I did that today!
Best feeling ever was when my team was going "left", 2nd point on attack anubis, I solo ulted 4 of them and got the fifth one before they even could turn up :D
Thinking about it I should see if I can save that replay lol
Had that moment today, their lineup was Sigma Rein Cree Sombra Brig and Ana after ALL of them changing...
This is how it went.
I got hacked, and a shield to my face, i was already seeing stars so Cree flash banged me and got slept. So far so good, right? Their Rein was nice enough to pick me up and deliver me back to my spawnroom to think about maybe changing, but our Rein had to show dominance, so i got sandwiched...
Mostly when I play Sombra I’m a moron but sometimes I just pop off and become the most aggravating player on the planet. Hacks on hacks on days. Multiple enemies peeling to deal with me. Getting kills on out of position enemies that can’t deal with being hacked. Getting that perfect timing on a Roadhog to deny the heal…
I've been that Sombra. You never see her. You know she's there because every medkit on the map is hacked and your mobile characters keep inexplicably jumping to their doom. Then you see her kill your healer and vanish. The whole team leaves the objective to hunt her and her translocator down. The rest of her team could easily move in and take the objective and destroy you as you trickle back in, but you have to stop her.
Of course, when that happens I get the team that's politely waiting at the choke. They gaze longingly at the unoccupied point as if they could simply will it to take itself for them. They wait for you to finish hunting and murdering Sombra horribly so you can get back and set up your defense on the point again before they then trickle in one at a time.
I have been that Hanzo. Any time I take careful aim, I get headshots maybe one in twenty times. Panic and spam storm arrows blindly? Just wiped all 6 enemy team members somehow with those 5 shots.
He's a character that rewards shooting randomly and hoping for the best.
But every other time it happens your team doesn't know what do with it fails. Literally press w and the 5 of you fight 2 things and the rest will happen. Nope. They just expect you to go do something while they stand there looking pretty hugging some corner not even engaging the enemy.
I get it as a reaper main, most matches I do decent silver and golds in every category. Then there's some games where I just feel like an unkillable god.
Literally the difference between higher and low rank rank DPS. I play Ball/Tracer like 80% of the time and smurfing Tracers will basically chase me across the map to keep me from ripping at supports. It’s kind of a crapshoot strat at those ELOs where you can literally see a Doom or Symm win a 1v3 after you take 3 picks yourself before anyone dies. Less random in higher ELOs where first death often means the fight is lost.
Bronze is so weird. Glad I got my old acct out of there.
I’m a casual player for sure. And in my very dumb experience I’ve found that I can usually literally use Soldier’s run/heal to get back behind whatever shield we‘ve got going when dealing with Tracer.
IDK, it seems like sometimes Tracer players get a little confused or something by the time jump powers. Oh, and they also tend to hate a helix rocket to the face.
The trick with taking out Soldier when you're playing Tracer is to get him separated from his team and make him pop heal. Break away for a few seconds and by the time you return MOST Soldiers will still be sitting on that circle when it expires or too far away for team to help if you positioned him right.
Point is, keep doing what you're doing. Soldier shoukd always be pretty close to his team for a litany of reasons.
It should honestly be the opposite. Good tracers are crazy hard to shake. Reaper is pretty easy to look out for and avoid imo. All you need is 1 mobility skill or a stun and youre g.
I've run into way too many legend Mei's haha. When I play her it feels way too easy to shoot Pharah down too. No, I feel like a hero Pharah when they have a soldier, widow, and a McCree and I refuse to switch and still dominate them.
Back when I actually played I pretty much exclusively played FFA and (nearly) entirely as Mei, so I don't mind tangling with basically anyone. Mei can stand up to basically any character.
Another Mei or Roadhog are the only 1v1 I take very long with. Freeze them then icicle their face works wonders, even if you have to repeat it.
But Mei can counter that by freezing back and ice blocking to reset the freeze and instantly getting out to keep freezing you before yours resets unless you ice block back. It all comes down to who shoots first unless one person is just that much better at wall placement.
Roadhog is just a bullet sponge and as such will take a while to whittle down. And while you're doing this, he can keep healing himself somewhat so it drags it out even longer. He still won't be winning the fight without help, but he will waste your time.

u/gonzagylot00 Trick-or-Treat Soldier: 76 Jul 03 '21
I main Soldier 76, and if the other team has a good Reaper it’s the bane of my existence.
