If I'm really determined to win I typically switch to Soldier 76 because he's good in most situations due to his versatile kit (hitscan primary weapon, heals, constant-pressure DPS, and sprint ability). When I'm playing Soldier 76 and pushing the cart, it's unusual for me to get killed by anything except a Roadhog or Widowmaker (not including Ultimates).

Ha, that's funny, that's literally exactly what I already do but it always feels horrible having to switch from a character with such crazy mobility to generic FPS guy even if he is really good. Sometimes when I see that the team thinks it's a TDM and nobody is even trying to push the objective I won't even bother switching though. I had a gold objective time the other day with 00:02 (made it to the point once without dying on the way and was the only one on my team to even attempt to), and when I see the game going a similar direction I lose motivation real fast.

Soldier 76 is so good for harassing the enemy team when there's not a super-skilled Widowmaker on the other team, though. He just goes POKE-POKE-POKE-POKE-POKE for damage and there's very little anyone can do to stop him, really. And sometimes doing damage trumps vertical mobility, especially if you're not making headway with, say, Genji, McCree, Tracer, Reaper, or Pharah. Genji and McCree lack heals, Tracer and Reaper lack range, and Pharah lacks close-range viability. You can arguably be good at all ranges with Soldier 76 if your aim is decent. Sure, he may not be the most interesting character, but man... his versatility and ability to sprint really make him a game-changer on timed objectives if your team is at least trying to push.

That being said, I don't have tons of time on him, but the times when I have played him I typically do very well. I don't play him a lot because I've played standard FPS most of my life, and I need WAY more practice with characters like Pharah or Tracer because they're so different from other playstyles I've tried in the past. Pharah makes me remember how equally terrible I was while playing Soldier in TF2.

Finally, the nerf for McCree. I will expect to see less of him, but unfortunately, will probably see the same amount of WM, if not less WM but a lot more Hanzos

. Unfortunately that doesn't stop the bandwagon of terrible WM that swap to Hanzos and are still terrible at him too.

At least the bad Widows no longer get rewarded for bodyshotting as much. I saw way too many Widowmakers simply spamming shots down range just to get incidental kills as it was. I can see spamming with Hanzo, because that's essentially what you're SUPPOSED to do (lock down certain chokepoints), but spamming with Widowmaker was unforgivable because of how fast her fire rate and charge rate are.

Got a Symmetra play of the game which just had me running around like a headless chook while my sentry turrets racked up eliminations....

Wish I had her 3rd intro for the only time I'll ever get potg with her lol

It's great because it more or less fits their characters as well.

Saw this as well to go with it.

I had a really funny one myself yesterday. Started with the typical boring Bastion triple kill but ended with the enemy Reinhardt charging me and the both of us rocketing right through the defense point and off the cliff. I was practically in tears from laughing when it happened and was so glad everyone else got to see it in the end.

More than made up for my previous PotG that featured my ultimate getting stuffed by my friend's absolutely terrible Mei ice wall timing.

While he doesn't have a concrete plan for release dates yet, there's a lot of mentions of the ideas ahead that will likely implemented before the year is over.

Note: Competitive mode seems to be one of their top priorities at the moment.

FlareKnight · 2016-06-15, 13:04

Sounds like they are staying busy, which I'm all for. More heroes, more maps, more modes.

Is still nice that when those things are done, they'll be patched on in. Seems like they'll never run out of things to work on with this game.

Guys, this new patch footage looks pretty sick

Its so welcome too. Had a pretty funny situation last night when a McCree did the usual fan-roll-fall combo on me as Reinhardt, and once he'd finished we both just kinda stood there for a second contemplating why I was still alive. I then promptly crushed him against a wall.

The satisfaction....

Really glad to see the scope toggling with WM was also fixed too. Hopefully it wont take too long for D.Va to get a slight buff.

LOL! That is so terrible! I feel almost bad for the Chinese players that are being suckered into such a terribad ripoff (unless Overwatch is unavailable to their region).

Wow he really became chatty in that topic. Nice to read all of his posts.
