They gave him more damage, time to turn his health to 225 HP like it was supposed to happen multiple seasons ago by now. He is already an extreme pain to deal with

His Blade is getting 3 kills without Nano now. It’s insane.

It’s legit one of those ultimates that you cannot do anything against if you don’t counter-ultimate (still risky) or shut it down immediately with a sleep (granted nobody wakes him accidentally). Miss that on his extremely agile and skinny hitbox? Good game, bye bye backline, it was nice to know you supports.

Well it’s a good thing he’s still really easy to counter and outplay then
Long overdue for 225 HP. Tone deaf devs buff Genji when he’s already in a great place with a healthy pick rate. Top 5 DPS no contest.
No Sojourn nerfs, no Ana nerfs, I’m tired boss.

I’m really confused why they buffed the good major perk while giving such a small buff to the other one that you still pick twisted over it. I haven’t checked yet but maybe they fixed dragonblade working with the perk without saying. Otherwise it’s now just even more consistent breakpoints on 250/300 hp heroes with chained blade kills.
Blade has always been good people just greed so hard instead of playing for 1-2 entry picks and living. Of course when you pop an ultimate and face tank the entire enemy team without waiting for cds to be used you die.

Except how that isnt true and hasnt been for a long time. Even Nano Blade is still one of the riskier combos to go for in current overwatch due to how much mobility is present in the meta. I love when people who know nothing get to speak. Almost every character in the game has an answer to a Genji dive and some even have 2.
Blade was awful until the life steal for the exact reason that many characters can just out box a bare blade.
And anyone calling for him to get 225 physically do not understand why 225 even exists, and while I partially dont blame you since Blizzard idiotically tried to say it was for “mobility heroes”, you should still have some ability to think for yourself who got those HP nerfs and for what reason could they possibly have needed it.

I can confirm that twisted blade no longer works on dragonblade swings
Peta? I count 3 buffs to 3 perks.
I’ve told this once and I’ll say it again, everytime they buff dive it’s just another nain in the coffin for me
He was already lowkey strong before the buffs
I don’t get why they gave him 3 buffs?? Then you get other struggling dps mains that have to beg for a droplet of a positive balance change over the course of 3 years

You’re confusing the word “penta” for 5, “peta” is just an order of magnitude bigger than “giga”
I play around masters. I have a problem with Genji. My 2 other friends who are Masters-Grandmasters and are Top 500 also agree Genji is way too strong
Even in FPL when I saw Kraandop play, they kept banning Genji and Soljourn. These are pro players indirectly telling you that these characters are broken.

Yeah the balance team has to have several Genji mains on it. It’s the only explanation.
Sweet sweet, hey now that your done talking about something no one was talking about how about we get back on point here? The argument was about Blade, and I brought up the 225 HP nerf morons like to think needs to happen.
When the pros play Genji they are not playing him for blade. Perks came and have definitely made bare blade quite a viable ult now that he cant just be outboxed by 2 people, but Nano blade is still a much riskier combo than nano rail. Its only real purpose for awhile was to spend 2 ults to blow up a tank which is fine but lets not pretend its anywhere near as crazy as you want to pretend it is.
And hey great thing you pointed out rank because Ive peaked at around top 250 this season, sitting at maybe top 350 at the moment in M2 like 80%?. The issues this season have literally nothing to do with Genji, Genji is only picked right now because Dive is meta and there really arent that many dive DPS. Genji works very well with Winston dives, but Genji as a hero still has very little personal agency.
And if youre actually masters and your friends are in GM, hopefully not one of you ever again talks about genjis “extremely agile and skinny hitbox” because Genji is genuinely extremely easy to hit. You dont get to be in Masters right now if you dont understand that being in the air isnt the strong juking tool bronzies think it is, and he can only ever dash behind you once with the most linear and predictable dash in the game.
Genji is banned in FPL because he’s the only DPS that can actually follow up on a Winston diving onto high ground. Theres a reason Tracer isnt nearly as banned and its because has no vert mobility despite just being stronger on her own than a Genji. And the Soj ban is obvious, that character is disgusting and should be removed. Widow 2.0 isnt healthy and rail has to go to the gallows.
I give it about 2 days before genji mains start asking for more buffs because genji bad
