Im a mid plat dps, and i honestly just really enjoy overwatch. I love the game, so i usually play 3-5 comp games a day (or until two losses in a row), then qp for the rest of the time I play. This honestly ends up being decently more than comp, which makes me wonder if Im creating a weird cycle for myself where : Build better habits in comp, lose them in qp, rinse repeat.

Anyone else also play a ton of QP alongside comp? Should I just suck it up and run it down on comp even when Im having a bad aim day, etc?

I played these matches last night and I ended off both matches with 0 deaths. I'd like to know if I played this well or if I got carried and if there's any thing I could have done better!

Description of the match / things you want reviewed:

H7TAV4 (AATLIS): This game, the idea was to stay on the "outside" of the fight. I want to stay on whatever "highground" I could get on and do what I can from that spot.

RBPRV7(ARTIC PENINSULA): I wanted to recreate what I did in the previous game (AATLIS). But I felt like I was playing too afraid and for my K/D. Also my team was doing well without me so there might not be much to get out of this one but who knows... I might have gotten carried in this one... lol

Hi all. I started playing overwatch for the first time in 10 years about 6 weeks ago. I ranked up from silver 1 to plat 3 as DPS. Here are some things I feel like I've learned about the game and I'm looking for some feedback and alternate perspectives.

1. Having one flanker and one hitscan seems much better than double hitscan. I like playing hitscan but I've had way more success playing tracer if my teammate is playing a hitscan. Especially on maps like first point circuit royale where it's a pretty narrow choke.

If I have even a semi competent genji or tracer on my team and I play soldier I will absolutely pop off. And if I play tracer half the time I don't need to actually kill anything, just get a couple people to chase me and I seem to win games.

1. Soldier seems like an absolute monster of a hero at this skill level. He does very consistent high damage, can deal with flying heroes well, has self sustain, and good repositioning. Once you get the stim pack perk you can sneak up on someone and absolutely obliterate them. I tried Cassidy but it seems way harder to consistently hit shots to me. Sometimes I double head shot and murder people, but sometimes I just miss 4 shots in a row and lose a 1v1 I needed to win. Sojourn is hella fun, but seems harder than soldier to get consistent value. Especially when the enemy team has a mercy/echo/Juno.

My current plan is to keep my hero pool to mostly soldier/tracer and lock in whichever style my DPS teammate doesn't pick.

1. It can be hard to figure out when to shoot the tank. If I notice the enemy rank has overextended without cooldowns I can kill them and get more or less a free team fight win. If I gauge this wrong it seems pretty bad to pump damage into a tank that isn't dying. However there are situations this still seems good. Pumping damage into a Winston so he has to disengage for instance.

2. Playing with a doomfist or ball feels odd to me. I haven't quite figured out what to do. Sometimes the games feel easy sometimes very hard. For instance if my team has a doomfist and the enemy team has a hog it can feel hard to walk past the hog to support my tank without getting hooked. But shooting the hog feels useless.

3. Playing against a ball or doomfist also feels odd to me. My current strategy is to shoot them to force them out and then walk up with my team. Or play tracer, engage the backline, and let it be someone else's problem.

Thoughts?
