No need to type these long winded essays about why you dont like the rat. He’s been a D tier hero for 90% of his existence with the other 10% being C tier.
Cry me a river that a junk ACTIVELY stops playing the game for 20-30 secs, going on a flank or using double or triple mine jump once every 2 years to get a kill/clip on you.

Its the dps doom problem all over again. A character is actively stacking their abilities to setup a rollout/flank but the metal ranks awareness is far to low to even think for a second “wait… i haven’t seen doom/junk in a while where could they be…” and inevitably blame the borderline throw pick character rather than their ability to NOT let their brain go on auto-pilot and stand in one spot on the other side of the map!

Its ok for sombra and tracer to be characters that are consistently checking your awareness/ability to peel but if a junkrat does it its broken. when dps doom did it it was broken no matter how awful he was to have as a teammate majority of the time.
So lets make bets:
How long before they fix junk
do you think it will be in another hotfix patch or are we gonna have to wait one shot hog type years for a rework that barely moves the needle?!?!?!

what are you talking about lol, literally this whole forum is an echo chamber of Junkrat and sym being the hardest heroes.

Tracer, Genji, Sombra, Widow, Hanzo are all easy heroes.

Nope. Hanzo is the hardest hero. You can ONLY land hits if you spam. 100%

4

oh yeah, classic cases of folks complaining about “spamzo”, and when they turned him into an actual spamzo, those same folks celebrated

Which is why he should be reworked so this boring playstyle on both sides wouldn’t be mandatory to get value

It feels soooo good playing against him now, like yesterday he kept trying to do that stupid virtually instant 2 tap combo to me and my zen that combo you can’t really respond to, but it just feels sooo much better to play against that and not die to a bullcrap death…

Next they really need to fix Sojourn.

I hate junkrat. 20 characters.

Sojourn is fine. You just need to learn how to dodge the railgun…

/S

The mine/bomb combo was very infuriating alongside Doomfist one punch only because the counter play was non-existent for it.

If Sombra hacks and start shooting you, you have some chance of responding back.

If Tracer zips around you, you have some chance of responding back.

Every hero allows for some type of response even when it’s a for sure death sentence coming.

Junkrat however, did not. He would come around the corner and just blow you up instantly. No reaction to the combo was fast enough.

So kindly, leave him in the dumpster. The whole point of him being indirectly nerfed by the new patch is to scale back power anyways.
