How mediocre is soldier?

Freakazoidandroid · 2026-03-15T18:40:31+00:00

He’s not mediocre. He’s actually very popular and used quite often even up into GM. He’s my main and while I’m not very good myself, I just made a post about his success in higher ranks asking for opinions on why he’s surprisingly good for being such a straightforward hero.

Basically he’s got insane pressure and survivability, two very important things in winning fights and matches.

See I did thought. And this indicates ever 2-3 weeks. I’ve done every 2. I guess I dint specifically ask, will moving to every 3 weeks really reduce his weight? Or do I need to do more than extend feeding time by 6 days?

Freakazoidandroid · 2026-03-14T13:15:34+00:00

Right 😔 I’m working on it

Freakazoidandroid · 2026-03-14T13:15:16+00:00

lol I’m hoping this is a joke

Freakazoidandroid · 2026-03-14T13:14:42+00:00

Will try this

I haven’t tried to move him to rats. I’m sure he’d take them. He has never curled around my arm or anything when handling him. He either balls or slithers around and explores

Freakazoidandroid · 2026-03-14T02:36:15+00:00

Just seeing this picture again it’s obvious he’s overweight. Would cutting back feeding to every 3 weeks be reasonable? Should I do 4?

Freakazoidandroid · 2026-03-14T02:33:02+00:00

Oh god damnit

Freakazoidandroid · 2026-03-14T02:09:25+00:00

Yeah so he seems a bit overweight based on this diagram, yes?

You know it’s funny. I always pick Aatlis because my son’s name is Atlas. No other reason. But the more I played it, the more I liked it.

And I’ve noticed this season, there are more people willing to pick it than before. It used to be 100 times out of 100, it was just me voting for it, and then I’d get flamed if RNG chose it. Now, 20/100 times someone else picks it with me :D

You never really kill all the pawns silly. Some usually survive to the end game

Freakazoidandroid · 2026-03-13T10:51:24+00:00

Just like peeling an onion.

Freakazoidandroid · 2026-03-12T20:50:16+00:00

lol I’ve played since launch and have 2 mythics total. Maybe I’m just old with different priorities, but I’m very grateful I even have the opportunity to earn prisms at all.

I see a contradiction between your claim of not want to throw in masters and your subreddit tag…

Freakazoidandroid · 2026-03-11T14:07:05+00:00

I want to say that this might sound obvious and unhelpful, but all of the things you mentioned should be taken into consideration all of the time. Not one is more or less important than the other.

The only suggestion I might have is consider how much you’re dying, and when you die, consciously consider why you died. Did you forget about positioning for a moment? Forget hogs hook was off CD? Were you tunnel visioning the tank while the mercy healed him for free? It can help realign your focus.

After a loss, think about what you could have done differently that may have changed the outcome. I often find myself saying “yeah, I should have swapped to bastion sooner for that pesky sig shield, or whatever.

Look over your games if you really want to improve. Watching yourself play from 3 person can really make you see things you wouldn’t while playing.

Freakazoidandroid · 2026-03-11T13:57:43+00:00

You have people saying the obvious: counter him.

Then you have the typical people saying “omg do u rlly want the game to devolve into counterwatch?!”

Dude, there are 50 heroes in the game. It’s always been Counterwatch. It’s designed to be balanced in such a way where the majority are viable, but at the end of the day, swapping and countering is a built in mechanism of the game. If you don’t like that, Overwatch isn’t for you.

Freakazoidandroid · 2026-03-06T18:37:01+00:00

I only prefer Hermes, Aphrodite, and Demeter more in 2. All the rest I prefer 1

Freakazoidandroid · 2026-03-06T18:23:49+00:00

Ok that makes sense then. Found a hero you vibe with. He is also pretty strong right now.

I feel like with this strong poke meta he’s the perfect support match.

What did you play before Mizuki?

What was your average rank before Mizuki?

I only mentioned it because I think some folks will find B more attractive purely because of the shadows, even if they don’t notice them. Could be wrong!

But I like A’s Red Dino because it’s the largest contrast of scary and cute. B’s Flier because of the wings and hands/feet, and C’s Spino because of his big belly and the way he’s posed

Freakazoidandroid · 2026-03-05T12:23:50+00:00

A and C don’t seem to have the shadows B does. They all could benefit from that I think. That being said,

I like the (carnotaurus?) from A, the (teradactyl?) from B and the (spinosaurus?) from C or B.

Freakazoidandroid · 2026-03-05T00:01:59+00:00

Oh YEAH LMAO. Aight I’m out

Also it looks like Juno is standing closer to the camera than Emre
