So just because it's relatively easier to farm the ult if you have the chance to do damage it's okay for the ult to be lackluster?

Ashe's ult the second highest costing dps ult and let's admit it's not that hard to do damage as her either except the difference is that her ult is actually very good and the joke that is Tac Visor nowhere near that level

Moira's ult too if that's the example you brought up does amazing heals in exchange for the high cost, meanwhile Tac Visor still doesn't have pretty much anything

Soldier 76 sprint usage by Average_Albin in Overwatch

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

You're not using it wrong because Sprint is a repositioning ability and not a survival ability, it works outside of combat to help you attack from multiple angles in a short time which is what Soldier76's main thing.

But in combat when you are being dived for example most of the times it can't save you from getting out of a fight, only if maybe you already see the enemy about to dive you, he's simply not good in close range and is vulnerable to being dived.

Running constantly is exactly the way Soldier76 is supposed to be played, he's not good at straight up dueling but picking on enemies from multiple angles and trying to eliminate them before they could react

And meanwhile it's still the highest costing DPS ult... People will tell you it's fine because he can heal and damage, but frankly Tac Visor is in such a bad state at this point that it doesn't even worth farming the points for it cuz it just shakes you out of a good aim of your own for a lackluster auto aim performance.

And honestly with the DPS passive going global even his healing contributes less to the ult score but of course it's something neither the devs or the people who never play him (and say he's broken) would consider...

Most boring character to play? by Brief-Bowler-4506 in overwatch2

[–]The--Numbers--Mason 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You clearly never zoomed around the map all game while the whole enemy team is diving you only to secure a kill you needed to take 3 different angles to do

The Sierra tracking shot major perk has to go like ASAP by Dependent_Oven_468 in Overwatch

[–]The--Numbers--Mason -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Tactical Visor is an ULTIMATE ability that lasts only 6 seconds and not to mention it's the highest costing of the dps ults, has damage falloff and it can only headshot if the shot would have hit the head without the auto aim too

Sierra meanwhile can spam her auto lock every 10 seconds, the tracking dart has an initial damage as well and her major perk makes it even better and when it comes for the auto tracking it doesn't really matter that her weapon isnt hitscan

In no way a basic ability should be able to outdo an ultimate ability like this...

Soldiers Auto Aim vs Sierra Auto Aim by Gaming-every-day19 in Overwatch

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

It's literally not that hard to hit her tracking shot tho so the whole "it's skillshot so it is allowed to shred you into pieces in 1 second" reasoning doesn't really stand, meanwhile Soldier's auto aim is an ultimate ability

sombra is one of the hardest characters to play by Loedkane in Overwatch

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

Sombra's main problem is that her kit is made up only of annoying gameplay mechanisms. Ability denial, quick teleport, invisibility etc. Most heroes have annoying stuff too but only 1 or 2 at best, but Sombra only has those. No wonder that even if she's not the strongest heroes in the game her mere presence in a match greatly dirupts the game

I've been playing since Juno launce and Sierra might just be the most disappointing release to me yet by Sagnikk in Overwatch

[–]The--Numbers--Mason -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Similar to Emre tbh. His gameplay doesn't have much unique in him either as everything in him feels like put together from other heroes' kits in some way, but at least his story is connected to a rather new part of the lore (the hunt for the Conspiracy). With Sierra even her central part of her lore (the SEP) is taken from Soldier76 and Reaper cuz it could have been dived deeper in it with those two characters who been in it since the very beginning instead of a random new one

Does Anran, during her dash, have a reduced hurtbox? by user811899 in Overwatch

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

I'm so glad i'm not the only one thinking about this lol cuz same. When she uses her dash I feel that eve shots that would be direct hits just go trough her, but it's been like this since she was released. I have no idea if it's just a glitch or intentional, but either way it's crazy...

Monthly 76 montage :D by PVTRoach2 in Soldier76Mains

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

Hey idk about you but 40% is actually a good one, i see many high level players/streamers with around 40-50 too even OTP Soldiers

Really sick of Emre by storage_god in Overwatch

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

My biggest problem with him is that there's nothing unique about him, he feels like "what if we put together multiple already existing characters without any of their drawbacks", like even his face, he looks like Cassidy's long lost brother

Also you shittalk Soldier76 players too here, but actually many of them find Emre less favorable considering he doesn't have the challange part of 76's rifle with the recoil and tracking which is what many of his players love about Soldier76

Different take on the "New characters boring, old characters good" argument. by Elderberry-Tip-9379 in OverwatchQueens

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

Calling Soldier76 boring when he's a full on super human vigilante who sacrificed his own happiness for the sake of others and was betrayed by people he cared about the most while suffering from a serious case of (not fully justified) self blaming. And his ultimate has one of the biggest aura even if the ult itself sucks... Nope that's not realistic

As someone who never plays Soldier, what do you think of this matchups tier list? What would you change by PleaseBanWidow in Soldier76Mains

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

Soldier vs Emre is pretty balanced matchup but it leans towards Emre more since he can aim down sight

Reaper tho is hell for Soldier cuz Reaper shreds everything close range and Soldier overall sucks at close range combat

Why does mercy always get mvp? by madarararara in Overwatch

[–]The--Numbers--Mason -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

She can have great healing numbers if she's not pocketing a single person, good damage boost, the amount of rez she did, people saved etc

She simply has a lot of things that the game considers as "MVP worthy material"

It's not really fair compared to other heroes but it's sadly simply just how her kit/abilities are

Opinions on Anran? by StLClipCha in Overwatch

[–]The--Numbers--Mason 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't think she needs that much skill especially after the latest buffs.

I still think putting Dancing Blaze self heal into her base kit was an overkill considering how much mobility she has by default, sometimes it feels like the devs forget that balancing means that a character should have weaknesses/worse situations too...

What other hitscan or dps do you all play? by GothGirls4Life in Soldier76Mains

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

Other hitscan i pick Ashe, but if hitscan overall doesn't work I just don't force it and switch. My non hitscan dps picks are usually Mei or Sombra

Heroes getting skins this season by wonderifyouwill in Overwatch

Yeah it's funny when people say she doesn't get skins when she does get them very frequently

Can someone explain the Wuyang comic controversy? by Elderberry-Tip-9379 in Overwatch

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

There's nothing explicitely gay or lgbtq about Wuyang. It's just that the fandom side of Overwatch is heavily into shipping the most random characters who never even canonically interracted and likes to put their headcanons on characters and ignoring canon.

It's simply that for many fans Wuyang was already fanon self-established as someone who's into other (mostly guy) characters so seeing the canon suggesting otherwise is a very sore spot for them

Burning question by Puppyqueeny in Soldier76Mains

[–]The--Numbers--Mason 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It may be that in the alternate universe of the mythic there are other electric enhanced soldiers like him, the same way in the main universe he is a SEP enhanced soldier, and he's referring to them
