The thing is, there is no customizability that affects gameplay in Overwatch. So you have to often play generalist type heroes because otherwise you tend to get destroyed by people that are playing generalists.
Another thing is that specialists are often difficult to master and few in the community put time towards being good with them. So often you see that people who play a niche character tend to have little benefit to their team. Niche characters are often easy to counter as well, so on top of being very good those players have to have vast map awareness. They also have to have a very competent team to make up for their lack of versatility. This is extremely evident when two niche characters are on the same team.
So if you have Hanzo and Junkrat on the same team they will often times be destroyed by flankers who are made to counter them.
It doesn't help that Pharah is the only hero that can consistently hold a vertical threat and she directly counters most of the niche characters: Junkrat(mortar guy), Reaper (shotgun guy), Bastion (mini gun), Torbjorn (autonomous turret), Widowmaker (sniper), Hanzo (Bow & Arrow), Symmetra (multiple autonomous turrets). When she has permanent healing from Mercy she is almost unkillable unless she is killed by an insta kill shot. So if no one wants to deal with the only flying threat in Overwatch then your fight has ended before it starts.
In regards to throwing, when you are reported enough for it moderators will go back and look at the code for tour matches and determine whether you were throwing or if you were simply playing an unpopular hero. They do this by looking at what activities you did (healing, damage, damage taken) and see if you were doing anything that may imply throwing, but hero choice is not a factor.
Here is the caveat however, you don't need to listen to your teammates. You can play what you wish and there's nothing they can do about it. A small percentage will throw, but it's unlikely since throwing would only punish their SR worse than anyone else. In general they will have to deal with it.
I know the struggle because I play a lot of Reaper, Torbjorn, Ana, Hanzo and Zenyatta so I deal with salty people constantly. I don't let it bother me since often times I generate the best score. I also don't have voice enabled LOL

Except in Dust 514 often times there will be a lot of back and forth and the match will end closely or at least reasonably. However, Overwatch is much more team dependent since death is valued much higher than in Dust 514. In Dust 514 you can play without regarding your team and do well, so if you have one ding dong on your team it doesn't donk it up for everyone. However, in Overwatch having one incompetent guy on your team means 1/6 of your team is useless.
So in Overwatch if you don't work with your team you are done. It's honestly that easy. If one player isn't carrying their own weight your team is handicapped. Matches also tend to be rather short if your team isn't working together, so there's very little time to fix your mistakes.

Widowmaker works, D.Va works, Genji works, Tracer works, at medium distance McCree still works, Mei works, in CQC Junkrat works, Zenyatta works surprisingly well, in CQC Symmetra works, Zarya works well and Reaper works in CQC. Let's not forget that Mercy with Pharah tend to kill Soldier 76 in two rockets, so there's that.
Reaper 4 lyfe

Less tears, more Soldier Also, you never saw anyone carry in DUST? Were we playing the same game? Most matches were 1 to 3 strong performers and then a bakers dozen of idiots barely scraping by with 1 kd
Yeah, I wish there had been competitive in Dust 514 because that would have helped out solo players and would have resulted in less salt overall. P.C. was sort of competitive, but since it was voluntary rather than forced by matchmaker a lot of the time your odds of winning would be pretty random.

Yo, SR 4182 right here.
Things won't get much better the higher you go. There will be more people that understand how to play, but cooperation never really becomes standard.
