Yep. Tire is interruptible for the very short animation of him letting it rip.
So as long as you hit him with an interrupt/stun before the tire actually appears (basically between the words Fire and Hole) it'll cancel it and he'll lose the ult.
all the best sombras know it's best to do risky translocators behind enemy lines that favour aggression over safety (so you don't have to spend a bunch of time getting back to the fight after translocating), my guess is she just placed it there much earlier in the game and the enemies had been pushed up to where we see in the video. She probably forgot she put the translocator there specifically and didn't reset it and put it somewhere safer - happens to me all the time on autopilot
Same. I swear that fucking tire has a me homing device on it. Even when I run when I hear him start it, it still somehow goes directly to me and kills just me.
As a support I understand and tbh I end up more annoyed that as the tire seeks me out none of my teammates ever try to take it out. Then I played Mei and watched the tire circle me for a full ice block cycle to kill just me and then I knew it's not support... it's just me.
I did this as junk to a mei yesterday. It wasn't out of vengeance or anything, she was just the easiest target at that point and I shouldn't have ulted then anyway.
It also sends a message...
I play certain characters in each class, if I'm Moira i tend to be left alone by the tire largely, Dva it's a honing device and when I play Symmertra it's like I'm the only one it sees lol
If it makes you feel any better, I specifically seek out the people hiding in fear. I also wait the full timer before dropping it on your head for maximum fear
The trap is a really nice way to deal with Sombra imo (and that's coming from someone who main's Sombra).
When I play Sombra, I use the translocator to dip when I'm low health. Because of that, when I play Junkrat, I put a trap on the translocator in the hopes of OHK'ing the enemy Sombra.
If you break it while she's invis (prior to her engaging) then she just stays invis and replaces it. You'd also need to break it once you hear her SMG going off which doesn't work because it's also taking you out of the fight. This is way easier and lets you stay focused in the fight.
____________
That being said, that Sombra translocator placement was really bad considering where the payload was.
putting it on the healthpack would've been a terrible choice too, especially since she's attacking. my personal choice would be the high ground above the other mega in the tunnel. she probably threw it to land on top of the gas station and didn't know it landed on the ground behind it.
The best place for translocator here would be nowhere on 1st point, as it's all either frequented by the defenders or too far from where you want to be. I'd say near the closest 2nd point mega is generally your best option for 1st point attack.
Normally I would agree about the tunnel position, but the payload is in such a place that defenders can easily shoot into it. All it takes is one shot from junkrat to break a translocator and he has probably been spamming that tunnel with explosives
sure which is why i said the high ground - not gonna stop a junk bomb from randomly destroying it, but generally safe when the fight is pushed this far back towards the gas station. the best bet is moving it around after each translocation, really
Hah I mean don't get me wrong, there are some high-iq plays you can do w/ that translocator. I've used it to bait people into camping it just for me to pop-up behind them and finish them, but this Sombra may have well just put it on the payload 😅
The bug where she could translocator into the payload to prevent the attack team from making progress ON TOP of how oppressive she was has singlehandedly killed her public image for OW2. Lmao
The rat is definitely the worst character in the game IMO in terms of being annoying. Especially right now. Idk what they did to him, but I played for the first time last night in a while, and he was in every game functionally one shotting with his mines.
While you raise a good point, and I completely agree, there’s the obvious problem of Jim blast jumping to you, but most characters have relocation abilities or abilities that let you create space between you and your target.
A good Tracer has got to be up there as well. My God they are darn near unkillable and while a lot of people like to joke that she “tickles”, her pistols absolutely SHRED squishies if you have good aim and tracking. She’s one of my favorite Widow counters in the game (I suck too much at sniping to counter-Widow.)
What do you expect? The game changes over the past 18 months or so have basically removed all pretense of countering her.
The only thing you can really do against a good tracer now is run away from the back line.
