Junk boops are way too much now

Flying all over the place as tank. The amount junk boops tanks now is just silly. Throw in another booper like ball or doom or lucio and the game becomes unplayable fun-wise. Junk is the main problem though and is now in more than 60% of my games.

Just started throwing now instead of getting motion sick from all the booping.

Delete him with hitscans, Pharah, Dva, or Orisa so you can stop crying.

He’s has so many counters to bully him with.

It’s a YOU problem if you can’t handle Junkrat

You didn’t even give this statement enough time to decompose. C’mon now.

He throws everyones aim off including their own teams, often saves enemy players from elimination and you hear them say ā€˜I’m just having fun’ at the expense of winning the game.

As a Junk main, in my ranks, people consider it either a throw or me losing sanity.

You be the judge.

I’ve been seeing him a ton in my QuickPlay games and couldn’t figure out why. Maybe this is why. He’s been very common in QuickPlay since the mid-season patch.

Had a Junk save a Nanogenji with his mine, just as I was about to sleep him.

Lordy I was fuming for hours.

Yes but if you’ll look here, my client said ā€œBeep beep, boom boomā€
So he is innocent.

I installed a couple of hours ago for the weekend and I don’t think I’ve played more than 2 games that didn’t include junk. He’s ok if his play time is limited, but he’s a bit much when he’s in this many games.

The issue isnt counterplay for me. The issue is that getting bounced like crazy when I play rein just gets more nauseating than in ow1 at times. Its not just junkrat- junk rat just has booping per every grenade is all. The solution would be to increase boop resistance on certain tanks (hint hint the steadfast passive) so that it makes sense gameplay loopwise

What an interesting idea, Jack. I would certainly appreciate such a revolutionary concept making it’s way to the game!

He’s been better since the 225 hp changes. He got his kill combo back. The boop helps. Kind of. Muscle memory for the air shot was messed with a little bit.

every boop in the game shouldnt exist, Nothing worse than boop. Even stun feels better

Like genuinely why do you play? You hate sombra, hitscans, all boops. Like you hate 80% of the roster.

Any hero that rolls me is op no skill obv

Obv. It’s Overwatch. We’re already considered the least skilled shooter. :joy:

Or just let your hitscan delete him while they stand behind Reind barrier.

Or pick Dva and DM his mines while batter ramming him with some missiles and a boop.

Let the Widow, Pharah, or Echo take the shot.

You don’t need Rein to be the killing blow.

Let Junkrat have some meaning and agency in the game.

As I said before majority of the DPS roster can just do his job better. Pharah has the superior boop and she can move faster where you won’t see it coming.

Mine you can see coming unless Junk puts it in a cute hiding spot with the trap.

I don’t hate hitscan other than Widow and Sombra, but not because they are hitscan but rather they are just unfun and unhealthy for the game.

The heroes I dislike are

ana
sombra
widow
mauga

and I did dislike DVa but she seems better to play against now, and currently junk is in way too many games considering his boop is incredibly annoying to play against and how low skill and cheesy he is, but he will be fine once he is in less games again.

I like playing as Queen, but currently she has too much self-sustain. She is ok to play against but gets frustrating. I don’t dislike her but she does need some adjustments.

You know… Mine Booping a Rein charging you off the map is the most fun you can have in a game,

He starts to charge you, halfway to you hit the mine, watch him fly over head and off the cliff… Then laugh and slap down a spray

Have you tried going Dva?

Also, have to say it as a huge Junkrat main,Junkrat does need kind-of a powershift. Make spam more difficult. I don’t think the nades need to be quite as big if we can barely get the combo again.
