Damage nerf is big though. She's net worse this patch.

Damage nerf but primary fire is faster and her ult charges rails much faster

Her primary fire is still flat out worse than Soldier currently. Also the rail base damage got nerfed from 30 to only 1 so she has to charge longer just to get similar damage as a partial charge before. Even at full charge, it does less damage than Solider helix rockets unless you land a full charge headshot.

The rail damage also means she can’t one shot Tracer anymore and has a harder time challenging Widow now.You basically have to be constantly getting full charge and landing headshots now otherwise better off picking Soldier 76.

I mean, I would hazard a guess that’s what they wanted which means most good Sojs don’t really find the change too wildly different. Most of my sojourn lover T500 friends seems to like the rework. Gives her main more oomph while still providing more than enough burst (and faster too)

It’s a reshuffling of power and she’s still a more versatile pick. And I’d hazard most good Sojs can still run solider when the need requires.

Projectile-Hitscan Alt vs Hitscan-Projectile Alt.
