I’ve almost entirely stopped playing Junkrat as he’s become boring to me. I used to play him all the time, he was my most played.
Then I fully realized that if I can’t get into people’s faces, all I’m able to do is stand with my team and spam left click and hope I hit someone. He’s Reaper in that regard, if he’s too far away and can’t get close enough, he basically has nothing to do. All he really has going for him is his mine combo at close range, because his spam is basically completely useless now.
People have also gotten a lot better at taking out his tire so that’s not very good anymore either. I’ll press Q, run it up against a wall for a bit, try and take it around or over and it immediately gets destroyed the second I can see the enemy team by an Ashe, Cassidy, Widow or Hanzo.
Junkrat feels almost completely useless in today’s Overwatch. I see him played less and less as the seasons go on.
