Screw that. Soldier needs all the love he can get right now. People will think I’m joking, but seriously, buff his ult so it auto-headshots.

I guarantee even that will not be enough to make him viable. But it would be a good start.

Maybe the worst suggestion I’ve ever seen for any character.

Ouch, my feelings. I’ve been owned.

I suggested exactly this but with 30 damage instead of 20. That would actually make players with good aim dangerous, whilst right now Soldier’s ult is just garbage.

I find it pretty strange anyway, how Blizzard ever thought that having an actual aimbot as an abbility would be a good idea. There is no way you can balance it, a character that can hit every shot is either overpowered or, with Blizzard’s balancing, trash (because the damage is so low that it just takes forever to kill something).

This would make the ult significantly worse than right now.

It would be strong if his shots have an antiheal during the 6 seconds ult or if he gets something like 30 damage and 100 more hp during it.

How about a compromise?

Let it headshot - but ONLY if the player is actually aiming for the head.

That way his ult wouldn’t put him at such a huge disadvantage against Tanks anymore.
