Played a few rounds as the old boi for kicks, he’s really fun! Really gives the player a chance to express their game sense and intelligence.
His kit may seem random and spammy, but i feel like at the end of the day, he really gets value from reading his opponent’s moves and getting in their head:
man you are just holding m1, what game are you playing
Overwatch, the 9 class bassed shooter where junkrat, the grenade launcher charater happens to take quite a lot of prediction skills than you very much.
This actually makes sense for the character in Lore: most people, upon seeing Junkrat, think he’s a crazed madman with a fascination for explosives, when in reality, he’s actually pretty smart. He comes up with plans (one even managing to steal THE CROWNED JEWELS), he knows how to make explosives (which requires some level of engineering), and has a devilish personality that many confuse for insanity rather than being eccentric.
The only reason players hate Junkrat is because of his spam…spam in which you can avoid if you’re paying attention, unless the Junkrat is anticipating you paying attention, then it becomes mind games.
Junkrat probably the most impressive brain in ow. Winston has created amazing tech, but Junkrat created telekinesis with just junk he found in australia, that’s unmatched by any ow scientist.
I always thought that RIP-Tire was just it frantically revving (and exploding) in the right direction, calculated by Junkrat perhaps? Kind of like unintentionally killing an invisible Sombra, you know full well that it was unintentional, but you play it off like a feat of great skill and perception.
It would be nice if he had more then one trap. Feels weird to just have one.
It could be kinda op tho.
Because it can be combo into deleting a squishy.
If they gave him more traps theyd have to nerf trap damage.
No Junkrat hate Bias either. Hes in my top 5 most played.
As Junk…The more fun you have, the less fun your opponents have.
In all honesty, I just want to triple-jump.
I regret not getting Junkrats golden gun last. I got soldier but like…I don’t even like Soldier that much.
Isn’t that…the plan?
Now you’re getting it!
This is exactly why I loved Mei and Symmetra: you get to punish players for thinking inside the box.
I remember the number of Genji’s that would Error 404 when they found out you couldn’t Deflect Sym Turrets or her beam (I miss 2.0 Sym).
Tilting opponents is a valid strategy. Win mentally.
A certain phrase from a different videogame that I’ve taken to heart:
“Don’t play the game, play the player.”
What game is from btw?
Op please nerf this hero
Genji still can’t deflect lasers though?
