The Overwatch 2 Community’s Venting Session on Junkrat

The Overwatch 2 community on Reddit vented their frustrations regarding the frustrating tools that Junkrat has at his disposal and the aggravating features of playing against him.  A video clip from one of the user’s games was uploaded to the Overwatch subreddit by RyumonHozukimaru25. The post’s title on Reddit is as follows: “I’m a support main playing tank. This should give you an idea of how much I wouldn’t say I like Junkrat.

In the clip, we observe the user using Orisa’s Javelin Spin and Energy Javelin combo, followed by a basic attack to eliminate an opposing Junkrat who is attempting to push the payload. The post received many upvotes and developed into a forum where players could vent their annoyance with Junkrat’s appearance and the role he plays in Overwatch 2.

Players of Overwatch 2 have called Junkrat “just annoying” due to his playstyle

In addition, most players present for the debate under the post voiced contempt or displeasure about Junkrat. “Those of you saying that dealing with Junkrat is simple are completely missing the point,” you say. It’s not that he’s an unstoppable force to be reckoned with in the game. Also, one commenter said, “He’s just annoying; that’s all there is to it.” “An annoying character who can easily two-tap and has an ultimate ability that guarantees a kill, usually on a support, is something that people hate,” as the phrase goes.

Another person provided some less constructive criticism, but the fact that they received support for the comment tells much about the community’s opinion regarding Junkrat. “Junkrat is so no skill it’s wild. I despise random number generator heroes like Hanzo and Junkrat because they can spam chokes and yet get ‘excellent picks.’ This is so very frustrating. “Please clear out the clutter,” the user added.

It is not the first time that the community has called out a character that they found obnoxious; earlier this year, players of Overwatch 2 called for the removal of the OG Hero that everyone “hates.” This is not the first time the community has called out a character that they find annoying. It is challenging to speculate what the future will hold for Junkrat and the rest of the hero roster in Overwatch 2.
