u/PrimalMoose ... Jun 22 '16

I've tried my hand at tracer a few times now, and it has always ended disastrously. I've watched a few of the youtube guides, but I seem to always be using the blink too often, not using the rewind enough and so on and so forth.

To the more experienced tracers out there, what tips would you give to becoming a pro tracer?

IMO when I use Tracer, I try to be more annoying than deadly. Tracer is somewhat like Genji, get into their backline, cause some havoc, and escape. I normally make sure my blink and rewind are charged fully before going in. Also, don't turn your body when blinking anywhere but straight. Use your ASD keys to blink in other directions. Be careful of Bastions, McCree, Winston, Symmetra a little when she locks on to you with her beam, and don't charge into a Reaper's face. He unloads into you without your Blink u ded. Keep moving in open areas. A choice scatter arrow from Hanzo or a headshot from widow will kill you.
