they're better at killing bad players in direct combat than good support-class mains

Soldier mains might be hated because:
1. So many people main soldier.
2. He's really easy to use.
3. He's effective.

Some people might say, "Blah blah blah he's hard to master," but you don't have to master an easy class to kill well with it.

Soldiers are no good broken sissies who use their fat-ass splash damage to compensate for low skill and brains, letting the game play itself where a single click of a button can destroy most classes without the need of a decent mentality.. They're the scum of the earth and are deserving of any nerf that dares challenges them, Pyro is OP my ass, Soldiers are nothing more than self entitlied pricks with their fancy rocket jumping thinking they're better than any one else and game balance is blindly supporting them.. What about me, I have to deal with Soldiers all day, but NO.. My flamethrower can't do jack or Jill against their burst damage, tanky health, and mobility, they took my job.. But they can't take my dignity..

But that's just my preference!

you're bad at hitscan and think explosives are easier as a result of your own incompetence

Soldier requires some of the least amount of aim in the game since he relies mostly on splash; Pyro is very close in second since the inconsistent hitboxes. On top of that, he's a generalist with high DPS so unless a situation calls for a specific class to get it done, you just need Soldier to get small jobs done.

Of course, this is on a pub level where even a lone stock Pyro can dominate half the enemy team. In Comp and Highlander, Soldier is best used as a roamer.

when you're playing against complete idiots who spend all of their time on squishy support classes out of position, you don't need to master anything

the circlejerk on these forums is literally the only TF2 discussion area where anybody gives a rat's ass about soldiers

The hate will stop if people stop bringing up the hate.

Slop is correct as always.

tbh im tired of explaining this everytime, most of the people here didn't even play a single 6s match to understand the soldier advantage/disadvantage against good scouts & demos.

Just jump to avoid feet-targeted rockets.
Sure u take a bit of damage but its better than taking the entire blast
