Nerf Junkrat 2021

Its a new year and I wanted to be just another name in the hat of nerfing junkrat.
Im a day one player, came back to the game and have had fun with it.

Junkrat ult, why can he ult from safety? Make him ride it?? Riding the tire would maybe give some more awareness to it, also making any junkrat near death able to be targeted/die instead of pop out of safety and continue his lazy spamming on whos left.

Why can his tire jump so high? Getting it up walls could be slowed down for more tire awareness? Seems like having a a rhine/sig/orisa/brig shield is useless against it because its not energy based. getting it into middle of crowds is not that hard.

Does he take any damage from his attacks, maybe giving him at least a tiny bit of self damage from his mine would give some cost to his ability to super jump into prime positions. Doesnt Pharah even take damage from her own blasts?

Every person Gold Silver or Bronze says the same thing about the char, hes super easy to play, his ult is op; and my favorite, “cool another junkrat potg -_-”

I dont see any of the dps have the potg consistency as much as he does.

If not nerf then something like im suggesting, but as the char list grows these things stand out.

Im moving for more tire awareness at the least.

Awareness??

The voice line is loud. The tire is loud.

If you are unable to work out were it is coming from, you need better headphones.

And it is destroyed fairly easily.

Or you just have a Bap and use immo field to negate it.

because suicide bombing is kinda offensive?

i don’t know my guy, basically they can’t make him worse because making a bad performing character worse is not what they do at blizz hq.
