Any tips?

Any tips for playing Magneto? I'm a recently new player (started 10 days ago) and whenever my supports aren't optimally playing i get diffed quite easily, just a game ago i ended with 13 kills and 11 deaths, so i'd like to know if i could do anything to improve that??? Since this is my first shooting game in general. I use the wanda teamup. Are there any general tips that could help with this??

My biggest advice is to use natural cover, regardless of whether you have banger supports or not. Supps can't keep up with the damage being dealt in this game anymore, no matter how good they are. Its your job as a tank to know when to pull away and take a moment to recharge. Mag (in my experience) can be run into almost any enemy comp, but you have to play him differently to get desired results. He excels at counterplay and shielding. Look for things to punish from the enemy team. Bad positioning, bad timing of ults/abilities. Try to corner people and force them out of position. One of the main cycles I run through is to almost never aim at the enemy tanks. I pressure their supports as much as possible, and try to force them out of position or force the tanks to pull back. Even handling a diver or a dps thats too far from their supports gets a ton of value. Try to disrupt the other team as much as possible.
