He isn't really all that bad if your consistent with air shots aside that he only lost his one shot

[@NeverbeenLyle]

it's not a question of whether he's playable.. it's the question of if you're up to the challenge of playing him

[@tatooinenative860]

correct! its more difficult to secure kills now but he is still a joy to play

[@discretfallen8082]

I like your junk-main mentality ahahahahah

[@akionlizard]

Brother this is ow1 Bastion main mentality. ​@@discretfallen8082

[@TheMilkManSL]

The fact zbra and yeatle where just chilling on dps role in the same match is crazy to me, i only see them on tank

[@Shompipe]

I can feel the enemies' fear when they load into a game and see the all mighty Cheese 🐐

[@pickledpixel]

That Hammond was so funny "OHrr WaaAAoow!"

[@michaelthompson2363]

Bro is NOT Jeniffer Coolidge

[@aquawatchow]

Honest take right here: Junkrat should do critial damage/ headshot damage if he hits a shot in the air, So basically he can one shot if you mine someone and shot them in the air so its actually skillful, that's just my take though

[@SwolleRat]

Literally what I'm also saying, gives us high rank junks our airshots back but also doesn't promote spamrat. Win win scenario

[@dogwater5499]

I made a reddit post a while back saying the exact thing lol. I was wondering would this count if someone simply jumps though? Even if it did, he'd still be balanced

[@aquawatchow]

@@dogwater5499 I would count it as if the player gets booped / damaged with the concussion mine it adds Critical damage while they're in the air for Junkrat

[@dogwater5499]

@@aquawatchow that makes sense. So mine/primary fire would one shot. Sounds reasonable, I think a cool 275 health buff would be perfect

[@aquawatchow]

@@dogwater5499 And I would definitely buff Tire health damage and range because now everyone's health is bigger tire needs a buff atleast in the range of how far the explosion goes

[@Dobebavx0r]

I REMEMBER THAT GIBRALTAR GAME LOL. Zbra left voice as soon as the tank said he'd save him lol 8:06

[@garonisataev4916]

Bro the wrecking ball guy sounded like a guy who was trying to imitate Peter Griffin voice

[@hey_angie]

it was a Jennifer coolidge impression xd

[@Whywhohow347]

As a junkrat lover, I'll play him and dig myself deeper into the void of despair, just to make some hitscan/flyer players seeth extra hard now that he's harder to secure a kill with. So it's a balance of either really good times or straight depression :D

[@apocalypseap]

As a junkrat lover... I uninstalled the game.

Thank you Via

[@Azal423]

Poor vulture is just having a mental breakdown right now. Soon enough he might become junkrat lol

[@SacrificialOW]

Junkrat just feels like a shit version of pharah rn

[@dogwater5499]

Right? Pharah could basically get the same value even if she didn't use her flight

[@domokuo6318]

​@@dogwater5499 Pharah is practically flightless rn because of how bad her flying is. She just sits on high ground so she's still better than junk.

[@Azal423]

@@domokuo6318with faster projectiles too.

[@patrickbravo5258]

The main difference is that i am dogshit at pharah

[@HelloInternet965]

You motivate me to keep playing Junkrat no matter how bad I am

[@magmarxiogaming6717]

he's definitely not hurting as much as rein is right now but he's definitely not in a good state right now, losing his only niche makes him incredibly hard to get value with and top that with phara just able to get what junk can do in a faster time it makes him really unnecessary to use, he can work but his skill ceiling is what's hurting him the most at the moment

[@TheJunkerOW]

Honestly, Junkrat needs a significant buff or adjustment to his ability kit! What I propose and think would be good for him was an increase in maximum mine damage (+10-20) or a health increase for the tire! (+25-50). Otherwise, he would need an adjustment to his projectiles, not forcing him to be a spam character!

[@jippyjip8366]

holy crap a tire health buff feels so necessary to me

[@pickledpixel]

@@jippyjip8366 Agreed. Far too easy to counter (and thats from ANY role)

[@spacekrill]

not being able to combo kill anymore is so depressing ._.

[@jamesbernadette6216]

They always escape with just a sliver of health. It's funny how Bliz first made it so it actually was more of a skillshot to double tap someone (reducing the conk expl radius) and then they just completely forgot to adjust his dmg when all the HP pools went up and now seem to not even remember he exists in the game -_-

[@jameswood9512]

I'm a pure Junkrat main and stick to quick play because I'm just looking to unwind. I played a lot in 2017 and only picked it back up last month where I've been playing daily for a few weeks at this point. Anyways your videos did genuinely get me interested in playing again and have been helpful for my play! (Not enough to brave competitive but still). Thank You!

