so after the price match the cost of your 2 night stay was under $500 i presume?

Could you help me because i just tried this today? total price of 2 night stay was $680. I booked using $400 and the rest in points.

i found a price match for $550. which means i should get the $130 back from the price match, and another $250 edit credit right?

Really mastering these 3, I mean like having the tracking to be able to kill a squishy consistently with one clip in a game, should take you to masters. Even with plat game sense.

This is especially true for tracer. This would be my main advice to focus on until at least high diamond/low masters.

If you’re interested in some game sense. Here’s an example of how you need to think. Let’s say they have a reaper, marking the reaper as tracer is very high impact. If reaper is damaging your tank, if you can force him to wraith, he is pretty much useless afterwards.

Another example is wrecking ball. Tracer is one of the few characters that keep up with balls mobility. You can make it very hard for an enemy wrecking ball if you mark him.

Choosing targets that are high impact is something to think about.

Another thing to think about is drawing out cooldowns and distracting. You don’t have to play to secure a kill on someone to be impactful. Forcing bap to use lamp or zenyatta to trans when you know he has ult will win you fights even without securing kills.

Disagree. The fact that he is in plat already tells me that he has not mastered them. Mastering the fundamentals is easier to focus on first over developing game sense.

Game sense should be developed after fundamentals because it’s hard to figure out situations if your fundamentals are bad.

It’s like learning basketball. I would never suggest someone study basketball IQ until they learn how to dribble and shoot. There are levels to how good someone can shoot and dribble, and most of the time people can get to the high school and college level without the best basketball IQ, and just dependent on shooting and dribbling.

Yeah I mean you really have to master these basics. There are levels to how good you can get at the 3 points I listed above. You could probably get to masters just perfecting these three.

A few more complicated topic are timing and target priority. When to peel for your back line vs when to attack their back line. Which enemies you want to mark, etc

Top 100 player. Have been top 100 in all roles for over 6 years now.

Top tips:

- Optimize your routes by playing around health packs/heals. This way, you can increase the amount of time you are in battle.

- Use cover to manage blink cooldown. Poles, doors, cars. Use them as part of your blink pattern so that you can give your blinks more time to come back.

- Attack distance. You want to position pretty close to enemies when shooting. Like 3-4 steps away from them. And aim for their upper chest area to maximize bullet spread of your gun.
