Is it me or are the Junker duo a lot slower then the other characters

I know both of them are slow but when it comes to attacking and reloading all the other characters do those way faster the the junker duo.
Which in fact is unfair when they need to attack quickly but have to reload only to be killed or something like that.

Junkrat does 200 damage per second, Roadhog does up to 214 depending on range and how many pellets hit. Soldier: 76 only does a maximum of 180 damage per second. Junkrat and Soldier have the same reload speed, and Roadhog is slightly slower.

These numbers are configured precisely to balance how much damage each hero can do. They are not especially slow, and it is not “unfair”.

You want ‘slow’?

Try reloading as Orisa. zzZZzzzz. (I understand why it’s slow!)

or maybe Ashe.
That can be pretty frustrating from time to time.

Is there a graph or something which shows the reload time of each character? I think some of the reload times might feel long but in reality they are not.

on the overwatch wiki page there is actually an overview

actual soldier reloads way faster then junk, i play as junk a lot but even when i was playing soldier i notice the speed difference in the reloads.

I can assure you that they both take 1.5 seconds to reload, which is typical speed.
