Actually I consider myself a pretty sucky FPS player and, once I understood Tracer's role, she became one of my favorites. She's not really on the team to rack up kills as straight offense or hang around the objective as straight defense. She's kind of a no strings attached character. She's an annoying gnat who zips behind the enemy line and pesters & ganks when possible, pulling the opposing team's attention away from the objective. The trick is remembering her rewind ability (E). When she gets hit, rewind gets her out of the situation pretty quickly (and heals), especially if you can get your bearings quick enough and zip even further to safety or a healing pack if you're still being chased. Also, rewind is great for getting out of falling to your death, which can happen when you go blink-crazy and mess up.
It's basically a class for those who like to play like a spaz and grief the other team.

I love playing Tracer, and I generally do the same. She's best on maps where you can predict where the attacking player will route towards the objective. Harass them, stop them from taking flanks on your position, and try to get them to chase you. It's easy to get 2-3 players focused on chasing a white rabbit, and that makes the rest of the defending team's life much easier.
On the attack, I generally pick another character. Although her grenade can be REALLY good at taking out a cramped team, she tends to fare less well with the number of turrets that can fly around.
RE: Winston: He rocks at taking down snipers and turrets. He's an amazing offense character for cleaning up the back ranks and denying the defending team's position. Against front line DPS characters, he's not so great (or anyone who can negate his mobility).

Also the game is 80$ (before tax) which is a lot. But I talked my friend into getting it so we'll split the price. I also won a Magic tournament a while back which gave me a $100 credit on Xbox that I haven'\t spent so that's a good fit too.
Yeah, would be fun if we all played! I think I'm pretty out of touch from the beta tho. I used the Dwarf turret viking pirate guy mostly and I hear he's a bottom-tier character now since a nerf.

Everyday I play Battle Islands, Battle Ages and Magic: Duels before I even think of touching another game. Lately, it's been trial versions of a ton of games and LIMBO (again).

Some of my best matches have been with him. His nerf hasn't made him weak, just gotta be smart on where turrets go.

Soldier76, Pharah, Hanzo, Mercy. Once you've adjusted to how things go, you can swap to anyone, taking care perhaps to avoid Zarya and Ana, as they need some pretty subtle play to be effective.
I am on PS4, so we won't overlap, sadly, but enjoy!
I currently "main" Roadhog and Lucio, and am totally comfortable playing Winston, Reinhardt, Junkrat, and Genji. I can and have played them all, save Ana (too new on the PS4, have barely had a chance).

Get in front of your bastion and turrets and protect them.
I've noticed that because of how ultimates charge, you don't necessarily have to shoot healers first, you can totally shoot the tanks and fill your meters

Had a game today where we took both points in about 3 minutes.
