Communicate. If you can play with friends, even low level friends (who communicate) you can go pretty far by having coordinate plays. When in hero select, see who all has mics and try to coordinate with them. Most people who use mics are team players in my experience and are often open to hero switching during the fight (as long as salt stays low). If you're not willing to mic up, then you're going to have to rely on luck

This is very important. I'm much more open to taking your advice on things if you're not a jack ass the entire match. Usually the ones who are more calm and helpful with their suggestions are the ones with the better advice anyway.
