but people think you’re throwing and stop healing you/going with you as dps when you play her that way, ie how she’s meant to be played lol

Her kit is horribly optimized for dive. She only has one 14 second ability that allows her to go in or bail out. Like with Dvas boosters, you’re committed to that cooldown and hope you can use it to W out of there.

Who ever said shes a dive tank? Shes an agressive faster kind of brawler, not dive.

Did I miss the latest patch or something?
Literally the only viable playstyle right now is dive the dps as soon as possible and hard. If you get a 4v5 fast, her underpowerdness does not come into the equation. Maybe after the buff she can poke a bit more, but right now if you try to poke too much you will lose.
Literally nothing about JunkerQueen’s kit says Dive, she has no engage/disengage abilities unlike D. Va & Winston.

I like that term better. Lucio/Brig/JQ really embodied that idea.

she is definetly more suited towards brawl and control then dive but I see what you mean.
She is a throw pick that you don’t pick if you want to win.

She’s a close range hero and has virtually 0 mobility and utilitie for a team. Unfortunately she has no damage and no survivability as well. So she has nothing. Junker Queen… More like Garbage Queen

Her damage is actually very high. She just gets out ranged and has bad survivability.
Oh buddy if you are making plays that are based on those kind of assumptions you dying is purely down to you.
As for dive tank… Dive is a team comp and Junker isn’t part of it. So not really. You can kind of play her like that but the setup is massively different so even on that level i don’t see it.

Her disengage is shout. And she’s pretty simple to get quick picks and get out with. She’s a dive tank 
No thats a ruch rank dive tanks can go in to the back line arround the tank with out having to interact with the tank like wiston, doom and dva
it’s hard to poke with a shotgun, like trying to break barrier alone as roadhog…
name a tank the junkerqueen shouldn’t try to avoid, going directly to the backline to get a quick pick instead
junkerqueen is not good enough against any tank to be played anywhere near the frontline too long, most of the time. your job is to get on their dps or heals and get a kill quick, then shout to get out while proccing self heals on your way on them and maybe getting a second kill. she’s a glass cannon who is only viable in brief bursts, when her cooldowns are available, then must go back quick to her team using her movement abilities. the worst place for her to be is in front of any enemy tank.
ie, she’s a dive tank. and while being a worse dive tank than dva, being more fragile ties her down even harder to the dive tank playstyle as the only way to get any value out of her. whereas dva can do some other things depending on the situation, cause she has more tools than just “AXE THEM IN THE FACE FAST, THE BEST DAMAGE MITIGATION IS ELIMINATIONS!”
I think avoiding was probably the lousy word passing by or getting around without interacting with others tanks would have been better. shes more like rein sarya and hog they are brawl tanks and she fits in with them unlike poke tanks sigma ramatra and orisa. or dive tanks ball dva Winston and doom.
she is twice as effective if you play her like a slower dva and bypass rein to go for the squishies. she is not capable of going toe to toe with rein or hog, and even zarya she needs to give her a 20m radius and go kill several other people before going on her. she’s a dive tank. she may have been meant to brawl, but she absolutely cannot brawl the way rein and hog can and is better off picking off isolated targets instead.
what ability makes her a dive tank and shout is not a dive ability
