Title says it all. Maybe not below diamond where you can just spam agains predictable players but as a gm dps I would simply never go near him because he is too hard for me to play; if you miss anything you get punished, he has a pretty big hit box and his only way of escaping is his mines, which he also needs to confirm kills a lot of the time. He’s also useless at long range so he often has to overextend, and if he can’t confirm kills, he dies

    My original account is basically a junk one truck account, I was just not a gamer before playing ow1 and junk was fun, I could get value standing behind but to get his best value you do have to learn the game and how to maneuver in it with junk. His aim is weird and his shots powerful, if you master that crippling aspect he’s pure dominance. He gets shit because of just how difficult being consistent with him is.

    No, I disagree.

    He is easy to play, hard to master.

    Any person can use him and just spam shots and do relatively well. But to do exceptionally well with him it does take some skill.

    In general most heroes who are “easy” horseshoe back around into being hard once you make it to higher ranks. It’s easy to spam down a choke as junk but it’s really hard to get consistent with directs which you HAVE to be able to do for high elo.

    Not until gm1, until then the combo to insta kill squishys will carry you there as long as the enemy doesn’t actively counter you or you get bad map rotation

    Imo jankrat is top 5 highest skill ceiling hero in the game having to lead your grenades in both traveltime and travel arc is very hard to land accurately

    Managing the cooldown of your mine incase you need to chase down a target or make a quick escape and launching yourself properly

    The tire has very high value but only if you use it properly too many times have a seen a junkrat use thier ult in the open and send the tire straight into the front like and end up dying because your a sitting duck
