Lmao thank the lord he is dying. The most tilting character beside prolly pharah. Like his whole character was designed to tilt the enemy. The voice omggg.
This won’t effect Junkrat as much as you think
Well at least good Junkrats that is
And that might be the actual case, god knows they dumped a ton of money in that pit, and honestly I don’t feel it was worth it, but who knows.
imo he’s in a good spot right now, they didn’t need to do what they are doing to him.

And like I said before, I don’t mind them nerfing his launcher, but I thought they would lower is actual damage, so he could still area deny, this is a bit crazy, and makes me think they don’t even know what they want Junkrat to be doing.

What a constructive argument, surely you will will win over the masses with your plight of bad positioning.
Saddle in bud, what old Junkrat was doing, is now the domain of the new Hanzo.

he can turn a choke into instant death with a single clip atm he needs to die
I don’t think they nerfed I’m because people complained. O think they are trying to get rid of him and his spam so tanks have a place again, like Reinhardt. Everyone knows rein died out when junk was buffed and became king of spam.
I think they are listening to the pleas of rein mains not and tank mains to make rein viable again and have a place.
I just don’t think they’re ready to give rein a passive that everyone’s wants
News flash, that was by design. You go into a choke where damage is without a shield, you are expected to die. Tell me, where is the pity I am supposed to feel for the player that does not learn this?

but the shield instantly breaks yeah that is not design working that is abuse of broken mechanics
See, I don’t disagree with that. But the question remains, well then what is Junk’s role? Because he can still burst shield, so I don’t see how this gonna really help Rein because there is nothing Rein can do about it, where Orisa can just keep laying down shields.
But say this does help tanks, ok, but then if Junk is no longer about area denial, then what is his role. Blizzard seem to be changing a bunch of heroes, and it seems like Junkrat is gonna need a remake for him to make sense at all. His kit is all over the place in terms of what he should be doing, is he area denial with his main attack, ambush with his mines and trap, flanker with all of his mobility.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Junkrat, but I love him enough to know his kit is very inconsistent.

Tbh I don’t think its broken, his bomb just bounce a bit to much and makes to seem he’s spamming a lot of damage at once when he stops not it just takes a long time for the to explode.
And his bombs do the same base 120 damage no matter how far they go so shielding isn’t hard.
I think it just needs tweaking not the size because now it’s harder to kill and they’re promoting the spam mentality because you can’t hit a person easily

thus making him the biggest cheese hero in game
How? You’re not really presenting an argument, you’re just laying out your opinion. If you want to explain why Junkrat being able to kill tanks is toxic for the game, fine, because Blizzard is already nerfing that, but calling him cheese for doing the very thing he is designed for is a bit silly.
So please explore your reasoning a bit, so I can take you seriously.

because his original design was not a tank killer but an area denier/anti flanker now he’s the face melter spam king of low hanging fruit

I don’t really know, I’ve only played junkrat to a minimum because I’m really bad.
When I do I go for the stands far back and shoot into the air and hope it melts a squishie or shield.
I’m not saying that’s bad because different hero different play styles but I understand that his rework ole does eem a bit more iced as his kit had multiple uses that domt really fit together other than well being part of junkrat.
His kit does contradict itself a little bit with the trap and mine but that she it’s. I think he said turned away from area denial to Moreno of a damage spam assassins type who lovesick being in the fight and grouped Up to get that juicy damages

I would argue that it was, and you can’t prove that was not the case, especially with a 120 damage projectile and a 5 magazine clip.
And how his damage any more low hanging fruit than a Bastion, which does the exact same thing to low tier players, if you don’t know how to negate him, he mops up, same thing with a Pharah, Genji, Tracer, etc. Why does this one hero suddenly break rules, I argue that he does not, and I demand if you are gonna lead with such a silly premise you show me some concrete evidence for that
Yes, he is area denial face melter. But that’s in a choke environment, how many maps are 100 percent choke? None.
You can counter-pick Junkrat easy, he has a ton of hard and soft counters.

bastion can’t move, lacks splash unless during ul,t and has a stupid low play rate to the point you barely see it, she requires the team to build around him.
