Commander Jack Morrison, also known as Soldier: 76, is one of the most important and core members of the Overwatch cast, and has been hotly debated by the HotS community. Many people are not keen on seeing him in the game, and often say he should just be a Raynor skin, but I think he can be made into an interesting character, and we need a new auto attack carry type character in the game. This was a challenge, and I hope you all will enjoy it!
In HotS, Soldier: 76 is a powerful basic attack carry that must manage two resources to maximize his mobility and damage. He has brings powerful team utility through his healing and buffs he can provide.
Universe: Overwatch
Role: Assassin
Important Info
Attack Damage: 68
Attack Speed: 3.00
Attack Range: 5.5
Summon Mount
Z (Mount) – 4 Second CD
Increases your movement speed by 30% while mounted.
Explanation: There is no need for a special mount.
Super Soldier
Trait (Passive)
Soldier: 76 has two resource bars, side by side. He has Stamina, which is orange, and Focus, which is blue. He can have up to 50 Stamina and 50 Focus. Focus rapidly regenerates while not basic attacking for .5 seconds. Focus increases Soldier: 76’s basic attack damage by 1.5% per Focus, and depletes by 25 every .5 seconds after basic attacking for 1 second. Soldier: 76 can basic attack while moving, but moves at 75% speed and consumes 2 Stamina every .25 seconds moving and firing. Soldier: 76 can toggle the trait to disable basic attack.
Explanation: Super Soldier is the crux of the design, incorporating the idea of spread from Overwatch into a Moba-friendly design. The two resources pay into the design well, and differentiate the character from both Raynor as well as other basic attack characters. Upkeeping these resources is what makes Soldier: 76 his strongest.
Helix Rockets
Q (8 sec Cooldown)
Soldier: 76 fires a trio of rockets in a resizable target direction that explodes upon hitting an enemy or reaching maximum range, dealing 165 (+4% per level) damage in an area. Enemies hit directly by the rockets are dealt 100% increased damage.
Explanation: Helix Rockets is his signature poke and burst damage ability. He can use this in lane to dish out some damage, and a build can be made around it to make him into a mage-like assassin.
Sprint
W (.35 sec Cooldown)
(Passive) Soldier: 76 regenerates 5 Stamina every .25 seconds after not being in combat for 3 seconds. Soldier: 76 does not regenerate Stamina while using Sprint.(Active) Soldier: 76 starts to sprint, increasing his movement speed by 25% but becoming unable to basic attack while active. Using any ability cancels Sprint. Consumes 5 Stamina every .5 seconds active.
Explanation: Sprint dictates how Stamina is regenerated, as well as giving him a powerful movement speed option for chasing and escaping.
Biotic Field
E (16 sec Cooldown)
Soldier: 76 lays down a healing field for 3 seconds at his feet, which heals allies and Soldier: 76 while in it by 38 (+4% per level) every .25 seconds.
Explanation: Biotic Field gives Soldier: 76 a powerful team heal that cements his supportive side, creating a gap between him and similar basic attack characters. The high cooldopwn on the ability makes its usage crucial.
Tactical Visor
Heroic #1 (60 sec Cooldown)
Soldier: 76 activates his Visor, gaining maximum Focus instantly. For 8 seconds, Soldier: 76 automatically basic attacks the lowest health nearby enemy, prioritizing Heroes, without being slowed, not consuming Stamina or Focus. In addition, Helix Rockets fires the rockets at the lowest health nearby enemy, prioritizing Heroes, which homes in on them.
Explanation: Tactical Visor is an individual damage increase, which makes him far more mobile, with much more consistent damage potential, as he doesn’t need to worry about his two resources or being slowed while basic attacking. It also makes his Helix Rockets homes in, which removes the skillshot element of his playstyle for a short time.
Tactician
Heroic #2 (15 sec Cooldown)
Soldier: 76 commands his allies to do something by pinging an enemy Hero, Mercenary Camp, or allied Hero. If an enemy Hero was selected, Soldier: 76 and his allies deal 30% increased damage to them for 4 seconds. If a mercenary camp was selected, Soldier: 76 and his allies gain 20% increased movement speed while moving towards that camp while within a long radius of it. If an allied Hero was selected, they gain 40 Armor and receive 40% increased healing for 3 seconds.
Explanation: Tactician is a powerful team-oriented ability which plays on his commander role, and actually allows the player to make shot calls in game, buffing his team’s ability to accomplish the goals he lays out.
