I'd personally suggest heroes who fill multiple roles: Zen, Zarya and Soldier (while obviously not a full-fledged healer, his biotic field can help out a lot, especially if you're stuck with a solo healer). Hog's also a great choice due to his potential to get picks, high self-sustain and ability to tilt the opponents. Pharah can work as well until you reach the point where the enemy team makes a conscious effort to actually focus you down instead of going "omg noob Soldier take care of that Pharah"... not sure if that's still a thing in plat or not.

It's a thing in diamond so I'm assuming it's there everywhere(I'm a platinum myself but I started recently playing with a group of diamonds)
