They probably will address Widowmaker next season. Junkrat? Eh. No idea why they would bother with that.
because they created a hero that is impossible to challenge indoors, and have proceeded to make all new maps entirely chokes and door ways.
because having a hero that can lock down an entire lane without having to show their head is broken when you delete the role whose job it is to prevent that
because he was almost a 52% winrate…

He was one of the few heroes whose projectile size stayed the same at the time they did the projectile buffs.
He’s just really strong right now due to the health and armor changes which made other tank buster heroes weaker.

because they had already buffed his projectile size by 50%.

He’s also very easily countered by literally any hero with range: Widow, Hanzo, Soldier, Ashe, Sojourn, Pharah, Echo, not to mention tanks like Dva, Sigma, Mauga, Zarya.
Sounds like a skill issue to me.

LMAO until you play someone who isnt hardstuck plat and they actually know how to play angles
actually comical you dps crutches think the game just happens in a vaccum.
there is not a single dps that can contest a junk that is sitting in a doorway,

Junk, Pharah, Venture, Torb to a lesser degree (due to his health), Mei, and even Genji can do exactly what you claim no hero can do.
Junk is in a good place right now but he’s by no means overpowered. This complaint of yours seriously sounds like you need to do some self-reflection and not try to challenge a Junkrat in a doorway. Fight him on your terms rather than his - in other words, increase your skill and knowledge to be able to handle that situation more effectively.

Eh? That’s not a great idea. Just let Junkrat have his creepy little room unless a tank wants to push in there with you.

No I mean they just nerfed Junkrat by increasing his mine cooldown.

Well Pharah would need to do it from above, but the others are perfectly capable of it.
Not saying it’s the best idea, but they could. I did actually go on in the next sentence to say that it’s better to fight a Junk on your terms rather than his, and outside of the doorway.
They also recently reduced his projectile size after the first bounce, which is also a nerf that he didn’t really need (imo). But it makes hitting people off the bounce more skillful, and doesn’t straight take it away, so it’s fine.

AHAHAHAHAH
Tell me you’ve never touched Junkrat without telling me you’ve never touched Junkrat.
If you are struggling with Rat currently, it’s 100% a skill issue on your end.

Why wouldn’t people pick Widow… Many counters are kind of unpopular these days, so it’s free value. Just click on enemies. Also, if they try to counter you with another Widow, you still have a good chance to fight back.
Whats the issue with junkrat ?
I mean there is a ton of ways to counter him.
Unlike widow yes.
unfun character having outsized pickrate and winrate isnt a “skill issue”.
character is fundamentally broken in a game without off tanks. cry about it./
but not sure what i expected from someone who thinks lucio amp is to “make squishys harder to hit”

It’s hilarious you think this is true.
No he isn’t, get good.
Because that is one of it’s purposes: make yourself and allies harder to hit. Not it’s only one, but it’s one of them.
Up to when you typed this I was with you, but then go for complete exaggeration and you lost me. I believe they were both in a number of your games, but we are all playing the same game and know that Widow+Junk is not that common a combo.
Going for less hyperbole makes your point better. Add statements like that and people take it as a joke.
Now, Clash, that’s where Junk is really making games garbage. I do sometimes get Clash games without junk, but it’s a lot more common to have him in them and quite frequently on both teams. Both Clash maps have Point Cs that just make his spam annoying af to play against - free value for spamming.
