Soooo since the game released, junkrat hasn’t been nerfed much, there were only minor nerfs and the most ridiculous of them all was the reduction in his bomb size that would force players “to aim well”. As of today, in almost all comp matches, junkrat is in the meta and almost all of them just aim upwards and shoot and get a triple kill. This has happened to me 4 times in the past 1 hour that I’ve played and it’s not about being clustered with ur team cuz ik junkrat is good at area control, as a healer, I was away from my team, healing them from afar and suddenly I died due a junk just blindly shooting in the sky lmao.Still waiting for any kind of nerf to him, since there hasn’t been single meta where he was not in and now that he has two explosive mines, his dmg is doubled and 1v1 against him is a nightmare, unless u’re a pharah. Sooo, are we ever gonna see some kind of skill capitalization in this character??? Or do we just need to face the bs forever???
Or maybe move out of the way?
Ummmm that’s the whole point of the post, his bombs bounce off everything so u never know when u’re gonna get hit and die and all the junk does is just shoot everywhere blindly.
Junkrat? In this meta?
Anyway, I love how an inability to get out of the way of his nades equates to Junkrat having no skill. Yeah those big glowy slow ball thingies bouncing around? Don’t go into them.
Haha it seems like none of u read the whole post, well I guess that’s what ignorance means hehe. The whole point of this post is that his bombs kill u even when u’re not near them and junkrat doesn’t take any skill cuz as I said earlier, if u would have read the whole post, ppl just aim into the sky and their bombs land on u even when u’re far from ur team.
I get tilted evey time enemies pick him to counter my Mei or my Zarya, feels every time “Oh well, cheap win with no much skill”
Exactly, there’s zero aspect of aiming involved.I don’t have a problem with his abilities, but his primary weapon needs to be looked at to remove the bs, it’s just ludicrous.
I know there is a difference between hitscan and projectile aim, for McCree you need to tap the heads, for Mei and Hanzo you need prediction and to be able to headshot, for Pharah you need a better prediction due to slower projectile, but for Spamrat? He does too much damage IMO, and when he trows a bomb in a face feels unfair compared to an headshot.
Also 600 damage for the ultimate is too much, because you get chased by the tire without much possibilities, also destroying it is not always possible because the tire can appear suddently without being able to see it, instead with an High noon, a tactical visor, the D.va bomb, the Blizzard, the dragon, you have more chances to escape.
Also think this: i never played Spamrat, but one time i tried him and i was third in DM playing him.
Well that’s why I made this post, so blizzard hopefully sees it and gives a better look at him cuz it has been a really long time since any major nerf hit him, instead all they gave him were buffs and huge ones too. Even as a tracer it’s so risky to 1v1 him cuz u never know from where a bomb might come from and kill u lmao.
You know, Junkrat’s never exactly been my favorite opponent, but how in God’s name is “it has been a really long time since any major nerf hit him” a valid reason for nerfing any hero? That’s insanity. And he has had pretty solid nerfs, the mine fall-off and nade-size nerfs both had a large impact and made it drastically easier to deal with him.
I’ve always found Junkrat tilting, he counters some of my favorite heroes, he’s probably my least favorite DPS to fight so I get disliking him, but if you’re honestly struggling that much with him in this season…Gurl, you need to git gud.
Watch out for you surroudings better, if you’re getting hit by him in this patch and after his grenades nerf, its all on you.
And when did he set a meta? He was always situational and niche. Rather than some nerf, perhaps you should try to better?
That is what I also said, his grenade nerf was nothing at all, that reduction barely had an impact and what do u mean this season? It’s the same thing and he counters brig as well if u don’t get close to her for her shield bash.The argument is not even that I’m bad, the point is that there are no surroundings to watch, cuz a junk can get a high ground and even if u’re not in his line of sight, even if he doesn’t even know where u r , he can still kill u easily by just spamming bombs into the air. And as far as balancing is concerned, he got got a major buff that was the second explosive mine.
Seems like you just have poor gamesense.
It isn’t that hard to avoid Junkrat bombs.
Yeah and? His projectile hitbox IS SMALLER than the actual projectile. You can just as easily get a kill firing randomly into a fight as McCree or Mei or Soldier. But if it’s a Junkrat bomb that got you, you know one of the slowest moving, easiest to avoid projectiles in the game, man that spamrat’s got no skill!
How even??? Do u listen to urself rn??? As a Mei or mcree or soldier, u can get random hits but they’re not as lethal as junks, junk’s bombs scatter all over the place and u don’t even need to be in the fight to land them cuz as I said, he’s great at area control so u can just spam them in the air and get a triple kill and obviously if I see the bombs infront of me, I’ll avoid them, that’s not the issue here, the issue is that most junks just spam them in random places, like into the sky and they land somewhere in front of u and kill u, and how are u supposed to not get in the way when u don’t even know where they’re coming from??? That is what I meant by zero skillcap
And Mei and McCree and Soldier’s and almost all other heroes’ bullets/projectiles move MUCH FASTER and are harder to avoid than Junkrat’s grenades. It’s much easier to get a body shot as a McCree than as a Junkrat, trust me. You can avoid the grenades by jumping over them or dodging side to side since they’re so slow and easy to see. The last thing Junkrat needs is a nerf.
Omg did u not read my post??? I feel like u’re a junk main, that’s why ur arguments are so poor, u’re just dead set on defending him. Yes they’re faster than his bombs but u still need aiming for Max dmg, junk on the other hand , as I’ve said a million times in this post, can spam them anywhere without risk cuz he doesn’t need to be in the fight, and kill a poor squishy and they won’t know from where they got hit cuz they’ll be somewhere far away from the team and still die, not in the junks LINE OF SIGHT or even when the junk doesn’t know where he/she is.
That’ll be mostly on you.
He was meant to deny area, and if you’re getting shelled by him, consider moving, or not staying in place too long. Or just maybe look up a little more so, I’ll even give you a tip.
Increase the volume settings so you can hear that distinct ticking sound his bombs has.
Edit: And what makes you think as Junkrat, we didn’t deal with spam as well? During Junkrat peak, Junkrat vs Junkrat duels isn’t unusual and we never complained about getting killed randomly.
If you get hit by a Junkrat nade, its entirely on yours.
Maybe also consider that he wasn’t doing it randomly but he was actually aiming for it, and in the higher levels, Junkrat can and will do that by bouncing in angles you don’t expect.
Here’s the problem though, aiming, kinda inconsistent with the smaller bomb size. As for “meta” the only place he’s meta is bronze and silver. Yeah spam is annoying. But it’s also flaky as all get out if you aren’t right there in the fight. Also how do you know he wasn’t aiming? Did you spend the entire game just watching him? Or are you just assuming he was spamming, cause he’s a Junkrat?
-see title-
-looks at Junkrat-
Yeah, that’s a good boy.
