I’m a junkrat main and I’m sick of bad players getting easy value out of him. Get rid of this skill floor-lowering buff and give him something that isn’t lazy AF and requires more skill.

i second its removal, nearly every match now its a junkrat, while i domt mind those that play him well, its just spam fire now, and if there is no junkrat in your match just wait until one side feels the stres of defeat and without fail one will swap to him and just braindead spam…

I suppose the devs could always lower the splash damage, or splash radius. That would lower the value of spamming a little as the shots would be easier to dodge.

I haven’t seen Junks really get easy value out so far, and I’ve only played QP since the patch where you’d think easy value would be on full display.
This guy on my team is the “best” Junk I’ve seen so far and he wasn’t exactly killing it. No offense to Mr. CrazyPanda. If you’re reading this, no hard feelings. We won even though their Tracer/S76 was tough to deal with.

Gold player here, been sick of this since ow1 XD
Especially when Pharah can’t 2-tap anymore and has self-damage.

Ngl this is true… even in gold 
I don’t like junk or venture being mega deadly at close range, feels like there’s very little one can do if they manage to close the distance, but even in my gold games junk has been struggling lately…

Sounds like you haven’t had my Junkrat on your team then.
So….you don’t want newbie to gain high kill rate as you do huh? Why don’t just make a diff that base on character specialize that gain through experience? Something like RIP tyre that circulate around behind wall to confuse enemy before surprise kill several of them instead of run right in front of enemy to get destroy. Something like hide behind wall then throw trap right at enemy then bomb again for instant kill instead of just lay trap in open space waiting for enemy to spot it and destroy trap.
They should literally just copy demo from TF2
Doesn’t matter what it is, every time Junkrat gets something somebody is going to whine about it.

For sure this happened, Junk is difficult to play against semi-competent hitscan players.
I don’t fear a Pharah nearly as much as an enemy team with 2 hitscan DPS that know how to use range. If they both focus on sending you back to the spawn room and your tank ignores the enemy DPS in favor of dueling the other tank it’s Junkover.
The good thing is, my DPS rank is so suppressed by trying to make Junk work that I can just go Cass and diff most plat hitscan players.
Exactly as predicted months ago.
And so we’ve reached the point of metal ranks starting to notice how annoying he is…Hope you’re all ready for the next round of buffs when this fails to meaningfully move his winrate in higher ranks.

Something that has a “low skill floor” should be easy for you to big-brain outplay, shouldn’t it?
Maybe the other Junkrats are just better than you.
