Why would you buff this hero

For the same reason they refuse to nerf freja too. So anyone who wants to play anything but the top heroes suffer for it

The leads on the balance team play Soj.
Only thing I can figure.

These adjustments make Disruptor Shot easier to land and more reliable without increasing its travel distance.
Disruptor Shot
- Damage per second increased from 80 to 90
- Projectile speed increased from 30 to 40
- Maximum travel duration reduced from 1 to 0.75 seconds
Aight, imma head out. They did nothing but buffing the most annoying hero.

Weirdly enough Sojourn struggles the most across most ranks when comparing usage and win rates. At least it’s not just a railgun buff. Probably just makes her more useful for low-mid players to use her aoe

Soj gets MUCH more dangerous the higher you go.

At this point overwatch is trying to ragebait me, mid long range hitscans are the most cancerous thing in this game and they buff 3 at once.
I dont get it they already so good that once a year i try them and its boring and feel bad ruining other players experience.

As a DPS swap flex player SOJ DID NOT NEED THIS. I already found TREMENDOUS success with the build at HALF DAMAGE. Y’all need to seriously BEWARE the AP sojourn now lol. This will definitely help her win rate.
Oh my god. Soj buff
Ok ok I take back all the bad stuff I said about the stadium stuff
If they were smart they would have done this with the mythic skin drop
I didn’t buy it cause of the 25hp nerf
I don’t know how they decide changes or who they do it for but it’s like they just buff and nerf without reason.

Overall competitive win rate is at 45% with a near 15% pick rate, making her one of the most popular heroes in the Damage-role, with one of the lowest win rates in the game.
A similar popularity is found in Reaper with a similar 15% pick rate, but a 6% higher win rate in all ranks of play, or overall.
Sojourn needs improvements. Just be glad that they didn’t revert her health loss.

The balance team has no idea what they are doing
it is obvious especially with the hero stats page now. they do buff by rank, winrate and pick rate. although i dont have a clue if thats the correct way since stats can always be skewed for a million reasons but the fact is sojourn had a VERY low winrate. so did the other heroes they buffed.
the sneak nerf later or the additions nerfs later of genji tracer and ball was because of high winrate i guess and across a lot of ranks
although the genji nerf imo is a slap on the wrist. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HEALTH INSTEAD
She has low win rates.
That’s why.
Like it or not, snipers didn’t win often (probably because more dive based comps were good)… So they buff sojourn and ashe.
also there the “forum effect” with some heroes. i have noticed a ton of heroes are unpopular and the moans and groans of certain heroes getting buffed
seems like supports are more of an “ok” thing around here and tanks but yea dps is very unpopular although some are the darlings of the forums like mei, symm and any that are not hitscan
more of an mmorpg/moba crowd thing i guess.
although i do think the forums dont reflect the population of overwatch as a whole or maybe it does. overbuff had a small sample but it really mimic the hero stats page now.
maybe forum opinion is the same way… hehe
Can we stop buffing hitscan bro. I hate this.
The game has been out pretty much 10 years, why are we still doing things like this
My plat dps performance keeps her winrate low, very sorry
