BNet is Kaeus#1652 if you want to add me!
I like to kill people with Widowmaker, Hanzo, Reaper, and Ginji. Tracer is alright but I run interference more than killing people with her it feels like. Just show up and be a pest and -threaten- to kill someone for 2 minutes.

I suck, don't play with me.

Edit: I'm starting to develop such a deep hatred for Tracers that I just immediately switch to Roadhog or Mei as soon as I see one. I had a play today where I guessed really hard where she was going to rewind to and I fired my hook and snagged her as soon as she popped up. She accused me of hacking lol. "I'm a Tracer main and I've never had that happen before." was their reasoning. Tracer mains just leave a bad taste in my mouth, like people who main Riven or Vayne (if you know LoL) cause all they wanna do is show off their zomgwtf watch me 1v4 and get play of the game mekanix. But then when they die it's everyone else's fault but theirs.
And Zarya. She's much stronger than I initially gave her credit for. Believe it or not, I actually have fun dealing with Bastion. He's basically a noobcheck and you can wreck him pretty easily provided you don't just keep on funneling in to your death. Since I've been maining Reinhardt, I'll just wait for him to empty his chaingun, then just dash at him and 2-shot him with the crush-swing combo.
She makes the game unfun to play and I am regretting buying it.
It sucks when you play solo though, because then you're not playing support/tank to supplement your friends who you're actively communicating with, you're playing support/tank and trying to herd around a bunch of random clueless peons most of the time, and it's not really fun or rewarding.
Plus, if your friends are much friends at all you guys will switch roles up so one person isn't stuck playing the same thing 20 games in a row. Definitely don't recommend this game for solo play with the reason you provided, the team comp reliance makes you too susceptible to other people's selfishness.
Every day I play this game, I see bugs and bull**** anyways. It's becoming less and less fun to play. Today, I got shot through my shield as Winston by a Widowmaker and went from 300 hp to dead by it. The other day, I was dueling Widowmaker as Widowmaker and she was standing still. I shot her in the head, and it missed 'somehow' despite the projectile going through her. Then she shoots me without moving, still, and headshots me. It's stupid stuff like that. Playing Tracer and unloading an entire clip into someone yet every shot misses. I'm growing more and more disinterested in this game.
And I'd like to politely request that people refrain from calling me 'bad' at this game, because due to the fact that I take games fairly seriously, I am liable to get myself banned from the forums in my response.

It is also worth noting the full clip spray effect for hitscan weapons (tracer and soldier 76 in particular) is rather large. I think I recall someone saying the first 5 shots in a burst from 76 are pretty accurate after that it starts to vary wildly. I believe it is very true with tracer as well. She's a character that rewards short bursts and accuracy. Unless you're shooting a roadhog to charge your ult.
In terms of Mei, I do feel like she's strong in a wide variety of situations, but you could make that argument about a lot of the heroes. I personally haven't had that much trouble with Mei, so long as you know how to deal with her. Tracer can outmaneuver all of her CC. Reinhardt can rocketdash out of it. Roadhog just needs to land a hook. As previously stated, McCree dumps on her pretty hard whether you catch her on guard or off of it. Also, if a Hanzo or a Widowmaker can't outsnipe a Mei, they're doing something very wrong. For them, outtrading at close range is the only thing that's gonna be nigh impossible. Pharah wrecks her as most of her stuff is short ranged and Mei is highly immobile which is what Pharah loves. Just position yourself behind Mei and catch her off guard and as long as your aim isn't all that bad, you'll wreck her every time. Yes you can still be potentially sniped with her right click, but you should be able to out trade her fairly reasonably. Reaper can potentially dump on Mei too. His Blackwind(hue) ability breaks her freeze before it lands and resets the timer. There's plenty of outplay potential there. Of course, good ole Zarya shield blocks it all out - although I feel like Mei is a very strong tank duelist. The only two she struggles against really badly are Roadhog and Zarya imo. Also i'm not trying to harp on you @Satomi but if you put Zarya + Mercy on quite a number of champions, they'll become dramatically worse to deal with (Roadhog, S76, Pharah, Bastion, just to name a few).
To @Draiman getgud. But no, from what i've been seeing, proper team comps seem to win you more games. Still, i've been stomped my fair share of times by enemy teams full of nothing but offensive heroes cause they straight outplayed us.
I think at the end of the day, we're all noobs that don't have the deepest understanding of the game just yet, as it hasn't been out for very long. We all should just chill and just wait to see what happens.
My roommate invited me into a game and it was less painful to play.
This is why I love asynchronous PvP. Say what you want about Watchdogs singleplayer, but I enjoyed the thrill of sneaking into other peoples games, or having mine sneaked into, and the delicious game of cat-and-mouse that followed in its multiplayer.

But, back on topic, pubbies gonna pub. All you can really do is accept that or wait for your friends to roll around. Them's the breaks when you're running with a group of people you've never met--it's sucky, but not much to be done about it.
