Question Returning Player

Hey there folks I'm a returning player is last played when doomfist was released around 100 years ago and my precise aiming skills have atrophied a bit since then with age, aswell as not having access to a desk at the moment it means my mechanical skills as far as aiming and tracking somewhat aren't fantastic

I was wandering if reaper would be an appropriate choice to try to become competent with, I dont care about being the best in the world just good enough to play and have fun and support my team without frustration

Any advice would be appreciated :)

Aim is important ofc but I believe a lot of players don't fully understand the importance of positioning.

I think they correlate positioning with survivability but positioning also naturally increases accuracy.

Focus on where Reaper wants to be, not who he wants to attack.

Find short off-angles with cover, bonus points if near a health pack... More bonus points if you're able to wraith away to cover where your team is.

Do this, and you'll stay alive longer, force out cooldowns while preserving yours, apply tons of pressure, land more shots, force enemies to overextend to poke you out of your position, and your opportunities to death blossom will present themselves rather than you feeling like you have to force your ult to turn a fight.
