I'll give a top tip - absolutely do not do this!
You want your flashes fully charged for an engagement to a) one to reposition sideways / throw off their aim while reloading the first clip /finish them off, but primarily b) to gtfo and disengage with multiple flashes if necessary.
Most importantly tho, flashing in to engage gives a huge audio tell (with accurate position!) to your target. With the speed Tracer can empty a clip you want the surprise to be an incoming hail of bullets, not your initial approach.
So basically this - flash to get in to sneaky position / behind enemy lines or whatever. Wait for full charges or at least 2/3. Close distance to enemy walking, out of sight. Shoot / flash / Shoot / flash flash flash.
Flash to close distance is great when you're going to sticky bomb them though
