I never saw someone complain about the grenade size it was always the ult charge and riptire who was talked about. For me these nerfs are very wierd. I wanna see ult charge reduction as a nerf to him

It went from 14 to 13 speed, which is still MUCH faster than before the buffs.
And half the characters canāt counter it anyway, those guys are just dead.
can junkrat counter soldier or maccree or machinegun hanzo or widow or orisa or zen or phara etc. ?
no
so does his ultā¦ they can eaisly kill it

It actually went from 13 to 12 and that is very noticeable.
Due to the lower speed it canāt jump or reach as high as before, making it very easy to kill, unless you come from a top surprise angle.

Thatās definitely not true.
And as I said, even if you come from a very obvious angle, many heroes actually canāt do anything.
They listened to Lucio so yeah. Just because they hear you doesnāt mean they have to do what you want.

What happened to him exactly?
33% size reduction to his balls. His projectile size is the same size as everyone else now.
Yeah, I agree Genjiās ānerfā really is non-existent. Meanwhile, Junkrat is getting sent back to Meme Tier after being brought up to a good spot.

Hmmm. I thought that was already applied earlier.
Iāve delt with projectile size decreases before, most notably a weapon I enjoyed using in another, simpler FPS that had a size decrease about a month ago.
And yeah, it sucks. Adjusting to it can be a slow and awkward process for some and even then youāll notice the affects as people dodge shots that wouldāve otherwise connected.
But it not as big of a deal, or at least not as much as some people make it out to be. A bit of practice is all it takes to begin using it to near full potential again. And hey, at least they didnāt nerf the damage of the grenades, right?
nerf him again boys!
I mean, the nerf didnāt fix the spam. It just made it harder to aim with him.
Blizzard really needs to listen to the people who play them for feedback

The unfightable close range boy ( in most casese shift RM 2 times no need skill and kill all except for tanks) dat hit for 120 with a single bomb. U are lucky dat they just nerf the bombs range, trust me.
There is no such thing as a free kill. If you arenāt paying attention and get killed itās your fault.

Not all genji mains?
To your point, just ādyingā is not the issue, itās the fact he plain out DPSās most if not all DPS characters while not having to aim nearly as well. So, we have a small nerf designed to address that problem, partly because even the Pros were saying he was a bit too good. Iām sure a McCree facing down a guy throwing as much spam out as he can has a point about ābalanceāā¦
i would like to remind you that junkrat is not hitscan - if you want him to be comparable with other heroes, than either make widow, cree, etc. projectiles travel 2 seconds (and not in straight line)
or change JR frags to travel very fast in straight line

The pros issue was how fast he gets his ult, thatās it.
On paper, he may out-dps everyone in terms of burst damage but bear in mind he has the second slowest projectile speed in the game.
The grenade size hitbox is quite substantial, and a unnecessary one just so long Blizz decided to up his ult requirements rather than nerfing the one consistent thing he had.

I donāt think you can say āon paperā when he routinely gets medals for most damage done, and I refuse to believe every JR main is ājust uberā as they want to think. Iāll buy the Ult charge as a point, but youāre in denial as many are about Brigās over-effectiveness if you donāt think thereās been a concern there. He was too weak, he got buffed (as Blizz will do with Sym) to being too good, then work it back from there. I suspect he is now with the current lineup ājust about rightā.
