Genji buff is LONG overdue

His ult is almost next to useless. He used to have 2 slash kills and then after support powercreep it became 3-4 slashes and now it’s a 0 kill zoning ult.

He’s been indirectly getting nerfed after the release of skill floor support and immortality powercreeps.

Can you make it so that genji has a real functioning ultimate ability that acts like an ultimate that gets kills and not just a useless immortality baiting ult?

We need genji to have a real ultimate again

Maybe just hit your shots? I play moira and I’ve never had to hit shots or properly position myself in my life but I will be telling you to get better at the game!

Genji has been OP for so long, I want to be able to position badly and have bad mechanics but also get rewarded for it. Hence, I think we should actually buff my hero moira. Maybe we should make moira ult auto aim and nerf genji’s ultimate actually

I surely didn’t play this game enough nor pay enough attention to patch notes.
Since when was there a support powercreep?

It amazes me to see you are somehow a diamond DPS whining about Moira daily, when Plat Genjis killed Moiras almost consistently back when I still played this game seriously (Moira at release)

Until they revert his deflect cancel buff I will burn blizz hq down before i accept a buff for him

No one in low elo says “That moira is so good! She’s killing me! I’m so happy I died to her”

It’s about a worse player being able to outdo a better player, not about “power”

honestly, it’d be interesting how genji could be handled. i’d like him to be buffed in a way where hes harder to pick up on the skill floor. such as reverting his blade speed and nerfing dmg boosted blade comboes, but buffing vanilla blade damage to like 125 in return.

or can start off small little by little such as giving genji 28 dmg shurikens for example. i wouldnt mind seeing genji buffs, as long as it doesnt exceed something like:

30dmg shurikens

130 dmg blade

but in reality, im more on the route of just hard nerfing powercreep all together and genji will thrive

I actually agree with this. Just go back to original overwatch 1 with small balance changes and removal of mercy

I go 30-17-1 on moira all game
Genji goes 8-0-15

Genji didn’t learn, so they’re not the better player. Wait till I use fade, time your attack, deflect my orb blah blah blah

So the supps are doing their jobs timing their team-saving abilities for when someone uses a powerful ult?

FR though, I’m not against genji getting a lil buff, but his ult is fine. A buff to his melee makes sense to me. Maybe shurikens buffed a little too

Cooldown watch

Unreasonable expectation of skill from an already high skill hero

How about we just not go there huh moira player?

lol, isn’t that a big part of the game?
I’ve heard counterwatch thrown around a lot, but we on cooldownwatch now? hmmm how many more fundamental game mechanics can we add -watch to and make it sound like that’s not how the game can/should be played?

…it’s really easy to do though, and will win you the fight.

Again, I’ll reiterate, Genji could use a lil buff. Just not with his ult lol

Insert strawman of opposing argument that also implies anyone who complains about Genji is bad.

I swear why do Genji players on the forums always do this

No one has ever said that and you know it. But of course that’s your only way of countering the valid arguments from non-delusional, non-biased, non-Genji mains who have a pair of eyes and can see how bloated and strong this character is.

He’s not even OP and nobody is even seriously asking him to be nerfed either.

We’re just trying to get people to acknowledge the reality that Genji really isn’t as bad as most people who make these sorts of posts think he is. He’s better than at least 50% of the dps roster.

I remember the last time Genji was buffed.

He was in every single game and was made a must-have pick. You could 1v1 tanks easily and his agility+damage allowed him to out play virtually any hero. Having his ultimate in the span of the first mfing minute.

No thanks.

Not always being in the top 3 DPS isn’t good enough for some people.

He’s better than 70% of the roster. They just can’t handle support players who actually choose not to be bullied by a sweaty Genji all game and switch to Moira.
