Why is Junkrat getting hate?

Just want to know. They look very easily counterable when I play against them.

Because he has the lowest skill requirement of any hero, has one of the most powerful ults in the game, and gets top DPS just spamming.

Because he’s really frustrating for the bottom half of the ELOs.

I’m fine if they make him less annoying as long as he isn’t weak.

Inb4 he just had a really high win rate.

Bronze player problems. Junkrat is easy to play against.

Why?

Because it mainly the in your face, close encounter, players who keep dying by his passive

Or

Because they hate his damage for not ā€œaimingā€ and getting good kills or what ever.

That really all it is. Nobody wants to watch the sky and in front (or behind) during a match. And rather hate and demand nerf/rework to a hero who is doing them wrong instead of improving themselves

He really is an easy hero to play but a very easy counter hero if you know what he lacks and can’t do. But nobody, not even the vets want to change there play when it comes to main

Low effort high reward hero that specializes in spam and cheesy kills.

I add the disclaimer that this is in lower ranks before people can consistently land shots, in higher ranks he falls off quite a bit and has to play smart to get kills. Especially after his mine nerfs.

Low skill, lots of spamming, random kills, insta death when right up in their face.

Throughout most of this game’s life cycle Junkrat’s gotten hate because he doesn’t kill you so much as you donate your body to him with more often than not phenomenally poor choices/positioning.

Kinda similar to how Hook was.

I’m not allowed to say in a way that I want to :unamused: but I’m getting really fed up with Blizzard coddling players.

The people who keep calling him ā€˜braindead’ and ā€˜no skill’ really oughta think that through and check a mirror.

Bad players. That’s why.

Whenever people complain about niche heroes like Junk, the answer is always bad players.

It’s the same people who complain about heroes like Sym, Hanzo, Torb etc.

no jester hes known op the so called slowdown on his riptire didnt even work and the other refcent thing they done doesnt even work either

Anytime non-hitscan can compete even a little at higher ELOs, there is immediate hate against them.
