Map design and team can impact how well another team can dodge his grenades. What it was about was his low aim skill requirement. You played Junkrat a lot so obviously you will come at it as one angle. Clearly though Blizzard see issues with him otherwise they wouldnt have nerfed his charge or said they looking at him.
So I take your answer is no he doesnt do too much damage with low aim skill requirement
Nah itâs that his nades have a ridiculously big hit box

These are both pretty old, i had a gif showing Junkrats hit box that was made only a few months ago but canât find it anywhere. His pills have an insane hit box and need to be nerfed. If they are ill be fine with him also a nerf in his ult charge.
Yeah, I play Moira. I like her, and I like healing.
BuuuutâŚIf you check the stats on my hitscan heroes, specifically McCree and Soldier, you may notice theyâre just a tiny bit better.
But you know, thereâs a reason thereâs almost 1k SR difference between us, and the fact that one of us has problems with Junkrat and the other does not might have something to do with it.
Yeah, I think so. Too much damage is on his spam and not enough on his more precise abilities. I think the demoman from TF2 is a much better idea of how to do it - precise combat with stickies, or direct hits with the grenade launcher, are far more damaging than either bouncing grenades into people or rolling them under their feet.
I donât know how youâd fix him now, though.
Except he wasnt weak medium range because of his charge hence why they then nerfed it. No one saying you couldnt counter him. You will be bias I am afraid. It only human to be so when you put as many hours you have. I personally do not see how you need high aim skill with Junkrat myself but your point is obviously clear.
Junkrat main lol
I totally donât have 191 (much more than that in all modes) hours on Mercy, who regularly and easily gets wrecked by Junkrat
Iâm just not biased towards âlow skillâ heroes who are only super impactful against bad players and bad teams
This was meant to be question about Junkrat damage not for you to e-aristocrat prance around SR. Along with the fact that you being higher SR means that you will have stronger team play. It is a team game after all â which can counter Junkrat. The question was if his damage is too high for low aim skill requirement.
He is considerably weaker at medium range rather than close range since you have time to evade those nades.
And you need high skill aiming with him to directly hit those nades, if you play Junkrat and you cant hit anything then is better if you dont play him
As someone who plays a lot of Rein you would think I would be first in line to complain about Junk. And I did have a lot of concerns when 2nd mine came out. But over time I think people have gotten used to what junk does and how to not walk into him, and currently think heâs fine. Powerful but far from OP.
I think itâs mostly about knowing what areas you can confidently move forward into, and what areas require some extra caution, when Junk is about.
Junkrat has a very high pick rate compared to other heros and also has an > 50% win rate. Solider and mccree both have a much lower pick rate in most ranks and a lower win rate. If thats not proof enough that he is better than Mccree and Soldier who both rely on aim to be used, then i donât know what will.

Also saying
im a higher rank than you!!!
is a weak comeback. If i only played no skill heros like Moira and Junkrat i could easily climb to at least diamond especially because im on Xbox where aiming is 10x harder. But i would rather be challenged and play heros who are fun and require actual skill.
Your insults are not wanted in a thread that meant to be a question. Instead you behave like a child and you have put 80 hours into Junkrat so you clearly enjoy playing him. Also I did not say low skill I said low aim skill. Can you honestly say that Junkrat is more aim demanding then Hanzo or Widow?
ive always asked myself whats the size of his projectiles⌠they dont seem to match the model
are they bigger or smaller than baby dva/mercyâs projectiles?
junks pillâs hit boxes are about 2x the size of the actual model
You may require aim and prediction but you do not need high aim skill. I said low aim skill in the question. You deem it high skill. Though you say you wouldnt say it is more difficult then with Hanzo or Widowmaker. Which I would class as high aim skill.
He is only weaker at medium range more so after the charge was nerfed. Also you cant evade nades if the map design or team fight has positioned you.
ON nades evading â if you are right about the aim of Junkrat then surely the better aiming junkrat wont miss right? Thus preventing people from dodging the grenades? So to say dodge grenades is irrelevant.
Of course not, but no one is more aim demanding than Hanzo or Widow. Youâre comparing snipers to an area denial hero with slow projectiles
And those slow projectiles are why I say heâs not as low aim as people say, and why heâs super impactful against bad players- for his bombs to hit anything at all, the player either needs to have amazing aim or the enemy needs to be super unaware of their surroundings
Also- I answered your question, youâre the one who said âyour opinion is not validâ
A lot of singular characters change the entire way of the fightâŚ
To address your question directly? No.
Like I said in my first post, this game isnât, and shouldnât be balanced around the aim of low tier players. Widowmaker for example, cannot be balanced around anyone but the top tier players, because if sheâs balanced around the average player, she becomes extremely dominant if someone has half decent aim.
âLow-aimâ weapons have weaknesses inherent that hitscan weapons do not, even if theyâre easier to use. Heroes like Winston and Moira have inherently low damage potential, and thatâs made up for the fact itâs easy to pull off. Junkratâs high potential is made up for the fact that itâs unreliable. It shoots in an arc, but at 17.5 m/s, Junkrat has by far the lowest projectile speed in the game.
This severely limits itâs potential outside low range and/or cramped environments (like chokes), because landing a slow projectile when the enemy doesnât have their mobility hindered at all, especially for an agile hero like Tracer or Genji, requires luck, or a massive outplay.
As you go up in skill, the lethality of hitscan âaim dependentâ heroes like McCree, Soldier, Tracer and Reaper massively outscales the lethality of âlow aim skillâ heroes like Junkrat or Moira.
Junkrat is balanced around fighting people who can actually click bodies, if not heads. Heâs oppressive at ranks where people can do neither, but due to the nature of his kit, heâs ALWAYS been good at those ranks.
Itâs the fact that he does 100+ burst damage. Thatâs what I hate.
Before you can figure out what happened, youâve lost at least 50% of your health and youâre being knocked around.
No I said you being an 80 hour Junkrat gives you a bias. You also along with others of your SR and playtime of Rat have said others points are irrelevant because of their skill or SR.
You say he only punishes bad players but if a Junkrat has good aim then the notion of bad players is irrelevant because his aim is still hitting the good players?
Both snipers yet he does damage more consistent then the two of them with less penalties. With junkrat as you say you need good aim will consistently do more damage then a sniper if they are bad. Now do you need to put the same amount of hours into a Junkrat over a Widowmaker or Hanzo to be good?
Junkrat has high pick rates in Bronze, Silver and Gold. Every rank from Platinum onwards, Tracer, Soldier, McCree and Genji outpick him, and the gap between them only grows as you climb in ranks.
Work smarter, not harder. If youâre claiming that you can climb higher with characters you do not play, then thatâs a failure of you as a player. Overwatch isnât a mechanically demanding game, and climbing is 90% understanding how the game actually works and 10% clicking heads.