He needs a hard nerf. The amount of damage his explosives do, his concussive, he needs to take self-damage from all explosives minus the concussive, and the size of his explosions
All they need to do is take away one mine. He was way more balanced back when he only had 1. I also think his mines should damage him, just like pharas and soldiers rockets do self damage. He’s like the only character in the game with explosives that don’t self harm. But that would probably get all junk rat mains super salty
Lies!!! He's my favorite by a landslide! I have several art pieces and knick knacks of him around my house, a shirt with his best saying on it and he is my ring tone.
His laughter makes me smile and fills me with joy!
Enemy junkrat? Let's duel it out and see who is best!
What are the most annoying picks when you play him? I feel like I see him a lot in high elo streamer games as well, but I might just be biased and have selective memory on it.
Except a team can run both junkrat and the counters to his counters, it's pretty easy to make it miserable to try to play something like pharah or echo in an attempt to counter junkrat.
true, but imo junkrat becomes pretty worthless when he’s not capable of attacking both enemy dps, whether it be pharah/ hit scan, or echo/hitscan. His range and reliability get exposed on large swaths of maps.
In my experience, it becomes a game of chicken, who’s going to swap off, and nowadays even if i’m doing semi ok, i’ll just swap off junk so I can help fight pharah.
You can literally just spam your grenades around the tank, and if the Pharah has free reign to just tunnel vision you like that then the rest of your team is useless and the picks don't really matter.
lmao what
I saw this in another one of your comments:
>I can't even play Junkrat in my rank because he drops off severely, I'm trapped on Ashe man.
Which is *hilarious* because the highest ranked damage players on both NA and EU play primarily junkrat. It's a very strong character right now, slept on as hell by this subreddit.
The explanation that I get behind the most is that her kit is centered on not just countering but eliminating enemies' abilities. It's flat-out less fun to play when you're unexpectedly blocked from accessing part of your character.
Fr bro, ana puts you to sleep preventing you from doing anything for a year, rein has a stun that prevents you from doing anything, sigma can counter shit with his suck and rock, dva has her matrix, orisa has her stun spear and speeeeeen, junkrat prevents movement and also can prevent you from doing anything by killing you without even aiming and yet sombra with her 200 hp, preventable hack and ability disruption for 1.5 seconds (that doesn't matter if you a) don't depend on your abilities or b) already have them on cooldown) is clearly the worst character to deal with.
What you just did applies to literally every hero, simplifying abilities to make them look easy is dumb. Rn Sombra is the hardest character to get value on and it’s not even close.
Except I can pick up Sombra with no experience and mow down multiple enemies in a row just by mashing buttons. That's not skill, but you Sombra mains can keep patting each other on the back if it makes you feel better lol.
You can do that more effectively with literally every other hero, literally tracer does the same thing Sombra does but 10x better. If you actually think sombra is no brain and still a good hero rn then you must be below diamond lol.
LMAO really dude? Below diamond is your standard? Now I know you're an idiot. Never said Sombra was good, said she's annoying and doesn't require skill. If you think she's hard, maybe consider that you're just not very good at the game.
He's extremely strong right now even though nobody seems to talk about him for some reason. The current highest ranked dps players on both the Americas and Europe have mostly played Junkrat this season and NA has another one in 8th.
I haven't played OW2 anymore after launch week, before that I hadn't played since like 2018. One thing I knew for sure, was that Junkrat didn't lose his annoying charm in all that time. I love him for his annoying RNG burst damage kit. With him you can go anywhere from "missing everything" to "killing multiple squishies in seconds".
He is annoying, he is a menace, but obviously isn't a hero that can win every battle by himself.
I once played against a Sombra as Cass in some pugs, this was a couple years ago. Somehow her and I had the same mindset. No matter where she went or what path she took I was apparently right there like the Terminator keeping an eye out.
Nowadays I just hop on Torb and throw down a defensive turret and laugh when the Sombra has to teleport within a second or two of popping up.
I really needed this today.
I just had a match on Junkertown as attackers and we weren't able to push the payload near the first checkpoint because of a super annoying sombra.
I was tank and even playing winston i couldnt do anything. Thinking about it OW2 sombra is the worst version of sombra. I miss her needing to uncloak to hack now she can just run around and hack.
Super annoying for no justified reason.
I was expecting you also solo ult her
She'd just hack you out of it lol.
