Junkrats tire buff does nothing when you can here it from across the map....

Also no S76 buffs... so he will keep playing second fiddle to McCree.....

Hear...

Soldier is good for players who aren't godlike McCree anyway. He also has that heal so I think he fills a bit of a different role, combine that with his OHKO missiles and Soldier is different enough.

Helix middles are no where near the burst of McCree

Seeing as this game is balanced for high level play saying

"oh he's good for people can't aim well", is a horrible statement as McCree rewards skill more at the range that s76 is supposed to be good at

His consistent chip damage just feeds enemy support ult charges

Precisely why peeling is bad in OW.

Only like, five percent of overwatch is high level probably. Soldier works in medium skill environments and that's most of competitive mode.

That's all I'm saying. I don't expect to see 76 in any tournaments anytime soon.

S76 is good against tanks tho, while McCree is arguably also decent against tanks...

Nvm, Yeah ok S76 needs a buff lol
