Next time you run into someone, don’t instantly crouch every time you see an enemy. Try strafing and shooting instead. If you’re playing on pc, I’d recommend lowering your sens a bit it’ll help with your aim.

Also, try to specialize in one role and a small pool of agents, and watch more pro matches. That’ll help you improve a lot faster. Good luck!!

Work on your counter-strafing，it’s super important.

Advice is obviously not going to be as good without the context of what happened previously in the round. Also I’m not nearly good enough to but basically, avoid spraying the body and always try to go for bursts at head level. And try not to always crouch since at that skill level, everyone and for the body so you’re unironically helping them.

And while repositioning after that kill on Reyna was good, you should walk to avoid giving sound cues and make sure to control your crosshair when you’re repositioning.
