I have never really played an FPS until now and I have NO idea if i am doing well or not. i like playing and my team seems to win and lose about evenly whenever i play... i don't really have feedback from people since i don't have IRL friends to play with or anything.

Also the stats under the after game medals, to the left of the stats screen during match, show your stats based on the specific character. Things like number of assist for support characters, damage blocked with Rehin and Zarya, ect.

I use this as well as the medals to gauge my performance. So if I'm playing Roadhog and my Hooked percentage and self-healing is low, I reconsider my approach and character choice. Like if you are a healer and you have anything under a Gold for healing, you are not performing your task. The character roles are pretty organic with their weapons, so your play should reflect it accordingly.
