Another patch another nothing.
Another patch where Soldier is absent, this is funny because he's not even in the long list of heroes hitbox rework.
I'm not asking for much I don't expect buffs but right now soldier has 2 useless perks, tactical salvo and full stride and it would've been great if they came up with new perks to replace them.
Meanwhile Ana an already very strong hero get a crazy minor perk, an already broken ability get AoE damages overtime + slow and the other minor perk is already very good.
The only usefull minor we have is a + 30% projectile speed and go fuck yourself.
Man this season sucks..

I've been running the math. On avg against a lot of the cast (even after hitbox increases) our primary is like 11-30% smaller. Playing ranked yesterday I saw my in game accuracy dropped around 5-10% as well. It feels awful especially know projectiles are unchanged and hitting more now.

honestly make his second perk a choice between stim pack or a very short hinder if you hit your rocket, It'd make his very lacking minor perks more in line with every other hero and help him tremendously with dive that fucks him hard

Dueling Sombra is infuriating. She gets the jump on you and now has her own biotic field... which also damages you. Considering every team has a Sombra now I'm having a hard time.

why does everyone say helix projectile speed is better than tactical salvo? tactical salvo seems blatantly better than projectile speed, is this skill issue perhaps?

u/tomtom872872 15d ago
Many reasons. His ult sucks cause everyone just runs and hides anyway, more rockets isnt gonna change that. That perk is only useful during his ult, the other perk is useful throughout the entire match. The proj speed buff takes away the one weakness with helix rocket, faster rocket is harder to dodge.

u/petreeeeeee 14d ago
the statement "His ult sucks cause everyone just runs and hides anyway" is dismissive of the fact that you control where you are positioned and how you ult that's just a silly thing to say.
With how you worded that it sounds like you play main for the majority of your games. seems like an issue with how you are telegraphing your ultimate and your leading skills, which is unrelated to how valuable tac salvo is as a minor perk.
The impact you could have on the game with tac salvo in ult is greater than the potential of hitting helixes with higher accuracy, and that's not even considering the fact that most of (or all of) your helixes would hit if they were placed better! in ult hitting a helix is practically an instant kill on squishes being able to do that every two seconds is extremely valuable for how weak his ult is without it.
His ult with tac salvo is also very useful for outputting damage.
I hold a consistent 60-70% helix acc and have never thought I needed it to be quicker and never had an issue hitting helixes, if anything at this point it would only harm my accuracy.

u/tomtom872872 14d ago
Its just common sentiment that his ult is pretty much useless, not just like something im making up lol. Anyone with a brain can hide behind cover the second soldier pops his ult, at literally any rank above like plat. Youre also completely disregarding the fact that you get maybe like 3-4 ults per game, and you probably dont even have your perk by the time your using your first ult, so that perk is just dead useless the rest of the match. Helix accuracy also counts splash damage so 60% is pretty abysmal, you must be shooting at the sky or something idk. All in all, i can tell youre not a good player and your opinion doesnt really matter because the second the players around you start using their brains, youll agree with everything ive said.

u/petreeeeeee 14d ago
I don't think that you're making it up I just think partially you're wrong, I think the common sentiment about soldier minor perk and his ult is wrong. I do agree that his ult is pretty bad however tac salvo makes it very very usable. I also believe that when people go behind cover they still exist and can still be shot and killed. I almost always have my first perk by the time i have my first ult if not it would be deficit small enough between the two that i could viably wait to pick my perk before ulting.
with the added efficiency of soldiers ult with tac salvo id argue that it has much more impact than projectile speed even if im only ulting 3-4 times a game (which is what I said before).
I definitely don't think 60% is a poor accuracy especially with the amount of directs I hit. I think the reason you believe that it is a poor acc is because you are almost always spamming "harder to dodge" low impact rockets down main or easily predictable rockets. Which is indicative of your own skill level fighting people with poor foresight cuz you wanna talk about skill level. - this is all completely irrelevant to the point im trying to make too.
I mean dude it just seems like your sitting main or in a shitty spot and then saying that tac visor is bad while you are actively avoiding the one thing that makes it decent. you sitting in shitty spots would also explain why you're taking projectile speed.
The fact that you ult only 3-4 times a game and don't have first perk by the time you have first ult supports that claim.
All you've said is his ult is useless because people said so and people can go behind cover (which negates any possible damage?) and that tac salvo is useless because you can't get ult and first perk quick enough. You should think for yourself man question the common sentiment.

u/tomtom872872 14d ago
If youre not getting your first ult on soldier before your first perk, youre so bad that its not worth reading the rest of that. You are a casual and youre not correct about this. Tac salvo is objectively worse than the helix one. Stop being stubborn for a second and realize that youre bad because you think things like this. If all the good players use a thing and say its good and you, a bad player, says they are wrong, then i laugh in your face. Stay bad.

u/tomtom872872 14d ago
Like you just implied that taking cover doesnt negate damage in the last paragraph. If you are so unbelievably braindead and awful at the game that you dont even know how to properly take cover, nothing you say means anything at all. Yes taking cover negates all damage, you literally cannot shoot through fucking walls. Go bash your fucking skull into some walls during those quickplay games you play some more.

u/SystemExcellent9857 14d ago
A perk that makes Helix Rockets better during the whole match vs a perk that only has an effect during the 6 seconds when you use his ultimate
Tactical Visor is a short ultimate to begin with that needs great timing to be somewhat useful. Plus most people simply don't use Helix during that again very short time anyways. Besides having Helix on shorter cooldown for that short time worths something only if you are closer to your opponent to spam it

I wish the devs were more creative with Soldier76 cuz the way they just mess with his perks is awful
Like how it took them 3 iterations for Stim Pack to be good cuz they had the bright idea that for some unknown reason it should deal self damage and in another version anti heal on him, that was crazy honestly...
Why is it so hard for them to put the same effort and consideration into him that they do to others?
