Junkrat Tier Rating - C-tier

We rate Junkrat as a C-tier Damage hero in the current Overwatch 2 meta (among possible tiers of S, A, B, C, and D).

Junkrat is a niche pick at best in the current Overwatch 2 meta. He's perhaps viable for spamming certain choke points but has taken a hit now that he can no longer two-shot combo most damage Heroes and all Supports.

However, at the lowest ranks of Overwatch, he can be a lot better as you can deal massive damage to clumped-up enemies. Opponents at lower ranks also won't have the same ability to take him out from longer range.