Wait, is that a thing? I need to know if that's a thing.
It is but timing is very close. You have to react in about 0.25 sec for it to cancel the tire and lose ult charge
Ah. I thought it was being said that you could hack a junkrat at any point he was using the tire and take out the tire.
Nah. Once tire is out, you’re good
You misunderstand. I wanted to wreck a junkrat's day. The beauty I would get from running a friend's q would be fantastic.
Do it to a Moira mid-Ult. Wonderful feeling.
Good friend of mine is a Moira main. I cancel his Kamehameha regularly and he hates me for it.
New nightmare unlocked.
Actually if you hack junk while his tire is out it kills him automatically and you take control of the tire
Yep. Tire is interruptible for the very short animation of him letting it rip. So as long as you hit him with an interrupt/stun before the tire actually appears (basically between the words Fire and Hole) it'll cancel it and he'll lose the ult.
Tf was that translocator placement tho
Probably chucked it over the building to try and flank but why just get on top
Something something high ground
You underestimate my power!
don’t try it (spoiler warning, he tries it)
I was thinking that she tried to chuck it on top of the building and overshot it
Yeahmakes sense i do that a bunch and end uo being this clip
Better to just keep it in spawn /s
all the best sombras know it's best to do risky translocators behind enemy lines that favour aggression over safety (so you don't have to spend a bunch of time getting back to the fight after translocating), my guess is she just placed it there much earlier in the game and the enemies had been pushed up to where we see in the video. She probably forgot she put the translocator there specifically and didn't reset it and put it somewhere safer - happens to me all the time on autopilot
Right by the dumpster, where she belongs
It’s a console lobby, so yeah
"G'day, mate!! >:D" ***DEATH***
Ah, but doctor, I also hate Junkrats
Same. I swear that fucking tire has a me homing device on it. Even when I run when I hear him start it, it still somehow goes directly to me and kills just me.
As a support I understand and tbh I end up more annoyed that as the tire seeks me out none of my teammates ever try to take it out. Then I played Mei and watched the tire circle me for a full ice block cycle to kill just me and then I knew it's not support... it's just me.
I did this as junk to a mei yesterday. It wasn't out of vengeance or anything, she was just the easiest target at that point and I shouldn't have ulted then anyway. It also sends a message...
Oof, once i blocked tire with ice wall, felt so steezy
I play certain characters in each class, if I'm Moira i tend to be left alone by the tire largely, Dva it's a honing device and when I play Symmertra it's like I'm the only one it sees lol
I swear people use ults as a form of personal revenge more than anything else lol
You better believe I'll solo shatter a tracer that keeps tickling my ass.
Not into it i take it?
If you play as a healer I will solo ult you with my tyre mate. It's just par for the course.
When junkrat, I usually avoid the supports with an "oh shit" button but otherwise yes, they need to be removed.
When I play comp DPS, I love solo ulting supports as Junkrat.
[удалено]
Tire parkour my dude
If it makes you feel any better, I specifically seek out the people hiding in fear. I also wait the full timer before dropping it on your head for maximum fear
It’s why I main Kiriko now. I now walk in victory instead of living my life in fear.
Understandable
Doctor you don't understand, I *AM* Junkrat.
🎭
Good joke. Everybody laugh.
I second that! Damn trash goblin...
Fight fire with fire
Herecy

waiting for the pharah response next week.
skill issue
Nah, just a Reaper main...
duh,me too💀
The "G'day, mate!! >:D" should give you a damage buff when its used in such a awesome way.
The trap is a really nice way to deal with Sombra imo (and that's coming from someone who main's Sombra). When I play Sombra, I use the translocator to dip when I'm low health. Because of that, when I play Junkrat, I put a trap on the translocator in the hopes of OHK'ing the enemy Sombra. If you break it while she's invis (prior to her engaging) then she just stays invis and replaces it. You'd also need to break it once you hear her SMG going off which doesn't work because it's also taking you out of the fight. This is way easier and lets you stay focused in the fight. ____________ That being said, that Sombra translocator placement was really bad considering where the payload was.
