So I did solo queue for comp mode, and it actually turn out alright, and my team won. It was close too and was almost going to be sudden death, but we were able to snag that last control point in the 2 mins that we had at the end.
I don't think I be able handle of these long matches a lot through lol. I probably would still not bother with solo queue really.

Added to the OP.
Tips: Don't play Hanzo if you don't want other players to look at you weird.
New to OW or new to PC shooters?
Thanks. Appreciate it!
I played maybe one or two matches in the beta on a friend's PC. So, still pretty new to Overwatch. PC Shooters are mainly cooperative like L4D2 or Payday2, not much on the competitive side.

Heh, I started at 45 tonight and ended at 44.
Would've stayed at 45 after about 5 games, but the three stack on Dorado forgot to push the payload after I died to clear the path as Zarya. Took out the teleporter and everything, but they pushed past the cart to go for kills.
I'll admit I wasn't very kind on the mic after that.
Play with the char specific settings a lot like Duckroll said. @800 DPI 6-7 is around where most people are on sensitivity, but you might want lower for somebody like soldier or higher on like Pharah. Also if you play Soldier it might be worth having a crosshair that shows bloom while on other chars you might perfer dot or something.
Get good at a few chars too, dont be afraid to switch in game. OW is pretty generous with most of the heroes being straightforward to use starting out. You can start looking up tricks once you find chars you really wanna do more with.
LOL I just noticed that part of my play of the match video from that solo queue match I did had me as Pharah sending a just turned molten core Torbjorn out of the map with concussive blast.XD
That felt so good getting rid of him like that before he could cause trouble ha ha.

But did you get his turret?!
He was in the process of building it. Yeah maybe he should had set that up first lol.

So I finally got a double legendary drop. One of them was gold but the other was one of the only two skins I bought. Eat a dick RNG

Oh boy that must have felt GREAT. Lol.
Only one I really needed was swapping hogs e and shift. Hook makes more sense on e
I had an awesome knockback the other day with Lucio into a Rein charge...

And a Reaper that wasn't impressed with our Mei's wall...

Probably one of my favorite moments pretty much lol, especially since his ult can be really annoying. Had a nice co-ult with Zarya right after too that to wipe out the last couple of enemies defending the control point. Shall be worthy to upload online.
Pharah continues to be freaking blast.
Oh man that knockback and Rein charge looked nicely sync.XD
Can I make a suggestion to Blizzard?
If you join a game with a Hanzo and Widowmaker on your team at the start, you should be able to quit the game with zero penalty. Because the kind of people who are going to pick the other sniper when there's already one sniper are the kind of people who aren't going to change heroes no matter what, no matter how badly you're losing.

This is pretty important advice. Being able to see HP for characters like Soldier 76 and Zarya can really come in handy. Knowing who needs to be healed or needs to be shielded the most can really extend the time your team stays on the objective. While we're at it, another option that I advise to turn on is the feed of deaths in the top right corner of the screen. Knowing who died and especially to what can be critical information for a team that isn't that communicative.
I'd like an asterisk behind people's names if 75% of their total playtime is logged to a single character.
I totally planned it out that way...sure. lol
A 'no weeaboos' matchmaking option that removes Genji, Hanzo, and D.Va from the pool, thanks.
i know that D.Va is Korean!!!!!!!
Sad to say that Mei is slowly becoming my, 'I never have a reason to play this character' character.
Even as simple as Bastion is,I see his purpose and he can be fun to play in certain situations. Mei is just like 'I don't know I can block people'. Like I can annoy people as Mei. But I can annoy people as Winston and do a way better job of it. I can kill people with icicles. That's novel for a minute. But I play McCree. So it feels like intentionally gimping myself comparatively even with Mei's other kits. And it's like if we need a defense character, I mean... Bastion, Junkrat and Tobjorn almost always seem like better calls.
Related to Junkrat, I guess it's jsut avoidable in higher play or something because I don't see how Junkrat's concussive grenade isn't under the same swing of McCree's original Flashbang/FTH. It just does so much damage. He does so much damage but then to have an on demand explosion that does a lot of damage and is on a very short cooldown. I feel dirty every time I play Junkrat because I gold medal everything. Even over characters I've spent much more time with like Winston, Pharah, Zenyatta, McCree, Genji, Reaper. It is ridiculous. I am every Lucio and Tracer's nightmare. but I'm also every Genji's nightmare, every 76's. And I don't think I"m that great at Junkrat either. He's just so, so strong a performer.
Though at the same time I'd hate to see it nerfed because the last thing Tracer needs is another counter to her nerfed.

You build up ult so quickly in PTR though.
Thing mei has over junk and mccree really is that she's a lot more survivable than either. She needs a buff though, as shocked as other people may be at that idea.

Man, I just had the most ragtag team in solo queue just completely dominate what looked like basicall ya premade solo queue slaughterhouse.
Our team
Winston-Zarya-Reaper-76-Symmetra-Genji
Their team
Zarya-Lucio-Mercy-Tobjorn-Bastion-Tracer
And we just steamrolled them on Hollywood of all places. I killed their Lucio, the Bastion and Tobjorn were distracted by the team in the main gate. I flanked behind them and killed the Bastion and the Tobjorn and his turret. I killed the Mercy. I killed the Tracer. It was like Planet of the Apes in this bitch with zero communication going on.

No healers and your team beat a Lucio/Mercy combo? Everyone on that team should be dropped to Rank 10 out of shame.
protect your healers, people!

I think she needs a skill change to make her not suck the fun out of the game as much as she sucks the heat out of her enemies first.

Reduce freeze effect, buff icicle.
Done.
Make freeze something that is only good to do to slow down in team fights but more viable for people to escape in a 1 v 1 situation, and make her icicle the go to attack. Which it should be anyway, just make it more viable.

Can I get a buff to McCree's fan the hammer? If you want to be balanced, make it only apply to shields.
Basically, Reinhardt's shield is completely fucked and you can't do shit about it because the cooldown is so short even when it breaks. Especially since you're never close enough to hit the flashbang trick anymore since Fan the Hammer is completely useless compared to headshots and they continue in the 'McCree is mid to long range' direction on PTR

They have the same health though.
Why? She's a healthy living human being. Reaper barely even has a body!

I seriously have never encountered so many quitters in my life. Over 15 games and as soon as one team wins one game people leave. Yikes.

"Is this EZ mode?"
Then salt spray after the kill so they can see that in the killcam.
👌👌👌
On a similar note, I love using Lucio's knock back on people trying to hide from my team mate's D.va self-destruct. I swear I can feel the rage.
2bear she has the same HP as reaper, 250!
