Buff genji again

True

I’m not ignoring it but at the same time…people say ā€œoh the packs are brokenā€ (and other stuff) and then you mention that ā€œwhen stacked with ā€œXā€ ability it does even moreā€ …yea…that’s two abilities so obviously the effects are going to stack and do more, you clearly ignored that every healer apart from Zen and mercy can use two abilities to increase their healing output that aren’t ults…just like bionade and Ana shots, or Lucio heal song and amp, or Moira heal spray and heal orb…or bap heal nades and heal ability (I forget the name). But the difference with all of the healers is that they can do that without having to deal damage. Brig has to deal damage to do the thing you said, she can’t do that other wise…so in that sense it’s balanced because she has to put herself in danger to get that increased value

Yes but unlike Lucio for example, as soon as they leave his AOE they dont get that healing, amped or not and Lucio has to follow to keep it on them.

Inspire applies an effect that they can walk away with AND apply a boost at range. That is the problem. There is barely a range limitation and that is why she is just so much better than other healers.

Well obviously it was fun for you because he was crazy overpowered.

That mistake wasn’t fun for anyone else though and thus he got nerfed and is gonna stay that way.

Well, that’s not exactly what’s going to happen. If genji’s winrate and pickrate continues to drop miserably, Jeff Kaplan is most likely going to buff genji again. Like they said before, they’re keeping a close eye on genji to make sure he’s in a good place. At the moment, genji’s pickrate is around 3% and has a winrate of 37%, which let me tell you, is insanely low compared to other DPS heros in the game.

This is from a GM standpoint by the way. I’m not really concerned with lower ranks as they really don’t give a true perspective of how powerful a hero is.

But if you say this about the people on forums crying about how Brig or Moira is now trashed after whatever latest nerf, while they maintain support ranks well over both their dps and tank ranks, you get flagged.

Not maintain, boosted by their hero should be the correct term. Also why is your reply so accurate

i have seen only a couple people gain over 500sr playing genji after the buff, and they were NOT plat.
they were low gm high master before brig and diamond after and got high elo again after the buffs.

not the same thing as someone who is plat deciding to play brig and getting gm, which is far more common.

You know, I have a certain saying that goes as follows: if you are in a certain rank as brig, your actual rank is one lower.

I have played Genji, in fact I have an account which is purely Genji/Doomfist. Admittedly I don’t touch it much as the characters are to easy and not fun to play as killing people requires barely any effort or thinking to get to a good rank.

I sense a strong :billed_cap: from that statement. Genji and Doomfist are argurably one of the hardest heroes to play in the game. As a result, it’s impossible for you to not think at all while playing those heroes. I don’t know whether you’re playing in Quickplay (most likely) or comp but at a lower rank. However, if you were to play comp at higher ranks, you would understand what I mean by those heroes taking a lot of skill

I offer a counter proposal. This is wild, and crazy, and probably unheard of but… how about… nerf genji more?

I’m tired of seeing Gengu in 80% of my matches : / His pick rate is too high, drop that down boyo! lol

Odd, myself and the people that I play with all have the opposite of your opinion.
I can play them an literally shut my brain off. I play ranked at 3800 so not the highest level of play but I’m not a low ranked player.

I just checked and you’re low platinum so I’m not really sure where you have the experience of playing in high ranks from.

Doesn’t take require much effort to watch a high level person play games and understand how higher ranks work.

Also, there are other high rank players aside from you who b believe that balancing the game at higher ranks is better for the game as a whole.

What’s wrong with you? He’s the 8th overall pick this week/month… he’s one of the best dps right now. #2 dps pick right under Ashe… he should be nerfed, no in terms of damage but in terms of mobility

I’m not agreeing with the post but that’s an ignorant comment to add and you specifically did it for likes.
