Will PTR Have a JUNKRAT Fix?

Will Junkrats collision be fixed?
Has it been at least in testing to be fixed?
There have been numerous threads on this , some quite sizeable and no one has even come by to acknowledge there was even a problem.

Many would posit the argument that Reverting his collision changes and upping his ult req by 30% would have handled the original problem.

Thanks.

Probably not. Maybe. Kinda depends if they consider him part of the solution to a bunch of tanks and clustered up in a ball.

Someone needs to address Alexis threads

They’re too busy drowning in the sea of D.va, Brigg and le-gasp-soldier’s-gay tears threads. Gotta wait a couple of weeks for the forums to settle. Junkrat threads are just buried (as usual, but worse now)

Yes to further derail GOATS, Junkrat will be given seeker bear traps that chatter after enemies and be able to throw 10 down at a time.

Orisa’s halt will be modified to have two modes, one being pull and the other a tentacle whip that strangles everyone in range and destroys deployables.

Pharah will be able to fly so high she’s the size of a pixel to everyone below and given a scope and hitscan rockets.

Widow’s ult will not only grant wallhacks it will allow her to fire through everything. Players, Shields, Walls you name it she can shoot through it, and kill anything with bodyshots.

Hanzo will get a horn on his head to control a yondu like arrow. No cooldown, it’s just infinite duration until a genji is killed at which time he will put down his bow and delete himself all together.

Tracer will be given a new ability that makes her out of phase allowing bullets to pass right through her without damage and an additional ability to latch on to anyones head and unload 2 clips worth of ammo in less than 0.1s.

and

Ana will be given an instakill ability on slept units when wearing the Snow Owl skin. Upon reaching a slept enemy she’ll be able to unsheath her knife and severe their heads.

Junkrat is not addressed in this PTR build, we’ve got another Reaper buff, another Brig nerf (2 actually) and a D.Va nerf.

The “cool little surprise” is supposedly S76 being gay, which is only not cool because this small story addition should really not be hinted at as a surprise by the lead developer, there is a story team to do this. I was hoping for an OWL S2 update to live though :frowning:

Ps: probably the better idea would be to see to other heroes as well, because both Brig and Reaper were in the last 2 patch notes, but nothing sensible has been done to any other heroes.

Look, buff Junkrat is true way of balancing games.

GOATS? Junkrat is a tank buster who do not give a crap about armor. Why is he not a must pick in this most ideal meta for him?

He sucks that is why. You cannot claim tanks are OP if you nerf all anti tank dps. Yes, that includes Doomfist. We need him back.

The last nerf of Junkrat was a mistake. It was meant to nerf unskilled spam not nerf as a whole. If you want him to be aim based, give him projectile speed to actually aim.

Look at Hanzo. He used to have log arrow like Junkrat. When it was nerfed he was a throw pick even in GM. Because slow and tiny projectile is impossible to aim even with good skill, people just dodge it.

Now with proper projectile speed Hanzo is definitely a high skill character, and a viable pick. He is the role model of Junkrat rebalance. Blizzard has done it. We just need them do it again.
