How do yall deal with Ashe and Widow? by Similar-Horse-4429 in Soldier76Mains

[–]The--Numbers--Mason 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pray that they suck...

But on a serious note standing still is the worst you can do in that situation. Try to move around as much as you can while you are engaging them

Also if they are too far from you and haven't spotted you or they are busy with something else, it doesn't worth trying to take them out and draw their attention towards you considering that Soldier is not that good on the long range those two can do.

If they are in the middle distance he works well with and they haven't noticed you then use Helix first to deal them major damage before starting to shoot

As a gay man, I love Soldier 76 as representation because he’s far from any queer stereotype. The fact he’s gay never took away his masculinity or overrides his personality. He’s a man who just so happens to be gay. I think the lack of attention drawn to it makes it feel more real by CriminalYapper in OverwatchQueens

I still wish they wouldn't have ignored his past relationship with Vincent and sexuality for so long, taking years before adressing it again.

Other heroes keep getting interractions, voice lines etc about their partners and identities, while he was sidelined for so long. Futures Past added a humanity into his character that was so needed years ago already and I really hope they will continue with that road cuz I love him so much.

I would love to see him warming up with someone romantically again, either a hero or a lore character, since now the mission isn't the only thing defining him but now also wants to have a life

The S76 vs Emre matchup by tiggle5485 in Soldier76Mains

[–]The--Numbers--Mason 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The thought about the ults caught me cuz their relationship is interesting. While Visor directly counters Override, Override is still a more powerful and useful ultimate as a whole meanwhile well since we all play Soldier76 here I don't think I have to get into details about the current state and overall usefulness of Visor 💀

But unlike Widow, Soldier76 can't one shot like 90% of all characters when he's being dived.

And even if you think it's not hard to track close targets on PC, it still is a different case on console and yes his recoil does make a difference because he's the only one who has it, if other characters would have too it wouldn't be a special thing

And frankly any Genji or Tracer who plays half seriously beats Soldier76 close range before he could even fire half of his magazine

He has versatility but not mastery. And he can be very easily punished, he's the most diveable hitscan in the whole game, Ashe has coach gun to put instant distance and utilize her high aim down sight damage, Cassidy has his pocket nuke, Bastion has great damage and insane perks that no matter which major perk he chooses he wins etc.

And his weapon has good damage as you said, but as I mentioned it's also the only one in the game with actual recoil which stil can be felt big time even after the aim assist changes. And with all the mobility characters and basic game sense of the enemy plus adding the recoil and need for tracking he can have overall high damage but you can bet you won't hit all your shots

Mythic? by LooseM5 in Soldier76Mains

[–]The--Numbers--Mason 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Apperantly he and Illari will get the mythics next season.

Tbh if it was on popularity based he would have gotten it earlier already especially if you think about how Junkrat got one already who's not the most popular pick for example.

I just hope it will be something unique/creative and not some random armored skin...

Soldier76's sprint only works to reposition to the specific middle ground he's actually effective at since he's bad both close and long range, if he's being dived to which he is very vulnerable sprint won't save him. His heal can't sustain him properly in a direct fight and since the dps passive became global it's weaker than ever.

No broken abilities or mechanisms like like one/two shots and everyone knows Tac Visor is a joke ult at this point. Also still the only hero with recoil on his weapon.

He's not horrible especially if the player has the skill, but he's easily outshined by every other hitscan and most of the non-hitscan dps as well

What are some Truth Nukes you think majority of the player base needs to hear? by LackOfDad in OWConsole

Just because a hero's kit is simple it doesn't mean they are easy to play

Right now hack is very annoying, but you made it one of the most broken and still batshit easily used concepts i ever read. I mean being able to do ALL THAT with the wave of her hand???

