literally the most broken dps to be released in OW. She has never been bad in any season, has literally some of the highest damage potential in the game, mobility to use in tricky situations, small hitbox and an insane ult. And guess what they did in season 8? buff her so her minimum charge became 25 instead of 0 when losing charge. so yeah, nerf sojourn and buff sym and junk, and hanzo as well.

She is strange. Whenever she is in my games she feels like she dominates. You get hit with her primary then, ZAP, that rail gun and you are dead or scrambling, you get healed up and suddenly there she goes again. It just feels like she applies constant pressure, and her ult is broken AF.
But when you look at her win-rate, she doesn’t seem to stand out Echo and tracer seem more problematic.
As a tank player I feel she needs a nerf, especially to her ult, but the stats don’t seem to back that up. Also, the devs say she performs well at high ranks but not a low ranks. I am at low ranks and it feels like she dominates here too.
She’s basically old Soldier who can headshot with rockets.

Kinda feels like we traded Widowmaker and Hanzo terrorizing lobbies to Soldier 76 and Sojourn

It’s like tracer, metal ranks don’t have the mechanics to be good at them.
That’s why you only see minor changes to both of them, those changes are irrelevant for low ranks.

Yes, this is true because I never ever saw Tracer dominate any of my metal rank lobbies outside cheaters. Soldier 76 and Sojourn though are absolute monsters to deal with.
At low ranks the tactic on sojourn seems to be to constantly shoot the tank. Build rail, rail, build rail, rail… It might be fun for sojourn, but those games are miserable on tank. It is just constant.

That’s the tactic for high ranked Sojourn too. Build charge on the easiest target to hit, spray a few bullets at a squishy and then dome them. It’s the most efficient way to play her and has been since her release, or at least until they changed how the charge buildup worked
There’s a reason she thrives when tanks like Orisa, Hog, Ramattra, Mauga, Rein are good because they’re slow grounded tanks, and she struggles in dive metas where the dive tanks just fly all over the place and she can’t confidently build charge

Winrate and pickrate are both fairly misleading

Yeah Ill agree that Sojourn seems like the most pointless addition to this game, and it really just hurts it.
Her and Soldier dont just fill the same niche, they are literally the same person but one glued on a funny mustache. Most redundant addition known to man, doomed to endlessly fight with Soldier for a spot in the game, or for little paste boys to play if Soldier gets picked before they get the chance.
But hey, we’re all more than aware that Blizzards lost it and are just completely inept. Nothing surprising here.
That’s way better and I wish it were true. At least on console, Xim widow with buffed projectile size means aimbot in like half of high elo console gameplay. I’m on the cusp of high elo, low masters, but with the loosened quickplay matchmaking my mmr is high enough where it is actually unplayable.
I wouldn’t say she’s the most broken dps in anyway. She was 100% hurt by the breakpoint changes, but the increase to her normal proj hitbox makes her more consistent outside of rail. Soj either is playing into a tank like hog/orisa and farm their rail every 5s or are playing the long game looking for a valuable rail while poking with primary.
