Overwatch 2's Junker Queen Feels Like an Improved Roadhog

gamerant.com:

The second Overwatch 2 beta is in full swing, as exemplified by Blizzard's partnership with Twitch for its «Support a Streamer» event, drawing viewers to the beta streams. The game developers are promising that everyone who has signed up will have access to the Overwatch 2 beta by July 14, leaving a window of four days before it ends on the 18th.

For those fortunate enough to have already begun playing the Overwatch 2 beta, they may have noticed the long queues for tanks as compared to Overwatch prime. With the new gameplay format consisting of 5v5 team fights, rather than 6v6, and everyone clamoring to play Junker Queen, it does make sense for the wait time to be a bit extended. It's finally Junker Queen's turn to take players to the Wasteland, and her similarities to Roadhog are noteworthy.

Why Mercy's Overwatch 2 Changes Are Sparking Outrage

While Junker Queen's kit is fairly self-explanatory, using her effectively in order to get picks can prove difficult. Streamers and beta players alike have noticed that the newest Overwatch 2 Tank can cause real problems to the squishes of an opposing team, which typically places her at the top of the scoreboard in terms of damage dealt.

Following Overwatch 2 reworks for Roadhog, players might notice that the rebellious Tank can still deal quite a bit of damage, but it is rare to see him being picked in the beta over the likes of Junker Queen, Sigma, or Orisa. It's likely that his lack of mobility in a faster-paced game makes him a more vulnerable target, and it's critical that the lone Tank stays alive to protect their team. Junker Queen is a more logical choice because she can simply stay alive.

Junker Queen is the answer for Roadhog mains that can't find any footing in the beta.
