How? They are beam heroes generally and their beams still do the same 30% reduced damage against armour. Both of their projectiles benefitted from the armour changes (going from 30% reduction to a flat -7 damage - big buffs for both).
So how were they hurt exactly? Mei is played more since armour changed, not less, at least in my games.
Meiās projectile for headshotting supports and dps plus walls are her selling points. Her beam has sucked for a while.
Players from these videos would be better off playing Asheā¦
I have very good tracking but I still have a hard time killing. It feels like Iām just doing damage and thatās it.
Thatās how it is after global health pool changes. Sustained damage is weaker overall if it doesnāt get scaled up. Not saying Soldierās damage is bad but anyways
I know that feeling. Being one bullet away from killing that support in the backline and then they just get to cover because they have 50 extra hp
My playstyle nowadays on Soldier is basically jsut permaflank the supports, helix to open and then land a couple of nice shots onto them at close-mid range. Sitting back 40m like Ashe or widow is not going to net you any kills. Soldier has the same damage falloff as Ashe but since heās a sustained damage hero, playing within your falloff range matters more
Less Dva being played, and more of Junkrr Queen, Ram type tanks means you can take those off angles again without speed boosted Dva flying at you
Better than a bad Widowmaker on your team, even a bad soldier can apply the healing debuff and break shields.
This has long been a tactic used by the Overwatch community. Single out a character thatās obviously too strong and claim theyāre actually weak. This is done because Overwatch is the worst balanced game the world has ever seen, with numerous characters that are essentially a pile of safety nets stacked on top of each other. Many players are terrified this might one day reverse, leading them back to the .2 k/d quality player they are in every other fps game theyāve ever played.
Soldier is ludicrously easy and far too strong. The op is very aware of this.
Shoot this is exactly why I play him whenever Iām forced to play the DPS role. But also, other DPS heroes just seem needlessly complex all for the sake of being ādifferentā when compared to S76. Even if I have a great few matches with other DPS heroes, Iāll go back to soldier and think āwow I was working too hard playing those other heroesā.
Many DPS heroes are more complex because they used to be stronger than Soldier. Now, either you are a hitscan buffed into being easy or a non-hitscan nerfed into being obtuse but weak.
He is like wheelchair for people who just joined game with only fps experience. Its ok to play him on training games
You are right that he is a crutch. But sadly people dont outgrow him because Blizz has enabled them to use him all the way to top ranks anyways.
Dude did you just lose to a Soldier or something lmao
My hatred is unending and Soldier 76 is the perfect target for my hatred of Blizzās year long hitscan DPS pandering and bias.
Did you just say āBuff Soldier to 20 damage bulletsā
I agree. 1000 more buffs to Soldiernplease
This Ranulf character is searching forums for mentions of Soldier 76 every hour, to enter every thread and sing praises to immense strength of this D tier characterā¦ Scientists baffled as to why.
Hey leave my husband aloneā¦he hasnāt done anything to anyone
āAim where theyāre going, not where they are.ā
Iām fifty years old. So of course Iām going to play him and say āYoung punks, get off my lawn!ā
Soldier isnāt even bad though just a mediocre jack of all trades. He has alright range, damage, mobility, and self sustain.
That defines a bad character in Overwatch. Thereās no situation heās the best in, so heās awful because you would never want him. Thatās what happens when you have too many heroes that do the same thing in a game.
