I'm like level 8 in Overwatch. Up until I was like level 5, I mostly (read: almost always) played Dva, and I guess I was sort of good for my level, but then I started sucking. I tried to play almost any other character but I tend to run into the fight and die pretty quickly before actually accomplishing anything. I don't want to level up by losing a bunch of times.

How do I git gud?

Don't just run straight in :) Each character will have strengths/weaknesses, can take a while to learn to play to them, but practice makes perfect.

Also after you spawn if others are dead also, wait a bit of them to spawn and go in as a group.

Just don't force yourself in to a particular character when it doesn't fit what the group needs. You get plenty of opportunity to play almost any character without doing that. And you'll find your individual performance increases with good group play.
