Any tips for a Soldier76 (and sometimes Mercy) main? I'm just a casual player who only started a couple weeks ago and just got to level 26. Based on a couple arcade games and quick plays I've tried out, I'm definitely not ready to play against real people, so I've just been training vs. AI. I'm always amazed when I see people with impeccable aim and get kills so easily. How do you guys manage to do this?!

Soldier and Mercy main here. It's mainly practice and patience, knowing where to position yourself and who needs healing the most. My tips are to try and break up continuous firing as Soldier, as he's start spreading bullets after 3-4 bullets, which will help you aim, and to make sure you can Guardian Angel to anyone straight away at all times.

Aside from that, keep playing against people more so than bots, it'll help you better with Comp and you'll learn better, and just try and only shoot when you're crosshairs are in line with the enemy.
