I've been playing with heroes that are more difficult

Just as the title says, I've been playing with heroes that I find more difficult recently and It actually helped me improve more.

I like to play agressively, so I like Freya, Angela, Ixia and Melissa for most games. They are very fast in general and easier to kill with

On the other hand I haver an almost negative sense of survival (still learning when to advance or to retreat in the correct timing!), and I get killed a LOT, even when I play safe.

So I was looking what heroes I had and I stumbled across Brody. It is so different from what I usually do since he has a very low attack speed but also very high damage, that I was forced to balance more the survival hability.

Long story short, Brody was banned in a match so I went back to Ixia and holy shit. I had like, half of the death counting I usually get. Feels like I upgraded a little from crappy player to slight crappy player.
