you are not doing it right, there are better places to post something that specific about ow2. its a beta that is meant to test things like this, no need to cry about it
Im glad you are sorry though
It took longer because DvA is in the situation where she is near her own blast much more frequently than junk is.
They nerf him and can’t buff him because he’s a low SR stomper, not because of pro players.
That’s why he needs a rework, not just flat buffs. So he can be allowed to be good in other elos without being too strong in low SR.
pytheon he’s easily one of the two worst heroes in the game alongside sym.
there’s no debating this subject.

Except the fact that hitscan dps are at s huge advantage now. Soldier and Sojourn can melt you from so far now.
I don’t know the numbers but I’m not feeling any substantial drop off from them.
Tracer and sombra 1 clip with ease… mcrees new grenade secures the kill and is way easier to land than our mine. And I’m going to leave out the flying dps’s that are already a counter that we can barely defend against.
People quip . Wow the damage of your two miles. First we have to land them. Secondly with no mine for escape junkrat hobbles (literally) around slowly and is a wide targe

He’s the worst hero in the game with only Sym potentially being worse.
I couldn’t care less if he’ll be playable in gold. Against any players who are even slightly good at the game he’s unplayable trash. Seriously you have no idea what you’re talking about. None. Just stop repeating the awful Your Overwatch talking points. They’re laughably wrong.

I play high diamond where junkrat easily gets melted by hit scan if he mine jumps. I’m sure decent gold players can track that slow moving arc.
Even with the rate of fire in the game now

I’m willing to bet that they probably uploaded an update manifest that didn’t have those changes in it and just forgot to check it after it was uploaded.
Update: 14 days

I mean the game has some pretty close range fights on many points, his projectiles are not dodge able in close to mid range. Where he was always strong. Junk also has the mobility to get into positions were he is favorable, and believe it or not slowing a tracer while locking her blink is still a free kill.
The only difference is that now people can’t safely spam, and actually need to learn to get in and out of situations were he is strong/weak respectively.
Is he SSS ~teir (Smokin sick style!!!) No, is he functional and capable of making plays especially in QP were people still havn’t figured out how to use the marker the flanker button. Quite so!
Its hard explaining to people how much more skill and effort it takes to play Junkrat at a Diamond - GM gameplay level compared to anything on the roster. They just don’t get it.
They for years believed that leading targets with a slow projectile is " low skill" because you weren’t aiming -at- the target… yeah no kidding, we have to Imagine where the target is going to be, and try to hit That.

The creative department is the best part of blizzard. The skins, voice lines, all of that.
Even during content drout in ow1 it felt like the skin devs put their hearts into the design. (till i came back and saw recolor skins, but i doubt that was their idea)
Overwatch 2 is the only video game I have ever seen that has a bear trap that does not immobilize you and a shield bash that does not stun you. Really bizzare design language.

Clearly we need a literal bear character and then it will function correctly.

Didn’t you know? Carrying on running with a bear trap around both of your legs is normal.
I’m still shocked that they turned an actual bug into the way trap is designed to work.

Are you referencing videos? Can you link or give the names of them if so? I want to hear.
The recent Your Overwatch Junkrat video.

Right, I completely forgot that Zen now has 225 hp.
Well, no wonder all my mine-nade shots were leaving them a sliver of health.
Hopefully we get a buff soon, Junkrat really isn’t getting any ways to compete with other heroes.

This is the worst thing I’ve read today, please stop talking about junkrat.

Like even in QP beta, he’s just being severely outclassed by Cassidy/Hanzo/Soldier. Let’s not even talk about Ashe/Echo/Widow.
The only one that isn’t an unfair match up so far is Sojourn, and that’s mainly due to no one really getting her yet.

This is kind of my problem with the Damage role: half of the role is niche, and the other half is all-purpose.
Now, ideally, having specific niches would be fine, but when the all-purpose heroes shine too brightly, what point is there to use the niche heroes?
Bastion, Junkrat, Mei, Pharah, Reaper, Symmetra, and Torbjörn all are considered “niche” and while Bastion got changes, they don’t really address his problems (same with Mei).
I don’t know if Genji would be considered niche, but he’s definitely not up there with his brother, Echo, Ashe, and Soldier: 76.
