Junkrat needs a huge buff

He is too slow for the quickness of the game.

There is nothing he counters.

Give him faster projectile travel and something easier to aim at long distance. His ammo should be increased by 2. Increase the HP on rip tire.

He counters tanks pretty well, if you can hit a target five times wider than a Kiriko.

He doesn’t need more kill potential, he needs more utility.

Bonus barrier damage, trap deals bonus damage when capturing somebody using mobility, maybe he could use gnome armor with his explosives, the could consider replacing trap with a grenade raining attack for some aoe area denial/punishment.

He doesn’t need to kill faster OR easier though. He just needs to be more valuable to his team.

He should get rid of traps ( has nothing to do with I run into everytime)

And be allowed to use his tire as a monocycle.

There can be two ways this can go

One were its used like a sprint like soldier.

Or
He can Parkour with it and climb walls with it, ride on rooftops for a bit like wall climb etc

Maybe they should just tone down everything else instead of buffing everything to keep up with the power creep.

More like he climbs into the tire and rides in it like you would down a hill for stupid fun.

Faster projectiles would be nice to have but his damage would definitely get nerfed.

The faster projectiles for him in the creator mode worked great, just the Tire re-work in that mode made him useless to play.

I was having more of this type in mind

I’m stealing it for… something. it would be an April fools patch, but I’m almost 4 months late for that

Nah, but I was thinking about working on a little something to post to the forums. This will probably go towards that project. No idea when or if I’ll ever get around to finishing it.

That would be nice to see and hope some dev picks it up

The problem isn’t a power creep, it’s a mobility creep.

His projectiles are too slow to hit pretty much anything but a tank. The only way to really get a support is by diving them but he is dead if he misses, unlike a lot of other heroes that can dive in but have a way out.

Maybe they should make his bombs not bounce off the ground and have them detonate. Only bounce off walls etc. Or maybe not bounce at all? Would be nice to detonate a bomb off the wall on flying heroes, rather than trying to get that bounce off or direct hit.

Mobility creep is a subcategory of power creep.
