Was Junkrat REALLY nerfed?

So im pretty sure you all heard, but Blizzard tried to "Nerf" JunkRat, and i don't really think it helped that much.

JUNKRAT

Frag Launcher

Projectile size decreased from 0.3 to 0.2

RIP-Tire

Tire movement speed decreased from 13 to 12

Developer Comments: These changes are aimed at lowering some of the most frustrating parts about playing against Junkrat. Decreasing the Frag Launcher’s projectile size means he will have to aim a bit more carefully to land powerful direct hits and slowing the RIP-Tire’s movement speed gives his opponents slightly more time to destroy it before it detonates.

His Projectiles were Small enough to begin with, so JunkRat Spammers Never DID worry about aiming to begin with, and the RIP-Tire still moves Plenty fast and, Kills wise, has roughly the same rate of "success" as before.

 

I'd like to hear your opinions on this, What could they change to Improve Gameplay for/against JunkRat, but stunt Spamming, etc

Is this in the recent PTR patch?

I thought they already nerfed Junkrat in previous patches?

Oh no this was the April 18th PTR, But no one ever seems to talk about how bad they tried to "Nerf" JunkRat, so i felt like i should start the conversation.

 

BTW, Here's a link to the PTR: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/overwatch/t/overwatch-ptr-patch-notes-april-18-2018/72390
