I’ve been wanting to make this list for a while now, because whenever someone asks me why I’m shipping roadrat and why I think they’re canon (confirmed or not), I always wish I could just send them one link.

So here goes (feel free to add more if you think something’s missing)!

1) They hardly ever appear apart
In all the official art, comics, etc., Junkrat and Roadhog almost always appear together. The other Overwatch characters will appear alone or with varying people, but the junkers are always together.

2) They have matching/linked skins
As far as I know, Junkrat and Roadhog are the only characters to have matching skins (Junkenstein and Junkenstein’s Monster)

Please correct me if I’m wrong here!

3) Voice line development
They used to have a voice line exchange that would go:

JR: You hook ‘em, I’ll cook ‘em.
RH: Shut up.

But now the line goes:

RH: I’ll hook ‘em…
JR: And I’ll cook ‘em! (x)

4) Matching Christmas sprays
Junkrat and Roadhog now have a Christmas-themed spray showing the two junkers fistbumping while sipping drinks together on the beach.

5) They vacation/have fun together
In the Overwatch comic “Reflections” we get to see what the Overwatch characters do for Christmas. Junkrat and Roadhog are seen having the time of their lives racing around in a car:

6) They have a (super gay) theme song
When the comic was released, Twitter user biscuitzombie asked the official OW Twitter which song the junkers were playing in their car, and OW responded with “Down Under” by Men at Work. It was quickly discovered that the song contains at least one reference to gay sex.

7) They exchange Christmas presents
As part of Roadhog’s Christmas skin, his gun suddenly bore the label “From: Junkrat”

and in a piece of art tweeted out by the official OW Twitter account, Junkrat can be seen unwrapping a t-shirt with a pachimari print, which Roadhog is known to love:

8) They are each other’s loved one
When launching the “Reflections” comic, the official OW Twitter tweeted out: “Join our heros as they head home for the holidays and celebrate the season with their loved ones:

Junkrat and Roadhog are clearly celebrating together, ergo… loved ones!

These were all I could think of, but please add more if I’ve missed some!

Additions (thank you to everyone who contributed!)

9) Coming out
On National Coming Out Day, Blizzard posted a picture of Junkenstein and his monster with the caption: “Find some who looks at you like Junkenstein looks at his monster”.

10) Who’s the top?
In-game, when a Junkrat kills a Roadhog, Junkrat will sometimes say, “Guess we know who’s really on top, don’t we?” and it’s pretty hard to imagine that the writers didn’t know double meaning of “top”.

11) Junker Christmas
On December 25th 2016, the official Overwatch Twitter posted this picture:

It’s not an official Overwatch/Blizzard artist, but since it’s been posted by an official Overwatch account, it’s fair to conclude that they at worst approve of it and at best consider it canon. So, the junkers celebrate Christmas together <3

12) Big Lug
Rare amphibology used in speech both in insulting and endearing way. Very likely, Blizzard did it for a reason.

13) Yet another set of matching sprays

This spray set shows the junkers charging into battle on Hog’s bike. They’re clearly having a good time together.

14) Matching couple’s t-shirts

Blizzard continues the couple rhetoric when it comes to Junkrat and Roadhog. They recently released new Overwatch merchandise, and they featured the Roadhog and Junkrat t-shirts together as a set/couple, and in their PR materials, they show a romantic couple wearing them together (original pics post here). This isn’t anything concrete, of course, but they keep using couple imagery when referring to the junkers. 

15) Synced dancing

As the only Overwatch heroes, Junkrat and Roadhog dance emotes synced up so they clap hands/high-five during their dancing. Their dances are also directly related as they’re both old school hip hop dance moves.

16) The Plan (yes, all of it. It’s all gay)

17) The fucking song
When sucked into the Nexus all by himself, Junkrat misses his “pal” Roadhog so much that he sings a sad, little song about it.

18) The Leg POP

19) Voice lines that suggest that Junkrat is just generally very fond of his Roadhog

Thanks to @fingurken for the contribution!

20) At the 2017 Christmas event, Junkrat’s beach skin features him wearing a bracelet that says “If found, return to Road[hog]”
