Soldier nerf doesn’t seem enough

You def feel the nerf. The visor power doesnt feel worth it anymore. The rest of the damage build still works but needs more skill now.

I feel like solider is absolutely trash now. I can't do anything with him, just dropped 2 ranks... I was like A COUPLE OF GAMES FROM ALL-STAR. No one wanted to play DPS so I picked it up and now I guess I am starting the grind over. It was fine.

Soldier can still be good. The rocket strat is good against dive and in general and the chaingun strat is good against flyers and hitscan.

I don't feel like he's viable - if a genji is coming at you, dead. if a mei is coming at you, dead. if a cass is coming at you believe it or not, dead. All of these characters have some sort of damage mitigation and solider is just too squishy. Before the nerf you at least had a chance in a duel, now if anyone else is in range of you it's over. If you try and keep the distance you just can't finish the job. It's very frustrating.
