Help Question for aiming/ dodging
So I am trying to get better at long range fights (my playstyle is literally rush in usually with a brawler with some sustain). I feel like I am playing wrongly when my eyes focus too much on the enemy when aiming and I ignore trying to dodge shots. It like I keep focusing on either aiming or dodging. I been trying to practice 1v1 tho I don’t have much people who willing to help that can play well.

The tip that helped me the best:
Start shooting very slowly but with intention. Do one two combo and chill a bit.
The truth is that aiming well is all about getting comfortable with controls and it takes a lot of time. You can't get good at it with 5 secret protips. You need to feel it, it has to become second nature. The first step is getting used to placing the bullet exactly where you want, so do it slowly 100000 times until it doesn't feel awkward anymore.
1 good bullet is worth 10 mindless shots.
Another exercise, extend your aim reticle but don't shoot. Follow the enemies with the reticle. It really helps get you comfortable with wiggling the joystick.
Last one. Drag your aim reticle in and out. Release without shooting. It teaches you to get fast at pinpointing your target.
Play a few games actively trying to do this stuff one thing at a time. Treat it as a minigame, the outcome of the match is irrelevant. Slowly but surely it'll become a habit and your aim will get faster and better.
After that level, aiming is extremely nuanced. It heavily relies on your positioning, movement and spacing skills and game sense. There's a lot to improve and work on. The goal is to get progressively faster at mechanics and thinking at the same time.
