Still he was #7th most picked DPS (out of 16: that’s higher than average) Most DPS players also forget, that only because Genji could not instakill every non DPS/SUP hero (unlikly widow) is in a weak state. He never was.
On release his blade took longer than the zen ult (the counter) by 2 seconds. He could double jump all the time without hitting ground, etc.
Yes he requires skill (mechanical speaking: you need to know how to animationcancel… <- terrible thing btw).
Yes he is now part of the cancer triumvirate and makes it a “quartetivate” (if this word even exists…).
I want him back as he was. Utterly broken ult/high mobil cancer, but not instakill everything
20% ult cost and deflect nerfs would put him in the ground. 15% ult charge increase and revert deflect to 1.5 seconds and he’ll be fine.

Its fun just smashing right click and dash right now, no reason to use his primary weapon when I can just reflect, dash and right click kill people. Oh and I forgot the blade every 30 secs or so.
lets be honest, like…all of those are balance red flags lol
especially with how rein/zary/ana have been at that pickrate for like 6+ months
I mean what options are left for most players?
Sigma/ Orisa are too weak to be used in lower ranks
Baptiste and Zen are pretty much unplayable on Ladder
Moira was nerfed too much and too many times
Mercy, D.va, Winston, Roadhog, and Hammond can’t keep up with the requirements in todays Genji/ Ashe focused games
There’s literally just not enough options for every rank to pick from currently
Like it’s so bad, that Sigma is only really usable in Masters upwards meaning that higher level players have MORE heroes to pick from, despite making up such a SMALL portion of the playerbase.
In my ranked games I see Sigma, Zarya, Reinhardt, Genji, Ashe, McCree, Ana, Baptiste, Brig, and Mercy
My friends in Gold NEVER see anyone other than Rein, Zarya, Genji, Ashe, Ana, Moira, and Mercy. They constantly complain at me how boring it is and ask how I stand even playing
I mean does that make sense? I have more freedom in my games, more different actually viable options than players in ranks that shouldn’t even HAVE a set meta?
