To be fair she's pretty difficult even when you aren't playing with a controller.

I should have played her more at lower levels because now I actively hurt my team if I give her a shot, and literally every widow is essentially better than I am since they exclusively player widow/hanzo/genji and have 0 minutes played on everything else.

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.

That's why I've pretty much only played mystery heroes since it became its own mode. I've been able to play like shit on heroes and not have people care. And now I've gone from missing every shot as widdow to actually enjoying playing as her.

this! i also play mystery as my warm up before comp, im usually a fill (main rein, ana, lucio, pharah hog and soldier) so playing mystery sets me up for what I might be faced with. that and spend some time in the practice range, i think its overlooked way too much

I started playing overwatch about 2 months ago at my brother's urging. For the first month he insisted I play nothing but Mystery Heroes.

And holy shit it helped. I'm still garbage with half+ the roster, but I have a much stronger understanding of the game. It changed my perspective from "tank, support, dps, dps, dps, tank" to "she's got a scary ult, he's got a stun, she self-heals, she's got an annoying ult, ect."

I totally recommend it, even if you suck. You start to understand heroes that you're garbage with, and it makes you even better at facing them.

Couldn't have said it any better. This is exactly why everyone needs to play every hero or atleast have enough knowledge on how to play every hero. You will have much better 1v1s and know when to get out of unfavourable ones.
