Top500 Junkrat main explains in extreme detail why he needs buffs

New PTR notes.

I want to tear my hair out, because it’s so unfair.

Edit: Good thing is, knockback towards flying heroes seems more consistent. So knocking Dva up would be better now.

On the bright side, Baptist has a healing grenade launcher. So We’ve got a new outlet now for that GL fix.

It’s alternate fire though, and his hitscan is a bit too good not to use.

This is outrageous.
Developers buffed around half the roster and Junkrat gets another nerf by soldier being able to target rip tire…
Who will play Junkrat and actually expect to win now ?!?!
SO CLOSE to uninstalling now

This whole time its not been Players that were throwing matches, Its blizzard decisions of balance that decides who gets to win Ranked

At the current state of the game, even if we lets say reverted primary fire nerf he’ll be still too weak , with mines without falloff, maybe he gets to kill someone sometime

Immortality field - great for mitigating junkrat’s rip-tire

Yup. Junkrat is officially retired now. Baptiste can negate his entire ultimate with his shift, and Soldier can no-skill counter-ult him almost 100% of the time.

Granted, immortality field can negate any ultimate…

Why in hell they gave any hero an imortality field is truely and unequivetoly beyond me.

Junkrat will not be seen in anywhere beyond Bronze and Silver now. Why would anyone pick him if they can choose someone who has better everything.

Time for another game i guess.
Can’t stand the game where are 30 heroes and 10of them are the holy Chosen ones (favourites) which are designed to win while rest sits in dust pushed away by developers with nerfs only

TBF, Bastite ult also makes Junkrat able to crap out 480 damage if he used his nade+mine combo.

That’s some serious damage potential.

Which will likely be negated by the enemy teams Batiste. Making junkrat, once again, a joke.

Not really, 480 in destroying the drone immediately? I think it’s worth, and each shot makes Junkrat does 240 damage as well.

Uh huh, so, lets think here, two junkrats, and two batistes… why have two junkrats when he’ll only be good behind batiste under those specific circumstances?

You’re gonna be a lot more clearer in your words, cause I do not understand a lick of it.

Junkrat in a Goats comp because… lets face it, Batiste is Goats centric, both side choose Junkrat and Batiste… who wins? or, why go Junkrat when they can go Pharah? or , Bastion if its going to be a stationary position? See the problem? Junkrat would only be useful behind Batiste, and only in those situations, and only from a vantage where he can fire through a wall limiting his effective range and angle of attack depending on his position.

They like characters who can pull off and solo , junkrat isn’t going to be that character. They’d rather have characters that already fit inside a goats comp who all benefit from batiste, or, without him, still contribute to goats.