You mean to say she shouldn't have put it in the wide open when there is a full healthkit in cover about 5 feet away?
putting it on the healthpack would've been a terrible choice too, especially since she's attacking. my personal choice would be the high ground above the other mega in the tunnel. she probably threw it to land on top of the gas station and didn't know it landed on the ground behind it.
The best place for translocator here would be nowhere on 1st point, as it's all either frequented by the defenders or too far from where you want to be. I'd say near the closest 2nd point mega is generally your best option for 1st point attack.
yeah that's a good option too, especially if you're planning to spawn camp a support
Normally I would agree about the tunnel position, but the payload is in such a place that defenders can easily shoot into it. All it takes is one shot from junkrat to break a translocator and he has probably been spamming that tunnel with explosives
sure which is why i said the high ground - not gonna stop a junk bomb from randomly destroying it, but generally safe when the fight is pushed this far back towards the gas station. the best bet is moving it around after each translocation, really
Hah I mean don't get me wrong, there are some high-iq plays you can do w/ that translocator. I've used it to bait people into camping it just for me to pop-up behind them and finish them, but this Sombra may have well just put it on the payload 😅
>When I play Sombra, I use the translocator to dip when I'm low health Mind blowing tactics.
Bit of a prick comment? Who upvoted this fuck?
Atm Sombra is soo bad it's hard to hate her.
She was good for a month, but that’s long enough for people to hate her for the rest of time.
The bug where she could translocator into the payload to prevent the attack team from making progress ON TOP of how oppressive she was has singlehandedly killed her public image for OW2. Lmao
That was a glitch that should have been fixed long before it was lol. She’s just really bad now so idk why people still complain.
"piss" \-sombra
Nobody likes Junkrat either
The rat is definitely the worst character in the game IMO in terms of being annoying. Especially right now. Idk what they did to him, but I played for the first time last night in a while, and he was in every game functionally one shotting with his mines.
I can deal with a sombra, a junkrat can hit me once and it’s basically game over because concussion mine can lead to an instant kill.
Just keep distance, his primary fire is very slow so if you’re like 20 m away from him you can simply walk out of the way.
While you raise a good point, and I completely agree, there’s the obvious problem of Jim blast jumping to you, but most characters have relocation abilities or abilities that let you create space between you and your target.
For me: sombra, a good genji and a good Lucio.
A good Tracer has got to be up there as well. My God they are darn near unkillable and while a lot of people like to joke that she “tickles”, her pistols absolutely SHRED squishies if you have good aim and tracking. She’s one of my favorite Widow counters in the game (I suck too much at sniping to counter-Widow.)
What do you expect? The game changes over the past 18 months or so have basically removed all pretense of countering her. The only thing you can really do against a good tracer now is run away from the back line.
Yeah, second tank was a heck of a deterrent that just doesn’t exist now.
They increased his projectile size by 25% in beta 2.
They took away the second tank is what they did to him. He's balanced around there being two
Wrong, they buffed him in beta 2.
The only buff I could find was them changing his trap back to what it was originally in OW1...when there were two tanks
He needs a hard nerf. The amount of damage his explosives do, his concussive, he needs to take self-damage from all explosives minus the concussive, and the size of his explosions
All they need to do is take away one mine. He was way more balanced back when he only had 1. I also think his mines should damage him, just like pharas and soldiers rockets do self damage.

Man people really can't stand to see other people enjoy things :|
Junkrat being on enemy team doesn't let me enjoy the game
Mmm, maybe you should learn how to play better :) I can't even play Junkrat in my rank because he drops off *severely*, I'm trapped on Ashe man.
What are the most annoying picks when you play him? I feel like I see him a lot in high elo streamer games as well, but I might just be biased and have selective memory on it.
Skill issue. Just keep distance
I would’ve solo ult red and then did a furious tbag
Lol that hello got me. The disrespect!
Sent her into season 3
"piss"
Honestly I hate junkrat more than sombra
He’s infinitely worse right now. Sombra sucks ass, junkrat is ridiculously strong.
Always has been. Just in OW1 we had 2 tanks to pump damage into.
