Genji Balance ideas

General Discussion
1

Being a meta (and also powerful) hero since launch of the game I thought he could use some balance adjustments:

  • double jump is on a cooldown of 5-6 secs
  • dash is no longer reset after a kill (would solve the “out of jail free card” problem where he is rewarded for overextending in enemies backlines
  • deflect lasts less?
    other ideas/suggestions are welcome!

So I guess you just never want to play with or against a Genji again, huh? I think Genji is really one of those heroes who just needs tweaks around the edges. What you’re suggesting is effectively taking a sledgehammer to him.

He’s been a meta hero for way too long, its some balance idea to make other dps’es viable too, its not like they are even nerfs or anything which would make him useless

this suggestion alone would make him useless the reset is needed to reward securing a kill successfully and as a disengage mechanic.

In the same way, Doomfist generally needs only 2 cooldowns to secure a kill and theb3rd is his escape. Tracer also generally can save 1-2 blinks or recall to disengage.

removing dash reset would totally kill genji. it isn’t a get out of jail free card, it’s rewarding the hero who’s meant to flank for flanking and securing a kill.

Well, skipping the 15 triggered replies to this thread, I will say great work, but you missed the changes where we decrease his ult cost by 90% and increase blade’s attack speed by 50%
