such high skill, 2 secs of "no u"to any sort of dmg except beams(there are like 3-4 heroes dat do this kind of dmg and genjis still cry bout them, mUh sKiLL), completly free to close the gap, can cancel to shotgun u in the head without u being able to react, huge hitbox .boring zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
u want bragging rights to actual skill?lets adress the least skillfull part of his kit
2-3 sec cooldown
deflect last around .5 secs
remove hitbox, use a god damned dot product, he doesn’t need to reach to the skies to deflect things
then u can add perks that change his passive like, hiting deflected dmg resets dash, final blows reset deflect

I’d say 0. This isnt complaining, its asking for an improvement to the kit that is skillfull and most importantly fun.unlike current deflect that is a snooze fest
I kind of agree. The issue is being able to properly deflect where the bullet goes back to consistently. I feel like the difficultly lies in not only being able to get the timing down, but to also get your cursor over your target’s head before they take the shot and force you to deflect.
That’s the reasoning behind leaving deflect to stay up for so long, imo. If you don’t manage to get the kill with it, you’re just dead in the water with no way to defend yourself (at least against anyone at mid-to-long range).
I like the idea of a shorter deflect, but I feel like his consistency would drop like a rock and I’m very averse to the idea of giving any more breathing room to long-range characters. I’m also not familiar enough with the character to provide a complimentary change in his kit that would solve/alleviate the downsides.
Most DPS abilities are “boring” in someway.
Oh look, you put a wall up. Yay
Thats why i gave a short cooldown, more oportunities for more plays even during the same duel without the “i can just walk on u and all u can do is run away or watch until i click your head” and god forbid some spamzo empties storm arrow while genji is walking on a support with deflect up.then u give him actual combos instead of “a dude u hit with a shuriken 5 secs ago died to a widow hs here is dash back”
Long range hitscans are a problem, genji deflect does not solve that problem
Yeah i did, then i jumped on u with my shotgun and bajilion health and blocked 70%of ur dmg while i did some auto aim dmg myself
oh wait thats hazard
Oh look… you shot someone in the head from 900m. Boring.
Oh look you did that to Genji and shot yourself in the head. Boring. 
I said this long time ago why is neccesary to have 2seconds deflect? It should be 1-2 shot deflect aka 0.5 - 1 sec long not longe. He has allready a good escape tool (dash and even doublejump+wallclimb are escape tools!)

Why you shooting when he’s defecting…
I agree it’s not an exciting ability… But that’s your own fault.
If its a well timed deflect it aint boring at all
I’m mocking the OP, who probably did just that, in game.

Ur right watching genji walk towards mw for 2 secs without being able to do anything sure is fun and very skillfull by genji
Good genjis would appreciate having more deflects available considering they dont use the full duration of the ability but i guess u aint one of them
