So ever since the Genji buff the other week, he has had free range on consoles. He is almost literally unkillable. People that use keyboard and mouse on consoles are having a field day with him and there is nothing anyone that legitimately uses controller can really do about it. He 2-3 shots everything then can dash between characters within seconds. He doesn’t even need his ultimate to wipe a full team of 2/2/2. He really needs to be looked at again…especially since diamond plus is genji every round with a good controller genji or god tier keyboard genji… edit Honestly since the buff every round feels and looks like it is 1 Genji player that is playing on PC vs 5 other people that you can tell play on console. There is a huge discrepancy between what other heroes can do and what a genji can do. Hog has 600 HP and a healing that reduced dmg taken by 50%. If a hog misses a hook on genji or it is deflected. The genji can kill that hog even with healing in less than 3 seconds. Seems a bit unbalanced to me…
- Go Moira or Brig
- Go Winston
I’m on console and he’s slightly more annoying but hardly unstoppable.
Brig can get demolished…3 round range is pretty much enough to take her shield down instantly dash melee, dead.he shreds winstons he doesnt even have to worry about getting close. He can do the 3 spread shot twice dash through 3 spread winston is dead. Especially with those using M&KB jumping all around flicking shots 180 turning on a dime, it is just insane…and god forbid he has a pocket mercy lmao…good luck.
I mean, the biggest issue with this is people gaining an unfair advantage with M+KB and Blizzard still not doing anything about it.
Pretty much every match devolves to Genji with Tracer/Widow/Ashe as other DPS, and then Rein and Zarya tank, with Ana to nano him and Brig to constantly repair pack him on console these days and it gets pretty repetitive to deal with. Genji is in every single game regardless of what other people are playing and he’s consistently a nightmare to deal with.
exactly…Every match pretty much is dictated by who has the better Genji on their team. This is a team game it shouldn’t be down to which genji is more “pro”…
“Unstoppable”
I mean you aren’t wrong
He’s a crazy stronger threat and an annoying one at that
But I’ll honestly argue a MnK Ashe/Tracer hitting shots and one clipping people can honestly be worse.
I nor have anyone I ever met know how to deal with enemies objectively better on that scale.
Just waiting for a good balance patch…one of these days it’ll come…and it’s possible console will get a bone thrown our way…
Dude, yes!!
I’ve been complaining a lot about this buff and a good chunk of my friends who play Overwatch see it as he’s a little stronger than he needs to be but it’s not really a big deal. But they are on PC.
!!!
It is a big deal when you are playing with your THUMBS! Also, I keep seeing Nano-blade PLUS a Valking Mercy pocket attached to the Genji.
What the heck? How is anyone supposed to try and stop that? It’s not possible, or if it is it’s like a .1% chance of happening. Ugh.
Best thing I’ve found on DPS is trying to time your abilities on Ashe just right so you: 1) first get his attention 2) he comes towards you to dive 3) You coach yourself back away a bit 4) You throw dynamite and shoot it right on his body.
As long as he doesn’t get any heals or anything, he will die from burning to death. He stays up a few seconds though so you have to try and evade him killing you still.
Those stats you posted, are they from just after the update or for all time? Because stats mean nothing if it adds before buff…
none of these characters have an advantage over genji after the buffs.
After. Genji is only disproportionately played on PC.
I am one of the best console Genji’s that legitimately uses a controller and let me tell you…
Go Brig/Moira and glue yourself to your team.
Easy win against the Genji.
