You’re actually at such a major disadvantage if you have a Junker Queen on your team. She’s too squishy, her self-healing is pitiful, she barely offers any team utility with her shout, her ult is basically Nade but an ult. They could have made the ult do massive knockback, but we get nade and bleed and that’s it.
She honestly just feels like they wanted to make her a DPS from the start but they realised they needed a new tank so they just gave her 400HP and called it a day. It’s a shame too, she’s really fun, but right now as it stands she’s probably the worst tank in OW2 and it’s not even close.

She is a very boom or busty hero but I knew this would be a problem… people always want the blue rectangles

If you want the queen to be tanky you have wound multiple people, you life stral stacks the more people you wound

She’s definitely not easy to play, that’s for sure. You gotta be on top of getting that self healing going without going too ham and getting yourself killed.
I can say so far though that playing the Mercy Zen combo with her works quite nicely. I don’t know if damage boost effects her self heal in any way, but it does boost the damage over time.

JQ is OP right now. Especially with a mercy. I’ve only queued tank and have only played JQ. 20+ games

That’s not how you spell Doomfist.
Also I’m having a surprisingly good time on Junkerqueen. She’s much more of an “engage to kill” rather than an engage to disrupt tank. Much like Roadhog, she makes space by being a violent threat. The scream is both a good team engage and disengage ability.
I do think the axe attack could be a bit faster though if we’re not going to make her beefier because stacking bleeds for personal sustain is kind of difficult with it. By the time you get the thing swung and manage to hit someone you’ve usually had a good chunk taken off your health.
Love the knife though, when I can actually hit something with it. The ability to yeet someone closer to shoot them is so fun.
I don’t think she’s bad, but totally a mini Roadhog. However to make her even fun they should make her swing cancel attacks coming at her or reflect.

I think she is really fun… that being said, she feels very underwhelming. as far as power levels go, I give her 2/5 stars. great idea. poor execution on the Dev part. however, I think she can be fixed. there are lots of tiny things that could be done to make her a better tank without changing her completely. ill list 10 of them I thought of.
(I’m not implying that everything I’m listing should be done. but maybe pick and choose a few. mix and match you know.)
my list:
- increase health (not sure by how much. could depend on other buffs)
- increase healing from bleeds
- reduce swing time on axe
- reduce CD on shout (probably very slightly if any)
- make her unstoppable when winding up ult?
- give her shout bonus after she uses ult.
- make it easier to get ult.
- make her bleeds uncurable (not sure if this is already a thing or not so, please don’t flame me for saying this if I’m wrong)
- change the type of anti-healing her ult is so it can’t be cured.
- slight increase in damage. (I think her damage is okay right now)
These are just some ideas. remember I’m not saying all of them should be done. but maybe pick a few and try it. These are just my thoughts and ideas. don’t flame me thanks =)
At the end of the day though. she is still a 10/10 on the hotness scale IMO Haha.

Explain how I can kill an entire team with a mercy using junker Queen using the blade recovery to compensate for the healing mercy cannot do
With the roar just like a d.va The faster your computer is the better your chances are
hm she must clearly be a throw pick when OWL are using her in push maps.
no she is clearly a tank that needs a lot more finesse to get performance. cover usage and using cooldowns efficiently makes a noticeable difference. playing her like Rein you are just feeding.
I think Junker Queen is one of the most balanced tanks, same can’t be said for the rest of the tank roster. Sigma is that broken he doesn’t have footsteps, please give this tank a sound like when echo is flying.
Can’t understand their nonsense approach. Kind of expecting a 25hp buff with a 200% hitbox nerf, after 6 months of doing nothing.

Why do people think a tank needing a mercy pocket is something good, like why is that something to be proud of, SHES A TANK NOT A PHARAH/ECHO!

because this is a team game and nothing should be done alone unless you are a reaper trying to flank the healers to make it easier for the other dps and tank to kill the rest?
A team game can also be played by everyone else playing heros they are good at to there best of there abilities and communicating wtih each other. For example since I don’t play mercy everytime I get a pharah player I straight up lose. Every other tank can play with every other support comp (to a degree) this being a team game literally goes both ways.

stop junker queen is fine like others have tried and i said stop trying to manipulate them into making her ridiculously op
end it
Wasn’t your argument just that she needs a mercy pocket? What happened to that? You already ended it when you ended your main argument…
Also no one wants anything special they really just want like the slightest change. It can be the most miniscule thing like shouting during carnage.

she is a team player that way even her roar is for the entire team
Ahh I see so your saying that should be on a shorter cool down so her and her team can engage more and she can lead them into battle more effectively. Got it.
Id take a 1 second shout reduction that’s fine.