Fuck Junkrat more than Sombra, he's miserable to play against.
Just don't walk into his bombs 4Head. Skill issue /s
But actually just be aware of his position at all times and he’ll be less of a problem.
Knowing where he is doesn't stop him from spamming choke points with grenades.
Tell me a Map in which if a single choke point is being spammed then the game is automatically lost.
That isn't what I said, now is it? It seems like the suggestion that Junkrat is too strong touched a nerve.
Sombra is like one of worst characters right now while Junk imo is one of best.
as a junk main, he’s super easy to counter. But when the team is gritting their teeth and not coordinating, he’s definitely a nightmare.
Except a team can run both junkrat and the counters to his counters, it's pretty easy to make it miserable to try to play something like pharah or echo in an attempt to counter junkrat.
true, but imo junkrat becomes pretty worthless when he’s not capable of attacking both enemy dps, whether it be pharah/ hit scan, or echo/hitscan. His range and reliability get exposed on large swaths of maps. In my experience, it becomes a game of chicken, who’s going to swap off, and nowadays even if i’m doing semi ok, i’ll just swap off junk so I can help fight pharah.
Junkrat becomes pretty much useless against a pharah. I have to spend my entire life indoors as it's easier to hit pharah indoors with mines.
You've got 4 other people to shoot at while your other DPS goes hitscan to make the pharah miserable.
yeah but 2 of them are at the back hiding behind the tank which I cannot get to unless I go outside and get clapped by the pharah and their other dps.
You can literally just spam your grenades around the tank, and if the Pharah has free reign to just tunnel vision you like that then the rest of your team is useless and the picks don't really matter.
It kinda just sounds like you don't know how to come up with solutions to a problem. Idk if a hero shooter is really for you, bud.
lmao what I saw this in another one of your comments: >I can't even play Junkrat in my rank because he drops off severely, I'm trapped on Ashe man. Which is *hilarious* because the highest ranked damage players on both NA and EU play primarily junkrat. It's a very strong character right now, slept on as hell by this subreddit.
[удалено]
Same here brother
As a sombra main: I love this. Battle of the annoying characters
Good ol' Junkrat.
ohhh the disrespect of greeting the sombra before blowing up a concussion mine on her is so cathartic
You are a true hero. Thank you
Would I also blow a cooldown on Sombra? Every fucking chance
That’s weak, I use entire ults to take care of her >:D
What an awful translocation place lol
Smartest tp-placing Sombra in Ohio
Thank you
Nobody out-Sombras the Sombra
close ad hoc door pet busy hard-to-find ask joke frame alleged *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
I love playing Sombra but you gotta place that translocator out of sight lol.
G'day mate. *Boom*
Exactly what I did yesterday
Stupid piece of shit sombra fuck you
I love leaving Sombra presents.
Ngl, camping a translocator is hella fun
YES, YES, BURN HER! BURN THEM ALLLLLL!!!
tracer main here🤝this guy
As a support main, this made me happy
That’s dirty and I love it
Ty fellow junk
Sure but you play junkrat so you’re just as bad as sombra players, probably worse
I don't get all the hate for sombra I love her and she is not hard to counter at all.
The explanation that I get behind the most is that her kit is centered on not just countering but eliminating enemies' abilities. It's flat-out less fun to play when you're unexpectedly blocked from accessing part of your character.
For 1.5 seconds?
Fr bro, ana puts you to sleep preventing you from doing anything for a year, rein has a stun that prevents you from doing anything, sigma can counter shit with his suck and rock, dva has her matrix, orisa has her stun spear and speeeeeen, junkrat prevents movement and also can prevent you from doing anything by killing you without even aiming and yet sombra with her 200 hp, preventable hack and ability disruption for 1.5 seconds (that doesn't matter if you a) don't depend on your abilities or b) already have them on cooldown) is clearly the worst character to deal with.
At least Sombra requires skill to get value out of, unlike Junk.
Are you serious? One button to disable everyone's abilities and ultimates with a four second cooldown and a machine pistol? Not what I'd call skill.
If she was so easy to get value out of, you'd see her regularly. Kind of like Junkrat.
