He is still least picked hero in GM and almost the same in masters. Perhaps this truly shows it wasnāt the changes he needed? In fact, I think the pickrate has gone down the last two weeks and his winrate is barely maintaining 50%
Even bastion is getting some spotlight time with baptiste and orisa, while you have junk sitting in the corner absolutely uselessā¦
What I suggest:
Primary Fire
- Damage goes 130 -> 110 -> 90 upon each bounce
- Size goes 0.3 -> 0.25 -> 0.2 upon each bounce
Concussion Mine
- Falloff Damage removed
- Damage reduced to 80 in air
- CC mine does 120 flat damage if planted on surface
Rip-Tre:
- Remove pause after detonating tire (camera immediately goes back to Junk)

Yes the current buff is not enough for the pros apparently.
But the .3 was too much for them becauseā¦ i dont know?
He was better at .3 before they labeled him a āclose range heroā.
āClose range heroā pretty much means āa hero that sucks anywhere that isnt the tightest quarters of the mapā. Most maps have more open spaces for the Hitscans to take advantage of. Even Junkrats best map, Kings Row, is still a good map to play Widowmaker.

He needed his ult charge nerfed, the only OP thing about him was how fast he would get it before he got nerfed

And yet still not least picked in OWL. Amazing.

Well OWL is a group of players who play together constantly and are looking for the best way to beat certain comps. So they try to use Junkrat every once in a while. But they use Zarya like 95% of the time or something.

He is not far from it. Ashe isnāt being picked because widow is literally just better

They should just revert him for PC, and leave him the way he is on console. I think the console is probably why he cant be .3

I thought that was Pharah for console. But overall in my experience never had an single problem with Junkrat on console. Why Junkrat doesnāt get properly buff because a lot of people hate Spamming nades with luck BS involved.

So what if he spams grenades? Move in a different direction. I think most people are just stupid and dont know how to use a different doorway, and they are not used to having to pay attention to Junkrat because he has been the trash pick for so long.

This is also true as well. Also, these type of people fall for the same Junkrat trap spots over and Over again too. But they just need to revert his nade size anyways.

Itās like making his primary brain dead while ruining his area denial was a stupid idea, or something.
Shame they did not do something useful, like revert the projectile size thing
Who cares? That means nothing

Why pick Junkrat when you can pick Hanzo and do pretty mcuh the same thing except better?

Hanzo canāt CC and his ult isnāt as good
You dont need to CC if you can just Storm Arrow a tank to death. And Hanzo ult doesnt always get kills but it unstoppable and it denies area

The top players in the world donāt think heās non-viable. Iād say that means something. Literally the only people I ever hear complaining about how weak Junk is are people who just spam corners all day.

Please, OWL players only care if the core 8 or so are viable or not

The top players in the world think hes not viable in standard play. They use him to test out bunker comps or try to break shields I guess. Because thats all hes ok for.
3 Likes
because pros know how to run him properly in bunker compositions and enable him in ways pubs donāt
itās like how people used to complain about how orisa is the worst hero in the universe despite being in the meta for the entirety of owl
