It's not very often that someone using Overwatch's voice chat turns out to be helpful and entertaining.

YouTuber Rinsenpai was one of those lucky few to experience just such a thing, joining a game with a player named Junkrat who was, appropriately, playing Junkrat. Not only that, he sounded exactly like Junkrat. The impression was so good that it wouldn't be surprising if we learned that he was the actual Junkrat voice actor.

While affecting the voice of everyone's favorite Australian anarchist, Junkrat responded to his teammates, made some jokes and even called out plays and locations of enemy players. What a team player.
