his burst damage goes brrrrrr lol
No Shot, put your best Junkrat on hitscan and start laughing. Besides Jake lmao he was a Soldier main.
Most GOATED Junkrat’s get so much value out of rip tire. GOATED McCree’s are pure aim with a terrible ultimate.
I think that’s two different subjects personally.
Yeah, landing 25m+ nades or air dinking a Pharah are more difficult to consistently do then your average hitscan shot, but the OP said…
…which is a statement about his aiming skill-floor compared to hitscan, which is what I disagreed with.
Junk gets a ton more basic value spamming shots and catching lucky bounces/blinshots then hitscan can, by their nature there is far less “luck” involved since there is no travel time, AoE damage, MUCH smaller hitboxes, and typically deal less damage.

Well if you stop just walking into his spam, he becomes way easier to deal with, you know. Just saying.

I think they are saying that the spamming playstyle, which is heavily rewarded on certain maps is easy.
Not that he’d be easy in GM where people are a bit better at avoiding spam.

I get that he’s easy to pick up but there’s no reason we should nerf him for it, as he asked for him to be nerfed

I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be controversial, but I’d say someone like Soldier, Widow, or lightly Ashe requires a little more precision than Junk.

It’s not controversial. Against low ranks, yes, you would have to be more precise on those heroes, but it’s not exactly difficult to hit people with predictable movement with hitscan heroes either. If you’re paying attention, you won’t get hit by Junkrat spam generally. They’d have to be really good at predicting your movement without even seeing you to be remotely consistent at getting you like that.

Pardon me, but hitscans shots are more spammable than grenades exactly due to time travel of the projectile. The overall “hit” of Junkrat’s projectile has more stuff that can “trigger” said projectile, which by words makes it easier to “hit” because there is more reasons to hit. The thing is that, by the time you do land most shots/kills or whatever, a hitscan has likely already gunned you down or even another projectile user like Hanzo have already bursted you to dust. Junkrat has to deal with a pronounced arc-shot, while hitscans have to deal with static horizontal shots and hanzo has to deal with either near-static horizontal shot to non-charged pronounced arc-shot.
I understand half the playerbase hates on Junkrat, but that’s exactly why there are multiple other games out there who do not have this kind of character. I wouldn’t be playing Overwatch if we didn’t have gimmicky characters that aren’t hitscan oriented overall only.
I’ve played since nearly the beginning as a Junkrat main, but I’ve also faced that struggle of having to deal with Junkrats on maps he excels on with heroes I don’t main like I do with Junkrat. I know the pain that it can be to literally just feed into Junkrat’s damage. I can tell you that, of his entire grenade clip, you can learn the amount he has in it, 5 grenades, the moment he stops to reload is the gap you got an opening, and it’s sincerely really dodgeable if you’re not a tank most of the time.

He is actually very fun to play, because u can play him even if you miss your brain, or be drunk, or never played a shooting game before.
Worst part of his isnt even his stupid mine nade combo, its the random hits since the last buff of his nades. Spam A, hit enemy on B. Good design.

I’d like to introduce you to Widow, Mccree, Doom, Tracer and Mei. It seems as though you haven’t met them yet.
Playing Junk outside of Anubis/into hitscans is far more inconsistent for most players (meaning difficult) than playing hitscans on most maps into most comps. He’s absolutely a difficult hero to main in high ranks because of how easily he is countered. It necessitates making less mistakes than the hitscans as they have more chance to “outplay” anyone who tries to punish their mistakes whereas Junkrat does not.

Junkrat is why i bought the game and after 5 years he’s still my favourite character.
Just love one tapping Widowmakers or use a tire to solo ult Genji.
