Can we please make it so whenever Brigitte tries to shield bash Genji, Genji can deflect (parry) it like a melee attack? If she was meant more for Tracer can we give Genji a little leeway here? XD
EDIT: This thread was made multiple months ago, long enough for brig changes to happen and long enough for me to change my mind about this. Please stop posting and let this thread die.
No, she counters him and both are fine
Idk how i feel about this. I kinda want to but it wouldnt be fair. The only stuns you can block are flash and hook. And flash only if the mcree is dumb enough to throw it at you and not to the side or above (or below). If anything atleast block the damage not the sttun
definitely not. genji needs that counter
She is kinda the only hard counter to him
Not a hard counter exactly, more of a DELETE button.
AKA hard counter.
You can’t deflect a charge, you can’t deflect a rocket punch. Why should this be any different?
Genji is now just a niche character. Not viable at all times. Like Reaper, Sombra, Bastion and Torb
And that’s perfectly fine. Not all characters can fit into every situation
Hard counters are supposed to have an edge against the enemy
Brigitte just out does him in any way possible, a hard counter will have some strengths but can leave themselves open.
You can play Genji around a Brigitte. Same way you can play tracer around a Brigitte. Be better than her.
You can swift strike out after being stunned done it plenty of times
It’s an unavoidable 6 second cooldown stun that does 50 damage, both the charge and the punch you can SS out of. I don’t mean deflect as in send the dmg back at her, I mean negate the damage and the stun, which still could leave him open to whip shot and stuff after.
Reason being for this one is that she can chain it into 75% of your health being gone instantly with barely any time to react.
I know what you mean ive wished for it too honestly but that defeats the purpose of brigette
Not necessarily, Brigitte can still counter Genji, but with this Genji will have a little more opportunity to get away.
I’m not sure you are grasping the concept of a counter here.
You can always switch to a hero that counters Brigitte, it’s not hard
If Genji gets leeway, can we make it so that shield bash doesn’t affect Sombra because there’s no way Brig was brought in to counter her?
Seriously though, Genji needs something else at most, not this.
This is like saying “can you make my counter be terrible at countering me?”. It’s not going to happen.
I think it’s plenty avoidable.
