This Tracer is on everyone's AVOID LIST | Overwatch 2 Spectating 

We were lied to. Gaslit. Bamboozled. For shame, not a one-trick.

i am a tracer one trick, proceeds to walk out of spawn on bastion

they were NOT a tracer one trick 😭

no wonder they’re on so many avoid lists, they’re feeding and throwing 😭

Bro was playing like a bronze, died like 20 times in the first round, fed more often than getting elems. I see why he got notified about being on every aviod list

13:38 sees a widow, immediately presses all the buttons and dies.

Plays bastion like tracer. Plays tracer like rainbow six vegas

I think the big miss here (coming from a Tracer player and coach), is that most of the reactions this player has, are perfectly reasonable. Not desirable, but reasonable. Yes, like at 14:33 it's perfectly reasonable to recall out of a position if there's a Widow staring you straight in the face and you got no cover to quickly hide behind -especially when that Widow literally just killed you in the exact same spot moments earlier. The real issue is not the reactions of this player, rather it's the decision-making leading up to why they keep finding themselves in unfavorable situations that demand undesired but necessary reactions, leading to them blowing cooldowns constantly without consistently getting value in return for it. The one main thing Emongg highlights that is most important, is that Tracer's core value comes from distraction, not direct elims. So with this in mind, what plays you seek to make will define what space on the map you favor to operate in, and how you disposition your resources. In a ranged poke matchup like this, large open space is your enemy, so first of all you shouldn't try to blow all your resources navigating the longest uninterrupted distances, unless you know you can set up and have time to safely recoup those resources again before you press an angle. Likewise you ideally shouldn't set up to engage from angles, that have a range disadvantage where the enemy is allowed to make plays, before you can make plays. It's why Widow can be so tough to play against, because not only does she have a one-hit kill potential. She also demands that you play in positions that may not be ideal, simply because you need to be sure that you at the very least can provide value at the same time as your team mates are at risk of having to face the enemy Widow's threat value. This is where soft flanks that can be turned into deep flanks, become more important -because you need the option to quickly deepen a flank if there is a sudden need for you to generate value (this is always based on timing with when your team is taking pressure, you want to alleviate as much enemy pressure on them as possible and you can't do that by hiding and waiting for an opportune moment from a perfect angle). Especially in ranks where team mates don't always understand they shouldn't engage in a long range poke battle with a Widow on the opposing team, it's that more crucial that you understand the core of your value is to obtain flanks that allow you to take angles on the people that are the highest threat to your team -rather than taking angles on the targets that are most convenient to you (exception being if you have an ally Widow who is mechanically superior to the enemy Widow, then you have some leeway with your own angles and greed you can allow). *So what this player should focus on, is:* 1. Assess who is the biggest threat to your team in general, and try to your best ability to assist in pressuring this target -and this may mean you will have to compromise on your very safe angles, in order to go for higher risk/reward flanks where you're more distanced from your team. 2. If there isn't a single major threat (like a Widow), then it's fine to be more greedy with your own flanks and angles and just hold space that you know you can be effective from, and that the enemy has a hard time pushing you out of. But ONLY if point number 1 isn't valid. 3. Acknowledge quickly if an engage on an enemy isn't realistic. Often you end up trying to force a duel straight on, either because you're out of resources, or because the map in that situation only lends itself to a straight frontal attack. In any case, this gives the enemy the upper hand and you never want that as any hero, but least of all as Tracer due to how squishy you are. So if you can't realistically take a fight in a favorable way, then don't force it. Elims are not your core value, harassment is. So if you can't engage safely from an off angle, don't try to force the fight. Wait it out, find a more creative way around going straight at their face, and try to not position yourself between multiple opponents at a time. Last note, just as a general mantra for Tracer. Fight for your space and angles, not for eliminations. Get the favorable space, take the fights that are available to you. And if you keep missing the target you actually wanna harass most, then change up the space you prioritize in the future, don't try to cheat your way to it by blowing your resources to get to that spot after you already committed to one location.

That mercy rez to pharah was craaaaazy

In the spawn room, born and raised On the payload is where I should spend most of my days Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool And all blinking around, just actin' the fool When a couple of Tanks who were up to no good Started making trouble in the neighborhood I missed one little pulse bomb and my team got scared They said, "You're movin' like you're just here to take air"

The way he recalls as soon as someone sees him, i just know he gets jump scared every game😂