Didn't know jennifer coolidge played ow2 😂

[@goldfishjohn4262]

I love hitting a beautiful double mine and soaring into the back line and then landing the “one shot combo” only to not kill jack shit get slept antied and shattered

[@apocalypseap]

You just have to be literally 5 times better than them. You have to predict everything they're going to do with high accuracy. You have to play with your team exclusively. You don't get to have fun as Junkrat anymore. You don't get to win 1v1s most of the time, so don't take them.

[@billtf2]

Another aqua classic

[@AquamarineOW]

Thank you Bill

[@freaze2048]

I love the fact that when hammond tried to save zbra and failed zbra left the voice channel

[@floofthebassplayer]

I see the league of Junkrat Connoisseurs showed up on this one. My turn to throw my bad takes in the ring! Junk has the consistency of a walnut, so the one shot was vaguely balanced as it required him to go "all in" on a target for kill security. He don't got that no more. So instead of bitching about the problem, here are some solutions: 1) Give him 130 on pipe - If this happens the balance team should REALLY keep a finger on the pulse for mine and be willing to change the damage/blast radius if he becomes a problem. Nobody wants season 6 again... 2) Make his pipes go faster - If the OW team REALLY doesn't want to go back to the one shot then making him more consistent in his primary would be helpful. 3) Tire at 125HP - I feel like this one can go with another one of these but I thought I'd throw it out there. Tire is easier to hit and I'd rather not just give it more damage as we'd just run back to the problem that caused the health change in the first place. I always felt that using tire was just 1/2 of Junkrat anyways in terms of health pool. 4) Rework trap to be able to ground targets - I've wanted this for years. It's a shit shot fever dream but I always thought that it would be interesting if trap did less damage but you could throw it and snare people with it.

[@AquamarineOW]

What do you all think of Junkrat this season? 💀

[@MrSoggyChips]

Na i cant play him anymore. I stopped yesterday

[@antimah4707]

Trash tier

[@malikryan808]

Junkrat is so terrible, he is easily the worst DPS hero in the game rn

[@StarCrow77Gaming]

He is the worst yet I still play him

[@acidqueenow637]

The most gut-wrenching, depression inducing, anger filling expirience of my life

[@stinkyartz3024]

my junk goat

[@tecksy5733]

He's back

[@dequaviousnippleton1914]

Junk this season is more of who is the best spammer.

[@lafond3653]

you play like a TAS, it's just so satisfying to watch

[@moathmad1538]

6:08 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@user-gf7jd9su5h]

OH WOW!

[@grumpysheep9680]

Though my rat is the worst dps, I still play him. I know too much about him and I still love the moments of making others switch because of midair shots.

[@_Dipstick_]

I can't get kills with the tire anymore cuz of the hp buffs

[@Holyman556]

Zbra and Yeatle in the same game playing dps?! That was pretty cool lol

[@chocothony]

I had forgotten how well you play, I think I'll play more calmly like you to get better, I've been playing a lot of crazy fucking lol, thanks.

[@jorgealdana3423]

2 months to see my bro cook

[@GamerEbs1143]

I know I'm late but a cool idea for a buff for his passive should be when ever you get a kill you drop the bombs he usually drops on death! Just an interesting idea that would make him a tiny bit more deadly.

[@justice-wjaw4072]

Junkrat doesnt hit the same without his oneshot. I hope the devs grant that back to him it just isnt the same

[@maxchess6734]

As a junk main, i'd rather take an other buff (like a 3rd mine) than getting the random oneshot that leaves the target 1HP half the time back.

[@TXT.666]

as a junk main it sucks but still winning feels even better

[@beru8966]

He’s thinking in 3d I can’t do that

[@kabibox7526]

oh wow

[@SirSpootDRG]

oh god oh wow another aquamarine upload oh wow

[@afkgaming6750]

I'd be fine with no one shot with the mine but I'd like to two shot with the grenades

[@volticsans]

ohhhr waooooor🗣️

[@jdawg7658]

Sometimes when I’m trying to go for a quick kill I do the same one shot junk has always had and melee right after and kills them similar to hog but i don’t know if it’s the best way to get kills with junk lol

[@Taegreth]

Oh wow

[@TOMMYCILY]

Needs 2 buff : 1) 150 hp to tire 2) bombs DMG 130 Needs also 1 Nerf so we can keep the fact that he doesnt 1 shot you Mine DMG 110 So you can kill someone with 2 bombs but you can't 1 shot combo someone. SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH IM A JUNK MAIN FROM ITALY XD

[@Blurr_Rat]

I wish I can have superpowers like u 😢

[@nicoboi301]

aqua too good

[@NotAstroRat]

I dont think it matters if hes good or not (hes bad though), they just made him a lot less fun as flanking is much more risky with way less reward.

