Moved from Minor to Major Perk. Eliminations with Concussion Mine restore one charge.
Moved from Major to Minor Perk. Attack speed bonus reduced from 35% to 25%.
Projectile speed increase reduced from 40% to 25%. No longer reduces ammo capacity.
Projectile speed increased from 25 to 30.
Developer comment: The travel speed of Junkrat's grenades is limiting, especially with the overall increase in hero mobility. Increasing projectile speed without altering the arc should improve consistency while preserving weapon feel.
New Minor Perk. Killing blows with Concussion Mine restore one charge.
New Major Perk. After launching with Concussion Mine, Junkrat gains 35% increased attack speed for 3 seconds.
Removed.
Removed.
Now prevents trapped enemies from being healed instead of revealing them through walls.
Concussion Mine arming time reduced from 0.5 to 0.25 seconds.
Now also reveals trapped enemies to allies.
Description changed: Concussive Mine strengthens .5 seconds after landing, increasing damage by 50%, explosion radius by 50%, and health by 200%.
During RIP-Tire, use Ability 1 to gain a quick boost of speed. Doing so reduces RIP-Tire's damage by 50%.
Frag Launcher's projectile speed is increased by 40%, but its max ammo is reduced by 1.
Steel Trap's throw range is increased by 50%.
Concussive Mine arms .5 seconds after landing, increasing damage by 50%, explosion radius by 50%, and health by 200%.
Cooldown increased from 7 to 8 seconds.
Developer comment: We're increasing the cooldown on Concussion Mine to reduce the frequency of both Junkrat's mobility and burst damage combo.
Projectile size is now reduced by half after the second ricochet. Projectiles preserve slightly more velocity on ricochet.
Developer comment: This is mostly a reversion back to how Junkrat's grenades used to ricochet in early Overwatch, which enables more control over the angle of the bounce and helps the weapon better control spaces with some tricky shots.
Impact damage increased from 40 to 45 (Total damage increased from 120 to 125).
Developer comment: Junkrat's weapon has great damage output but is unreliable outside of close range due to its slow projectile speed, which is an intended drawback to its high output. The Season 9 health changes affected Junkrat more than most other heroes since it now requires one more shot to secure an elimination.
Cooldown decreased from 8 to 7 seconds. Maximum damage increased from 110 to 120. Minimum damage increased from 20 to 55.
Base projectile size reduced from 0.25 to 0.2 meters.
Health increased from 200 to 250.
Maximum damage increased from 100 to 110.
Developer comment: The previous adjustment to Concussion Mine's maximum damage lowered the effectiveness of Junkrat's grenade and mine combos too much so we are increasing the damage amount slightly.
Maximum damage reduced from 120 to 100.
Developer comment: As the Concussion Mine already has damage falloff the further from the explosion the enemy player is, lowering the maximum damage will require Junkrat to be slightly more accurate to achieve the same lethality with some of his combos.
Arming time increased from .5 to .75 seconds. Trapped duration reduced from 3 to 2.5 seconds.
Fully locks movement again. Projectile speed increased from 10 to 15.
Projectile size increased from 0.2 to 0.25.
No longer prevents all movement for its target. Now slows its target by 65% until they reach its max chain length, then it breaks. Still prevents movement abilities from being activated. Damage increased from 80 to 100. Projectile speed increased from 10 to 17.
