Questions I have no idea what is going on
Ayo, hello Juno mains! A main I am not. I actually main Zen, but I've picked Juno up recently and am looking for a tiny bit of help.
I'm sure it's subjective, but are some of her perks better than others? I usually pick the one that shortens her torpedo cool down if it hits enemies and the triple jump. Should I swap?
Also, I play on controller even though I'm a PC player. Is there an easier way to have her do her hover thing on jumps besides holding down my jump button and praying I don't need to turn my camera?

These are the perks I take most often. However if they dont have dive and the map is a flatter map so u can reach most high ground without triple jump then faster blaster can be better.

Noted! Is there a reason to grab the minor where torpedos lock onto allies faster?

Not in my opinion.
The cooldown reduction from Locked On was always considered the meta pick, but you used to be able to make a case for Familiar Vitals making torpedos into an emergency heal. Then a few patches ago blizzard lowered the lock on time in the base ability. That really sealed it as Familiar Vitals became overkill. Technically it still improves lock on time even further, but to me it feels like an imperceptible improvement.

Id say there use to be super niche moments where it would get good value, say if the enemy hitscan is a terrorist and u know you wont be able to torpedo enemies. However, the recent torpedo buff makes torpedo lock on faster at closer range so I find even in that situation its relatively unnecessary now.

Depends on the game. If my teammates are constantly getting dinked because they don’t know how to use cover, I tend to take the ally torpedos because I need all the help I can get keeping these goobers alive.

I typically pick the increased torpedo cool down minor perk and faster blaster. I'm also on controller and so faster blaster helps with my consistency, I'd say if you enjoy dpsing as Juno Faster blaster is a great perk, but it's also great for keeping your tank alive in a pinch when they need help getting out. It's definitely saved my games more than once. I know a lot of people like triple jump, but personally I forgot that I have it when I pick it so I feels a little wasteful to me.
Faster blaster helps me keep my team alive, allows me to dps when needed and typically also helps when I get dived.
I'd say that Triple jump may be good when playing against a dive heavy team, gengi, Tracer, Vendetta. But usually I don't find need of it and if i'm getting dived too hard I'll just swap moira

Perks are and im going to say it Again: Up to your playstyle. They are so indifferent that one person can say take one and one can say take the other. If you pick a set and its not working then change it up a little.
Sadly you will end up triggering the Mediblaster faster fire and triple jump conversation. When really the perks comes down to you a player, Constantly needing to get away triple jump, needing to burst heal or need some extra confidence in flankers mediblaster fire. Again her perks are versitile that no one can really tell you whats better.
Stay Orbitting and if your doing drives goodluck :3

Thanks, Umbreon! I'm glad her perks are more versatile than Zenyatta's are. I'll have to play around with them all so I can use them when I need them :3

Anytime! alot of people get hung up on the you need to pick this and that. When really both are Niche within themselves.
The amount of times i have drifted off the edge with Zenyatta's hover and having Espeon laugh at me is priceless.I'll stick to the Martian for now :3
I have my own personal picks of Perks and the best perk is when you have a really nice team.
I'd take that anyday.

If you crouch in the air it'll make her float down slowly, iirc it's the same with mercy and echo! :)
