Using a hero with a terrible design isnt a good argument.
Also, the heroes that could punish deflect are all trash or nerfworked, and the rest of the heroes are hardcountered by deflect.
There is a reason why aside from Widow The Tier, he is a top pick in most of the upper half of ladder.
That wont happened because it already didnt happened. He was so broken when buffed he became a bronze noobstomper. And Blizz only reverted less that half of the buff he received since GOATS.
Genji is popular, and unlike Sym who was neutered with a 30-40% nerf to all her kit for being worse that pre-buffs Genji, he will be kept strong pick even if he has another stay on pubstomper town.

No, no, no. It resets when getting an assist.
And donāt forget nanoblade.

Dont forget that all his counterpicks that made him manageable are all in the gutter.

And even when his counters are all bad, heās only 11th most picked out of 17 in GM.
What does that say?

Heās fine. Saying heās too weak is just as wrong as saying heās overpowered. Itās funny how haters and fanboys are going at each other in topic after topic when his winrate is normal, his pick rates are gradually lowering and the dps pick rates are getting more and more even. He doesnāt get overshadowed by heros, but he doesnāt really overshadow any hero either
Winrate is more likely to be higher as pickrate gets lower, when fewer people play the heroes it means that the people who play him are very good at him and that their performance has a bigger impact, thatās why heroes like Pharah and Orisa have high winrates and despite being considered bad.
It is also easily shiftable since a low amount of players play him, so if a player who is actively trying to throw plays the hero he has a large effect on that heroās winrate.
So deflect dominates the game and Genji is meta according to your posts. I see.
Been drinking, huh? Get gud mate.
your vision is too small. you can make bastion OP if you put whats great about him on a list like that.
Genji was meant to do controlled bursts of damage.
the provlem is heās a terrible burst hero.
ashe is way better, widow, doom, mccree. they all have way better burst options.
so when your team needs a burst hero, you dont think of genji and therein lies the problem, his kit isnt that good. there are far better burst heroes.
he is a blade bot. blade is still a great ultimate if paired with nano or mercy boost and an ok ultimate by itself.
Heās nowhere near a must pick, so his winrate isnāt affected that much by people picking him just because heās THE pick all the time either
Iām talking about the exact opposite, both have an influence on the winrate, thatās why you donāt jugde a heroās performance by his winrate.
still , you can get barely any value from genji right now , Nanoblade is easily counterable , Trans , beat , hog , grav , and pretty much you cant do anything against comps like pharahmercy or lucio moira , thats why he is underpowered right now , also the current meta now is mostly dive , which usually goes with tracer genji , as DPS but now he cant do any value in this meta because he is a low tier hero and cant get any value even with the meta that he strikes in .
Both have an influence, but neither of them applies for the current state of genji
The hero has less than 1% pickrate at the 1% of players, thatās not a lot of playersā¦
And Iām talking about overall stats. What does gm winrate really matter, they play meta, and even if genji isnāt the meta he can be in a fine state. Currently thereās no hero in the dps roster that Iād consider a must pick, so as long as thereās variety thereās really no need to force something to be better. Itās not like heās a throw pick there or anything.
You donāt look at overall stats if you want to know how a hero is doing.
You donāt look at only gm stats either. He has normal winrates and pick rates everywhere below gm, heās not oppressive anywhere, he happens to be less viable in gm. Itās not like picking him up there is an instant lose either, heās just situational
Thatās exactly what i think about Genjiās problem.
