why is it okay to hold character in trash tier.
Cause Junkrat canât allowed to be good, somehow.
Edit: Meanwhile, Tracer/Hanzo/Widow can never be touched.

I was testing the damage, it wasnt some huge improvement. People just cry when hes damage boosted. Meanwhile Hanzo silently climbs to a spot Junkrat cant see him, then 1 shots him in the head (as this requires some amazing skill because no one ever gets headshots, right). Or Genji dashes every tire he puts out or it dies or gets negated a million other ways.

Wait why phara but not junk? Iâd argue phara is 100X easier. Large rockets in a straight line with forgiving splash> small nades that arc hmmmmmmmmmmmm

The catch-up-to-Valve game, still relevant 12 years on.
Honestly, I donât understand why blizzard isnât listening. Junk doesnât need ult charge increase, if anything he needs it decreased. He needs to be more consistent. His pills need to go back to 0.3 and the very best âbuffâ you can give junkrat is making so that his sticky bombs do 80 flat damage when detonated in air and 120 when placed on the ground. - done.

Simpliest most elegant answer 100% agree. That is fair, balanced and- why arenât they hiring you
If you did a flat 80 on the mine, then iâd be at the splash damage level of a helix rocket, which has the same CD but is a lot faster and easyier to land, since it doesnât travel in an arch. Not really a fair thing to do to him.
Devâs just donât know what the hell they want to do with junkrat, so theyâd rather have him broken than any good. Remember when they said they wanted him to be more consistend and gave him the double mine? Yeah, had to take away 1/3 on the size, make his tire harder to get, make his mine unconsistent, and his tire is now targetable by aimbot ults. The only consistency he got is the amount of bs nerfs they toss at him.

Oh golly⌠i am so surprised⌠who could have thought that adding an increase to junkrats damage might boost his ult charge for the few direct hits he getsâŚ
wait⌠WE saw that coming.
⌠its a good thing they donât listen to us or they might have to reduce his primary damage and charge rate⌠oh wait.
I donât even understand the point of this change anymore, he can no longer pixel 200hp heroes with a grenade + mine and he can no longer kill a Brigitte or Torbjorn with a grenade + mine because of armour ⌠so thanks for the buff vs Reaper and Mei and some extra trash damage on barriers and tanks? Sure, adjust the ultimate charge to match the damage scale, but unless the added damage makes the character more consistent then itâs a worthless way to buff the character.
Landing a pill and then not being able to confirm the kill using the mine on a 200 hp hero sucks. Having the mine do 80 flat dmg would prevent junkrat from just throwing 2 mines in a row at a squishy and exploding them as well, while still managing cooldowns to burst down 250 hp heroes that get too close (Assuming he lands a pill). It would give him much needed consistency and up his skill factor for people who actually can aim with junkrat. Imo 2 mines was a great change to Junkrat because it gave him much needed mobility, and the hero feels overall more fun to play. As it is, mine often does <80 dmg (it does anywhere between 24 and 120 dmg depending on the blast radius distance), pills sometimes go through heroes making him very unreliable in any scenario.
Having the mine do flat 120 dmg, once it is on solid surface would still enable trap + mine kills.
They need to increase the thrown mines minimum damage, to make their outcome a little more reliable and increase the grenades size to 0.25 or 0.3 so that they donât clip through heroes or the environment so easily.
Even hanzoâs arrow is easier to hit a headshot with that to hit someone with a junkâs grenade.
This is not fu***call of duty!!! why people still comenting like this!!!

nah leave junkrat as is on ptr
Do you not remember why they nerfed the nade size?
When he got his two mines, it made the original nade size ridiculous to deal with. They had to nerf it, otherwise junkrat was killing everything in sight, with no skill needed.
No, the nade size doe NOT need to go back to original size.
Thatâs because they needed to nerf Hanzo.
But that aside, you are comparing to completely different type of weapons and what they do.
Apparently the ult charge nerf means junkrat needs to hit 1 more nade than before to get his ult, even with 130 damage. That math also means only direct hits, which means ult charge from his other sources is also reduced so overall, well he needs to do a lot more work for his ult.
