Just play Genji and jump, strafe, shoot. Pharah too if you played a lot of low gravity.

SoloQ is a shitshow but if you get more serious about it and need to win: Coordination, Teamwork, Timing.
Game is less about the 1v1 and more about when to Ult, use your allies, etc. The game isn't setup as Rock, Paper, Scissor for 1v1.
Learn your opponents abilities, exploit their cooldowns/weaknesses. If I see Roadhog throw a hook that's my cue to go in on him. A bastion in turret mode is my cue to flank.
I see tons of worthless ultimates, hold it for the opportune time, but also don't want to hold it forever.
It really is an FPS that is less about twitch and more about thinking.

its $48 on amazon and best buy (if you have GCU) for origins edition, which is the only thing available for consoles. For PC it gets you an extra 5 skins for heros and some minor goodies for hearthstone / HoTS, over a digital buy. The PC Origins edition is a code but its shipped so you'd have to wait for shipping unless you go to a store. Its also $48 at Fry's Electronics today but you need a code from their daily emailer. If you have amazon prime you can use amazon now/today to get it within a few hours, too.
re: gfycat, you have to use the tag [ gfycat] [ /gfycat] and put only the last part of the url inside it, like this

People wanting to play mercy are always a good thing having a couple people willing to do it on a team makes a big difference especially for the tanky folks. Mercy also with her fly to ally power is one of the few who can keep up with reinheart charging around the map like a crazy thing.

I got a number of them on Roadhog, really all depends on who you hook/shotgun.
Tracer, McCree, and Reaper are pretty much hook, shotgun dead.
Widow, Hanzo, Genji, Soldier 76, Bastion and Junkrat have a bit more health and you'll need a hook, shotgun x 2 or melee. Most of those characters will run though when after you hook/shotgun them so if you don't hit them with melee, you can usually just shotgun them a 2nd time. Soldier 76 can be a bit harder if he drops down his healing pod.
The support are just a bit harder except for Lucio who is a freaking pain in the but. Zen is the easiest of the supports followed by Mercy and then Symmetra (because of her mini turrets). Lucio, unless at like half health, will require team support to usually kill so pull him in and let your team kill him.
Tanks are all team kills, if you can get behind Reinhardt and hook him it's great. Hook Winston outside his bubble, D. Va I tend to hook, shotgun and then jump over her as most people will just stand their trying to shoot the big fat tank.
I try not to fight Torb/Mei as they are pretty much the counters to Roadhog.
Also if you don't know you can juggle people with your ultimate as well as knock people off areas to die. I love doing this, especially to Reinhardt even when he has his shield up. Just walk into him past his shield and juggle away.
I noticed a sort of "voidstar effect" on some maps, where a defending team's kill timing could get the attackers spread out. So the respawns run back and fight one at a time vs the whole enemy team. Kind of a strange timing consequence thing.
(in voidstar you get these random door delays that pretty much decide the match)

I've been mainly focusing on D.Va/Mercy, since no one seems to want to be tanky or healy. Soldier 76 for when our dmg is low, or for payload modes.
Being Mercy when I actually have a team that'll stick near the objective is the absolute best.
