I saw a bunch of people who asked friendly for Soldier buff, especially when it was double shield meta.
I can really not remember any meta where you said; “Okay, Soldier. We need to pick him!”
And even when it comes down to countering Pharah and Echo, other heros are still so much quicker doing the exact same job!
Widowmaker can just oneshot them or quickly two bodyshot them.
McCree (now slower than before) does more damage and technically can kill them quicker than Soldier does.
His ultimate is easily blocked, by shields, terrain or somply moving around one tiny corner and breaking line of sight.
I never feel like; “Gosh, dang it! I died again against a Soldier - what a horrible designed hero!”
Lets give him a buff and lets get him stronger, a bit. Not Baguetta (old ones) level of strong, but more like a good and valid option that can compete with it’s “position enemies”.
if they nerfed that yes sure. just dont give him his broken damage back. might as well play Baptiste just no. he could use a SLIGHT healing speed buff (but not too mcuh that’d be broken). i mean that his healing projectiles move a bit faster like when they buffed hanzo that way (later nerfed tho)
THIS THIS. THANK YOU SIR.
let a girl have her fun freaking don’t understand how anyone can call my man broken f ff fff ok.
brig has 200 hp now right? without armor? i dont know i dont play brig. if so i think maybe 250 could be reasonable? then again she isnt super super bad.
Brig is still being played in master. i see her like 1/4 of games usually on my team.
giving her armor to give to teammates will make her meta again ik it sucks. but maybe if we made her armor count as “shields” if that makes sense. (not making it resistant like her old armor and other chars armor)
Because my mouse supports it, I created a script to compensate for the vertical recoil in burst fire. The horizontal recoil is harder to adjust for, but I’m 99% certain I can account for this as well.
While I’m scared to try this out in the Experimental QP, in the training room I can consistently headshot widow and tracer from 30 to 40 meters–provided that the side-to-side sway doesn’t lead the reticle away.
What this means:
Anyone who’s skilled with tracking can make predictable adjustments vertically. It’ll take practice but it’s consistent.
Only the best players will be able to adjust horizontally. The horizontal sway is subtle, and while there’s a pattern the very initial sway & direction is effectively random. Only the best players have the precision to tell the difference between recoil adjustment vs their own movement.
Your style of mouse grip will make a difference here. Imho a hybrid mouse grip will be best, as arm movements help with flicks and large motions, but the finger adjustments are crucial for making the recoil adjustments in real time.
Overall, Soldier’s LR capability is less than before but once the vertical recoil adjustment is second nature I think it won’t be as bad as initial impressions and it will still be a net buff. For the very best, this will be a definite buff.
ik it sucks. but maybe if we made her armor count as “shields” if that makes sense. (not making it resistant like her old armor and other chars armor)
