Why is junkrat short?

He is 6 foot 5 inches, yet character model wise he does not tower other heroes.

Is it because he crabwalks, due to his prosthetic pirate leg?

His character model shows him kinda hunched over, bent knees, and never really standing up straight. Probably hurt his knees and back jumping so high in the air with the aid of explosives.

its just because he’ hunched over all the time. if you use an emote where he stands up (like his juggling emote) you’ll see how tall he is.

He’s hunched over all the time. The weight of the tire on his back probably doesn’t help either.

Woah, he’s 6’5? That’s terrifying. I imagined him being like 5’2 and Roadhog being the tall one. Just imagine how tall Roadhog is…

He’s got a peg leg and a heavy tire, cut the poor guy some slack. It’s no wonder his posture is terrible.

possibly some sort of bone cancer due to extended exposure to radiation.

well jeez thats depressing

live in a destroyed omnium that had radioactive power core as it original power source. Expect cancers of all types and other effects. Hell im starting to wonder about births in Junker town, thinking about things a little more seriously.

Bad posture do to poor nutrition and lack of formalized education because of his childhood?

Need more lore. hopefully in 2020 they start releasing comics. yes 2020

I believe roadhog is 7’1" , just an inch or two below Reinhardt, who is also terrifyingly tall

bad posture, people have posted models of him t-posing and he’s like 6’5 iirc

i guess the hunched over posture is to make him not as easy to hit and it makes him look more feral and crazy, which fits with his character well tbh.

That and theres a flipping motor in that tire, and those things are heavy
His back is probably messed up beyond belief from carting around something like that

canonically, Roadhog is 7’1.

Pay attention.

He’s hunched over. Have him do the Juggling emote near another hero. You’ll see how tall he really is.