The bigger bamboozle is that they are somehow plat 5

If you're getting constantly avoided you are not playing right. Dude was in his teams backpack and poked out occasionally, only contributed to a handful of team fights, and was barely a nuisance. Tips from a ball Lucio pharah otp (different heroes but was more harassment potential): 1. Minimize downtime. Learn fast flank routes and ways to get to the enemy without them noticing. Sometimes that means crouch walk but often a little timing and aggression makes the difference. 2. Learn when being a gnat will be useful. Making widow or Kiri turn for you only matters when the team is looking to start a fight. If it screws up their timings or takes someone away from their job, good. If it's between fights or y'all are losing the fight change gears to stalling or escaping. Slow cart progression without being staggered or get into a position to engage next fight. 3. Be actually threatening. Going in for half a second isn't gonna do anything. Multiple quick dives on a singular target or one longer dive will be more successful 4. Survive better. Learn health packs and the reach of your team. Going behind the enemy with supports who can't heal that far means you need to heal yourself so play around that. Also try to isolate a target or two. When you peak their spawn either wait until everyone is out or bait one person into leaving their team for you. If you don't know how to make the enemy constantly turn then maybe it's time to get a second character cause while it may still work in lower tiers than you should be in, being able to swap to an entirely new play style is super important until you get God tier

This is gonna sound unbelievable. But I actually learned to play tracer a bit better from Jay3. He only blinks/recalls when he needs to and it helped me be mindful of it. You don’t need to use your cooldowns if they’re not actively shooting at you

Did anyone else notice that the Tracer’s guns were jade before the switch to Bastion, but then regular when they switched back to Tracer? Is that a visual bug?

I don’t blame the people that avoid him, id do the same damn thing. What the hell did I just watch😭😭

I understand why he is avoided a lot. I'd like to see that note game gives him :D

The most important (other than her mechanics) thing you have to learn with tracer is that confidence is key.

I love the playmaking advice. In MOBAs we talk a lot about limit testing and it seems to be frowned upon in overwatch. I understand trying to survive on OT it’s important as respawn timers are longer but I still believe it should be more encouraged specially on dps since that’s the one role that relies on the pressure and securing Elims to create space.

5:05 point blank....

near 2:15 When anyone dies in the air, if you click on their soul to rez as mercy as it falls it will pause and you can rez the soul midair, it was falling in that direction due to Pharah flying backwards as she died

the standing in a door way tickling the Soj everytime she peaks while two of their teammates get picked off by the hero Tracer counters is crazy work

>tracer onetrick >immediately swaps to bastion

Why is he trying to play bastion like tracer 😭😭😂😂

That new Mercy buff for relocating Res location is crazy

Compared to other plats we’ve seen here recently, this is just pain. Being a Doom-Tracer-Zen 3-trick(?) makes it evil.

I literally got him yesterday as an enemy support and he played moira without healing anyone

*Switches to bastion* “What happened to being a one trick tracer”😭🤣😭

2:38 When you die, you have an invisible "corpse" that continues moving with the momentum you had, while your visible corpse is actually a soft body which moves differently. When you rez, you rez the invisible corpse, which can get itself stuck on roofs and such. If you were watching that Pharah's post-death cam (only visible in the actual game, since on spectating you just switch povs when they die), you'd see their camera follow to where the Mercy rezzed

their usage of blink gave me whiplash

Avoided so much you got a notification is wild

17:25 is a perfect embodiment of how this guy plays. That Kiriko was way more agressive than that tracer. A support character. This guy plays extremely scared. Sometimes you gotta go face to face and straight up scrap.

It's like they're under the impression that blink is for approach and recall is for retreat, theyre not being as flexible as they could be

im thinking they might so jittery with the recall because of the enemy team having both a hanzo and a widow which can be instant shut downs if you're in bad position which would make that "if they shoot one shot at you, you recall" may be true since yk one shots all it takes to die

I've had a similar thing happen with the rez when I was on kiriko. I tped my soul to the mercy and it was so funny watching the replay later cos she was so confused

them always having only one blink is driving me nuts

Is it a replay bug or why does tracer have jade weapon skin at the start, and after she swaps to bastion, then back to tracer not?

All this Tracer needs to do is play like 50 games on each hero. Like she has no clue what other characters do it feels like

I've heard the saying of "always find ways to deal damage"

0:53 so true 😂

So for the rez thing it’s also a MASSIVE MASSIVE problem with genji where you can hear or even see yourself using an ability but will die because the enemy doesn’t. I’m not sure if it’s just high ping or high latency cause of bad pc or what

This is the worst type of player that you can find in your ranked games. This “tracer one trick” was carried, and would go up against enemies who had absolutely no idea how to play the game. The WORST combination, which gives this guy a major rank inflation. The worst type of team mate to have in your match.

That mercy rez on that pharah can go and be deleted from the game wtf was that Souls should not have a "tech"

For a sec I though this was a ego vod, then the vod started

You are right ! To many tracers recall unessesary its way better to blink back and save reacall for neardeath experiance. Recall if you loose like 70% of hp. You blink in so you always can blink back out.

Picking fights with no cooldowns. They poke and burn everything they have 7:33, and then immediately go right back in with one blink and no recall and die. Also they blink constantly for no reason, which leaves them without a full kit when they actually engage targets.

Doin a whole lot of nothing 😂

02:40 thats what the devs say too.

