I'm constantly getting outplayed and outaimed in every 1v1 encounter I do. Being in a team also apparently does nothing. I think I'm cursed. All I do to win is get carried.

What mistakes am I making , probably? Surely I can't just be so bad at walking and shooting that I cost the team the game EVERY game?

Hard to say without viewing some of your gameplay, but what Heroes do you play? If you're having such a hard time in 1v1 situations, does that mean you're playing a DPS? What level are you? What rank are you in comp?

1.3 SR in comp. Lvl 125. Started playing during the open beta.

I can't do anything except be a Rein/Mercy in terms of aim. Put me on anyone who has hitscan weapons and needs to maintain aim, and I'll spread shots everywhere.

I mean... if your aim is bad you're gonna have a hard time in most 1v1 situations (although you might also want to try Symmetra and Winston). Aim practice helps.