[@Mass_Overwatch]

I have vs you in so many games in quick play and competitive

[@oSw1ftzz]

I love watching good junk players because they always do what would be considered feeding on other heroes and get 5ks

[@user-qn5jy8xx4w]

wow this pro junk

[@KidouKenshi22]

he's still A Tier man. Are ppl seriously complaining about the easiest and one of the strongest dps hero??? lmao

[@parkyercarcass]

the Hammond player doing a cross between a Rich Evans and a Jennifer Coollidge impression was something i didn't know i needed until now

[@mikpiotto]

ill hop on and play junk just to be reminded that the only value I can get is by spamming the choke. Hats off to anyone who can hit those double shot + mine combo

[@JustAnAvgJunkrat]

They gotta either buff mine to 2 shot and buff tire or just give him another movement ability on top of mine. They gotta do something he just feels horrible this season

[@user-ov7ci8tp8v]

They could give his primary FIVE more dmg and it would fix him🤧

[@octotea5927]

Ohw wooaw 🥺

[@Asraty]

No music ):

[@Cumwel]

Trying to fix junk rn it's very difficult, they should just make a soft rework

[@cpez7874]

CHEESE 🎉

[@8ooties]

Backpacked for first point

[@humantoon]

I got into this game solely because I loved Junkrat and his energy. I refuse to leave him and will main him no matter what so I can get better. If anyone has any tips, please lmk lol. I have trouble aiming with a gun and aiming in general. I understand how Junkrat’s bombs work so I hit more with them than I do with guns, but I can still use some work

[@JorGe_SuBrO]

The character is very fun, and if it is Junkrat's game mode it is more about attacking from afar than up close, get used to playing closer to the enemy from time to time and don't rush to use up ammunition quickly or you will look very weak if they stalk you I still try to improve with him, I still have a long way to go to achieve it

[@benja__.]

Bro that fried chicken guy was so annoying💀

[@thezooty6919]

I love you cheese

[@antimah4707]

When montage with good kid music?

[@tylerweber8214]

I will admit junk is bad this season but I still try to play him but as soon as I realize I need to swap a lot of the time I won’t 😂but only in dire straits lol 😅

[@wasnt_chris]

so what i’m getting is you have to have a phd in physics and be on computer to be good at junk got it

[@lekippi8959]

Te quiero mucho aquamarine

[@jamesbernadette6216]

Cool 3 wins :) now let's see those 8 losses.. ;)

I’m gonna sue you for « junkrat name copyright infringement » 😒 Great vid tho

Good shit

[@StarCrow77Gaming]

I'm a doomfist lucio main but I play junkrat and genji for dps I would say junkrat is so bad now I used to play him more then genji now I play genji more

[@TheOriginalStarwalker64]

The way I see this season, Junkrat hasnt changed much for the people who main/onetrick him. He's no longer an easy spam character and requires some skill to actually get value

[@ToxicDerg]

This Hammond lmfao are they ok?

[@TevaRev]

What a horrendous champion. Not being able to two shots supports and dps anymore feels so bad. They really did my boy dirty...

[@LandingMayhem]

Holy fuck 360 fps

[@RoyalSubjectsMusic]

No. Before even watching the video the answer is no.

[@chrisstephens3207]

damm, i thought this game died... OW1 > OW2

[@StarCrow77Gaming]

Hi Aqua you amazing

[@egorkorolev4190]

Im feeling bad for you you did an impossible task of manning junk at his worst and still ended up in 8 game losing streak.

[@actuallysalad4102]

Hes prolly dog shit but for some reason i been hard stuck gold and shit but I been getting 20-25 avg recent. But when i do bad i do awful under 10. Once again tho this is gold im DOGGY, but pharahs come down in this rank lol. Also HII AQUAAAAA!

[@pbgod1337]

Yeah idk man people like you and vulture make him seem viable, bit when I play its jover

[@Via_O.W]

[@maxchess6734]

He's viable... in M2 😂

[@blitzwing6512]

no

[@oniga001]

[@SkyLxrddd]

i hate the fact we get rewarded for spamming in this season and not going for flanking os combo (and probably dying) basically junk is a free kill now like PLEASE WE NEED 3 MINES or 10 more little damage buff

[@SkunkfapGaming]

see im very stubborn so im gonna keep playing him regardless of what state he's in
