So the exact sighns of a weak hero got ya makes complete sense
Was thsi only first slots or was it all slots because you shoudl gi e each slit different value based on howl ong they actually played said heros because i see players who have less then 20 minits on genji have him as their 3rd modt played dps hero while having over 2o hours on tracer. So again another use of bad data cool

No. A weak hero cant get enough value regardless of skill/effort.
First slot. Showing that he’s viable to main at the highest level and that he’s not niche or weak. The heroes above him being overpowered doesn’t mean Genji needs buffs it means they need nerfs.
Nk thats not how that works my guy this is a video game with skill based match making i can skill gap people from time to time.
No it doesnt it shows tracer viable for flanker and every other flanker is worse off pluse again popular cares alot of weight in video games. As well does it take into account multiple account from one perosn like lets say junkrat what if 5 or so were all from one guy
Genji is at the very least better than hog.

You’re misunderstanding me. At the very top balance has a disproportionate impact due to less mistakes, better mechanics, coordination etc. Skill gaps are less frequent and unlikely to be as large which is why balance problems create hard metas. There just isn’t as much opportunity to overcome the inherent advantage playing an overpowered hero brings.
It shows that Tracer is by far better than every other dps hero. Flankers arent unique.
Back in OW1 there was a period when Genji was actually underpowered. How did we know this? The majority of his mains dropped out of top 500 just like the mains of every hero who ends up underpowered. Popularity isn’t why heroes end up most represented in top 500 because being so highly represented relies on winning significantly more than other heroes.
Anyone arguing that representation at the top isnt directly linked to overall viability is kidding themselves. It’s the very reason representation changes so massively whenever there’s a major balance patch. If it was popularity there would be minimal change.
This is true for all heroes and there’s no reason to think it impacts some heroes more than others. Since you mentioned it there are actually multiple top 500 Junkrat accounts owned by 1 person. Thanks for that example.

He does… That’s just a very simple fact.
In the highest ranks, comp means everything, and he’s the top 4 picked damage hero in the game at highest ranks as well as in OWL/Contenders. That kind of says it all right there.
Gotta love people who open their mouths on a forum while having zero clue of what they’re talking about…
No, it’s a sign that people who whine about him being bad, need to either drop the hero or git gud at playing him at higher ranks, instead of demanding they buff him in order for the lazy Genji players to get more value for less effort. This can be said for any class/team based game really.
Yes and alot of top players agree genjis a throw pikc like back in 2019 to 2021 we have been trough this back in ow1 hes a nano blade bot once again. And i want nano gone they did it for rat dva and hanzo why can’t we do it for genji im sick of heros like genji and pharah held hostage by support heros. Give gneji his damage back for the removal of all damage amps and rush.
Shes the best flex dps vs widow being one of the best main dps all flankers are flex dps that why i say it because flex dps usaly fall onto flankers to deal with supports and snipers
Ya 2019 to 2021 and hes weaker then he was back then.
And alot of his mains have dropped out only the literally cracked out genji players whk can skill diff at their rnak stayed and rember laot of them have multiple top 500 accounts.
Exactly same for genji i know their is a guy who has i belive he said 12 genji accounts in top 500 thus is another reason top 500 is bad to use for a metric because of one person might be their multiple times. And like on rat he just got a buff that gives him a much larger damage thresh hold then genji and he dont need to land any head shots why does genji get 12 damage while rate get 30 with out head shots even if we got are damage back it owukd still be only 24
It really doesn’t matter as most streamers etc are very biased. An example of the bias is Junkrat. He was nerfed and streamers still claimed he was A tier despite his representation crashing 75% and him being a bottom pick on every region. The devs then buffed him, showing that his winrate also showed weakness. Streamer opinions are largely worthless.
As you said, Genji is popular. The stats show that he’s not underpowered both from representation and the devs saying he has a high winrate.
She’s not linked to Widow. She was also 2nd when Sojourn was busted and has been a top 2 dps pick since OW2 launched and was the top pick in OW1 almost every single season. She’s overpowered.
Yes, because he was nerfed early in OW2. That just proves that pickrate is not popularity in top ranks. Despite this he’s still the 5th most represented and is nowhere near bad. The top picks are just all overpowered.
Damage numbers aren’t why heroes are viable.
As for the rest we’ll need to wait another few days until we find out how the recent balance patch has impacted the stats. Either way for now Genji is top 5 and acting like he’s weak is just silly. He’s in a better place than the majority.

And more consider him c tier so theirs that.
The devs also dont understand basic math so i will nkt trust a single word they say till they have show they can not lie to are face.
No hes just forced and again ill say it their are people with over 10 accounts in top 500 on one hero thats skews things a lot.
Yes it is he needs to do his combos and because of how stupid high hps is he cnat do his combos just like rat.
Ya and we are going into a brawl meta the worst meta for genji to play into or against but he will still be forced like mercy will be and rein because they are popular
genji is one of the most popular heroes in overwatch so i can see why a lot of people want him to be strong and on top. of course i dont think he is weak at the moment but for sure he isnt the top dawg dps at high levels. thats tracer and widow atm on ladders i think
its always ninjas, a lot of people like them. i use to love ninjas as a kid but i dont care for them anymore. i remember watching a lot of cheesy 80s ninja movies as a kid
now that im thinking about it, i think genji is the jedi of overwatch. if you think about it in a star wars way. jedi’s are suppose to be the best in that world buidling lore. hard to master but at the top they are the best if mastered.

Well apparently tracer should get 4.5 damage and 10 ammo removed so shes on par with genji and reaper
