If you are "spooling up" the Soma often to the point of thinking "goodbye to your ammo" and "after 20ish enemies you are running dry", I believe there is a misplaced opinion of the Soma's ammo efficiency.

Admittedly, the Soma is mod relient, and in the early ranks where you can only add so much, the Soma will be weak. But, even without a potato, the Soma can be built relatively well when maxed out, with the help of the two Madurai "V" polarities.

As mentioned, Soma is mod relient, and more specifically crit relient as you mentioned. But! What I have to say is that going for elemental damage is maybe a wrong turn along the way. Take more focus into other items, especially seeing that you believe the Soma is ammo efficient: equip Ammo Drum or anything else that can provide more ammo per game; while the Soma isn't overly reliant on it, up that slash damage with the latest event mod Fanged Fusillade (even at unranked, Fusillade is more capacity effecient than Sawtooth Clip).

Like with any good weapon, you'll have to commit a potato and a formae or two at least to make 'em good. Yes, the weapon is hyped here and there, but the truth of the weapon is still great; it probably is one of the best primaries under the "Jack of all trades" category. I believe (this is only an opinion) that you aren't attempting to commit to this weapon enough.

Thank you for reading my lengthy reply.
