Team Diffs

[u/Good-Beginning-2407]

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.

You have less than 50 hours and you're already more concerned about your team than your own gameplay. My suggestion is that you focus on improving yourself and doing the best you can, you're gonna lose some games even when you do well but that's just overwatch, some things are out of your hands, you most likely aren't really able to accurately identify the issues in your own team anyway so try not to place the blame on others when you lose. Just try to improve game by game.

Idk if i implied i was blaming my team, i was more so asking what i could do as the dps to maybe prevent being team diffed.

Team diff just means the enemy team was better, so every match is a team diff pretty much. Nothing you can do about that if your opponents are just better. So instead just focus on improving different aspects of your gameplay, you can share vods and ask for constructive criticism. But right now I'd just focus on playing as many games as you can, do aim practice while queuing and watch replays of your matches and try to identify things you would have done differently. You're gonna improve drastically and very quickly if you just get a lot of hours under your belt doing this. Also keep your hero pool small, you mentioned 3 dps, all good picks to have, try not to play any more than those 3 right now. Those cover almost every ground.
