Thought you left for Valorant or was that someone else?

An history of being underpowered doesn’t give a hero the right to be overpowered suddenly.
Genji needs nerfs. End of.

Genji is bullying teams in OWL on his own. That’s not ok.
Also, the argument “he has been trash for 2 years” is completely childish and crap.
Where are our 4 Mercy buffs then? Or where are our 8 Symmetra buffs? Huh? Huh?
Genji is overtuned and needs to be put back in line, simple as that.
I know playing op heroes is fun, but just like for Mercy during Moth meta, nerfs for him are inevitable.
Took me a long time to figure this one out, as I would see Genji’s that were mopping up but “he’s trash brah, trash, needs buffs don’t ya know” forever.
There is a contingent very similar to the mass of Tracer players (and some Ana as well quite frankly) who take up Genji; they presuppose they are somehow better than the other players because they took up those so-called “skill” characters. When they fail to do well, its not their skill that’s the issue, it must be the kit is too weak (or others like Brig are too good), because it’s just unthinkable they might not be all that good with the kit.
They also forget these two characters are supposed to be fragile flankers, who trade damage output for mobility. When a highly mobile character is dealing loads of damage, we have a problem Houston and that is just where the Tracer buff for range put her, but the Genji buffs are far worse to be frank.

Still better than all the other DPS.

DW we’ve all been there
I think this is definitely part of it.
The other issue is that quite frankly Genji was an uncontested powerhouse for a long time. For a long time there were no heroes that really posed a threat to Genji. He could go into any comp or fight any comp and still have the advantage. They believed it was because he was this high skill hero that they were so good on. Then when a new hero is added that weakens that ability or a meta comp that is stronger against Genji comes along a lot of the Genji players don’t know how to handle it. They felt like the other heroes/comps were just OP. They felt like their skill was so much higher and they deserved to win more. So, anytime Genji was not the best pick, they felt like he was broken. That is how you get people whining about how trash the #3 hero was. There seems to be this weird idea that he is only balanced if he is the best. And now that he is buffed to broken levels and is a must pick, they describe him as “finally viable.”

doubt that. most of the balance changes come from forums imo.
Which ones?
