Does the Junkrat just do more damage or is it just me? I’ve played quite a lot of Normal difficulty games in the past and I’d breeze through them all of the time. But now, I’ve had several games with the same easy difficulty where we almost lost because of Junkenstein at the very end. Like I feel that he actually targets players and his grenades do more damage now. Is this just me or does anyone else think that?

He always did that. I played a couple of rounds on expert and didn’t really notice any difference.
But for lower difficulty games? I’d expect him to aim in Expert, but Normal?
I can’t imagine that he wouldn’t aim in normal, though it’s been ages since I’ve played that. Maybe he switched targets more often or something?
No aiming at all wouldn’t be terribly engaging. You’d literally be able to stand still and kill him.
Not sure about normal, but junkenstein is definitely way too buffed atm he insta-kills in harder difficulties. It’s ridiculous.

Didn’t they actually say somewhere that OW2’s “Normal” difficulty for these events is on par with OW1’s “Hard” mode or did I imagine that?
To me it looks as if Junkenstein Junkrat now spams bombs in all directions (as in at all players) simultaneously. But I wont discount the possibility that what is actually occurring is people aren’t killing the zombadier (silver bomb tossing robots).
They definitely changed him. He does regular damage and shoots more often than in the original.
In the original his bombs were like 30-50% of actual junkrat damage

i think his bombs seem bouncier too? there were spots where you could actually stand where there was little splash (like directly under his ledge) and now there is no approaching that area.

He used to aim like the Zomnic Bombardiers; i.e. he’d be able to hit you if you were predictable enough, now he hits you regardless, that and he seems to shoot faster by default.
Don’t know if he also does more damage than usual but don’t think that was changed, only his rate of fire and his prediction “skills” have improved.
Unless his projectiles change course mid-air, this is literally impossible.