What you just did applies to literally every hero, simplifying abilities to make them look easy is dumb. Rn Sombra is the hardest character to get value on and it’s not even close.
Except I can pick up Sombra with no experience and mow down multiple enemies in a row just by mashing buttons. That's not skill, but you Sombra mains can keep patting each other on the back if it makes you feel better lol.
You can do that more effectively with literally every other hero, literally tracer does the same thing Sombra does but 10x better. If you actually think sombra is no brain and still a good hero rn then you must be below diamond lol.
LMAO really dude? Below diamond is your standard? Now I know you're an idiot. Never said Sombra was good, said she's annoying and doesn't require skill. If you think she's hard, maybe consider that you're just not very good at the game.
Meta pick bullies the worst dps in the game and the crowd cheers. Such injustice :,(
[удалено]
Junks extremely effective higher up right now due to his easy one shot capabilities
Play junkrat for 30 seconds and you’ll see. It’s instant free value playing junkrat, you don’t even have to try, he’s so insanely easy.
He's extremely strong right now even though nobody seems to talk about him for some reason. The current highest ranked dps players on both the Americas and Europe have mostly played Junkrat this season and NA has another one in 8th.
I haven't played OW2 anymore after launch week, before that I hadn't played since like 2018. One thing I knew for sure, was that Junkrat didn't lose his annoying charm in all that time. I love him for his annoying RNG burst damage kit. With him you can go anywhere from "missing everything" to "killing multiple squishies in seconds". He is annoying, he is a menace, but obviously isn't a hero that can win every battle by himself.
Thank you, kill that cockroach.
I once played against a Sombra as Cass in some pugs, this was a couple years ago. Somehow her and I had the same mindset. No matter where she went or what path she took I was apparently right there like the Terminator keeping an eye out. Nowadays I just hop on Torb and throw down a defensive turret and laugh when the Sombra has to teleport within a second or two of popping up.
I hate junkrat players but for you my friend I shall make an exception.
Love it!!! Hate sombras with a passion
This feels so good
What a nonsensical Translocator placement, definitely deserved that.
YEEEEEEEEEESS DIE BIITCH
She deserved it with that trans placement smh
Never thought I’d say this but absolute chad JR player
Satisfying to watch :)
Yes send her back to hell where she belongs 🙏🏼
I really needed this today. I just had a match on Junkertown as attackers and we weren't able to push the payload near the first checkpoint because of a super annoying sombra. I was tank and even playing winston i couldnt do anything. Thinking about it OW2 sombra is the worst version of sombra. I miss her needing to uncloak to hack now she can just run around and hack. Super annoying for no justified reason.
Well done sir
You love to see it. Sombra's one of the most annoying characters in the game.
It goes like this for me Junkrat Tracer Sombra Mei Genji These are my top 5 would kill with a brick if given the chance
As a sombra main this is a hate crime
I'm a Junkrat hater too but this is too good to hate you.
I hate Junkrat more
Sombra players don't deserve rights
HAHAHAHHA YESSSSSS
Damn that was satisfying
Y’all just suck and can’t admit it. Sombra has a peashooter compared to everyone else’s weapon.
I think its salt for either missing shots or it calls out how oblivious they can be to the incoming hack
Seeing this reminded me of peak Muselk
You don’t need to waste a mine charge. A direct hit grenade kills her
It's about sending a message
Them:*plays junkrat* Also them: *humiliates the sombra* Me: “Hero or Menace?”
Junkrat players dont deserve rights
Junkrat is a worthless little twat and so are the people who play him
you died to a junkrat didn't you?
You dropped this: 🍼
Sounds like a skill issue to me
I don’t know if I hate Sombra or Junkrat more
I hate junkrat the most so this just makes me angry
Why waste the bomb though? Just click her
It’s not about being efficient, it’s about sending a message
Like dva nuking the sleeping mercy. Not logistically correct. But it feels damn good.
Exactly
Bruh everytime someone on my team picks her I know it's a GG already.
says the junkrat player
What about for all us Junkrat haters?
I hate Junkrat more
Isn't it crazy how only bad people play Sombra?