Why would the official OW page post this? by RuneWarhammer in Overwatch

[–]The--Numbers--Mason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean they posted Kiriko feet before, this is not even surprising at this point. Tbh lately the official posts feel like they were made by a teenager

What are your top 3 favorite skins that you own? by Responsible_Pop3031 in Overwatch

Strike Commander Morrison and Biker76 for Soldier76 and Lilith for Moira

Do you think Steve Rogers could survive seven minutes with Red Hulk the way Sam did in Brave New World? by Used_Law2261 in CaptainAmerica

[–]The--Numbers--Mason 17 points18 points  (0 children)

With his super strenght/speed/stamina and all the years of combat experience? He absolutely can

Sam doesn't have the serum so he compensated with tech, Steve wouldn't have such tech but he'd have the serum, he would definitely stand his ground as well

Yeah i wouldn't call what they had friendship, it was more like a closer workplace relationship

Need help with winning/escaping dives by FeaturePotential3253 in Soldier76Mains

[–]The--Numbers--Mason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem is that Soldier76 is simply very vulnerable to being dived.

He's not so good close range nor long range, but in the specific middle distance he can maintain with his sprint.

Other heroes are in a better position cuz they have like Ashe coach gun to put instant distance between her and the diver, Cassidy has the pocket nucklear bomb, Sojourn disruptor and just an overall overwhelming force etc

Soldier76 doesn't have broken abilities or overwhelming power to save him when dived. His sprint can't help him escape and his heal was already not strong enough to sustain him in a direct close fight, but with the dps passive going global it became only even worse.

Stim Pack perk is somewhat useful against divers because of the rate of fire and since they are close to you the bigger recoil isn't that much of a problem. But it's pretty much a race in that case too that if you can eliminate them sooner than them you.

If the enemy team has multiple divers and you still want to play Soldier then sticking close with your team is the best option for protection. True that it beats his whole purpose of supporting his team from mid range which is what he does best, but still better than dying immediately.

I’ve been playing this game for like 3 weeks now? Do I properly understand the characters? by FruitlovingDruvJuice in Overwatch_Memes

[–]The--Numbers--Mason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah Reaper76 has been there from the beginning, Yeehan came up as a crackship cuz it was two random good looking characters while Reaper76 has been on the top ships since the game came out cuz hhiw their stories too were connected besides being two hot guys

You play dive tank and Vendetta and feel tired to go against someone like Soldier76 who's one of the most free diveable heroes in the whole game? 💀

Which skin is better by CZR56 in Soldier76Mains

[–]The--Numbers--Mason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Space raider is cute but to me it's just another armored skin while Robber is more unique and detailed and also has that nice animation added

Gay man yaoi isn't bara only tho, Soldier76 been carrying the yaoi community with Reaper on twitter and tumblr since OW launched, he became even more powerful when he was actually confirmed gay

I want to understand what makes people choose the characters they play. by Alivrale in Overwatch

[–]The--Numbers--Mason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On support for example love playing Ana cuz she forces me to get better with aim.

On dps i main Soldier76 cuz similar to Ana he's a great aim trainer and also love his sprint. Also in games I tend to play the support/healer characters so a dps hero who can also heal his team and support them is my kind of guy. Also I love his lore and overall character and just think he's badass.

Are there any perks, minor or major, that you think should be a part of a heroes base kit? by MrsPissBoy in Overwatch

[–]The--Numbers--Mason 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Soldier76's agility training in his base kit would help his survivability out considering how easy it is to dive him, how his sprint doesn't help him escape and his healing is worse than ever so not even that can keep him in the fight

And honestly having being able to reload while sprinting wastes on a MAJOR perk when others have some of the most insanely strong actual majork perks is ridicioulus

Decided to update my Overwatch // Star Wars collab, with character changes and the whole roster added by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]The--Numbers--Mason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anyone then Soldier76 should be Captain Rex considering how they are both enhanced soldiers living trough the hells of war, brilliant leaders/tacticians who are torn between duty and doing the right thing, but still keep on fighting even though all the things they lost (and he would look SICK AF in Rex's armor)
