Overview

This video provides a comprehensive guide to playing Sojourn in Overwatch, aimed at players seeking to improve and reach a high rank (Top 500). It covers essential aspects of Sojourn's gameplay, including recommended perks and binds, micro-mechanics and tips, and macro-level game sense and positioning.

Key takeaways

Perks: The guide discusses the strategic value of "Overcharge" versus "Deceleration Field," suggesting "Deceleration Field" is often more beneficial for neutral and poke fights, while "Overcharge" is better for ultimate-focused engagements. "Dual Thrusters" is recommended over "Friction" for movement.
Binds: Recommends adjusting default keybinds for better comfort and accuracy, particularly for the primary fire, to improve aiming and overall feel.
Micro-Mechanics:
- Primary Fire: Emphasizes charging the railgun to at least 50%, but ideally closer to 100%, and being patient to maximize the value of each shot. Holding a full charge can generate pressure.
- Disruptor Shot: Highlights its use as a zoning tool to make it difficult for enemies (like Genji diving) to engage or to force supports out of position.
- Ultimate (Overclock): Suggests charging the railgun to full before activating Overclock for maximum uptime and effectiveness, especially to surprise opponents.
Macro-Game Sense:
- Goals: The two primary goals are to pressure the enemy tank and to take advantageous angles to pressure the enemy backline.
- Positioning & Angles: Stresses the importance of understanding and utilizing angles to your advantage, creating pressure without taking unnecessary damage, and using cover effectively.
- Team Play: Explains how Sojourn's pressure on the tank can create space for her team and how to adapt focus to backlines once the tank is no longer the primary threat or is pressured.
- Ultimate Exchanges: Advises on reading enemy ultimate usage and coordinating your own ultimate usage for optimal impact, such as letting an enemy use their ultimate first if you don't have a counter.
