Junker Queen's Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
Hard to hit.
Junker Queen has a thin hitbox among tanks, so she takes fewer hits than other tanks. Also, she often fights by hiding behind walls and then attacking all at once once her ability cooldowns are up, which further reduces the hits she takes.
Healing from landing abilities
Junker Queen can heal by continuing to land abilities, so the more she lands, the more durable she becomes. In particular, Carnage
deals high damage and its cooldown is reduced when it hits enemies, so landing it repeatedly lets her heal a large amount.
How to Counter
Use heroes that can take to the air or hold high ground.
Junker Queen's primary fire and abilities struggle to deal damage to enemies in the air or on high ground. She also loses the healing from landing abilities, so using heroes that can hold high ground or fly makes it easier to counter her.
Use heroes with debuff effects.
Because Junker Queen has no barrier, she is easy to hit and hard to miss with debuffs such as Nade
, Discord
, and burn effects.Use heroes that can nullify Carnage
.Carnage
deals high damage but has a large wind-up. By landing Particle Barrier
, Lúcio:R-CLICK, Javelin Spin, or the like at the moment she raises her axe for Carnage, you can nullify Carnage.
