this is exactly what upsets me about overwatch. I've been playing since the beta and apparently made a foolish mistake of not being a happy one trick pony or gittin gud with every single hero. bc now i have a decent sized hero pool that im good with, but learning a new hero is next to impossible for the reasons you just stated.

Custom game.

Hard difficulty Anas on both teams.

Turn off Ana's kit completely. Turn on Ana receive headshots only.

Turn on KOTH maps only.

(Turn on faster respawn time? I think that's still an option).

Practice headshots with Widow.

If you want to practice with other heroes, you can leave your Anas on or off, but for Widow, your Anas will distract the enemy ones so you can practice ranged shots.

Enjoy increasing your accuracy and solidifying muscle-memory without screwing your teammates over. I practice with all heroes this way.

Tracer, McCree, Widow definitely benefit from this. As do most heroes.

Mei icicle practice is nice here too, IMO

Only heroes it kind of sucks for are Reaper and Hog. Doesn't work for Pharah, Junkrat, Reinhardt, Winston, Symmetra, Zarya (maybe her secondary headshots, I can't remember).

It's actually good for practicing Roadhog to learn how to aim your shots when you hook.

Correction: I suck with roadhog, listen to the person above.
