Small tip for Jett dash entry

Preface: I don't play Jett, just thought I'd share something I've seen from Jetts. I also don't check Reddit often, so I don't know if someone else has already shared this.

Most Jett players on attack will toss a smoke forward, then dash into it to quickly gain space. This is a fairly standard way of playing Jett nowadays, but I often see many players fail to maximise the value from this play.

What I'm referring to is quickly looking around during your dash, in the brief moment before you reach your smoke. This spots enemies that are not able to shoot you mid-dash, giving you free information for either you or the rest of your team as to where the defenders are.

Seems simple? Common sense even?

In my own Silver games, many times has a Jett dashed past me without doing this, only for me to gun down his teammates running in after them. I have also been the one gunned down.

Following VCT Challengers the past few weeks, I've also watched some pros occasionally forget to do this as well, so it's not limited to low elo (forgive me for not giving a specific example).

Hope this was helpful to you Jett players out there!

Edit: Raze double satchels should also be doing this!

1st dash is normal, 2nd dash flicks over to the right to spot enemies
