Genji main privilege is real

[Watsyurdeal-1478]

Keep stretching like that op and you’ll pull something

[suhtiwdog-1509]

Do you have valid sources verifying your assumptions and anti-Genji bias?

[tepeketepe-2342]

@guess-21823

If OWL views increase, which they will

I doubt it. People are not that eager to see genkus spazzing about 24/7 forever and ever.

[tepeketepe-2342]

This quote is so unbelievably idiotic it’s hard not to see this as weak troll attempt. It’s in the same vein as genku ult only works with ana therefore buff genku. Laughable.

Those genku one trick pros simply don’t want counters and come up with all kinds of nonsense to get Blizzard to buff their favorite and nerf their counters. The scary thing is, it works.

[TylerG-11641]

You have a very narrow view of the world.

I’m sorry to hear this and I hope you get better soon.

@Poytheon-1466

Sure, he may be overtuned now, but you’re delusional if you think there’s “Genji privilege” unless you just ignore the last 2 years of Overwatch

Well to be fair, they have been nerfing Brig time and time again for the last two years to try and push Genji back into the meta and when that didn’t work, they just said F it and overbuffed him. Just because he didn’t get buffs over the last two years doesn’t mean they weren’t trying to help him out by nerfing his counters.

[AwkwardDucky-11251]

“This could be both good and detrimental to Genji. Brigitte has some of the best tools to shut the high-skill hero down with Shield Bash and Whipshot”
Like they had to put there “high skill hero” lmao

Okay but there is most definitely not “Genji main privilege”…he’s been practically in the dumpster for 2 years. It’s not “privilege” because they’re finally buffing him.

@Wulfyk-2414

And if leaks are true we will have more Genji buffs in near future. Alnog with some Moira changes.

Devs stated they want him to compete with Echo and Doomfist as mobile burst hero. If that was goal they succeed.

I dobout they will do anything about him. We need to learn how to counter him or move to another game.

Except he doesnt just compete with them now. He bodies them.

[Sinpai-21389]

@guess-21823

I repeat, Genji was hyper-buffed because he is a popular hero, not because he was “underpowered” prior.

Did a Dev say this? If so, give the source. If not, you’re factually incorrect. Genji hadn’t been viable since the introduction of Brig 2 years prior.

[Deykar-2772]

Official statements arent always the real reason. You got to be oblivious of you think like that. If blizzard indeed had favoritism for Genji, then they wont come out and straight up admit to it.

[Aster-2434]

@Wulfyk-2414

And if leaks are true

What leaks?

[Sinpai-21389]

Sure, but there is factual evidence that again, Genji was considered dumpster tier outside of dragonblade for almost two years.

[Deykar-2772]

Mainly just by Genji players themselves and unjustifingly so.

[ProcyonNova-1247]

@DPSMOIRA-2365

Buffing one role makes the game infuriating for another role, and so they chose to buff the role played by the majority.

Genji is infuriating to play against no matter what role you’re on.

[Sinpai-21389]

My dude, what? Blind comments like this are why people make YouTube videos laughing about the forums

[Deykar-2772]

Comments like these is the reason nobody takes Genji mains seriously.

Please Nerf Power Creep instead of Nerfing Defense/Support

Dropping by with a fun fact! Looking at GM players for the current patch (1.43), Genji and Soldier: 76 are #6 and #7 in terms of win rate for damage heroes (out of 16 total). They’re not doing quite as poorly as the general community sentiment would imply. Game balance perceptions/opinions are often repeated and perpetuated enough that they start to become accepted as fact by many players. We also should remember that things like win rates and hero power/effectiveness can fluctuate significan…

[Devils-1895]

If Genji is favored by the playerbase why is this the first time he has been good in well over a year and closer to two years?

[BlueMonkey-21650]

I have the feeling they will give him more buffs for increasing hir ultimate charge by 5% lol
+I’m already playing Paladins and League of Legends

“This could be both good and detrimental to Genji. Brigitte has some of the best tools to shut the high-skill hero down with Shield Bash and Whipshot”

and:
“Everyone says Genji is the meta, but what people don’t know is what makes Genji meta is Brig, because Brig is so important to making that aggressive playstyle [work].”

Of curse it’s not like Genji is meta because he’s over-buffed, it is Brig’s fault because she is very broken.
