6 sec helix rocket cd
i think not all dps need burst damage
they should make soldier unique by bringing consistent damage and sustain
like increasing his ammo to 30 / 35
or reducing his healing station to 12 sec (from 15)
or even both
making him better at sustain long range dps
It’s better than FTH with no cooldown, or Widow’s 0.9 second one shot.
Honestly the buff was just to help him compete against McMachinegun and Spamzo. That was it really.
Soldier gets 6 sec on his ability but Hog still can’t go back to 6 for Hook? What the what?
He has a better winrate than both of them in GM
He really didn’t need any buffs
Especially not to Helix Rockets
The difference is; Hog has 600 health and a 300 burst heal, with a stun CC into a oneshot combo and a disperse/crowd control ult.
Soldier has a gun, run and is susceptible to stun.
Winrate doesn’t surpass the fact of “this hero is weak.” Torb could have the highest winrate and still receive buffs.
Infact, Doomfist two patches ago, with his 2.3% pickrate and 52% winrate, was still nerfed.

Soldier 76 already is a burst damage… wdym?
he fires 9 bullets a second, that + helix you have no chance
I would have preferred a magazine increase to 35 and a less spread. But it’s a nice quality of live buff and it shows that they aren’t ignoring him.
But Hog is a friggin ult battery. Especially after the Orisa synergy gone.
Soldier doesn’t risk being lit up like the more easy to hit Hog.
Not every hero NEEDS to be unique. Some have their own uniqueness, making them burst doesn’t remove all character.
Bastion
Bastion, Reaper, Mei…
I think in the grand scheme of things it’s not as bad of a power-creep as it could be. It may just bring 76 back in line and make him more viable than he is. Right now you can play him, and he’ll work better than he had because of the shield nerfs, but he still has a near-useless ult in the face of barriers that are deployable at will.
Honestly this probably just means 76 will take down barriers faster and actually get a pick instead of taking out the barrier then getting out a clip only to have the barrier come back up right when you try to finish someone with a helix.
maybe if u are hitting a tank
even dafran cant kill people that quick unless they are standing still
Torbjorn is actually very underestimated in this current climate,
his ultimate is next to none imho
Soldier is in a very similar spot
if he isn’t contested he will hard carry
but when he is contested his value drops a lot
not as much as the likes of Symmetra or Zenyatta
but very similar
correction, i mean hitscan long range sustain heroes
I beg to differ, I have a very good friend who used to be a T500 soldier 76 1 trick.
He no longer plays the game, but he inspired me to start playing S76
Good map pools for Torb right now too, he can fill the entire corridor on King’s Row and most of the objective on Illios.
The change is fine, it gives Soldier a better uptime without getting too strong. He can “reengage” faster
Not to mention that if you time it right, Hog can stand next to a D.Va bomb, hit TAB, and live.
We’ll see how it goes honestly, I think he was fine since the shield changes, but this is a nice change either way.
So can Rein, Sigma, Winston and Orisa with their shields.
Soldier can run away.
I’m not sure what to make of this argument.
