Sounds very interesting in theory. Would definitely be tricky to implement correctly with the right values.

Worth a try. It’ll promote a more calculated, fast paced gameplay as opposed to never ending, brawly fights that has been the problem with the recent metas (GOATS, GOATS v2/shieldwatch). The main problem with OW with the recent metas is that the most efficient tactics were the ones with the most amount of sustain as opposed to faster, more risky but more rewarding playstyle.

I’ll give you reload while sprinting and 30 ammo capacity. DAS IT, final offer

Agreed. He really needs a bigger clip and sprint reload would be a great QOL improvement.

Not with a killer Biotic Field, though.

In the absence of any meaningful character development or lore, I think the fanbase would be pretty happy with the image of a 76 clonking Reaper on the head with a bio-field in the killfeed.

Shrugs. Deal.

@Candi-1322

Soldier is well balanced; he isn’t picked because he is terrible against barriers, and barriers are dominant right now. So the balance changes are meant to weaken barriers, so other heros have their chance to shine. Just buffing heros that are otherwise fine but terrible against that meta is what causes power-creep in the first place.

He can still play around Barriers, just a QoL-buff or small something would help him feel a bit smoother to play as.

@Piltmannen-2326

Soldier is perfectly countered by any one of the barriers and we just got one more attached to a ridiculously overpowered hero.

Soldier 76 needs a rework that will preferably give him some real mobility and a defensive skill to counteract one-shots.

I don’t see a Rework for him in store anytime soon. If anything, one-shots could use some minor tweaking.

Ehh, I’m sure we can implment this sorta Ability for a future Hero?

I think I just found inspiration for my next drawing…

[EvelUp-1190]

I think he could find a niche as a support/dps hybrid. He already is to an extent, but I think giving his kit a tiny bit of healing/utility outside of Biotic Field would give him a lot more versatility.

Say, give his Sprint a weak speed boost to allies. Turn him into a competetor for Lucio, and an alternative synergy with Reinhardt.
