I feel like sone fail to take into account how nearly everything about her is just absolutely nuts right now so let do a breakdown on her kit shall we?
-Primary Fire
While not as ridiculous as everything else she has in her aresenal it still does about 135dps(calculating off rounds per second and damage per bullet) which is obviously paling in comparison to Soldier 76’s 162 DPS but still this does make her dangerous at close to medium range, overall it’s balanced IMO. Is projectile but the speed makes it feel very close to hitscan.
-Secondary Fire
Now this is what makes her absolutely busted in my opinion, first of all it can’t be normally fired rather needs a charge from dealing damage with her primary fire which is very unique but charges a bit to fast maybe! But here’s the thing, first off she can easily get full charge from dealing damage to barrier(Symmetra isn’t allowed to this anymore btw) so it feels like running barriers against her just empowers her if anything.
Another thing about this is she deals 130 damage to the body at full charge which is the singular highest direct body shot damage in the game but that’s not all this thing if hit to the head does a whopping 260 damage which means she kills every support and dps her in one hit who isn’t bastion. You’d think you’d need to be as precise as widowmaker to pull these off consistently but you at all since the hibox can be pretty forgiving.
If you ask me it’s like a helix rocket but better since it’s hitscan meaning it goes where you aim and it can just instantly delete anyone who isn’t a tank. It also gives her massive poke damage potential and quite honestly she craps all over Hanzo and Widowmaker for the most part. Honestly this part about her in general makes me lose my sanity.
-Powerslide
This is her first ability I want to talk about, it incredibly strong and with a 6 second cooldown to boot! It allows her to avoid enemy fire by doing a call of duty styled slide which is cool but it gets better because at the end or mid slide you can perform a power jump which can be used for all manners of things.
Need to reposition to high ground? Yup you can do that! Need to avoid even more enemy fire? Yup you can do that! Want to pull off a flank? Yup you can do that! Want to escape from that pesky Genji, Reaper, and Doomfist who dived you? You can do just that and unlike widowmaker you’ll have it back if they quickly try to dive you again!
Overall this ability is arguably one of the best in the game currently when it come to mobility and can be frequently used.
-Disruptor Shot
Want to cause your enemies even more pain and suffering? Do you want to be responsible for more broken Keyboards and controllers in this world? Well congratulations because I have the perfect ability for you! Say hello to disruptor shot, it shoots a 5 meter wide sphere shaped field at those poor souls! What does it do you ask? Well one it does 210 damage during its duration and slows your enemies down so you can hit them with your railgun and make them meet the big man in the sky!
This thing is very versatile, baptiste throwing another disco party? Well you can tell him your disruptor shot wants to join in on the fun! In a one on one duel, well my good friend just throw it down and you can be nearly guaranteed to win that duel! You can even throw it into the middle of an enemy team to finish off low hp targets and they might not know the better because sometimes it’s quite hard to notice if you’re in it if you’re on the outer edges of it! Want to slow an enemy teams push, you can do even that, think of it as a smaller less deadly molten core!
-Ultimate
This is basically just an extension to her secondary fire because she gains auto charge for 9 seconds allowing her to just insta delete several squishies faster than your most skilled widowmaker main.
TL;DR: I’m crap at formatting this stuff but Sojourn is OPAF and is causing me eternal suffering.
