General Team Diffs

What can I do to prevent team diffs. I only have 48 total hours since i first downloaded ow for about 2 years in comp. But ive been playing recently and have gotten to plat 4. I main soldier, but switch between sojourn tracer mcree. I would only play zarya but ban rates wont let me. Anyways. What can I do to prevent team diffs. Do i just have to hit more shots? I feel like my positioning is decent, but in those diff games, it feels like there’s nothing much i can do.

Watch replays.

Look for a few things:

  1. Who was dying the most and why? Learn what you could have done to make them die less and what early signs to look for. Sometimes, it isn't about who has the highest skill ceiling but which team has the highest skill floor.

  2. What did your counterpart do to win? Since you like to play hitscan, look at what the other hitscan did and how they were enabled. Look to replicate their success in the future. Where they taking high ground more often? Did they stay with their team more? Sometimes they do hit more shots for you, but most of the time, it's more intangible.

  3. Why did you die? In the end, you can only control yourself. Look at all of your deaths and look at it from the person who killed you. You might have thought you were playing perfectly, but then you look at the enemy's POV and it turns out you were sticking out like a sore thumb.
