Hi. I am right now sitting in gold, but I know that I can get higher if I just play more than I do already. Im just scared of taking my widow into comp, even though im pretty good with her. Can someone please help me with this fear of using new heroes in comp?

Youll never be able to climb if you dont play.
If you feel youre effective on widow and want to play her in comp- then play her!
Honestly, your rank doesnt matter all that much as long as youre having fun. At one point I was like that too, but not everything depends on how high you are in SR.
Beside, when youre in gold theres still a lot for you to improve on, so if you focus on the things that youre not very good at, you can work towards those!
Dont set yourself hard goals to reach. I dont mean that in the way you shouldnt try at all, but set realistic things that you can achieve.

It appears you don’t need any help with your mentality. You’re already in a better position than most.
Play more, pay attention, persevere.
Keep in mind that losing half of your matches is the expected outcome. So, you’ll lose matches, and sometimes for factors that are out of your control (better enemy team, disconnects, smurfs, trolls, etc).
Once people understand and internalize the 30-40-30 rule, this usually removes a lot of weight on that responsibility to win every single match. You start understanding that you should just try your best. Sometimes this will give you a win, and sometimes it will not be enough to prevent the loss.
Just play the game and you’ll climb, and switch if you’re getting countered or constantly lose the Widow duel against the enemy smurf. To be honest Gold isn’t that bad of an elo, it’s Plat and Diamond where folks get really talkative about how “trash” you’re.
Talk your time, and enjoy the game.
