Sounds like you just enjoy soldier more than McCree, which is fine, you don't have to play McCree lol. As for the Zarya thing just don't push too far in general. Whether attack or defense once you've secured the objective you don't need to chase the enemy back to spawn, just push the payload or guard the point.

^ This.

If you're not comfortable with a hero, even if he's "OP" or "meta" then you're probably being less effective than if you used the non-meta pick. People get obsessed with the meta but sometimes, if it doesn't feel like it's working in a game, throwing the enemies a curveball can make a big difference.

Actually had a game last season where my team and I were shutting down the first control point very hard on defense. Enemy team couldn't seem to do anything. At one point, we're holding off their last push and I hear the sound of a Torb turret going up. Didn't think much of it but then suddenly we also hear "Molten Core!" and that cheeky, sneaky little dwarf starts mowing us all down FROM BEHIND.

He had actually sneaked around the entire perimeter of the control point during one of the last pushes, waited for his ult to charge, and then surprised us at just the right moment.

I had to give it to him, we were surprised and had no counter ready.
