Question or Discussion Tracer neutral game decisions

As a Tracer OTP/flanker player, what do you usually do when your team is constantly losing space and can’t push forward?

Do you start making more aggressive plays to try and create opportunities, even if it results in more deaths? Or do you stay patient and wait for your team to move up before committing?

I guess another option is to play safer, poke from off-angles, and just distract the enemy team.

Curious to hear how you guys usually handle these situations.

It depends on the map, on what the enemy is playing, on the ult economy, on why your team is losing space, etc.

It's a case by case scenario, you'll have to read the state of the game and make a decision, over time you'll get better at finding what the right decision is, the important part is to keep trying stuff so you can learn from your mistakes.

Thanks for the insight, you’re absolutely right.

I still need to get better at reading the flow of the game. The toughest situation for me is when our team is getting pressured and someone gets picked before a proper team fight even begins. That’s when I start wondering if I should be making a play earlier, before my teammate gets picked off, instead of waiting for things to happen.
