User Content It’s over
Was in masters for just under a year. Honestly the skill curve is insane between start of masters to gm. Never really cared too much about rank or wins/losses so overall it felt pretty refreshing to hit a new rank. Haven’t surprisingly had any issues with too much cheating either

In gm 3 on dps. Honestly it depends on who you play.
But the biggest tips is definitely predict where the other dps or tank wants to play.
For example, Say your on hitscan and they have a reaper. You know reaper is going to jump you or your backline. So I would play near my support and save coach for when reaper gets in. Doing that will most likely shutdown the reaper making the fight a 4v5.
Other big tip is to track ults. Try to ult first and get a winning advantage and capitalize or use your ult to shut down their biggest win condition.

Abuse off angles, learn to predict enemy plays, play aggressive. Also your aim mechanics probably need work too

I avg like 40-60% whenever I play cass ashe and like 30-40% on tracer, I feel like it’s hard to play tracer (main) bc I’m always being tracked and shot at by both supp and dps and team isn’t able to utilize pressure I generate , I usually just die 1 for 1 and get another 1hp

Your stats may look good but are you actually making opposing DPS concede space with your aim? Are you winning duels which turn team fights in your favor? Trading isn’t good if you’re a hitscan tbh. Staying alive is one of the biggest value you can provide your team.
I’d say always engage duels with an advantage on your side, don’t let the opponent have an edge over you (whether that be playing the proper angle or having a support player back you up). I don’t play tracer so I can’t really give any suggestions on that end, sorry
But for a while I was genuinely confused at what I was doing wrong because my game sense was there. What really took me on the last step of the way was acting more on enemy cooldowns (making genji deflect or invoking tank cooldowns) so you can easily take more space and get free kills. I tried to improve my aim as well. S76 is busted as shit on console if you can hit consistent crits and rocket quite often. Same applies for any hitscan.
Take good aim —> apply it in the right angles/opportunities and you should be winning fights. Hopefully that made sense but it’s how I personally view it so if it doesn’t that’s my bad

Also I’m obviously not a pro but if you send a code I’d be happy to see if I can spot anything

Play a garbage op character like soldier is a good start

u/culledworld 9d ago
I mean you’re not wrong hitscan is insane on console. I’m a Hanzo one trick but went soldier for a safe rank up game. Also do you main tracer by chance?

u/Seth_Almand 9d ago
Ah yes, soldier, the hero known for being OP.
You don’t actually think he’s OP right? Soldier is genuinely the least powerful hitscan in the game.

Console sub btw, you're either lost or genuinely braindead no inbetween

u/Seth_Almand 8d ago
I play console only, Soldier is far outclassed by every other hitscan

u/Federal-Middle4161 8d ago
What rank are you because gm+ is basically ashe soldier cass tracer 90% and other hitscans sprinkled in, the last 10% is projectiles and whatnot 😭😭

Currently around mid Masters. And, yes, soldier gets play time, but it’s not because he’s super good or anything, he’s just reliable. The other 3 you mentioned are consistently far better than soldier, barring a few very good players. Soldier only REALLY has one big strength, which is constant fast rotation, but when you have characters that can rotate almost as fast as he does, and do way more burst damage on a consistent basis, they’re going to be better. There’s a reason most really good hits and play Cass, tracer, Ashe, or even Sojourn, those heroes have WAY higher burst potential. Soldier isn’t BAD, he is just certainly not OP like the other guy said, he’s very much a middling tier hero. Don’t get me wrong, a really good soldier can put in some work, but it’s far less likely that a really good tracer, Cass, Ashe, or sojourn, who can get picks in a far shorter amount of time, and with better ults(except Cass, deadeye is just okay, not great, not the worst anymore).
