So I have fallen in love with Ashe’s play style. I like her kit and utility more than any other hero I’ve played and I am pretty sure it is because of her ADS option. Coming from along line of FPS games, I have never had a hip fire style, even with shotguns I find myself ADS. Halo is especially challenging for this reason.
I think this is a fundamental reason I am terrible with Soldier, even though I am told over and over again how basic he is. There is just something intrinsically challenging to me about hip fire shooting, even though the crosshair exists.
So my question, what is Soldier had ADS? Would this make him a better hero or is this not something anyone else struggles with and it can just be solved with playtime?
Edit: this is probably why I am not great with hitscans in this game.
I’ve never really found ads to be helpful. I can aim better without the FOV change at long distances and it keeps me feeling more consistent at all distances. I’ll hit a widow across the map as mccree just as easily as she hits me without a scope (though the falloff makes it useless to do so).
The only thing that ADS does for you in a shooter that actually helps, in my biased opinion, is give you a spread reduction.
If all hitscans had Iron Sights they would be domintating. And Phara might as well be deleted. Or so I think.
When you misread the title and expect a homophobic rant about Aids…whoops

While I think it’d be a bit too good for Soldier, him being a 1 star difficulty hero is laughable, they’d also never do it, because Ashe already has it.
I honestly think he’s one of the hardest heroes to play in the entire game. The hitscan hitbox is also significantly smaller than the projectile hitbox.
You have to play out of your mind to get value out of soldier, his ult is also the worst in the game next to deadeye. I think most people suck with him, he’s very unforgiving.
Lmao same, had to read it twice lol
exactly! I thought, what the…oh A.D.S., ok…wheww
Haha. Wow. I have to admit, that didn’t even cross my mind when I wrote it.
I definitely read this as “What if soldier has AIDS”
Sorry, I just had to say that lol

It’d be nice if most hitscan heroes had some kind of A(I)DS. hehe
Never really understood why they don’t. For many people, aiming down sights is key to consistent accuracy.

Sounds pretty ignorant of you tbh.
Ehh idk, I switch between the two because I don’t want to always ADS. The game could use an ADS full auto character though.

I don’t know if it benefits everyone, which is one of the reasons I posted this. I struggle with it, but clearly there are many that don’t. Also, I don’t see every hitscan getting ADS and there would need to be a movement tradeoff.
Yeah how could you make a mistake between two words that have a single letter difference but also notice it, how ignorant!
Man people are really reaching on these forums

Not really, we hear this sh*t a lot.
I think soldier is fine, and if they going to give him that they would probably take something from his kit.
At high ranks it wouldn’t make a difference as people are gods without it (unless it gave spread reduction to soldier and sombra then it would make a difference but they needs buff anyways so doesn’t matter)
But I feel like it’ll mostly help lower ranked players deal with Pharah better ,so the devs can buff her so she’s more viable at the high ranks without her completely dominating the low ranks.
Besides ,OP only asked for it on soldier and he arguably does need a buff ,so an ADS that reduces spread would be nice ,the question is what would it be bound on since M2 is the helix rocket ? M3 ?
