Buff Junker Queen

because people keep shooting her bubble simple as that… also its harder to avoid a bubbled teammate whos rushing you. zarya by herself is easy, just ignore her even.

I want to live in your world, where Zarya is easy to stop and deals 0 damage lol.

Increase her max health, or reduce the cooldown slightly, or increase the heals on her bleeds.

She is decent once she’s in close, but she’s too fragile to get there and stay there with a 40 hour shout cooldown and a little selfheals on her blades.

ok well try this, dont shoot bubbled targets.

I think max health should be look at mostly. Don’t give her crazy self healing, as it’s not really enjoyable looking at undying tank, because it keeps landing abilities and refuses to die. It also doesn’t help her gameplay, where wounds are getting negated quickly, like against Kiriko and Zarya.

She needs better health for herself, scream is powerful engagement tool and I understand, that reducing it’s cooldown may impact her aggresiveness, not only survability. I would say, she needs at least good 100 hp extra.

40 and 80 wound healing is nothing for a tank in the game though, you don’t even feel it exists. And you will never be hitting 5 targets consistently for her passive to be even fully effective
Most other tanks have +200hp by default with zero effort plus some sort of shield they can right click to apply, and all JQ has for survivability is +200hp on a 16 years cooldown

Shout CD is too high. Should be 12, even if they have to reduce the overhealth it gives her to 175 or 150.

Exactly. Zarya? Two bubbles, each 200 hp extra + CC and headshot immunity. Orisa? +125 instant health, dmg reduction and CC and headshot immunity. Hog? +350 hp and 50% dmg reduction. Rein? Ton of armor and shield.

Other tanks have more max health, than JQ combined with all her wounds, which you won’t land non stop. I just can’t comprehend how can someone look at “wowie 25hps + 13 hps for 3 seconds when you land all your abilities” and say it’s good. Bro, she has 425 hp. Other tanks start from the point, where she ends in perfect scenario lol. It’s literally Zen Orb passive if you land good bleeds. Have you tried to survive on tank without cooldowns and Zen orb? That’s what it feels like on JQ.

And let’s be honest. Most likely you will be running with like 20 max, because you go for direct knife hit and axe. 18hps, maybe melee for a good messure. 23 hps, assuming your target won’t die. And you want it to die lmao.

Probably because he’s not talking about DPS.

Sorry, she’s one of the worst tanks.

She was so good in beta 2 and was played 100% in OWL so they overnerfed her to get her out of being 100% pickrate lol

Yes, that was before hammer nerfs to her scream. What’s your point lmao. Queen was op, then they nerfed her to irrevelance. I want to get her back to being pickable, not troll pick that you can have some fun only in qp, where people don’t tryhard.

Yeah, he either trolls or is smoking something really hard.

She doesn’t have 40 and 80 Wound healing. She has 15 and 40. Rampage will heal quite a bit, though.

Let’s count.

  1. Doomfist has 450
  2. Roadhog has 700
  3. Winston has 550.
  4. Sigma has 550
  5. Junker Queen has 425
  6. Orisa has 625
  7. D.va has 650 + 150.

So it looks like most tanks have more than 200 HP by default.

Orisa has 550, 275 health and 275 armor. Most tanks have 550 or more + they have amazing damage mitigation abilities, which is the reason why they are strong and take a long time to kill.

She wrecks Hog on the frontline, so yes. I think she’s the best brawler right now.

I feel like one of the worst things about Junker Queen is that she doesn’t look like a tank. Tanking generally means being able to hold and maintain aggro, and in addition to throwing out enough damage to make yourself a threat, being large makes you an enticing target. However, Junkerqueen is almost the same size as a normal DPS character so there isn’t really any natural inclination to shoot at her.

I’m almost wishing she was a melee focused DPS instead.

No she doesn’t. Queen alone can’t kill Hog, she needs team focus and antinade to do that. Hog has self heal to survive her scream engagement and if he hooks her, he himself will do ~390 dmg to her (headshot, hook and melee). Tiny follow up from team and she is toast.

1vs1 Queen loses, 5vs5 it depends on other heroes, but Hog definetly can take a lot of beating before dying, simply running at him and shooting when he has his self heal available is pointless.
