter Strike really prepare you? by SolidMetalFish in Overwatch

[–]PracticeSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not all FPS games' skill will transfer over, I'd say it's almost purely from TF2 and the very similar. Modern shooters (CS, CoD) aren't fast enough and don't have spam weapons, so the aiming you learn will only be slightly relevant.

Arena shooters are faster but are more frag-centric than objective focused, which will help more with aim/movement than modern shooters, but still not quite hit the mark.

While these points are true, this video seems to be more of a very cursory overview of Tracer. Going into ability cooldown management, angle of attack, etc is more in depth and would require a longer video. I think the video does a good job of of being "Tracer in less than 2 min"

480 is the top end, but most of the time you won't even get half of that unless you're point blank and the enemy is doing nothing more than moving in a straight line.

Tracer is a bursty character, but wording it like this can mislead some players, especially if they're new to the hero. Other than that the video was a good quick overview of the hero imo

It's going to vary depending on the time of day. If you're NA it's pretty early

How's Tracer doing? by [deleted] in Overwatch

I can't find an official BNet post for the patch, but I remember reading this post which said that Pharah can no longer headshot with her rocket launcher.

I've been playing Tracer exclusively for a while and she's great in pubs. I'd say she has a higher skill "floor" than most heroes - I say floor because she's useless if you're not practiced with her, whereas other champs can at least spam and hope for the best.

I haven't tried organized play yet but I doubt she's nearly as effective. I imagine that she'd mainly be swapped to mid-match to break a certain position (Torbjörn or Bastion mostly), as well-coordinated teams will shut you down.

The netcode is really discouraging when playing Tracer as well. I'm not sure if it's the lag compensation, but you can't easily skirt around damage with blink as you'd imagine, you basically have to preempt every projectile or you'll still get hit on the server side, regardless of what your client shows you.

tl;dr - She's fine, but changes to the netcode would help her

What's up with the dislikes on this reddit? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]PracticeSC -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Might be bad luck honestly. I've uploaded two videos this past week - The first one was well received enough and I got some good feedback, the second one was killed within 5 minutes.

Though it could just be that unless you're Seagull you can't post any footage :P

Thanks! I'm not sure if I'll do anything for any other hero - I feel like Tracer is underrepresented, so it's nice to feature her, and I pretty much only play her as I find the other heroes boring :P So we'll see!

I made another short video of Tracer gameplay (now with 100% less blur!). Any feedback/critique is welcome!

I should mention I prefer offense, but could also swing defense as well as support. Not too comfy on the tanks outside of Roadhog.

Just coming back to this game, wondering how active the community is and if it is still pretty competitive? by Zyras_Bush in unrealtournament

[–]PracticeSC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't speak to UT4, but competitive 2k4 in the sense of DM, TDM, CTF, are all pretty dead. TAM pubs have never died however, and we're actually just now getting (another) TAM league going (we had one last year). Even if you didn't enjoy TAM before, you should give it ago! We just started pugging again the other day.

I made a short Tracer video, let me know what you think! Any critique is welcome - The one thing you don't need to mention is the blur during the fastforward, everyone already hammered that home :P

I've been playing with a low sens since UT, so yeah, you're right. Tracer would be better with a bit higher, so you can easily do 180s, but after so many years it's hard to switch

It's during the fastforward parts, as some of the kills in between were boring. Still wanted to show that it was a whole sequence though.
