it does make sense though lol
a .4 projectile is massive
you have to think of it from a balancing perspective, they removed the combo because it wasnt fun to play into but then made the nades more consistent but they were TOO consistent at .4 so they nerfed it to .35
yes the cheesy rat playstyle is less effective if not outright dead, but thats an overall buff to the game even though its a nerf to the rat
Yeah we donāt need Junkrat launching damn near Symmetra bowling ball grenades at people. No matter how easy they are to dodge you have to think about the people that can actually aim with the hero
Compare the speed of his projectile and the arc to other projectiles. Look at Pharah. Her rockets are the same size but are 60% faster, fire in a straight line and she has more ammo. Junk has a .1 faster rate of fire. Great.
Then look at their kits.
You guys need to make up your minds. He loses his combo but nobody wants him to get consistent directs either. What exactly do you expect him to do? He has the slowest projectiles in the entire game with an arc that range caps him as well.
I think we should see how consistent they are with the global buffs because it is a pretty big increase
and if it still sucks iām not opposed to buffing him, but i donāt think making them that big would be necessary just yet
Junk isnāt inconsistent due to his projectile size. Increasing it doesnāt solve the problem.
Itās a preemptive nerf since his projectiles are affected by the global increase. Otherwise heād be shooting canon balls
Syms current orbs are .5 and travel at twice the speed. Nobody has trouble moving out of the way.
Awww opās topic wasnāt the legit note post 
Youāre the wrong one! Iām telling! Whereās robot mod-daddy? Heāll right this wrong in 1-3 business days. Ha-ha!
Noice
Junkrat officially died with season 9
instead of 0.25 + 0.15 = 0.4
now he gets 0.2 + 0.15 = 0.35
I know. Heās getting less of a buff than the other heroes because he was pre-emptively nerfed. Since clearly heās going to be an absolute menace without his combo.
all heroes that combo dependent also suffer this
so like genji, doom, ana and your fav junk
they allready said they plan to further adjust individual hero that need tuning, so i figure maybe they get compensation or something idk
There isnāt a hero in the entire game as reliant on a combo as Junkrat is on his. Yet heās getting pre-emptively nerfed on top of losing the combo.
Oh please this is Blizzard theyāre going to take 6 months to fix anything.
uh u should try play genji and kill anything without using any dash / melee / deflect
Why not buffing some Ball damage? Why? There is absolutely no reason every single tank has been buffed except the worst one. Ridiculous
They got dva bomb completely wrong. It was already doing 1000 dmg
Hog, Mauga, Ram and a few others werenāt buffed either.
Correct. I was too angry to notice it.

Has anyone else noticed that despite the promise at blizcon, our matchmaking stacking requirements have not changed. So much for wide parties huh?
the main difference between rat and pharah was that rat had a dmg combo and his nades BOUNCE off walls and linger while a missed rocket is a missed rocket
the fact they bounce counts for alot, a .35m nade that can bounce off walls is insane
junkrat is also one of the only heroes that can boop people into the air, making it easier for himself to land that air shot.
yes rat is outdated but its not fair to compare it to pharah since she just got a rework, something that may come to rat at a later point in time
junkrat is the only hero i could find in the top 500 that had more then 1 OTP (on dps) 1-2 weeks ago, think about how crazy that is
of course they are going to nerf junkrat when hes the most consistently one tricked dps in top 500
i understand that this sucks from a junkrat players perspective but look at it from everyone elses perspective
no one likes having skyrat fly down to combo them for free, no likes having flankrat sitting in some random corner to combo them
its not engaging gameplay and it feels in the moment skill-less, we can argue weather or not its ādifficultā to setup for skyrat or to get into those flanking positions but no one enjoys it
thats why he got nerfed, a nerf to junkrat is QoL buff to everyone else. hopefully they rework him but i cant really argue against nerfing him when i see how annoying he is across the board.
in the same vein i think its good that hanzo cant 1 shot, but i also think WIDOW shouldnt be able to one shot which a .08m hitscan bullet
