Genji has broken a record

I’m not even talking about actual fights? Genji players can get 50% of their ultimate charge before an actual fight even starts…

No, it’s not. Prior to the buffs, ultimate economy didn’t work in a way which required supports to stop healing their teammates at crucial moments because a certain DPS player will easily farm off of your heals.

What’s worse is that you say that we shouldn’t feed but we’re facing this problem during Double Shield. Feeding isn’t the problem if we’re literally living through a META that revolves around blocking as much damage as possible.

I prefer “Overweeb.”

Lol, the fact you think your rank is what’s in question, and not your ridiculous time on Genji, on a hidden profile no less, that lets be perfectly real here, is probably an alt account to top it off.

You’re defending one of the most broken hero’s this game has seen in a very long time… because you play that hero. That’s really all there is to this.

The stats don’t lie. This hero is consistently getting blade near every team fight and that’s not even just a pro league thing. The removed any skillful match up to deflect. They buffed his ult charge rate considerably with both damage and rate of fire upgrades. Like, the hero is text book over powered. He now overshadows last patches considered OP broken hero’s

I said stop healing when you’re at a big number disadvantage. You’re shoving stuff into my mouth that I haven’t said. A lot of supports in mid ranks keep on spamming heals when a fight is unwinnable

How is 8 hours on Genji of qp ridiculous lmao? I got like over a few hundred hours on the game. You’re absolutely stretching there.

I’m actually defending Genji because he isn’t as broken as you make it out to be. Like you guys are literally whining like he’s the end of the world or something. Yes, he’s strong and I never denied that. But you’re blowing the thing out of proportion with stupid arguments like getting an ult every fight even though you win the fight with said ult

Ok? That’s irrelevant. Why are you bringing up specific examples when I’m talking generally here.

No, you’ve just been replying to me with specific anecdotes when I’ve been talking generally this whole time.


To reiterate, Genji players can charge their ultimates way too easily. This is not because of feeding as you’ve so put it. Once again, Double Shield is the META right now.

bruh. He’s as broken as he is. Has nothing to do with what I think personally.

I gave a lot of examples to reinforce my argument. Genjis shouldn’t be getting a blade EVERY fight consistently unless there’s a significant skill difference between him and you. Like it’s literally impossible. i’m not getting coal or pulse bombs every fight and I’m a decent Tracer and Moira, so how is he getting blades every fight?

I’m pretty sure Hanzo had around 8% pickrate a couple years ago.

You gave anecdote and hypothetical that hold no bases to reality.

He’s strong. Probably Ashe levels of strong. But he isn’t broken beyond measure like the forums make him out to be. A small partial revert is literally enough.

And you’re ignoring the fact that pickrates are heavily affected by a hero’s popularity kit and lore wise. Completely blowing it out of proportion. Ugh

That’s because they’re midranks. I’ve seen plenty of fights turn around because of a dumb play on the enemy team, because everyone is the same amount of bad.

Genji is reaching 1 per game status and as a dps character the only other time was during the grav dragon meta where there was a hanzo in every game, between a 9 and 15% pickrate.

And he’s got twice of ashe’s pickrate, and even then, ashe is already too strong compared to the rest of the DPS cast.

Pickrates aren’t that heavily influenced by a characters popularity. Mercy would be picked far more than Brigitte, for example. They’re determined both by playability and viability before how much you personally enjoy them.

give me a break. Last patch he was middle of the pack. What kind of poor apologist attempt is this.

He’s strong, not as OP as you make it out to be. He’s a popular and fun hero, which makes his pickrates very inflated. i’m pretty sure that if another equally powerful hero was also as strong (not broken), they’d be chosen just as much. I’m pretty sure Genji is the number 1 most popular hero of the whole cast. Take that into consideration. I’m not saying he doesn’t need nerfs, he does, but geez calm yourselves

He wasn’t middle of the pack. He was a throwpick. As shown by most Genjis in my comp games

His pickrate has at least tripled since his buffs. That’s not good.

He was exactly middle of the pack. 9th out of 17 heroes.

Just because people made bad plays on genji did not mean the hero was bad.

try again.

Funny enough, Guess what the meta right now is. Double shield with Genji. A meta he should not be good in, and was already decent in before.

And like I said, that isn’t the case. Especially when most competitive matches put you against players with similar MMRs to yourself. This isn’t QP.

His stats say otherwise. Unless you want to explain his absurd pickrate and winrate combined?

I doubt you’re a decent Tracer if you’re not getting bomb every fight honestly. It’s the fastest charging ultimate in the game. As for Moira, well she isn’t broken. :upside_down_face: Plus, I would think it takes much longer to charge your ultimate through heals than damage. Damage is just way easier and doesn’t rely on your teammates taking damage in the first place.

He’s overpowered, that’s why.

:thinking:
