I know.
Nobody really cares about soldier but two helix rockets at a meagre 80 per rocket is a nerf. Soldier’s biggest problem is his lack of single-burst-damage killing power, and his one burst ability has become so much weaker.

It feels fun firing two total.
But yeah, it’s definitely noticeably worse overall lol

Eh, on paper it was definitely a buff, but yeah, after messing around with it a bit, I am not enjoying it much.

If the damage was 100 and there was no self damage I would like it. Using both charges and hitting perfectly should kill squishy people instantly, and 100 is a good number to help armour breaking.

I was super excited to see some changes after they nerfed my muscle memory with the recoil/damage nerfs only to learn his damage was nerfed some more and for no gain.
Orisa my favorite tank gets 100 shield health, gets 1 second added on cooldown…
Meanwhile Genji gets more buffs and more attention when he’s all ready fun to play.
The Devs are BRUTAL people. I wish I never started playing this game.
Once again, they’ve already announced these changes aren’t going live. There’s a pinned post right here

The thought process was to use them for mobility I imagine, what with the reduced self damage
All in all, another poor and unnecessary change
No amount of saying that is gonna make people happier with what’s there and what it may indicate
I wish they did something better tbh this just sucks
In all fairness, this wasn’t the devs. It was voted by pros and streamers.
The high SR players were complaining for years that the pros know best, Activision halfway accommodated, and we now have the worst Experimental since they started experimental.
It was a design-by-committee and the playerbase/committee failed.
It’s all just a popularity contest, meme or not.
Things I find fun are not popular and thus not protected and allowed to grow.
Mario Party Mechanics like one shots, boops, aoe instant death ultimates, and characters designed to be harder to hit than the character you’re currently playing, etc, cheapens the gameplay for me.
Now that the match maker is in 50/50 mode if you play solo, favorite characters are nerfed while the characters that were always fun stay popular and strong and the community really isn’t mature enough for a real team based game, I know I’m done.
Yeah , for me it’s a nerf .
Dev hate for Soldier will just never end. They clearly regret adding Call of Duty man into their MMO trinity shooter.
Reinhardt will get twenty straight buffs before Soldier gets one (which will be patched out once they realize their mistake).
It is 100% nerf. I cant count how many times there was “he should be dead with 120 damage rocket”
They should have rather thought about reworking his ult.
Yeah, I know this one wasn’t in the devs hand.
you do realize this was a meme patch right
geoff on that panel dont even try to stop any change at all, also he dont even comment about what are good and bad
he just follow 100% what are pro suggesting
also josh allready stat this patch aint gonna live
Actually you can quick fire them so you can technically outdual people in 1v1 plus before it was like between 120 to 140 before but with 2 it’s now 160 damage total so actually it’s buff
Yeah, but the pros and streamers got even Soldier wrong.
The so-called basic hero.
