I don’t like what happened to Genji, but I think Blizzard is painted into a corner here.
They can’t break low ranked play.
They don’t want to change Genji to not be a noob stomper, because the changes (likely a double jump nerf) would make him feel bad to play for a lot of players.
And the Genji players are feeling understandably upset that he isn’t as viable in high ranked play.
Totally, Genji get REAL hard to play in higher ranks, and the skill the Genji mains bring there is amazing to behold.
Yeah, they were trying to make her stronger in low ranked play, and weaker in high ranked play. I understand why they have done the changes they did, but it’s been a dogs breakfast getting to this stage, that is for sure.
Blizzard is painted into a corner here though, and I think it is worth understanding that.
Putting a one second cooldown on DB, and giving back their damage, and making blade good outside of nano would be the technically right thing to do, but look at the Mercy changes, technically right changes can be hated if they make the hero “feel worse” to play.
So what can they do?
