Biggest Mistakes I See Frequently

Too many or too few of a class type: A squad should never have more than 1 defense and it's a good idea to stick with only 1 support. If you run into a squad with strong attacking characters and you...

Bloodhound is imo useless, if you want to increase your chances of winning you could just play "meta" (Wraith-Lifeline-Pathfinder). Anything else would decrease your chances of winning. Sure you could swap the Pathfinder around, but thats about it (for a Bangalore or Wattson). Even Gibraltar is a better pick than BH atm (have a look at the global stats for BH, only worst legend is Caustic).

I prefer Octane, especially for solo queue. I'm definitely having the most success with him in ranked so far (and I've barely played him before, so I'm still learning).
So far, for me: octane > crypto > wraith > path > bangalore >> everything else.
I wouldn't say Bloodhound is useless, but I would definitely never pick him over Crypto. Crypto is just better at surveilance in every possible way. Bloodhound-bangalore is still a nice smoking combo though, if they actually work together. If there's no bangalore/caustic in team and few/none bangalore/caustic enemies, then there's little reason to play BH.
P.S. I wouldn't say caustic is that bad either, but my experience this season with caustics on my team have been so far: in solo queue ranked, caustic seems to always be the player who makes the absolutely nonsensical terrible decisions. So the bad stats may be more the fault of the caustic players and not just the legend.

  @Koochi-Q just being honest ☹️ stopped playing BH after S0. People hear me from miles, can pinpoint my location from breathing noise (ultimate) fov changes - meh.

    I think the ultimate mistake is when you aren't jump master and ping a place on the map you want to go to and then drop by yourself. Jumpmaster means just that, they dictate where you go off the drop. If you want to suggest a spot fine but if the jumpmaster pings a spot just follow. It's not that difficult to understand. Then the best part is the solo dude gets killed and is spamming the crud out of pinging his banner to be picked up. Lol
