Been over a month, Gazlow still dominating in picks and way too oppressive, Hogger could probably use a power shift in his talents a bit, and of course, several heroes who have had terrible win rates for a long time (Maiev, Dehaka, and poor poor Genji lol 42% win rate Jesus…) so I’m just wondering…
Where dem patch notes? There is definitely stuff to work on
Aight, mechanics are fine, Hog and Gaz need a slight nerf in numbers.
Maiev is nische enough.
Dehaka… well, he is ok, may be slight rework or buff in numbers.
Genji needs a rework yes.
Genji has major flaws in its design, which makes him a boolean hero, either it works, or its completely useless (other heroes perform better at all aspects). This is similar to the issue of butcher.
Thats why a rework is needed, buffing isnt enough as it only makes the situation in which he works worse (up to anoying OP states in which the teammates become almost irrelevant), while artificialy trying to boost his winrate at other parts only to get him back to ‘balanced’ there.
And sure, it doesnt have to be a massive rework, but some changes to his base kit are most likely going to be needed.
Genji is one of the best finishers in the game. Genji is not trash or meme, it’s just hard to play. The amount of damage you can deal with Genji is unbelievable. Dragon blade is 8 seconds of hell in teamfight. You have talents to deal with any kind of damage including heavy auto attackers, burst mages, sustain damages, per sec damages. Genji is very strong at the right hand. You should know how to play him.
