Soldier is overpowered for lower ranks

There’s a Soldier infestation right now.

Just wish they adjusted matchmaking faster so these players would get their free speedy MMR climb as soon as possible and inflate high ranks cause they are dominating in lower ranks.

How come Devs didn’t predict that?
Gosh…

Game is and should be balanced for high ranks. Tho I also don’t think he needed the helix dmg, getting 1 more dmg is enough.

Blizzard? Over-buffing things that were already in a decent spot?

This is unprecedented!

I think they did, but you’re probably greatly overestimating how much of an impact this is going to make in lower ranks.

Then balance Matchmaking!

You think it’s balanced average Soldier players spamming damage and winning unmirrored matches in lower ranks? No.

I’m all for better matchmaking in all modes. But heroes should still be balanced around what they are capable of, not what low ranked players are.

Meh, I mostly see people swap to Reaper, Pharah, and Moira in the low ranks when they want a free win. At least I can give a Soldier some credit for playing a hero that takes some thought.

Live service just became experimental patch.

you realize alot of higher ranks likely hack but havent been caught using hacks

Yea, people cheat in games, what does that have to do with anything?

one of the most used heroes is soldier with the cheaters

Even if so, are you implying the hero should be balanced around the small minority of cheaters?

hes not even balanced anymore hes mega op now and who knows how many actual cheaters are out there officially there could be more than you expect

Yea, we will see in the coming days how he is doing with the buffs, I don’t think it will be anywhere near “mega op.” I still don’t see what cheaters in this game have to do with it. They can cheat on any hero; a heroes balance certainly shouldn’t be taking cheating into account.

this also include hanzo, widowmaker, mccree (aka cassidy), kiriko. TL;DR all critical shot-kill heroes like that list almost of time cheats

Didn’t you read the last dev blog on the topic.

They stopped doing that because there was never anything wrong with it and we all just suck and Aaron is always right about everything and never reads from his stack of interchangeable lies on a pile on his desk.

I’m paraphrasing.

Every single Soldier I’ve ever been in a game with used an aimbot. They even scripted in some voiceline just to taunt people.

i forgot about Kiriko as i dont play her when i try playing support (im trash playing her)

Don’t play low ranks then, lol, what’s your problem? What is that statement even? Overpowered for LOW RANKS? Do you hear that smell of stupidity in that sentence? Like who freaking cares about low ranks? The game is meant to be climbing in it, not hardstucking and acting that it matters that you exist with low skill in a game about raising the skill. Holly hell. Overpowered for low ranks… like I can’t, are these players actual humans? Climb with it to high ranks right now, ffs!
