He’s the most annoying character to go up against in this game. All you need to do is spam your primary fire down a choke point while getting free kills, damage, and ult charge. Then you just need to get in a hidden spot near the enemy team and use your ult and boom: 3+ kills and potg. E A S Y. no skill needed. (Nerf this thing pls)

I don’t mind junkrat
He’s eh
This game needs more heroes like Junkrat. Too much precision, to much dive, too much coordinated speed boost.
We need more unbridled madness.

Ironically a very good junk requires more precision than the vaunted hitscan overlords.
We don’t talk about that though.

Oooh he just makes me so mad. I’ll be trying to heal my team and keep my Genji sugar daddy alive and I’ll get solo-ulted by Junkrat.

No he absolutely does not.
Yeah, landing air shots and nade accuracy separates the great Junks from the bad Junks, but it still bounces around, is spammable, and has AoE damage. It has a MUCH lower accuracy requirement to still get value over hitscan.

As someone who was once a low rank player, I 100% understand. he’s annoying as hell because no one does anything about him.
If you are dying to this consistently, the problem isn’t junkrat.

Countering Junkrat needs some effort from the team.
I always call for my Orisa to help counter Junkrat.
She provides some shielding for DPS to get a shot at him.
My Orisa likes to hunt Junkrat with good damage boosting.
Mercy or Zen, it doesn’t matter.
With good support, she closes the distance, deploys her shield, Fortify to step through his trap, use halt to prevent him from getting away, finish him.
Orisa can do it if she saves ALL her abilities to approach him to cut him down.
But people hating Junkrat is 90% of what makes him so much fun

I’ll argue that hitscans require lower accuracy requirement since you don’t need to bother with travel time and so long you keep your crosshair on the enemy, you’ll hit.
In comparison, Junkrat nades are piss easy to evade compared to a hitscan.

People’s minds work in different ways. Some people think it’s more mind intensive, tiring, and active to track with hitscan and think projectiles are more spray and pray while others think leading shots is more skillful and intensive.

The fun thing about junkrat and people talking about how skillless he is while also dying to him will always be the most amusing stuff you’ll read on these forums.
His grenades are the easiest thing to dodge in this game. Big, red, super slow… All you gotta do is learn how to strafe. You have more than enough time to dodge them.
