So to you anything that isn’t S tier is C?
That’s not how it works.
You can’t list three S tiers and point to Genji and scream C at the top of your lungs and have it changer reality.

What im saying is he is high c teir because the meta is not in his favor at all lowering him a bit and other heros now do his job better tracer and echo hes good if you know how to play around his nerfs and know map lay out very well but over all hes a high c hero
Genji is not a hard DPS at lower ranks. I play at lower ranks (I tend to hover around gold) and I’ve played Genji hardly at all. But I still find it easy to hop on him and have good results. His gameplay loop isn’t very difficult.
You can say, “Oh, it’s because you’re low-ranked, and you’ve never tried to play him in higher ranks.” That’s the point. He’s extremely easy to have good results with in low ranks.
Genji is extremely hard to play effectively at GM because his main ability is capitalizing on mistakes (and people make far less of them in GM.) People there also have the aim to punish him.
Conversely, people DON’T have the aim to punish him and DO make tons of mistakes in lower play. You can say, “They just need to get good,” but that doesn’t change the fact that it is very easy to be effective on Genji in that environment. And most players WILL exist in that environment too.
Honestly, you shouldn’t complain about your hero being C-tier. As a Ball main, C-Tier is the BEST. Because then my hero doesn’t get evicerated over and over again, like Ball did back in 2020.

It’s so funny that you, me, and many other genji players here mention this all the time that people just ignore what we say and resort to this. And viola, the replies in this thread section dont care and say it anyways.
A lot of people dont care about balance and it clearly shows. As people would rather have genji receive even FURTHER NERFS in this current state of the game so they’ll see less of him lmao.
also wb homie
At best you say? Sure, when youre playing him metal ranks then i can agree somewhat. But i dont think we should be balancing around lower ranks but hes definitely a C tier character in upper ranks.
you act as if genji is STILL not being complained about despite him being C tier right now in this game. lets say blizzard nerfs him even further because “teehee im funny,” people here still want more genji nerfs LOL
most people put him in C tier actually. they did put him in B tier when he had that dps passive still after he got nerfed considering the fact that the snowballing speed effect helped him out despite his neutral game being ruined.
but genji is suspected to get a revert or so along with sombra, junkerqueen, and mccree getting looked at in a future patch.

People usually just complain about heroes that are popular and they see often.
You tolerate bs better when it happens rarely. For example, no one is complaining about Hanzo’s log arrows now that he is rarely in-game.
And being popular =/= too strong necessarily. Some heroes have wildly popular because they have a huge fan base.
I’m a Wrecking Ball main. People still complain about my hero when he’s F tier. Like, I get it, but there’s a difference between being complained about a little bit and having those complaints plastered everywhere and a constant understanding that your hero is likely going to be nerfed again.

Ball is an incredibly niche hero as far as popularity, where as genji is the most popular dps pick in the game. If ball was picked as much as genji, hes be complained about the exact same amount.
Also, i dont rly buy that genji is “easy in gold” unless maybe on console? Many low ranked players have decent mechanics on pc, and don’t struggle to the extent that most people claim. Again this just seems like the enemies being bad is exposable for you on genji, but i mean i can do this on literally any hero ino lower ranks.

I find it so odd that when it comes to genji then he is good in low rank and blizzard care about low rank as their more than 50% player base are so nerf genji. But when we complaint about moira, junkrat, torb turrents, etc…
All we get is skill issue, git gud or they need no nerfs because they are bad in high ranks.
Like seriously why all are partial with genji

Oh you defend moira (obviously with no aim and easy fade with shorter CD and self cleanse, gor 3 self healing ability and can solo kill flank others in low elo) and here you are complaining about genji. Mooooooora have little to no skill flooring but you guys are such a bad examples just want your hero no matter how busted that is to not get touched but slamming genji mains. He get countered by far alot of heros then moira.
You all are bunch of cry babies. Thinking ow playerbase is dependent upon genji as he is nerf all good… bit literally saw new player crying about junkrat, moira , etc…
A good character balance is that if he is well balanced in over all ranks. Lets just focus on if a character no matter you hate or love get balanced overall ?
I much prefer to have Genji in C tier rather than overpowered as hell.

Genji mains on their way to gaslight themselves every time he gets a balance patch

You realize that you just proved your own point by typing this boring long paragraph crying about how genji need buffs, right?
Also genji is in a perfect spot right now he was overtuned and back to being balanced.(20 charaters)

Isn’t C tier where most heroes should be?

Well go play him then he’s in the game right now, if you think he’s C Tier you’re just coping LOL
Drop dash damage from 50 to 5. Reduce fire rate significantly. Improve shuriken damage and hs multiplier by X.
Lol, I’m an Ana and Kiriko main, get rekt by your own fail troll.
Crying about Moira while defending Genji needing to be OP… Lol.

B tier, not C tier. C or lower indicates “not recommended/optimal” choice. useable at least unless F tier.

genji isnt balanced hes bit more bad than before removing the dps passive was potentionly the real reason but they also say he hasnt been in the meta until lauch but genji isnt the reason for these meta’s and blizz also saying it brings inline with other flankers but the other flanks now do a better job than what genji can do, plus people still complain about genji so im guessing they are not happy still.

No he isn’t. He absolutely is not. Go ahead and go watch some high rank matches and say that again. Watch how much of a clown you look like.
