"This soldier is... Ok back to the Brig"

[@jedimario8860]

9:41 "You always charge in, but you never think." Bold words coming from you of all people, Soldier

And then immediately shows how the soldier charges into the other team and dies lmao

[@jandlerjameson]

I can't not laugh everytime Emongg goes "alright back to the soldier" and he immediately dies and face-plants. My cheeks hurt from smiling. Thanks for the video, emongg!

So funny I wasn't even laughing at this guy It was the narration that got me 😂.

[@Skyrdr]

Soldier spent more time in spawn than in game

[@mrkisukes]

The key to getting the W is to hold down the W key and never let go, that soldier is a true W warrior

[@i5m1thy]

He's RP'ing the beaches of Normandy. The true way to play soldier.

[@popkornking]

That soldier actively avoided using cover the entire game lmao

[@abcdemally]

soldier never even dropping a heal for himself really makes it for me lmao

[@iitzaidan8208]

This soldier has to be a COD player, running in trying to burst someone down with a rifle or smg then running in to a new target. But as we all know that doesn’t work in ow since there is healing and high sustainability.

[@bobbybeez858]

I just commented the same thing lol. Reminds me of kinda how I was except my brother is a diamond player and taught me to chill tf out but I’ve never come close to 41 deaths lol

[@iitzaidan8208]

@@bobbybeez858 yeah I think 41 is a new record for us fps players that came from apex battlefield or cod

[@bearlyhardley]

Honestly I thought the same thing as soon as I saw his first play, it seems like someone who’s used to regenerative health. Not to mention (at least in MW2019) you can have a really high death count, but as long as you’re playing the objective you can hit the top of the scoreboard

[@baddestpython2899]

That soldier knows the blueprints of the spawn room better then the map designers

[@Blaze_the_cat_]

They may have created it but he was born in it

[@ysontay8632]

the best part is that the damage and distractions they provided sometimes helped. this is probably the most value ive ever seen out of someone dying before

Just dying on cooldown. This Soldier player is reaching incredible levels of efficient gameplay.

[@viksta6834]

This guy reminds me of when Martian Manhunter read Doomsday's mind in that one Justice League movie. "No real thoughts. It's all aggression. All about the fight."

[@TheRyugan]

I meaaaan, it makes sense if you think about it. Soldier wouldn't have a sprint if he wasn't meant to charge into the enemy team.

[@douglasanderson8016]

A to B faster, yes. But to run straight down main, in the open, and get shot to hell, not use his own healing and die....no.

[@Seikushim0]

I REFUSE to believe that there is someone like this out in the wild whom thinks its ok to play like this. Dude watched a awkward video unranked to GM about flanking dps and took it to a whole new level.

[@MlleLurleen]

It could be because he didn't know how to play against the new Bastion and thought rushing him was the play.

[@goergemoriuty2127]

i had a monkey like this in platinum the other day, just w key with the team coming back lmao i was sure he was deranking or drunk

[@maxus6048]

One thing I think they need to add to the stat sheet is healing received (from heroes only). So many times people complain that they specifically were not getting healed and it would be a great way of validating/disproving that especially if someone is getting flamed for dying a lot.

[@voltran7677]

be real, they will find another reason to deflect blame, the only way to remove all toxicity is to just remove all forms of chat, which is an awful idea

[@AarPlays]

They REALLY need to add this. Because tanks need to get their head out of their butts and use natural cover instead of crutching in heals. Dps would get more healing with a competent tank

[@iBleed_RoyLty4368]

​@@AarPlaysTo be fair, DPS needs that natural cover, as much as tanks. Healing priority would support DPS being target healed more if they would follow the same idea. Supports would be able to heal more that way.

[@iBleed_RoyLty4368]

A lot of the times that I've played DPS, some players died, lied, and we're too reckless with plays causing their death. If it wasn't the support "not healing", it was the other DPS or tank not "doing enough damage" for those players.

[@jawatu6326]

​​@@AarPlays shut up and stop flaming the tank every time get better, you the dude that throws my games by flanking and loosing all 1v1s for a few kills while having 17 deaths

Name has '2008' in it, so this could 100% be a 15-year-old boy who just goes full aggressive. Would make sense.

15 years old makes it even more embarrassing

"Don't worry, I can make soldier work"

[@ModernNinja94]

I know exactly what is happening here. I have a CoD friend who is actually really good at CoD, like offensively good, but he joined us for OW one time. He was so used to pushing a group of 3 or 4 and being able to kill them that he had similar results to this soldier. Not entirely his fault, but OW plays so uniquely that any style of play aside from the correct way is going to be frustrating and painfully obvious.

