Should I give up trying to play Widow?

Post Body

Three Years.., Three years I have spend trying week after week doing my best to learn, and get better as her. Aim settings being tweaked to hell and back, but no matter what I do, I get not only outplayed, but trying to maintain aim accuracy past 20% is near impossible. Even with using SEVERAL aim trainers, at most I can land about maybe 3 headshots at best per match, often getting focused down and forced to switch off.

Especially when characters like McCree, Hanzo, Soldier, and Ashe can easily outplay and provide better team play than me with , it just feels AWFUL trying to land a single shot on them when against those characters, or anyone for that matter, and don't get me started on the widow mirror match, which is even more demotivating. Even damn torb turrets provide more utility that Widow, and it makes me playing as her feel pathetic.

Arguably, she is definitely the weakest console dps in my opinion, due to how badly the console aim experience treats her compared to "0 skill headshot ez" Hanzo(he's projectile to be fair... and I also suck as him too, so really it's not fair for me to call him 0 skill, but it often feels like he's so much easier to land headshots with just by arrow spam into choke.)

Team needs a pharah check, and none of those listed characters on my team can do the job? I try as widow and she justs laughs and 2shots me.

So what can I, a Widowmaker fan(who desperately wants to get better as her, or ANY hitscan) can do? Should I keep trying? Or should I just give up and play other dps that I like, such as Reaper and Junkrat(aka, not very aim heavy characters)?

Any advice outside of "git gud" is appreciated.
