Here are some Genji counters.
Hard counters Brigitte,Moria,Sombra,Winston,Symmtra
neutral counters doomfist,mccree,roadhog,rein,Pharah
If i missed anything just comment it and help as well for people who don’t know genji counters
Mei and zarya are debatable in which who wins in a fight in which i read in the reply example a genji can run away but in a situation can they can kill genji
There are plenty of counters to genji. But this is the overwatch forums. People here want iwin buttons.
I’m not sure I’d consider Mei and Zara hard counters…
Everyone you mentioned is essentially a soft counter.
Any smart Genji will just dash away back to safety and come back do the same crap again.
Mobility needs a hard counter.
i only said those 2 because a genji can’t deflect and a mei can freeze him before he dashes away
Then if you think about it everything is a soft counter to everyone. You say Reaper is a hard counter to tanks when all the tanks have a way to either protect themselves of it or endure most damage from him.
I never said Reaper was a hard counter to tanks.
Genji has the mobility to get away from Mei, as does Tracer. A good Genji can and probably will outplay a good Winston.
I think his only true hard counters are Brigitte and Moira.
The neutral counters listed are very situational. Double jump is enough to escape Doomfist’s tiny punch hitbox. Genji can deflect McCree’s shots with ease and bait flash bang. As with Winston, a good Genji will outplay a good Reinhardt. It’ll take time of course but it can happen.
i think he was just saying a example
A Soft counter is a hero that has a tiny upperhand on one character. A Hard counter is whoever that has a big chance of winning a fight. The ones OP mentioned was correct.
I would say Doom is a harder counter. Sym isn’t great because Genji can get around her turrets pretty easily a lot of the time and he does have burst damage which Sym doesn’t at all so. Zarya is weird because she can kill him but not get charge off him.
I play the 3 and they are Hatd counters.
Genji can’t kill Zarya and Mei who both dps through deflect and even worse Zarya’s bubbles make him useless
I also love how when talking genji counters the assumption is always that only the genji is good lol
Do you even know what a hard counter is? Zarya to Genji? No, just no. A hard counter is Pharah for Brigitte or Bastion for Winston. As in it’s literally impossible to defeat them one on one unless they play like absolute scrubs.
Ignoring Deflect is not enough to make a hero a Genji hard counter.
Yes, I agree with your definitions, but I disagree wholeheartedly with your last statement.
Fair enough this forum was ment for the average player which i think is gold rank and to help them
Who’s “Symmtra” ? Jokes aside, Sym does indeed slaughter foolish Gengu’s who believe they can 1V1 her.
Lol, your list is really, really bad. It should go like this.
Hard counters: sombra, Bridgette
Soft counter: roadhog (genji must waste deflect and not have dash after hook.) winston
Edit: need some reasoning or it just looks like I’m a toxic, trashy player.
Mei, Zarya, and symmetra have no movement ability’s to keep up with genji and no CC. Not counters.
Winston and moria gets kited easily to enemy team, and genji can deflect DPS ball back at her. Softie for winston, non counter for moria.
Please don’t even get me started on doomfist, McCree, pharah, and Reinhardt. Doomfist is… well, doomfist. Gets kites to easily and heavily ability based.
Mccree’s flashbang is laughable when compared to the blanket known as deflect. Even if you do, genji has hitbox reducing passive plus a movement ability for escape.
Pharah has to land the slowest projectiles ever against a wall climbing double jumping noodle boy. Have fun doing absolutely nothing to him while he somehow hits potshots on you.
Haha, rocket powered hammer does nothing to tiny Japanese man. Reflect works on melee and his projectile.
Sombra is barely a hardcounter. If you can get the hack off though, he becomes a laughing stock.
Bridgette is best girl. CC for deflect, long range melee attack, healing, and a AOE fast swinging mace.
Roady is a meh, if he wasted deflect your 50:50 on elimination. If he wasted dash only your not confirming the kill. If he has no more abilities then you have him. Softie.
Oof Fair enough my good sir
You really listed Mei and Sym? The heroes who get kited by just about everyone?
Talk about clueless huh.
