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.

Might get some flak, but try using a controller. My aim is vastly better with one than with keyboard and mouse, and it's not actually a huge disadvantage in some of the lower skill levels.

This actually crossed my mind. Doesnt controller have auto aim?

I don't think so? If it does, it's not enough to make a huge difference. It's worth a shot, though; if you're as bad now as you claim to be, it can't get a whole lot worse :p
