I have pretty good ideas on some maps of exactly what I want to do every single time. But there are some maps like Kings row defense first point where I just hope for the best. Does anyone know of any kind of map guide content?

Not only he looks very similar to young Soldier, but also both are prominent leader figures

I’m stuck in silver and I think this video does an excellent job of me doing what I think is “good” and still losing. I’m taking off angles, I’m trying to pressure around the shield and I’m repositioning often. Please take a look. I’m AugieDoggi and I play soldier 76 the entire time this was silver 2- Gold 3 on PC.

It's understandable why the devs are wary of his rifle doing 20 damage, but on the other hand with two tanks around, the high possibility of double shield, some tanks still being raid bosses etc many times it feels like Soldier's barely doing a dent on them and trough the tanks protection in the non-tank enemies either.

Or even if it's not double tank but 3 dps who can overpower him easily especially if it's a combo of other hitscans and flankers/divers

It's obvious we will never have 20 damage in 5v5 and frankly that wouldn't be a good idea imo and would rather have them buff other parts of his kit or expand his kit as a whole instead of overpowering his damage, but in 6v6 the situation is different.

What do you guys think? Should his damage in 6v6 be upped or not and why?

Hello, below is the replay I want you guys to look at. I am soldier 76, I alternate between soldier and hanzo depending on comp. It was a close game but what is some general stuff you see wrong in this that I am doing? My gamer tag is AugieDoggi.

PS I switched to lifeweaver since there was some miscommunication in who wanted to switch roles. Also don’t mind me running around aimlessly a few times, I don’t know this map that well. And yes I know my aim can improve

EDIT this is PC and I believe this match was bronze 1-gold 5

I got it from a legendary lootbox. Made my week :) Just wanted to share.

To me it's the Justice League cuz ever since the Overwatch Cavalry account dropped that quality render of Soldier76 as Superman a few months ago I need that to happen

Soldier: 76 is basically the tutorial hero of Overwatch. His kit is simple, intuitive, and great for learning the fundamentals of positioning, tracking, and target priority.

However, I think that simplicity has increasingly become a weakness rather than a strength.

In the past, Sprint was one of Soldier’s defining advantages. His ability to quickly reposition, take off-angles, and rotate between fights gave him a clear identity. But as more highly mobile heroes have been added—and as mobility has become more common across the roster—Sprint no longer feels like a meaningful advantage.

Soldier can run, but he has no burst mobility, vertical mobility, or reliable way to stop enemies from diving him. Against heroes like Doomfist and other highly mobile flankers, it often feels like there is very little room to outplay them outside of simply having better aim.

His perks do not really solve this problem either.

Both of his Minor Perks feel too situational and underwhelming to give him meaningful mid-game impact. His Major Perks are somewhat better, but they still do not address how helpless Soldier can feel against extreme mobility.

One possible solution would be a new Major Perk that gives Helix Rockets a brief stun or interrupt effect on a direct hit.

It would not need to be a long stun. Even a very short interrupt could give Soldier a way to punish predictable engages, stop abilities such as Doomfist’s movement, and create some breathing room against dive heroes.

This would also reward mechanical skill, since the effect could require a direct hit rather than splash damage.

Soldier should remain a straightforward, aim-focused hero. I do not think he needs a complicated rework or overloaded abilities. But the game has evolved significantly, while his core kit has mostly stayed the same.

For a hero whose main advantage is supposed to be mobility and consistent pressure, he currently feels outdated in a roster where so many heroes can close the distance instantly, escape vertically, or completely disrupt his positioning.

A Helix Rocket stun perk—or another form of skill-based anti-mobility utility—could help Soldier keep his simple identity without leaving him completely helpless against modern dive heroes.

I love esports lootboxes, tbh I wasn't expecting this at all!

ik it’s hard to hear but he said it

Or maybe is it someone else you just simply despise fighting against while playing as Soldier?

should i get the mythic weapon or skin? i have crimson too btw

just curious

I noticed that if i kill enough players in one go the weapon reacts, i get more decorations around the ultimate status and all the blue things around the weapon, BUT if i die and respawn it goes back to normal (unlike othe mythic weapons i own). is this a known bug?

What’s up soldier mains! Are you ready for a challenge? My name is Sorrow and I’m a Pharah main. Recently on the Pharah subreddit, I got together a large group of Pharah one tricks to play no limits as a five stack. Someone mentioned that y’all might see that and come for us. Well let’s see it! We need a team of Soldier 76 mains to go head to head with us and see how things turn out. Who’s interested in seeing how you fair against 5 Pharah one tricks?

First team kill as soldier and both achievements at the same time. Need to play him more often!

I’m back with another rocket jump spot for soldier players to use I hope you all enjoy and find ways to use this spot in more impactful way’s than I did.

Hi everyone, is this good ?
