yes but as a team you can kill it instantly imagine if dvas mech had 200 health hit would be killed in a second why did the team d other same wit hjunk
so it was a crippling trap instead of a snare trap? i kind of like the sound of that, better. why did they change it back?
Thanks for the history lesson!
To add more hero breaking bugs!

Couple bugs with it.
Mostly, if you did damage to the slowed target, they would immediately lose the slow effect, so several heroes could escape the damage from Junkrat’s rather inaccurate primary fire and concussion mines.
The other issue was, despite saying that the trap was doing 100 damage, it was observed multiple times in game that it was still doing 80 damage.
And in general, I think Blizzard found that Junkrat’s traps were useful for catching flanks against Supports and having the snare just felt better (most agreed). The one big highlight that everyone loved was the increased toss range for the trap.
Just a small correction…He never received the 100 damage change until after they reverted the trap. It was 80 damage for the entirety of the time his trap slowed.

What? That is even more confusing.
Right. That was a bug.
Laughably it’s true. I even made a thread about it at the time: Day 23 of Junks trap damage being wrong
Just Blizzard being Blizzard.
They just forgot to change the damage value

I’ve had all of these and I main junkrat in masters+
okay please show them i haven’t seen any video on them or and forms on them to me most sound like you just didn’t hit or messed up your jump and blame it on a bug and no that you might have missed or walked to far
No I’ve literally gone back and watched replays where my mine is in their face, detonates and does 0 damage and 0 cc displacement…
If you were playing junk you would have noticed it by now if you’re using your eyes.
I’ve had this happen easily 15+ times now.
please record the replay so i can see
I’m not gonna go log in at 2am to try and get a no reg mine for someone on the forums.
Go play the hero and use your eyes.
just do it next time you see it no rush i just don’t see it that’s all i would like evidence of it missing
its not so bad, dont let the doomsayers of social media get to you.
barring sojourn and hog, the game feels pretty good.
I mean sure kiriko is busted and the best hero in the game but she’s sure as hell fun to play with and im glad the meta revolves around her atm in a way, also super high skill hero. cant wait for the other 2 to get nerfs tho lol
junkrat’s trap has been under adjustment since beta, from what i’ve been reading.
There was no nerf. This is how he has been since OW2 release. They were simply documenting a change they had not previously mentioned - an oversight. So those who now say that junk is bad because of this nerf in this patch should laugh loudly at themselves for their imagination getting the better of them.
