Is Natasha Better for People with Poor Aim?

I have been trying out all the classes recently trying to get good at the game. My main problem with the heavy is my aim. If somebody comes right up to me and starts strafing in one direction, I can't hit them. I keep sweeping side to side trying to see them, and I always overaim when I do that. Also, my aim in general is lax because enemies can move. If I used Natasha would I get more accuracy? Honestly I like how Sasha is more powerful, but power is nothing without aim.

You just need to aim better with Sasha.  Believe me, it gets easier with practice.

No, Natascha's not better. If you lose tracking for a moment with Sasha, you lose a moment of damage. If you lose tracking for a moment with Natascha, the enemy changes speed and is harder to reacquire.

The time when it's hard to aim is when an enemy's circle-strafing you; in that situation, they move so fast that they'd be tricky to hit with either gun until you up your aim.

Seriously, my aim is the worst. I can't really play demo or scout because I just can't point my gun at people. But even I've gotten good at aiming with Sasha - it doesn't take too much practice. I was probably a decent aim by about 40 hours.

That makes sense. I like Sasha better anyway.

40 hours huh? I only have 4 with Heavy... Looks like my method is right.

I'm going to get 40 hours with each class. Once I hit 40 hours of one class, I stop doing that class as much and focus more on another class.

So far I have Medic at 46 hours, following close with spy at 32 hours.

Although I have a looooooong way to go. (I have 7 classes with less that 15 hours, 4 of which under 10 hours.)

I like how you're going about it.  That's a pretty cool idea.

By the time you're done you'll have a real feel for each class' weaknesses and strengths and be a better player over all for it.

I kinda wish I had done this at the start now.

What you should really do is focus on learning to DM with the combat classes... Once you learn how to use each classes' abilities to gain tactical advantages over others, and gearing your ability in matchups against several other classes (picking your battles), you will most likely find yourself more at-home when you play specialized or indirect classes.

Play Medic. Play lots and lots of Medic. I don't care if your healees suck at DM'ing. It will give you a feel of how important it is to cooperate with your teammates, because if you don't it normally spells out death for the more vital members of your team. (Especially the Medic).

Also don't play Pyro. Ever.

I cannot tell you how many times I have died to to somebody not warning me of an incoming pyro, or us both dying when I say, "pyro coming up behind us, somebody help me kill him oh crap he's killing me oh no!"*dead* "Lolz, wher ourz medical goez? Our medic suxorz!"
