So the biggest practice I can see needed to play Tracer when engaging is her movements: Making crouch spam first nature, learning her jukes, and not over-relying on her cooldowns
Any good breakdowns on the fundamentals?
Watch Tracer streamers.
Dafran and Kabaji are 2 I watch.
Some stuff you can work on anywhere. Pick a stationary object and blink around it, work on being right on target when you come out of blink.
Blink around a map try to get the range instinctive so you don’t get hung up in doors or walls.
A D crouch spamming is pretty straight forward, Tracers spread is fairly large and it’s pretty forgiving. Just pick something and aim at it while you practice movement.
You basically have to play enough to build muscle memory and develop instinct.
Kind of like walking is hard for a little kid, but now walking is just an unconscious thing.
What I mean are the jukes that make good Tracers hard to predict.
It’s hard to make sense of what guys like DaFran or Kabaji are doing in first person, because they’re too good.
Well Kabaji narrates his gameplay and says everything he is thinking, You can’t get much more helpful than that.
D1bz plays as much Tracer as he can and answers questions on stream and has some youtube tutorials.

Jukes that make good tracers hard to predict are knowing what your enemy is can do and having some patience to wait for you team to push in.
There is no set do this, do that. Some guys are so good at one shotting a Tracer you just need to stay away from them.

Alright.
I’ll give Kabaji another try.
I like D1bz a lot.
I’ve patterned my play style off of him as he plays a similar style preference.
kabaji is on another level
He almost seems to get away with stuff that he shouldn’t
One thing for sure his assassination style and aim is ridiculous. Although he seems to throw pulse bombs like Ana gives out candy; when he does get sticks they’re pretty sick.
Jayne has a pretty good Tracer video where he breaks down a master and a diamond if I recall. I know the video gave some valuable insight into the thoughts of a Tracer player
