Such a stupidly designed hero. his entire kit is 80% luck based, every time I die to a junkrat it isn’t because he has aimed at me directly, its just the spam damage and rng of the bombs bouncing. His tire is skilless. His trap is skilless. His primary fire is skilless. Everything about this hero doesn’t belong in a competitive game like Overwatch. I have 0 respect for junkrats.

He is one of the easiest to counter dps in the game, stop dying to spam lol.

Ok let me call upon the gods to give me good rng so that junk won’t accidentally kill me.

You walking into the location he is spamming is not RNG. Take a different route.

Yeah I am aware of that, but most times I die to junkrat it is a rng hit. Junkrats hero design is based on luck more than mechanical skill, therefore he does not belong in a game like overwatch.

Nice opinion bro. But that is not true a lot of the time.
When I boop people up and shoot them out of the air that is not luck.
When i save my tyre to kill the nanoblading genji that is not luck.
When i put my trap next to Ana to snag the enemy doomfist that is not luck.
It’s planning, prediction, awareness and mechanics.
Git gud.

Ok but the thing is all those things aren’t hard to do. It braindead gameplay and shouldn’t be in the game. Completely skilless champion which is why you’re a hardstuck plat junk main. Play a real hero buddy

It’s literally big brain gameplay XD It’s the genji that got solo riptyred over and over thats braindead.
They are called heroes. This is not League.
I’m not a Junk main and yes I am hardstuck but climbing slowly again. Age and much higher ping than most players will do that

Lucky for Junk that you’re unable to adapt and keep getting outplayed, I guess.

The RNG factor of it is extremely easy to see coming, so unless you need glasses i doubt it’ll be much of an issue.

I don’t believe for a second you’re higher than plat if you’re actively complaining about junk

Im stating fact that junk is RNG based. Its a simple concept to understand if you had more than half a brain. Junk does not belong in this game I’ve said it like 3 times now. I’ve never had troubles playing against the hero. I literally have no problems with any other hero as they are reasonably skill reliant unlike junk.

You should watch one of the GM Junk’s on twitch. You’ll quickly change your mind. prolikechro would be a good place to start.

No it isn’t. Spamming an enemy point isn’t skill.
Getting a quad with your broken Tire isn’t skill
Junk is the lowest risk, highest rewarding character in the game. Get Gud
“Grenade Launcher” is a very common arena shooter weapon. ie. Quake 2 and 3, etc. Since this game uses most main weapons from the best fps games it makes sense to have a character who’s weapon is that. Also, he is insanely easy to counter. Sounds like a git gud issue to me.
Junkrat is very easy to counter. But I think everyone is caught up speaking on his viability rather than his design.
I agree that he’s a poorly designed hero. Incredibly easy to play, often gets kills on accident, and can instantly delete you at close range using 0 mechanical skill.
But then is also made irrelevant the moment you go a flier or long-ranged character. I think its all just a weird fit and would love to see him redesigned but it’ll never happen because he’s never meta and easily countered.

Sig or dva counters him.
