You ignored the possibility of Junkrat wanting to aim and calculate speed and angle to hit someone. The projectile size was reduced therefore it was made harder to hit people, THEREFORE more skillful.
I guess I’m the crazy guy who thought the toon was fine before they gave him double thrown bombs. Why would his primary need a nerf??

Have you considered causing the mines to do a maximum of 80 damage (possibly without falloff), increasing ult charge requirement, and then reverting his primary fire size- as an ideal Junkrat?
The reason I say 80 damage maximum (with possibly no falloff), is so that- Junkrat doesn’t suffer in the way Soldier does.
Soldier is regarded as an overall AMAZING hero, but not picked in high tiers because -he does plenty of damage, but doesn’t get kills. He doesn’t finish targets consistently.
If Junkrat had a reliable combo again, alongside his hitbox on projectiles being reverted, do you think that would be a good change for Junkrat- alongside the nerfs to his Ult?

Junk needs more nerfs. He’s to mobile due to double mine ability, to much of a one trick pony that is op, his rip-tire damage spread is still to high, and his grenades do to much damage. He’s virtually the best shield breaker in the game on offense and defense. In lower rank, he’s in most comps, and I disagree with people dropping riptire from the top of the map because they can crawl anywhere with it.
i hope thats a joke, if not i will gladly prove you wong

incorrect, junkrat cant hit anything anymore due to them being so small, those “aimed shots” turn into more spam

This is exactly why junkrat will never get buffed even though he needs one badly. He is still a cancer in lower elo and was in pretty much every gold game when he got buffed.
They need to buff him and raise his skill floor at the same time.

I pray to the lord that skillrat, crutch rat, I can’t aim rat whatever you wanna call him is never viable above gold again.
When he was viable it was cancer. He’s such a no skill hero that it would definitely ruin the game again if he was OP
It should be noted that the Demoman was constantly complained about as well. Bad players just don’t understand area denial, and it’s funny because Junkrat has so much less to work with than the Demoman ever did: Junk has 5 grenade shots, 2 mines, and a trap while Demo had 4 grenade shots, 8 sticky bombs and no cooldowns.

Do whatever you want with Junk. But for the love of god, remove his stupid ult invulnerability.
its way to easy to hit for 120 damage with it from any range it needs the fall off so it isn’t just spamming 2 mines for instan kills.
what?

My wild guess is that he means:
When you kill junkrat when ults, the tire dies too. There is nothing else that translates even remotely as “invulnerability”.
Bad idea though.

Junkrat is one of those rare (annoying to deal with at times) heroes with a low skill floor but an extremely high skill ceiling. The difference between a Bronze Junk and a Diamond Junk is, aside from the obvious better positioning and gamesense, is the ability to know where the bomb is going to land after bouncing. They both look like they’re mindlessly spamming bombs but the higher-ranked Junk will have significantly better angling. Even in Gold many Junk players can fill a choke with bombs and you can’t even tell for sure where they’re coming from, because they’re banking them all into the choke. This, while annoying, is literally his job. Complaining that he’s filling an area with spam bombs is the same as complaining that you can’t kill the enemy team because they’re getting healed.

Pretty much this. It’s the same people here who would shout “sticky spam” in TF2.

the problem with junkrat is tanking in low elo is generally really poor. PLus most maps have open space then choke and rinse and repeat
