Shuriken speed increase by however much.
The shurikens are pretty slow for a projectile, and Genji with the upcoming brig meta seems to get much weaker as time goes on, as do other characters, can we get a speed increase as a way to buff him without making him OP?
Genji don’t needs buff or nerf.
He’s fine.
If you face Brig…swap. Its what you are supposed to do.
Well he’s being nerfed on PTR and I think this is a way to bring him up without bringing him into OP.
Its a valid nerf, you dont ‘compensate buff’ for valid nerfs.
Well if a really skilled genji is getting smashed by a mediocre brig, this should not happen, its like pinning shadowburn against a plat brig, shadowburn should win, but the brig wins due to no counterplay.
nO
If the Genji stays out of Bash range, they will win every time…eventually.
Shame thats not how a team game works, but hey Brig is an INTENDED COUNTER AND META BREAKER.
Jeff said as much.
This nerf is somewhat valid, but this is just a buff, not a compensation buff, I have felt that he needs something little, as do other characters like Zarya and Ana, he needs a little bit of a buff but not a big one.
It’s called counters yo.
Genji can’t be bulletproof to everything
He is a a lot better now in the ptr
The speed is perfect.
They won’t, his shurikens dont have the DPS to break the shield and she will just whip shot and such, a counter is not a hold one button to win against said character, it is a character that is effective against another one but can be killed with counterplay, brig can’t really be counterplayed by genji no matter how skilled.
Nope, that is a fix not a nerf.
Genji is the most picked dps in the game right now, can disappear for 1 or 2 season in favour to other dps?
And Sym dies to Winston, and Junk dies to Phara.
This is just the realities of the game.
I agree his deflect hitbox is warranted, but I have a thread on PTR showing that it might need a little width/depth increase since some of his VFX does not trigger the effect.
Tell that to Pharah, Roadhog, McCree VS other immobile squishies, etc.
It’s about time you switch.
If the symm catches the winston by suprise and charges her beam, she can kill him.
If junk has good enough aim, he can get a lucky mine or mine up and fire at her.
Genji doesnt have the DPS or ability to really counterplay brig.
Brigitte is a counter to flankers and Genji is a flanker.
He doesn’t need a buff. If a Genji is countered then he simply need to switch to a counter to Brigitte.
Thats how this game works. Switch and counter.
Also they nerfed Brigette Shield bash cone - so she has to make sure you are infront of her.
If the genji gets the drop on Brig, he can absolutely take her out. Its not like she has 300 HP.
Whats a single LMB to the head with a Dash+RMB+Melee cancel do?
Infact Brigitte is supposed to counter him.
Oh wait, she’s a melee hero meanwhile you can fight her from the distance with tools that help you to escape from her.
If she counter you just switch.
