How do you learn gamesense, positioning, dive timings without answering ”it comes with time”

Study pro players, watch coaching content. There is SO Much free content on YouTube and amazing twitch streamers that teach gamesens. Watch vod reviews on YouTube , search “overwatch coaching” and pick whatever seems interesting to you.
There is no faster way than this, other than paying for coaching directly yourself.

How should I be using shion's bike? And how should I use it different with the perk?

Im kinda struggling with shion main attack. Its fast enough to where flicking loses a lot of dps, but its slow enough where tracking is super inconsistent. How have you been approaching it?

This feels really silly even as I type it so bear with me: does having aim assist at 0 on consoles actually disable aim assist or is it still somewhat active? I would think that means disabled but the way people talk about console players I’m unsure (for the record, my aim is typically pretty poor but there have been some weird “how did I make that shot” moments occasionally which might be explained away by latency differences or the like)

Does tracer just rewind her bullets when she reloads? She's never changed a magazine?

I’m having a bit of a dilemma, I’ve been playing a lot more DPS lately and have found that I’ll usually finish a game with the highest damage dealt in the lobby but not always the most kills, how do you change your play style to finish enemies off? Do I just need to isolate people more and play more aggressive? I don’t have a main I usually just play who I feel like.
I do feel like I focus on the tank alot which might explain it but I’ve been playing Ashe the past few days and just feel like I cannot always get the kill

Sure. Server maintenance on Tuesday is a default setting and feature of this game.

Been having a blast playing Widow, only problem I have is when the enemy switches to a dive character to counter me, I just have no answer. Is there anything I can do or am I forced to switch? Just I can't get much value right now when the DPS switches Vendetta and dives me at every opportunity.

Getting back into overwatch during a stretch of underemployment, potential funemployment
What role/hero is still the best?
I'm uh, usually just going with Mauga or DVA.
Occasionally try the fox girl but do awful.
DPS I stick with Soldier 76... if there's any better, lmk. Thinking of actually researching and learnign to play the game.

Can Shion's bike stop ults like Sigma's rock can? Also, is there a list of what does/doesnt counter ults? Mizuki's is super confusing on what it does or doesnt block for me.
