Owl players trying to focus on the match not looking out for a random 'nade dealing 120 damage to them.
…but to be fair Overwatch is a DPS that caters, hard, to newbies with several heroes having access to low-skill, low-aim abilities:
Etc, etc.
Some hereos are completely skill/aim based, others are for “What’s a DPS?” players.
Contrary to popular belief, Junkrat is not OP, he is well balanced, and no he is not spamming bombs, there is a very fun physics involved with playing Junkrat at higher tiers, maybe in lower tiers he may be a bit spammy, but no hes pretty balanced.
I read title as jakerat
I’m a tank/support player and I think he is fine. His ult while can charge fast is easy to destroy since you can hear it coming from miles away and if people scatter far enough he only gets one kill from it. Spamming while annoying is part of him as well.
it not only ruins OWL but OW as a whole m8
So you provide anecdotal evidence to counter his anecdotal evidence?
His grenades should really be sticky charges - requires aim to stick to a person and then blows up 1-2 seconds later dealing 80 or so dmg max.
Cool! I love jokes AND junkrat!. Always did feel that the matches could use some good ol comedy. YAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!
ok i’ve read through this entire thing and i just have to say its pretty stupid Junkrat is fine and might only need an ult charge nerf IMO this thread is a joke
Its ironic. You know for me playing widow so much I instinctively shoot his tire without even thinking about it. I’ve rarely missed one, its so easily destroyed lol.
and yet some how its a problem in OWL lol and im freaking plat or was two seasons ago when I bothered with ranked.
I personally want all ‘low skill’ heroes to be on par with ‘high skill heroes’ for the entirety of the game- that way the people who b*tch too hard are just bad. 
Also, seriously? He got 1 pick out of 3 riptires. In a match.
Y’all complain too much for the forums to be credible more than 22% of the time.
So true
As someone who has 1 tricked Junkrat since season 2 I laugh when I run into a “season 6 Junkrat 1 trick/main” Because 99% of the time I stomp them since i actually know how to play Junkrat and I can hit direct shots with my primary(and 90% of my mines are direct full damage mines since I KNOW him)
Yeah, but there’s things that are not in the kill feed, such as comms or positioning. The “FIRE IN THE HOLE” makes everyone panic, scatter, etc. That itself gives you an advatange over the enemy team simply because you can take advatange of the scatter and positioning. That’s probably been used in pro games such as OWL. And it’s still one of the more reliable DPS ults used to secure 1+ kills. And it charges incredibly fast.
Maybe if you’re a season 6 Junkrat
Also I consistently kill tires with Junkrat- It’s not that hard to kill it when 80% of things cam 1 shot it
Saying Junkrat is turning OWL into a joke when the OWL was a joke from the outset.
Competitive OW is a joke.
Blizzard’s inability to balance this game however, is something that needs to be addressed. (Junkrat is balanced already, but plenty of other heroes aren’t.) Blizzard’s focus needs to be shifted towards balancing heroes and making everyone as fun and viable as possible. Once they do, competitive OW will shift accordingly, and become worth playing.
I’d be alright with that, it’s one of the more valid complaints I see about Junkrat so i’d be down for an ult charge nerf.
Have his ult charge slower and give him his good mines and trap+mine back and he’d be just fine, then all that’s left are things that he’s been able to do since launch.
Everything else is a L2P issue, got killed by grenade spam? Open your eyes and pay attention. Got killed by conc mine and a grenade? Don’t get so close to him (seriously he’s been able to do that since launch, how are you unable to wrap your head around the concept of different heroes having different effective ranges?).
Outside of that Junkrat is fine.
…says the Junkrat player.
But in all seriousness, he’s not really a problem anymore. He has SOME issues, like his tire might need a bit of a ult charge nerf, but nothing major.
As of rn in terms of comp OW, i’d say Sombra and Moira are bigger issues than Junkrat.
Grrrr
I was trying to read your comment and you edited when I was halfway through 
I was somewhat confused for a moment…
Lol I’m fine with scatter it wasn’t fun sure but it wasn’t like it happened all day everyday. Someone had to pick Hanzo first. I do like that they are giving him more viability so I’m not against that either.
I just have a problem when players swear an ability should be removed because lack of “skill” or “not fun” when its more of not having a counter or the mechanics needing tweaks. Mark my words they will ask for Volley to be removed next if not nerfed. We already got calls for hack nerfs and Mercy’s res has essentially been nerfed without being removed. Doomfist was nerfed out of the game because of his hitbox and yet say anything about Genji’s hitbox or wanting viable counters for Tracer and its a conspiracy against dps mains.
My evidence came from OWL itself, they have these little popups that show you stats on how heros played in the match. The one I mention was “used 3 rip-tires but only managed to secure 1 kill” it was a FACT, nothing anecdotal about it (but its counter to the whole “riptire is a guaranteed kill” argument so I can see why you just want to ignore it)
Also this a million times
