Junkrat, Pharah AND Doomfist could easily kill Goats if they were viable
But no, lets make ALL of them trash, and then make Goats heroes trash too, rather than solving the actual problem

Junkrat’s GARBAGE against zarya rein. He’s significantly a bigger garbage against d.va zarya and rein.
So no. It won’t solve anything. It’ll only add another spamming bomb throwing annoyance to the mix.

Honestly, if Pharah would receive a whole host of buffs? I’m talking giving her the McRight-Click or Reaper treatment? I’d go, and reinstall Overwatch with the quickness. I’m talking Sonic the Hedgehog fast.

This is the reason Junkrat got killed, people thinking Spam is OP

spam isn’t OP. It’s just used to be very low effort, high rewards. Now it’s low effort low rewards, which suits a character like junkrat.

This is why the balance is horrible, people thinking that heroes, that they think are “no skill” should be trash
(Btw it takes a massive amount of effort to evade slow glowing projectiles isnt it?)

They said the same thing about reaper and he still can’t counter goats

No, it’s “no matter how much effort” and NO reward

It’s the hero design. Reaper and Junkrat can’t be viable in high ranks. Their skill floor is pretty low by essence.
Yes we need a hero to counter goats but unfortunately this hero still doesn’t exist. If you buff junkrat he will still be a garbage against Rein, Zarya and D.va comps. You would only turn junkrat even more annoying for beginners.
doomfist shouldve been but now he’s been gutted

If half of the game’s current balance problems were solved by a single character, they’d be egregiously overpowered.

So just because they are easy to start playing they shouldnt be able to achieve anything at high ranks?
Junkrat has (or at least had) a really high skill ceiling
If you were just mediocre at Junkrat you would be annihilated at higher ranks, same goes for Reaper
And Junrkat would kill Goats easily, he is designed to destroy teams that stay together, he pretty much leaves Rein unable to do anything but block, and if played smart you can bait Zarya bubbles by purposely missing, and if D.va tries to dive you, you can simply put a trap and well trap her
Another example is Winston, you simply cant deny that he has a slow skill floor but a high skill ceiling

doomfist’s effectiveness against goats hasn’t really changed with those nerfs. You’re still using uppercut on a giant target and you can land everyshot. With or without that extra CC.
He wasn’t that great against goats in the first place. The nerf was just an extra incentive for people not to pick him anymore.
Nah mate, he could do great against goats since he could burn trough the massive amount of sustain and armor
But since he is pretty much useless, he cant do it anymore, making him unable to counter goats
He was the only dps capable of dealing with Goats since he countered most of the heroes of that comp, while the other dps couldnt or were bad
And the nerf was just stupid BS that completely ruined him since a lot of idiots cried about him

Is that why they buffed McCowboys right click? So he can help counter it but not really?
Junkrat never had a high skill ceiling, this is why he is one of the worst hero I’m any medium-high rank.
Yes we need high skill ceiling heroes, but when the same hero have also a low skill floor it’s really hard (but not impossible) to be balanced.
Because most of the time he was garbage, he was fine until they nerfed his gun

Primary… sure. Concussion… no no no no no no no, and god no. I thought the projectile size nerf was one step too far, but the game was broken before his concussion nerf. If the crazy damage didn’t get ya, the constant ultimates surely would.