3:29 Me when I lie LOL

Bro locked in the end tho

10:46 Emongg: isn’t it great? Kiriko: *3 seconds later* No

This gameplay + backstory feels like it should be a flats video not an emongg one

They definitely are scared of making plays, especially when sneaking around and stuff. So many times they try to peek around corners and just empty the entire clip into the wall instead of calming down and aiming just a little further around the corner.

I am a tracer player and I can say that a lot of us do the crouch thing to sneak up, so that flanking isn’t loud and they don’t get alerted by our footsteps

Helpa;l'jf, I didn't know you get a notification when you're frequently avoided 😭😭

Tracer got a major rework halfway through the game

I'm happy that we never saw stat board, because the amount of pressure he had was 0. If you are playing tracer and have 0 pressure and are not playing with team tempo you might as well play junkrat and spam a choke.

I don't think anyone pointed out that the tracer was doing the melee then immediately recalling. You can hear the tracer melee right when they recall This tech is strong but it shouldn't be used a lot.

10:14 peak hanzo gameplay

Just subbed with my amazon prime bc of this video. thanks for the tips!

Tracer got many teworks during this match

The game give u notification when a lot of player avoided u??? I wonder how it looks like or what it says.. didn't know that's a thing

I might have to look this player up and put him on my avoid list ahead of time lol

When the phara boost it look like her soul got boost out her body😂

Either there's a lot of nothealer or I've played against nothealer and can confirm that he's not a zen one trick because my duo and I have forced him off zen a couple of times I fought someone with that name.

Im scared to ask how many hours they have on Tracer, also them using blink as if its a sprint button is pissing me off 😭

This guy should actually try sombra ..scared tracer EDIT: just got to the part in video where Emongg actually mention that

12:18 That was fucking vile 😭😭😭

Dude, that Zarya skin is WILD. Can barely recognize her.

A problem with low ranked tracer players is that they refuse to learn and use health packs to their advantage

Where do I go to have my gameplay Spectated, I feel like I would learn so much from him.

DeadxBoy and Mangekyo are definetly Sabian and Lochie from alpha wolf

I'm playing tracer in gold and i'm so confused with his desicion making i'm not the best but he is insane wierd

wish you showed the ana sleep dart pov

Recently started playing again, high Masters tank player in OW1, peaked Dia in very limited playing in OW2. I'm like Diamond 2 on tank and support and Plat 2-3 on DPS. Why can't I get into more games against players like this so I can climb easier? lmao This is the type of player we meme'd about in OW1 the classic Plat player who literally doesn't know how to play the game. In my DPS games it seems I'll either get GM smurfs boosting mercy mains or hard throwers with no in between lol

I too love one tricking tracer except when I swap to junkrat, widow, hanzo, ana, ball, queen and weaver

How do you submit videos? I had a 50 kill tank game I lost and got flames/reported for “throwing” and I need to know if I’m the issue

Oh brother! The most passive Tracer I've ever seen!!! 😅 how the hell did he end up in Plat? Very strange to me!!!

Pulsing the Hog... Yeah, that goes the other way round :)

doesnt look like tracer one trick if they spent most of the time dumping damage into armored tanks despite doing 50% less damage, recall full hp, crouch sneaking like its mgs, and not using blinks spending too much time crawling around map and closing no distance

This Tracer player should play Sombra....

You can blink throu him ore to one side after geting hooked. Its easy

After switching back to tracer, her guns lose the green weapon skin. Is that a bug or what? Bcuz they go back to green in the next round. That bothered me deeply.

Just needs to try and use his blinks to try and escape instead of just using E ,Should never be engaging in a risky situation or 1v1 without E Target priority is good,and positioning to engage is good

I feel lied to

Anyone else notice when they switched back to tracer at 6:00 they didnt have emerald guns anymore?

literally my plat teammates every game

how did the gun stop being emerald mid way through the first round

I mean... they said they were a Tracer one trick, meaning they're only good on Tracer, right? Not that they only ever pick Tracer. And they're technically right because they were absolutely dogwater on Bastion lmao

Okay firstly emongg are you high the name mix ups were crazy second wtf did I just watch no wonder they’re avoided they’re afk half the game 😭🙏👍

for the pharah res-- the soul had upward momentum from the jets and floated a projectile path onto that ledge

I feel scammed by that pseudo one trick 😠

I am more of a widow one trick than this guy is a tracer one trick. ;-; (i can play almost the entire roster)

Classic tracer two trick

This tracer makes me feel better about my tracer

Why does he play Tracer like Soilder

bots faster then the viewers

Tracer is about uptime, damage per second, and off angles. Never stop shooting. Distractions. This guy is trying to be sneaky, like playing some Assassins Creed game, is actually cringe to watch.

seeing the title made me worry this was my account

I didn't knew that was a notification for being put in so many avoid list. I put only people that talk shit on chat and no relatable to the game 😅.. or criminal
