I used to main sojourn and other hitscans and I have been playing a lot of tracer recently as I find her kit more fun. While I mainly play tracer in quick play to learn I do want to one day utilize her in competitive. However with sojourn in my hero pool, is there any scenario that justifies picking tracer instead if the objective is solely to win?

I'm not sure what I should be doing differently. I've been trying to add in all the things I'm told by people online, or from this sub, "Turn around more", "Use cover," "Don't overextend". But it's just a constant tank diff, it seems, or at least that's what they tell me. I play Sigma, Zar, Horse, and D.Va.

This clip I play Sigma, username is Mooso, I'm in Silver at the moment, but I have my time in Gold every once in a while.

I just don't want to keep losing the game for my teammates

I'm new to Overwatch, I just got the game so I could play with him and tonight will be my first time playing. How do I pick a character to play as?

My friend explained what the roles are and how to actually play, but not the mechanism and stuff. He also said that I would probably have a hard time and should reconsider the other classes.

For context, I always go with support in multiplayer games. The reason he said I should reconsider is because I prefer to play as a healer when the role exists.

Last season I started playing consistently and got into comp for the first time, I knew it wasn't gonna be easy mainly because I was used to qp but I wasn't expecting it to be THIS bad.

I decided to play tank because I think that I have a good understanding of the role and how to play it. Take space and make it safe, don't just stand in the open taking damage, enable places for my team to play, don't be a resource hog, use cover, punish ovetextending enemies, etc. My experience has been awful and it's mainly because a lot of games I have my entire team blaming me for everything that goes wrong. I admit I'm not the best player but I don't think I'm THAT bad. There have been games where I don't die a single time and play objective but somehow it's my fault that my dps got mowed down on flank because "I left them alone to die" or my supports stop helping everyone because "braindead tank, what's the point" and the always present "tank diff" at the end of a game.

I don't really blame my team because I understand there are many factors at play and there is always the possibility of the other team just being better. But I don't really understand why the fault is always on the tank.

I mainly play Ramattra and always try to adapt my playstyle to better match the enemy team but if I'm pushed to it I sometimes I switch to Hazard or Junker Queen I try to identify when I make mistakes and always apologize to my team for it but I still get flamed to hell and back.

I'm hard stuck in bronze, sometimes I get a couple of good matches and climb to silver 3 but I quickly go back to bronze. I'm sitting around 60~ hours of comp, 300~ games played and only 90~ won. I once had a losing streak of 20. I'm about to throw the towel, HELP!
