If anyone could take a few minutes to watch these replays and give me some pointers, I would really appreciate it...
New to hero shooters (usually a cozy gamer and newish to gaming in general) but have been enjoying rivals since February. My aim is terrible so I typically play C&D, Wanda, and have been dabbling with jeff and gambit, but it is time for me to move on and broaden my choices and Magik is the girl for me. I absolutely adore her kit and she feels like a doable hero for me regarding aiming. I have a lot of fun with her and feel lik she fits me well.
I've been trying SO hard practicing her in the range and in the A.I mode on EASY.... but, even on easy, I just can't keep up with the amount of kills my teammates are getting and it is really disheartening me 😢
Is there any hope for me from what you see of my gameplay? Obviously it is user error and lack of skill on my part.
I am learning her combos but I struggle to put them into action when in actual gameplay and out of the range. Is the lack of combo usage where I am going wrong? I also realise I waste a lot of her sword projectiles because by the time its charged, the target is out of sight or someone else has taken the kill. I'm also aware I tend to overextend and go into impossible brawls too much but im just trying to get my stats up, man. I feel like I'm trying so hard to find opportunities but just cant keep up 😭
Can anyone tell me if i'm missing lots of opportunities, or using her kit wrong?
The following replays are from yesterday... I have since clicked with how to utilise her ULT more effectively
If anyone minds offering a little of their time to watch these and give me kind critique and pointers (please be nice, my confidence is shaky with these things), I would appreciate it so much...

I play on controller (steam deck) if that makes any difference
Thanks in advance,
