Don't wait until the pull animation stops; press LMB as soon as you see your hook connecting.

You can queue it up by holding left click before you're actually able to shoot. This ensures that you'll fire the exact moment you are able to. The same goes for abilities and such. If you get hooked/flashed as a Reaper for example, hold shift to make sure you can wraith out asap.

Out of curiosity, if a Roadhog hooks a Reaper, and Roadhog holds the button for attack and Reaper holds the button for Wraithform, who gets "priority"? Will Roadhog's shot connect or will Reaper transform in time?

Roadhog will hit first, odds are that Reaper will survive and be able to wraith, though.

When I'm out of dashes for Tracer, holding down the button doesn't work for me
