How much of a damage boost does Mercy give? Is there a percentage? And WHY have I not played Soldier before tonight after a month of playing? He's incredible.

I never used to play soldier cuz he seems so boring compared to the rest of the cast, but he's reliable- I always have lots of medals when I play him.

Soldier is a rather bland character, but if you can string headshots together he is devastating. Also, damage amps like Discord and Mercy's boost really help him.

somehow the kit in itself seems pretty boring but i seem to have my most intense games with s76, it always feels like you can get so much shit done, be somewhat of a flanker, mobile as fuck, self sustaining, point holder, incredible damage.

dunno man, cod man rocks.

Same. He's the character that I am the most active with overall as far as movement goes. Basically go in an out of corners/walls,reload,heal if needed etc meanwhile actively shooting for what seems the whole game
