I don’t hate Junk as much anymore but no
dam if someone can take down a flying target like pharah as junkrat consistently than thats skill lol
nice video
I flip flop between Junkrat and Sombra as my DPS mains but hot dang is Junkrat so fun to play. There’s just something so satisfying about connecting two pipes together in perfect succession or just going ham like a mad lad.
Maybe it’s because I really enjoy playing Demoman a lot but both are just so satisfying to play.

Alternatively, it takes no skill to counter him since he’s a barely viable Hero in a game filled with very viable Heroes. So… Get some skill, sis.
What’s next - you’re going to tell me Symmetra is impossible to fight against? :^)

I stand by tire being one of the most consistent counters to nano blade. Plus it’s hilarious every single time. Bonus points if the Genji rage swaps immediately afterwards to a Junk counter.

I mean, I solo tire Genjis all the time.
Considering NanoBlade is up way to often and tire can still one shot a nanod genji
…again, and you’re the third person to completely misinterpret what I was saying and spin it off into a complete straw man argument, the quote I relied to was talking about his aim-requirement skill floor to get value “required more precision” then hitscan.
I don’t disagree Junk is currently more difficult to play in top 500 then McCree, literally no one would argue otherwise.
But junk gets FAR more value then hitscan by just putting on a blindfold and firing at a choke endlessly. People can walk into them, they are more forgiving, great shield break, has AoE damage, bounce off walls and the floor, and have a higher burst damage then most hitscan, can hit multiple people, ect.
Absolutely not. See above.
Good junk will make your life h*ll but I think he’s pretty balanced
yEAH, HIS BOMBS MAKE TOO MUCH DAMAGE AND HIS ULT SHOULD BE NERFED TO NOT CLIMB LEDGES NOR CONTROLLING IT EVEN AFTER jUNKRAT IS KILLED (Dead Junkrat should STAY DEAD!).
nERF jUNKRAT, bLIZZARD!

People tend to ignore two heroes in this game : Junk and Zarya
They’re very different I know, but those two have a very exposable weakness if you pay attention to their CDs.

Bastion is a hitscan. Soldier spams more direct bullets into chokes than Junkrat could ever dream to, and Soldier gets a 2x Crit multiplier. Soldier can put a potential 1,140dmg into a choke in a clip, Junkrat can throw a total of 600. Save your argument for something either more accurate or more relevant.

Why don’t you play junk in plat for 5 games and tell me he’s not easy?
The only ones that out of those 5 that even come close to annoying me as much as junkrat are doom and McCree.

You should do the same with McCree, maybe you would find a greater appreciation for just how broken he is.
what are his counters though? isnt genji a good counter because of deflect and dash?
Bastion is the clear exception because his drum is like 10s of constant fire and he can reload in other forms to minimize reload time. Pretending Bastion is who people are referencing when talking about hitscan is disingenuous.
A spammed lucky Soldier bullet deals 20dmg, junk deals like 120. They aren’t remotely comparable when it comes to spam… and again, there is no ricochets, someone turning the corner at the wrong time after a shot, or hitting multiple people.
Only against bad players… Stop walking into the second slowest moving damage ability in the game.

We have similar tastes - I do add Doomfist into that rotation as well though.
I tried playing Doomfist but I always struggle a lot with him.

Junkrat isnt even low skill floor. At that point, you are depending entirely on luck, that is no skill floor, that is just every projectile hero played by bad players. It can work, but it wont.