[@taylah8447]

mans kept running into the bastion in turret form, dying n then decided this bastion is targeting him so he made it his personal vendetta to continuously run past the entire team and go for the bastion 💀

[@AarPlays]

[@marinonightingale]

It kinda feels like this Soldier normally has a Mercy pocket or Kiriko pocket who constantly keep him up while he face checks a whole team, so he's just started playing that way

[@10Neon]

This soldier needs a bayonet

they also couldn't hit anything without the auto aim ultimate, never head shots and only firing once in close range so who knows

Is it just me but did the soldier ever place down a heel pad or did I just not notice

[@AbsoluteApril]

should have had a counter for every time Emongg says 'back to the brig' XD

[@sylvievadimsky7515]

DPS is my absolute worst role, but I like to play it for fun sometimes (mostly in Unranked where I’m not messing with anyone’s SR) just to play something different and take a break from my main (Moira) every so often. My friend and I were playing last night, and they kept apologizing every time I would die because they weren’t able to heal me. I told her that I don’t expect heals as a flank DPS (I like playing mostly Reaper, Sombra, Tracer, Widow, and sometimes Mei) because I know a few locations of health packs, and when I can circle back to the team to get some healing, especially between fights, like when we’re just pushing robot or cart. Also, it’s my own damn fault if I die, especially if I’m out of LOS and not a priority. Is it nice to get a little love from Mercy (who they mainly play as a healer) now and then? Sure. But I’m not expecting a pocket, especially if there’s a more attractive option for that pocket, like a Soldier who can protect them a bit better. I wish more DPS understood what is and isn’t possible for supports, especially during fights.

[@sethescope]

this brig is really good about using shield bash to get behind cover, we love to see it. they prevent a lot of their own deaths that way, which is huge

[@ianchambers37]

It's gotten harder with the sombra buff to virus which almost one shots Brigitte now. Just a random virus without a hack and a few bullets shot and almost every support dies instantly. Also there seems to be a sombra in every game now or a quick swap to one if getting diffed in any way.

[@sethescope]

​@@ianchambers37 tbh Sombra hasn't been that big of a problem in my games personally. don't get me wrong, she's annoying to play against and we all love how she can stand afk behind the team until the perfect moment (dear ow devs, she'll never be balanced and tolerable until you put her stealth back on a timer!), but with a little awareness and strategy, she's manageable imo. I have a lot of success playing around cover with corners so that if she comes up behind me, I can go around the corner to avoid any follow up shots but still be out of sight of the enemy frontline. then I ask for healing or use a cooldown on myself and we're good to go. I also position closer to my team so that my Sombra problem is also their Sombra problem. don't isolate yourself! sombra is usually going to win the 1v1 if she catches you alone so don't play into her hands. stay close to your team!

[@ianchambers37]

@sethescope I find on tanks especially like dva or rein, no issues, and I murder her. On dps, it's a mixed bag, say if it's a soldier or reaper, I usually live due to self-healing. It just seems to be on support if I am someone other than kiriko, Ana, or Bap, but then I gotta waste my self heal usually to live. Doesn't seem to matter what rank I am in or even if chilling in the middle of my group(seems a 50 50 if they do anything at all and usually i have to say something in voice chat to even get them to look since many ignore pings), lol. It feels instant with the new buff even when I do play around corners since the self heal doesn't kick in faster than she can run around and shoot me unless I get a lucky swing on brig etc. Bums me out since Brigitte is or was a main but I feel forced off her even in a dive comp meta.

[@kaizerk4321]

This soldier needs to unbind his W to make sure he controls himself. You dont get bonus damage from being closer.

[@XNSever]

This Soldier has a respawn as a cooldown ability

[@wish5615]

Soldier heard bronze players are too scared to die. He responded with “bet.”

[@xexun0010]

his aim was actually alright, could be a gold player if he learned decent positioning and used his heal

[@VargonDraxar]

I think this soldier would benefit from swapping roles to tank and one tricking Reinhardt with that playstyle XD

[@button9]

If soldier didn’t have sprint, he’d only have 30 deaths

Getting inspire is important, but not if it comprimises your positioning and causes you to die. This brig already has questionable positioning sometimes so i worry that the advice "trigger inspire more often" could cause them to put themselves in danger more to try to trigger it, and die in the process
