Every DPS ultimate is capable of being shut down, avoided, countered or blocked; but not Blade.
It goes through barriers and enemies, it requires no aim, is used by someone incredibly small, evasive and fast, and can literally kill any squishy in one second.
I repeat: I can’t run away from it, I can’t protect my team from it as a tank, we can hardly shut him down because of his double jump and dash, and the damage is super consistent and heavy on top of it.
It’s the only DPS ultimate that can’t be answered by a cooldown ability, the only answers are Trance and Sound Barrier.
Anyone can escape Tank Bastion, anyone can escape, block or stun Death Blossom, Barrage, Visor, Strike, Tire, Meteor, Blizzard… Blade is just flawless.
To be fair, I see a lot of Reinhardt’s use their shatter to stop an ulting genji.
But I also have a lot of issue with dragonblade. It can be very useless or very devastating. If you have reliable genji counters on your team it should not be too big a problem but genji can usually find his way around it if hes good.
Not to mention the target doesn’t even have to be on Genji’s SCREEN to take damage from a swipe. The amount of times I’ve died to blade when I was off screen in the kill cam is absurd.
You can kind of tell when a Genji is about to pop his blade after a while. Sometimes even bait it by grouping up. Blade is something that’s better to track and anticipate rather than react to.
dude ana sleep can destroy it bri sheild bash mecree flashbang orisa big green ball of moving i forgot the name haha the dragon blade is good but usually genjis only get it alot if ur feeding or if hes good im gonna guess by ur profile pic u play bastion alot he really feeds genjis ult deflecting actually charges his ult faster that’s why genjis love fighting bastions
a good way to stop a genji ults is to smother him with winston and a moira moira can dodge the blade dash and winston can take a few hits and moira can heal him or just get good with the stun abilities the best way to fight him as bastion is to stand ur ground dont run away healing yourself that just makes u bait im not saying its gonna be ez especially as bastion but its better to fight than run as him
Ok, so your solution is to just hit the tiny flying double jumping maniac with the hardest CC to hit in the game. Why don’t I think of that?
Again, he can double jump. Shield bash only works on targets on the ground. By the time he touches the ground, you’re already dead.
Probably the best idea you have listed here. Except, oh wait, he can just deflect it back into your face with his nonsense deflect ability.
Okay, first, it’s called halt. And second he can deflect that too, and even if he doesn’t, he can just dash right back into the action since the ability resets any time he sneezes.
He’s not balanced. Anyone who thinks he is just wants their broken weeb fantasy hero to remain overtuned.
Dive tanks and barriers absolutely ruin Visor because he has normal mobility. It’s not like he can dive through everything and damage through barriers with it.
A good genji is completely unbeatable, even with multiple of his supposed counterpicks on the team.
Screw this company for thinking to give an already hard to hit melee monster deathtouch (which his ult basically is to anyone except the high HP tanks).
But hey, unless the Pros complain, nothing ever happens. And they can deal with genji, no matter how terrible it is for casual players.
e: eff it. This takes me over the edge, I am uninstalling this game again. So tired of the this bs.
lucio boop
zarya buble
pharah conc
junkrat mine boop can screw him up
discord and focus fire can kill him fast
if u are support u can stay on your team rein, and hope he can kill the genji or atleast after u die
brig stun
mcree flash
ana sleep
anti nade can make genji unable to get healed when he tries jumping into your team
halt
hack sombra
speedboost
and many other things… and maybe just kill him? its 5 meter melee ult
even top 500 genji get shutsdown everytime when dragonblading
see agilities, shadowburn, necros, shadder2k, and many more
ive seen alot pro genji stream / top 500, dragonblade is:
20% chance to kill 1-2person
10% chance to kill more than 3 person
40% usually get countered
30% genji end up dead before killing anything
