Extremely unfair and does too much damage

While I am not the biggest Genji fan, this would just kill the hero
Also 50 damage isn’t a lot even if it is unblockable

feels more than 50 tho
9 second cooldown doing 50 damage is too powerful for a reset.
6 second cooldown doing as much as 500 damage and having two charges is A-OK.

What about you play the game over Bronze for a few hundreds of hours and give a real argument.

wait what cool-down is this lol
Reinhardt’s Firestrike. 2 charges, 100 damage each target.
Has the same width as Genji’s Swiftstrike, and similar strengths in that it can pierce barriers.
and yet, its exactly 50.
their are bigger problems in this game then genji’s dash reset, infact genji’s dash reset isnt even on the list.

I have never liked this mechanic. It’s really weird and artifficial that an elim resets your cooldown.
Just give him 2 charges

I will argue that it shouldn’t reset at all.
No other ability in the game can skip cooldowns.

With that moon logic genji dash deals up to 250 damage.
Can rein animation cancel and deal enough damage to instantly delete a 200hp target, and be able to chain it in a perfect situation.
Imagine the uproar if blinks reset on elimination or sombras translocator, or sojourns slide jump.

I don’t mind the reset, but I do mind that he can do it in the middle of another attack and both hits count. If someone—anyone—is going to use an ability, they should have to commit to the animation and it should overrule any other attack they were doing. Most heroes adhere to this. Genji should not get a 2-for-1 just because he’s YouTube’s special little boy.

Oh… people are going to have fun with that. Dash, dash. 100 damage.
Melee after that, 40. So 140 damage right there in a quick burst without him having used his primary or secondary fire at all. Could even go for a dash, melee, dash, melee, adding up to a 180 damage with very little time for the person getting attacked to respond.

Not that quick. Dash has long animation and the distance is long. It would be a lot of time to react. It is balancable to. They could always remove ult dash reseting or lower 50 damage if it was necessary (I doubt).
Junkrat got second charge on Mine which is ton of burst and we are fine
Fun detected. And we know Blizzard does not like that lol
Feels more? What kind of argument is that
It’s 50 damage and always has been

I mean I don’t think they should have given Rein two charges alongside letting him 90 degree turn while charging and cancel it all at once, tbh.
Imo, though, while the way dash resets works is obnoxious, the main issue is just how forgiving the hitbox is.

Yeah this would be a horrible change and, balance aside, a massive L for fun factor.
I would not go that far, but I would say that he should have to do more than a shuriken of damage for it to count, in my opinion. Unless it’s the killing blow of course.
have you considered projectile speed into the equation? if you get hit by firestrike you are blind, have slow reactions or heavily distracted by a greater threat…
